This was released in 1968. They are considered one of pioneers of the Progressive Rock genre & founded in 1964. They are one of my favorites of that era. They have an extensive catalog of amazing songs. The lead vocalist is Justin Hayward & has been one since 1966. I saw them live (Early-90’s) at a venue by the ocean on a clear summer night. To say that it was an experience would be a glaring understatement. Never in my craziest dreams did I expect this to be on your channel. Thank you so much 😊.
This song was released in 1967 not '68. It was re-released in the '70's and really hit then. They toured with the Beatles and shared Brian Epstein as manager for a while. Mike Pindar introduced the Mellotron to the Beatles and has played on at least one recording. The song was based on some satin sheets gifted to Justin Hayward by his girlfriend. They did part ways and he soon thereafter met the woman he would marry (and is STILL married to). This song is from one of the first concept albums called Days of Future Passed which was considered groundbreaking and created the genre of Art Rock, Symphonic Rock and helped to cement the beginnings of Prog Rock. They also invented the electric drum. Rock Hall of Fame in 2018.
@@elizabethrogers8306 They were quite a musically impressive band. Just an FYI, my comment was from off the top of my head. you are correct, the initial release date was 10 Nov 1967.
This song is the last song on the album Days of Future Passed, in order to fully enjoy this fantastic work of art you really need to sit down and listen to the entire album from the start with the day's beginning to the end at the night. This album was one of the very first progressive rock concept albums. They used orchestral interludes to bind the songs together in a coherent theme about the cycles we see happening in nature and our lives. If you just want to put this song on your play list I suggest the extended version and not this radio edit. There is a spoken word poem, the Late Lament, at the end with some awesome orchestration on the studio album extended version.
I was just coming on to say that this is an album band! Their albums have a beginning, middle & end & are best listened to as a whole. That being said, Knights in White Satin was shortened & released as a single & was the theme of many school dances back in the day. I still have my original albums & play them 😊
The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in May 1964. The band initially consisted of drummer Graeme Edge, guitarist/vocalist Denny Laine, keyboardist/vocalist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Ray Thomas, and bassist/vocalist Clint Warwick.
@@GOTGames Denny Laine (who later joined Paul McCartney's Wings) and Clint Warwick left after the first album. The vocalist/guitarist here is Justin Hayward (who wrote this song when a teenager) and the Bassist is John Lodge.
The song is from the late 1960s. It's definitely a foreshadowing / forerunner for early to mid 1970s music. A monster hit in its day, by the way. Next from the Moody Blues: "Tuesday Afternoon"
This song is timeless and came out in 1968. The entire album "Days of Future Passed" just flows...one of the first/best concept albums. I would lay on my bed with headphones on and listen for hours just floating......hearing the first few notes takes me right back to the feelings it invoked all those years ago...timeless
Another one I used to get stoned and listen to late at night - songs from my youth! Love it! Music from the 1960's and 70's are so different from music today - there was Vietnam, Civil Rights struggles, women's rights struggles - and a lot of drugs - hahaha
If you enjoyed them here and want to hear something more upbeat from them, I would highly recommend "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)". It's a staple of their era and part of why they are a Hall of Fame band.
this is from the same Psychedelic Era as Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale (fact check result: both this and A Whiter Shade of Pale = 1967) I think the mark of the great music of this era is that it transports you into different worlds. oh, by the way .. i recommend reacting to the classic piece that is Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale (1967)
Both of these songs are firm childhood favourites of mine. They were the music of my parents late teens/early twenties I grew up with music like this! And I absolutely second the recommendation of A Whiter Shade of Pale! It's so good
"Nights in White Satin" was released in 1967, although they had been performing it a little before. It was ahead of its time and finally hit big in 1972ish. The album was one of the first concept album covering a day or life of a person. They are considered the forefathers of Prog Rock and creators of Art Rock and Symphonic Rock.
I climbed to the top of the mountain and lay at the edge of a cliff, overlooking Autumn colors of the trees in the distance near my parents cottage. A personal picnic consisting of a cassette deck with songs from this album and on to our children's children's children about 3 hrs. worth, enough to get me through the dime bag of weed, to be embraced in nature as one.
... released as a single in the USA in 1968, but bombed on the Billboard Hot 100. Re-released in 1972, and climbed all the way to #2. The song was definitely way ahead of its time.
The Moody Blue and Procol Harum were two of my older brothers' favorite bands. I started hearing this music in kindergarten from him, and soul funk from my sister. I guess I was a lucky kid.
Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade Of Pale" is a true classic. It and "Nights In White Satin" are songs that will forever live in my mind. I was born right at the end of 1968, so these are the kind of songs that formed the backdrop to my formative years. In many ways they are part of who I am.
The live version is very good and from a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2000. They were in their 50's at the time. It is performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Thank you for this reaction. I didn't hear it for a while. I would say that the theme is about longing for the faraway lover. I like the flute but the strings that come later are my favourite and the haunting background voices, yay ❤ BTW this you ment by 'this is the end' the song 'The End' from THE DOORS? 😊 For some old recommendations White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplaine The House of the Rising Sun by Animals THE DOORS album😁
A lot of the songs from this era had deeper meanings. Often anti war, criticizing the political scene, or holding a mirror up to society. Remember this was the Vietnam War era (America's last military unit left Vietnam 29 March 1973). I've always thought this song was about a soldier, thinking about better times, and the one he loves back home. There are lines "Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore ", "Just what I'm going through, They can't understand", "Some try to tell me, Thoughts they cannot defend", which I feel ring so true even today. Here we are, over 50 years later, and I wonder "has the world really changed at all?" I mean, there have been a LOT of changes. What I have seen in my lifetime... Especially the late 80s... (Which reminds me - have you heard "Winds Of Change" by Scorpions? If not, you really MUST). But, fundamentally, have we changed? Have we grown? Or are we still travelling down that same path? I know we can do better. I know there is hope. I have seen the face of it. It's shape and colour. I know we can make the world a better place. Not just with technology, but with our HEARTS. And a love for our fellow man. Wow. Sorry. I didn't mean to go off like that. But I think that's the true power of music. It makes us THINK, it makes us SEE, it can INSPIRE, and it makes us FEEL.
The orchestal sounds during this recording from 1967 were performed by Mike Pinder playing the Mellotron. He created the sound of the Moody Blues and has the moniker The Mellotron Man. The Days of Future Passed album was the second album by the Moody Blues from 1967. The album was a blend of their songs about a day in the life of any man and the orchstral segments between each song were performed by the London Festival Orchestra. The transitions between each song were written by Peter Knight the orchestra's conductor, using the themes from each song. The band and the orchestra never played together. The album was produced by Tony Clarke, the sixth Moody. The Moodies ware at the forefront of progressive rock and DoFP was one of the first concept albums. "Tuesday Afternoon" is another song from this album you should react to. The Moody Blues were active until Graeme Edge, the drummer and only original member of the band from 1964, passed away in January 2018 just 3 months before they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
You can see them perform right here on UTube & many other beautiful songs they sung. Justin Hayward was the lead singer, guitar player…Ray Thomas played the flute, tambourine & singer…John Lodge sang, played Bass guitar, Mike Pinder played piano, singer…Graeme Edge played drums & singer. Today, Justin Hayward was performing with 3 other people who play guitar, piano & flute, both women who sing beautifully. Graeme Edge & Ray Thomas have passed away.😪 Mike Pinder left the band years before, he’s still living today.
The song has a very nostalgic edge to it. This band line up actually had four lead singers - and all of them were good. The mood of this song is typical of the band. This line up originally produced seven studio albums between 1967-72, all of which I'm sure you will find amazing and will also want to have on your playlist. Later, they made a comeback and have been performing until fairly recently. There were other albums to follow and have been several solo albums plus a joint one by Guitarist Justin Hayward and bassist John lodge. The latter two are now the only surviving band members.
This song is off a concept album named Days of Futures Past, first time a rock band recorded and album with a full orchestra, it was recorded is 1966 and released is 1968. This album is still in my playlist I would advise listen to the whole album is a great story
Luke, The Moody Blues have had hit after hit after hit. You're right about it sounding like it was from the 70s or 80s while also right about it being from the Beatles' era of the 60s. The band was wayyyy ahead of their time. Some say that they're the founders of Progressive Rock and it's also been said that they may have been the first band ever to release a total concept album. Justin also shared vocal duties on Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds rock opera alongside Phil Lynott, lead vocalist of Thin Lizzy. Talk about an amazing project. Justin's song Forever Autumn (from the WotW album/concert film) IMHO may be one of the most beautiful rock (w/symphonic) songs ever made. Rock operas were more common back in the day than the are now, unfortunately, one of the best out there has been pretty much forgotten. It was a rock opera from around 1970 starring members of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Ronnie James Dio and numerous other British rockers of the time. It was called The Butterfly Ball and hosted by horror icon Vincent Price. It's must see if you get a chance to watch it since it's still available where you are most likely. Now as for your other question, The Doors (who sang The End) had the same emotional feel as The Moody Blues but were definitely quite different in musical style. I'd say The Moody Blues were more similar to early Genesis or Pink Floyd on a musical level but you're 100% right on The Moody Blues being very similar to The Doors on an emotional level. Both Justin Hayward and Jim Morrison were poets at heart and true legends at it.
Now please go react to the live performance at Royal Albert Hall!! You'll thank me!! This was released in 1967, when I was 15!!! Epic song that will outlive us all!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎹🎤🤘🤘🔥🔥
There are two trains of thought re The Moody Blues 1)they’re one of the best bands of the 60s-70s 2) their music is pretentious & annoying. I’m of the first persuasion. Most of their albums were concept albums - the songs told a story when listened from beginning to end. So that’s the best way to approach their music rather than 1 song plucked from a discography. Just saying that as a point of context. This song really brings back lots of emotions. And yes, I still listen to them nearly 60 years later.
Same. They're always on my playlists. I was only about 14 in 1968 the first time I heard them on a record my older brother had bought. I played it non-stop for hours...until my parents shut it down!
You should watch the live version at Royal Albert Hall in 2008. They are in their late 50's , early 60's. They are phenomenal. First rock group to use an orchestra, in the late 60's.
There was a German singer called Sandra who did a cover of Nights In White Satin in the 90's. There is no way anyone could match the Moody Blues version, but her take on it is not bad. Sandra - Nights In White Satin (Official Video 1995)🤗
Now listen to Question from the album A Question of Balance (1970), with a hard acoustic rock beginning and end, and a lush, romantic vocal bit in the middle. My fave of theirs, but there are dozens.
if it wasn't for JJBA being pretty much a love letter to western music I probably would have only listen to them on the radio and left at that but since JoJo's a love letter to music it was only a matter of time before I actually found the band and jumped in their discography along with some of the lesser know references.
Nights in White Satin” would be the second single Justin Hayward wrote for the group, aged just 19. The white satin was a set of sheets bought for Hayward by a girlfriend, from whom he had since parted - the subject of the “letters I've written, never meaning to send”.Apr 9, 2018
Nights in White Satin is one of those songs that is used for many movies, it's just that moving and epic. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert about 10 years ago. Yes, they are from the same era as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors, etc. My absolute favourite song of theirs is Forever Autumn. If you really want to treat your earholes, sit back with some good headphones and listen to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds; it features the music from Justin Hayward aka the lead from the Moody Blues.
Forever Autumn is pure brilliance. It pretty much made Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds rock opera a unique experience. To have both Moody's Justin Hayward and Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott sharing vocals was almost surreal. If you haven't seen it, the 20th anniversary stage performance of Jeff's War of the Worlds was quite the experience to witness unfold before your eyes alongside the music.
Hi, Luke! I’m your fan from Thailand🇹🇭. I have some Thai song that I love to see you react to when you have time🥺. It’s Dong by Bear Knuckle and วาดไว้(Recall) by BOWKYLION.
I was going to guess 1968 and it looks like that was it. I remember listening to this over and over watching it snow 5 feet one Winter night of '69 in New Hampshire.
This song was written as a song of unrequited love… The lady he fell madly in love with did not love him back, and this song was written out of those emotions.
Thanks for this. A flashback to my teens, the late 60s and 70s. You are correct in your ideas on this. They have a lot of good music. One of my favorite bands back then. Another one that's cool by them is "I know you're out there somewhere." While listening to this I realized there really aren't a lot of bands nowadays with this quality sound. 4th Impact just released their 1st, since moving to the US single and MV "Distorted." They say they found their sound and it is pretty good.
I only know their songs from the late 80's era... But I know they been around the 60's and highly respected and part of the British invasion. But yeah, I am going to Amazon and DL this... They been disband for sometime now, especially with one of their dude die. In a way, like Beastie Boys.. once one guy gone, the band call it quits.
When I was a kid my uncle made me and my brother a mix tape of oldies from his record collection, and this was one of the songs on it. Listen to this song brings on a wave of nostalgia because of that. I recommend listening to Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams” or Eddie Hodges’ “(Girls, Girls, Girls) Are Made To Love”.
This is an album band. They were known for putting out albums that have a beginning, middle & end. It’s well worth listening to the whole album for the full effect. Many bands in that era were into fantasy oriented songs, Led Zeppelin referenced Lord of The Rings in a lot of their songs. Queen got into it too. I love the bass in this song. They have several great albums….Days of Future Past would be a good start. Great reaction. I still have my originals or their albums & still love them!
*Day 155* of recommending the *Beyblade openings* . There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
Next listen to Tuesday Afternoon by them, it is from the same album and it likewise is very beautiful. As far as this some, it always struck me as a song about unrequited love.
Be still my beating heart. No anime reaction? So happy for the music of my youth and teen years. The singer is still touring Luke, his voice is still the same. This group was amazing.
Day 6 of recommending to watch Edens Zero openings (or at least the full version of "Never Say Never" because this song is a living masterpiece and deserves an award).
*Day 85* of requesting a reaction to the following openings: *Chivalry of a Failed Knight* op *Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress* op *Kiznaiver* op You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
I haven't seen your reaction to MORE or ARSON by J Hope. ...given you like metal I have noticed a lot of heavy rock and metal heads liking J Hopes( BTS) Jack In The Box especially his sold out( over 100,000 ) Lollapalooza main stage concert.
Please try the live version of Deep Resonance from Guilty Kiss. Subgroup of Aqours from the anime, LoveLive. I was listening to it today for the first time and you immediately popped into my head. I had to recommend it.
Please react to Mumei new M/V , its her lore if you wanna know about her more. Theres also "Hajimete no chuu" cover of Mumei with Fuwamoco , warning tho they're so sweet you might get diabetes.
You must see them on live.versions. Same with ELO and ELP. This music calibre will never repeat . This is why im so damn picky with todays music. Garbage mostly, my opinion from qhat i grew up listening to. More please. Less Anime...
What an incredible song and music video!! Wow!!

The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in May 1964. The band initially consisted of drummer Graeme Edge, guitarist/vocalist Denny Laine, keyboardist/vocalist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Ray Thomas, and bassist/vocalist Clint Warwick.

this is from the same Psychedelic Era as Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale (fact check result: both this and A Whiter Shade of Pale = 1967)
I think the mark of the great music of this era is that it transports you into different worlds.

Both of these songs are firm childhood favourites of mine. They were the music of my parents late teens/early twenties I grew up with music like this!
And I absolutely second the recommendation of A Whiter Shade of Pale! It's so good
@@kiraandou6096 I third the recommendation. A Whiter Shade Of Pale is a classic; and a must listen.

This came out in the 70s….. omg! This was my music back in the day. I had all their albums. This takes me back, I am so happy.
The live version is very good and from a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2000. They were in their 50's at the time. It is performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

I was lucky to see them in concert years ago.
Same here, in 1990. Played an amazing set including “Nights In White Satin”. Justin’s voice was still amazing at that point too.
@Toasterfinal5 I saw them around 2005 maybe? They were perfect.

It was a rock opera from around 1970 starring members of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Ronnie James Dio and numerous other British rockers of the time. It was called The Butterfly Ball and hosted by horror icon Vincent Price. It's must see if you get a chance to watch it since it's still available where you are most likely.
Now as for your other question, The Doors (who sang The End) had the same emotional feel as The Moody Blues but were definitely quite different in musical style. I'd say The Moody Blues were more similar to early Genesis or Pink Floyd on a musical level but you're 100% right on The Moody Blues being very similar to The Doors on an emotional level. Both Justin Hayward and Jim Morrison were poets at heart and true legends at it.
Now please go react to the live performance at Royal Albert Hall!! You'll thank me!! This was released in 1967, when I was 15!!! Epic song that will outlive us all!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎹🎤🤘🤘🔥🔥
There are two trains of thought re The Moody Blues 1)they’re one of the best bands of the 60s-70s 2) their music is pretentious & annoying. I’m of the first persuasion. Most of their albums were concept albums - the songs told a story when listened from beginning to end. So that’s the best way to approach their music rather than 1 song plucked from a discography. Just saying that as a point of context.
This song really brings back lots of emotions. And yes, I still listen to them nearly 60 years later.
Same. They're always on my playlists. I was only about 14 in 1968 the first time I heard them on a record my older brother had bought. I played it non-stop for hours...until my parents shut it down!
You should watch the live version at Royal Albert Hall in 2008. They are in their late 50's , early 60's. They are phenomenal. First rock group to use an orchestra, in the late 60's.
The whole album is iconic.
Definitely want to listen to it all 💯
There was a German singer called Sandra who did a cover of Nights In White Satin in the 90's. There is no way anyone could match the Moody Blues version, but her take on it is not bad. Sandra - Nights In White Satin (Official Video 1995)🤗
Now listen to Question from the album A Question of Balance (1970), with a hard acoustic rock beginning and end, and a lush, romantic vocal bit in the middle. My fave of theirs, but there are dozens.
if it wasn't for JJBA being pretty much a love letter to western music I probably would have only listen to them on the radio and left at that but since JoJo's a love letter to music it was only a matter of time before I actually found the band and jumped in their discography along with some of the lesser know references.
beautiful song
Nights in White Satin” would be the second single Justin Hayward wrote for the group, aged just 19. The white satin was a set of sheets bought for Hayward by a girlfriend, from whom he had since parted - the subject of the “letters I've written, never meaning to send”.Apr 9, 2018
You're reaction 🤘😂 was priceless ❤ Us older rockers had great jams 😅
They did a live version on you tube
Nights in White Satin is one of those songs that is used for many movies, it's just that moving and epic. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert about 10 years ago. Yes, they are from the same era as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors, etc. My absolute favourite song of theirs is Forever Autumn. If you really want to treat your earholes, sit back with some good headphones and listen to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds; it features the music from Justin Hayward aka the lead from the Moody Blues.
Forever Autumn is pure brilliance. It pretty much made Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds rock opera a unique experience. To have both Moody's Justin Hayward and Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott sharing vocals was almost surreal. If you haven't seen it, the 20th anniversary stage performance of Jeff's War of the Worlds was quite the experience to witness unfold before your eyes alongside the music.
Great reaction. Hope you react to more early rock bands. ... "a flute solo. Who are these guys". Just wait til you listen to Jethro Tull.
I think he would totally lose his mind watching “Tull”.
@@Toasterfinal5 That would make a fun reaction video.
@@johnhelwig8745 I agree 💯!
Hi, Luke! I’m your fan from Thailand🇹🇭. I have some Thai song that I love to see you react to when you have time🥺. It’s Dong by Bear Knuckle and วาดไว้(Recall) by BOWKYLION.
The Moody blue have so many amazing songs. One of my favorites is The other side of life. I really hope you react to more songs from them 😊
Their best show ever was at the Isle of Wight in 1970. Check it out, you won't be dissapointed.
Please do the entire album, in sequence, and you'll really appreciate how phenomenal it (and they as a band) was.
Moody Blues was my favorite band when I was in high school. I have seen them live twice. Please review other songs.
The album this is from is called Days of Future Passed. Check out the entire thing. It tells a story from sunrise to nightfall.
I was going to guess 1968 and it looks like that was it. I remember listening to this over and over watching it snow 5 feet one Winter night of '69 in New Hampshire.
yes ,check out the live version, and they have a long version with a poem
This song was written as a song of unrequited love… The lady he fell madly in love with did not love him back, and this song was written out of those emotions.
The first time I heard this song was on 8 track!
Junior/Senior Prom theme from high school back in 1973 :)
You need to hear the long version of this with the poem that follows it.
I didn't know there was a different one, would be happy to 💯
ruclips.net/video/v3jJpGw_K2Y/видео.html&ab_channel=FARENH @@GOTGames
And the live version (Minus the Lament that is on the album) ruclips.net/video/89ZQnWvWcAE/видео.html&ab_channel=MysticPlugRecords
Oh man. Been a minute for this one. :)
I'm sorry, can't control my urge to say it.......... IS THAT A MOTHERF*CKING JOJO REFERENCE?!?!?
I was born in 1970 and I always took it like they were the knights in white satin…. Didnt learn about the meaning of the song until now lol.
Thanks for this. A flashback to my teens, the late 60s and 70s. You are correct in your ideas on this. They have a lot of good music. One of my favorite bands back then. Another one that's cool by them is "I know you're out there somewhere." While listening to this I realized there really aren't a lot of bands nowadays with this quality sound. 4th Impact just released their 1st, since moving to the US single and MV "Distorted." They say they found their sound and it is pretty good.
I only know their songs from the late 80's era...
But I know they been around the 60's and highly respected and part of the British invasion.
But yeah, I am going to Amazon and DL this...
They been disband for sometime now, especially with one of their dude die. In a way, like Beastie Boys.. once one guy gone, the band call it quits.
When I was a kid my uncle made me and my brother a mix tape of oldies from his record collection, and this was one of the songs on it. Listen to this song brings on a wave of nostalgia because of that. I recommend listening to Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams” or Eddie Hodges’ “(Girls, Girls, Girls) Are Made To Love”.
This is an album band. They were known for putting out albums that have a beginning, middle & end. It’s well worth listening to the whole album for the full effect. Many bands in that era were into fantasy oriented songs, Led Zeppelin referenced Lord of The Rings in a lot of their songs. Queen got into it too.
I love the bass in this song. They have several great albums….Days of Future Past would be a good start. Great reaction. I still have my originals or their albums & still love them!
You should Check out The Live Version. They are Much older, But They are So Good, Like Fine Wine!🍷
All rock bands looked alike back in the day!
Check out Moody Blues Nights In White Satin Live at Royal Albert Hall . The latest version.
*Day 155* of recommending the *Beyblade openings* .
There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
Next listen to Tuesday Afternoon by them, it is from the same album and it likewise is very beautiful. As far as this some, it always struck me as a song about unrequited love.
This is the short version. There is a great live version from the early 2000s available on Tou Tube.
You must react to this song alive with orchestra. It's epic.
I would suggest For My Lady, live at Red Rock featuring the late Ray Thomas.. Also you missed the 2nd part Late Lament.
Be still my beating heart. No anime reaction? So happy for the music of my youth and teen years. The singer is still touring Luke, his voice is still the same. This group was amazing.
He's still touring? 🤯 would love to see him!
YOU SHOULD REACT TO THE MUCH BETTER ALBUM CUT OF THIS SONG WHICH IS ABOUT TWICE AS LONG AND HAS A POEM AT THE END.
Yes, that's the version he should download for his own repeated listening. Also, the Sonics are far superior on that album version as well. 🎧
Day 6 of recommending to watch Edens Zero openings (or at least the full version of "Never Say Never" because this song is a living masterpiece and deserves an award).
I read Moody blues and I thought it was going to be a JoJo reaction 🤭
Just letting you know i also JJBA fans. That's about it.
Please play the 2018 live version, you will enjoy it. Thanks so much😊
Another good group to react to Styx. Also Foreigner is pretty good.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
*Day 85* of requesting a reaction to the following openings:
*Chivalry of a Failed Knight* op
*Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress* op
*Kiznaiver* op
You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
written in 1967, timeless
I haven't seen your reaction to MORE or ARSON by J Hope. ...given you like metal I have noticed a lot of heavy rock and metal heads liking J Hopes( BTS) Jack In The Box especially his sold out( over 100,000 ) Lollapalooza main stage concert.
Please try the live version of Deep Resonance from Guilty Kiss. Subgroup of Aqours from the anime, LoveLive. I was listening to it today for the first time and you immediately popped into my head. I had to recommend it.
If you liked the sound of this song, I think you'd also like Tuesday Afternoon adother of their hits.
reign of the seven spellblades op!!
You should really see the live version. I love this one but the live one will take you away
Please react to Mumei new M/V , its her lore if you wanna know about her more. Theres also "Hajimete no chuu" cover of Mumei with Fuwamoco , warning tho they're so sweet you might get diabetes.
If you haven't heard of The BeeGees, which you probably have, you should check them out...........
Hallo G react please konser luar biasa lesti bangbung hideung..indonesia tradisional songs etnic sunda west java..thank's!
The original intro was about 3minutes long.
It is a lament!!!
Girlfriend broke off relationship, lamenting that while embarking in a new relationship at the same time.
You really need to look into your English heritage.......
ie the English underground music that became prominent with start of the Beatles...
Day 33 of requesting reaction touhou tale of the unfilial human, memories of phantasm and internet survivor
you're doing yourself a disservice by not listening to the whole album, Days Of Future Passed, seriously
Do your research
You must see them on live.versions. Same with ELO and ELP. This music calibre will never repeat . This is why im so damn picky with todays music. Garbage mostly, my opinion from qhat i grew up listening to. More please. Less Anime...
first again
The video is silly. Has nothing to do with the music. I always pictured around the time of Maid Marian Robin Hood times
Live version is superior.
No.
I have been transported to my bedroom 50 years ago,, headphones on, high, listening to this. Nice
