Young Sir. It seems so quickly I find I'm an old man. It touches my heart to see your reactions to key moments of many of our life experiences. I'm glad you seem to like most of the videos I've watched you react to so far, but I'm truly happy you appreciate the craft and the intended poetic messages. Thank you for being open to embracing the past!!

Good memories , hair down my back, swaying in a crowd, looking forward to my future, and all of a second I'm 70 years old......

Back when magic was made with real instruments and real voices. That's talent!

And lets not forget that Justin Hayward was a teenager when he wrote this classic. A special talent indeed.

This music was written and performed before "video" was ever contemplated. They relied on the listener to close their eyes and let the music paint the images and pictures, instead of some directors imagined interpretation. I can remember when this album was first released. We sat in the attic of our house, which was easily accessible with a staircase and was almost another livable space in the house. Turning on the black lights which made posters glow, and putting this record on the player. No one said a word. We just sat back and listened, and let the music and our imaginations take us on a trip.

The record label didn't want to do the album because they felt, "you can't dance to it". The lead singer replied, "but you can make love to it." Then suddenly they had a record deal.

The pleasure watching a young person validating the music of my generation is incredible. It proves it wasnt just our music but the music for our children, and their children too. Timeless.

The emotion in the song is off the charts. It moves something inside of me every time I hear it.

They will be playing this song a hundred years from now.

It is actually a joy to see Jamal discover this music. He’s a true music lover and nice to see him engage so much with the lyrics.

This is me and my wife's song. 2 February 2021 will make 43 years as a couple. We've seen the Moodies about 6 times together.

This was one of my Mom's favorite songs. Trying not to cry, I really miss her.

The most haunting love song of all time .

"Just what the truth is, I can't say any more. "2020 hurts in so many ways.

This song was one of the biggest ballads of the psychedelic rock era.

In college I used to listen to this and fall asleep at night . Nothing has ever clmed me ever since like this . There is a special place in Heaven for the Moody Blues

I worked a Moody Blues show back in Raleigh in the late 90's, they had an actual orchestra with them. When this song started, the entire staff stopped where they all were & just listened. It seemed like the entire world stopped just for this song. The orchestra brought this song in particular to an entirely different level altogether. Absolutely breathtaking.

You would love “Tuesday Afternoon”; a must hear! Moody Blues did not get the accolades they deserved.

I first heard this on a transistor radio in 1968. I was only 10, but this song set me on a rock journey that lasts to this day.

This song makes me super emotional I can't get through this song without shedding tears!

The singer Justin Hayward was *20 years old* when he recorded that. SO MUCH SOUL for his age.

This group was a force over many decades. Justice was finaly served when they were inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame in 2018 after being eligible since 1990!

Hits you in the feels, doesn't it? Definitely a song that needs to be heard in one's lifetime~

Right now, my curtains are closed, the lights are off and I'm 18 years old when I heard this song for the first time on a darkened street and I'm on my way home from my fast food joint job. I had to stop nd listen to this. I have the album, and it is one you have to listen to and drift away with....

I admit I was nervous when I saw you were doing this. You responded just the way you should . To many of us this song is an emotional and spiritual trip. So glad you took it.

Such a smart guy. Don't watch, just close your eyes and listen.

It's called "mood music". Bsck in the day when a group of friends, and maybe even a couple of strangers, could come together just for an evening of wine, music and some pleasant conversation. Memories....ty.

You can’t live your life without hearing this song.

You know Jamel i just thought of how jealous i am of you!!! Im sitting here watching you trully enjoy a lot of songs for the very first time. I can only imagine i had the same feeling and look that you have for these songs 45 years ago!!! Trully enjoy the journey Brother!!!

Just a quick tidbit, each member of the Moody Blues has a formal Masters Degree in music.

I would suggest more Moody Blues, but dear Lord, there are so many masterpieces. One of the greatest groups ever and my first concert.

Justin was 19 years old when he wrote nights in white satin about one love affair ending and another beginning. A girlfriend gave him satin sheets.

This is such a great song. The Moody Blues were said to be 15 years ahead of their time. Over 50 years later and still think that they are ahead of their time. Have seen them perform this song live twice. At the Greek Theater and at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. #Fortunate

Justin Hayward wrote this song when he was 18. He was installed in the Songwriters Hall of Fame more than 30 years ago. He is one of the most successful, prolific and greatest songwriters of the 20th century.

This album came out during a time where you picked up a new favorite song off the radio so you went down to your local music store and bought vinyl, and took it home put it on the record player, and plopped on your bed and listened, first side a, then side b.

When you were high this album took you to another dimension. 😉

Moody blues is all about the listening...closing the eyes and taking it all in...

We called this "head music". You put on your stereo headphones, lay back, and tripped out on the music. No drugs needed. Good days.

Justin Haywards voice used to send me to sleep with dreams I didn't even know I could have ..my all time favourite song of his is Forever Autumn

My ABSOLUTE ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG! Born in 1960 and I cannot begin to say what power this song holds in my memories 💖💞💖

Beautiful, angelic vocals of Justin Hayward. Its amazing that someone could write such a beautiful, complex song at age 19.

First time I heard this song I was about 13, a poor poor girl in the mountains of Kentucky. I was listening to an old beat up radio and couldn't pick up anything on the FM side so I was listening to the AM and I heard only a few moments of it and was undoubtedly the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. That was back in the early 80s and it still moves me today.

This song evokes the somber aura of an autumn night, or winter. It so perfectly captures angst, regret, as well as a specific time/season for me that I can not hear it without being whisked to the dead of night on a chilly autumn evening, reflecting on a wasted past...it just defies space and time...or more precisely, pinpoints it forever to a specific spot and with a specific feeling

This was one of my dad's very favorite songs. The album (In Search of the Lost Chord) was frequently played on the stereo when I was growing up. It's very dramatic and deep ... a real listening experience. At the end of his life, when my dad was in hospice, he had this CD and portable CD player at his bedside. This song was playing the night before he passed. That's how much he loved it. It will always remind me of him. I think he would've appreciated your generous, thoughtful reaction. God bless you !!!

Headphones on, eyes closed. That's how we listened to it.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.....

There’s nothing like professional musicians. An Orchestra is so beautiful

Can you imagine we used to hear this whole song on the radio? STILL gives me chills

How magical it would be to able to discover a masterpiece like this. Where is it to be found in today's music?

Justin Hayward has such a lovely voice, yes, just sit back, close you eyes and appreciative the quality of his singing.

I’m glad that the music of our past last forever. And is well appreciated for our next generations to come.

I saw them in concert twice in the early 1970's ~~ amazing shows! Coming of age in the 1960/70's we were gifted with some of the best music ever! Experiencing this song in , shall we say, an altered state , was unreal!

As a kid in the 70s this song would frequently come on the car radio. I remember feeling deep sorrow when I’d hear it, as just a little boy.

The poem being read at the end was their drummer, Graeme Edge. He would read that standing at a microphone then go to the drum kit and perform. The Moody Blues were one of the first 'rock' bands to have concept albums. 'In Search of the Lost Chord", 'Every Good Boy Deserves Favour', etc. 20 years ago they went on tour and they would travel as just their band but would send the sheet music ahead to the next venues. The local orchestra there would learn the songs and play with the Moodys on stage. I got a chance to ask the lead singer Justin Hayward once if they were still nervous when they got up on stage to play. He replied that performing on stage with an orchestra they had never hit a note with was one of the most nerve wracking things they had ever done. Check out the album 'Moody Blues, Red Rock' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNJyja160c6XmWQ.html They are one of my favorite bands, and I hope they become one of yours.

You don’t just listen to The Moody Blues; you experience The Moody Blues. So beautiful. Thank you!

This and many other Moody Blues songs were meant for you to just let your mind go where the music takes you. I was in 8th grade when this song came out and remember lying on my bed with headphones on and closing my eyes as soon as their songs started playing on the record.

The whole album, Days of Future Passed, is amazing.

One of the. Most beautiful songs ever written. 🎵

The most beautiful song in the world. There’s a live version where they’re all a bit older and it’s absolute heaven ❤️

The Amazing thing about them they could repeat this sound live in concert.

Justin Hayward was 19 years old when he wrote it completely true artists

This was truly a masterpiece of musical genius, and all the music I've heard again on your channel brings back so many masterpieces and musical gems that simply aren't found in todays musical experience. Close your eyes and just listen in order to understand what it was like growing up in the 60-70's era.

Days of future past, listen to the whole album

Getting Stoned and listening to this was an awakening back in 1969!!!

If you liked this you would also like The Hollies. ‘The Air That I Breathe’.

Hard to believe, I was a junior in highschool. Seems so long ago. Im 64 now. But these musicians are even older.

Educting yourself with all these classics.Good for you,Jamal.

You NEED to listen to the whole album, it is cinema for the ears!

You need to buy the album “Days of Future Past” and listen from beginning to end. Best heard in a dark room and just let your mind wander to the lyrics!

I always loved The Moody Blues. I saw them 5 times over the years. The 4th time was with The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. That was the best !

Without a doubt, this is the best slow dance song ever. So much of the vibe you would get would be from the memories of where you were and who you were with. You would remember the smell of her hair, the softness of her skin, and so much more that you would take with you for decades to follow.

I was 12 years old when I first heard this amazing song, leaving lasting impression for the rest of my life

it still makes me tear up- it is just so profoundly human...we can all relate to that powerful stirring of emotion

Jamel aka Jamal - absolutely AMAZING to hear your reaction to this classic. Truly great music stands the test of time.

There were no videos in the 70s. Music was a listening experience and the visual was what you created it to be in your mind. That is why the music was so incredible and the guitar and drum solos spectacular.

Your the reason I’m remembering music, that I can’t believe I’ve forgotten about. Thx 🤝

I was super lucky in the 80s for my mom to take me to see the Moody Blues. They had a full orchestra behind them, and this song was mindblowing with a full orchestra. I love this song so much.

This was my fathers favourite song and when he passed away 5,5 years ago it was the first song we played at his funeral...this song always reach my heart every time and i see my dad❤

Jamel, keep this music alive

It's called talent man, now you know why we think todays music is less than music!

I never really liked this song until one night, a few years ago, I was on a long car ride, completely exhausted. It came on the radio (satellite radio, so they played the whole song) and I just decided to let it play because I liked the station (classic vinyl). For some reason, it took me on a journey I completely didn't expect. I felt calm. I felt at peace like nothing was wrong with the world at that time. It was like a hallucination, but I wasn't hallucinating. I was just completely enthralled and in the moment, floating through a dark night alone on the highway in pure bliss. Been one of my favorite songs of all time since then. It's amazing how a person's opinion can change based on the time and place and mood they're in when they hear something. It's like hearing it for the first time. Makes me cry every time.

I went to France with my high school and when we were walking around Paris this song was playing in a shoe store. It was just before they were closing for the night... streets were quiet and all you could hear was this song. Every time I hear it I'm immediately taken back to that shoe store.

Just Listen !! Thats All..💕💕💕🎼🎵🎶✌🙏😉

still such a beautiful song . it would be a hit in every decade. always takes me on a trip, sitting in a car watching through the window and listening to the song . for me its not important what video it is, i feel it

The beauty of this song is that it means something different to everyone that listens to it!

The Moody Blues. Music not just heard, but more importantly, felt!

We all latched onto the Day's of Future Passed album when it came out in 67, especially Nights In White Satin. Perfect song for a bunch of high school kids to get high to. Oh the memories.

This song is so haunting. I loved it when I was a kid, but it always haunted me.

You had it round the wrong way - Michael Jackson was sounding like The Moody Blues. The Moodies invented the concept album, they were the first rock band to write for the orchestra. Pop songs had always had sound engineers who layered-in orchestral backing, but that was backing. The Moodies treated the orchestra as an essential component of music from first conception, and their relationship with the London Symphony Orchestra has been a long and fruitful one. It was the Moody Blues who inspired the Beatles to create concept albums and use their producer to arrange orchestral experiments, but they themselves were not writing for the orchestra themselves. The Moodies have been one of the most underrated bands ever. Their work can be sublime. Nights In White Satin is one of those.

We sang, cried, danced and made babies to the music of the Moody Blues playing throughout our lives. Each album was an entire journey and very progressive for the time. It was great to see this again and thank you for your great reaction.

Adore this song ..live version even better ..incredible moody blues .

ProcolHarum = Whiter shade of pale Edit: it’s a real pleasure to listen along with you

This song can definitely draw you into a different world.

Saw them in concert an experience I'll never forget. Thank you for reviewing this beautiful and haunting song.

My older sisters listened to them, and I fell in love. They put on the best concert ever. They sounded just like this! Was an amazing night I'll never forget.

Love your reaction to the ending... yeah. How that album was recorded is a story by itself. They walked into a studio to record and found it already booked by a full orchestra. Guess what happened. The best thing since chocolate and peanut butter.

Literally my favorite band of all time. I’m 26 and have seen them almost a dozen times. Justin Hayward is one of the most amazing songwriters of all time in my eyes.

Saw the Moody Blues in concert back in the '90s and it was great, my girl and I loved this song and sang it to each other.

Perhaps my favorite of all time. When this piece of music ends you know you've been somewhere never seen before and it's someplace you'll never forget. Good to see the younger folks enjoying the experience.

Nice! Another great Moody Blues song is "Tuesday Afternoon"
