The Nights In White Satin

The Nights In White Satin

My new M. O. M. (Moment of Meaning)

I was a senior in high school when I first heard this song by the Moody Blues.  I was mesmerized!  It was so intense, enchanting and complex all at the same time.  I would stay up late listening to this song and all of the songs on the 2 album set: This Is The Moody Blues (a greatest hits type of album) from my bedroom 25 stories up overlooking downtown Tulsa.  I was a bit melancholy at the time and was dreaming of what my my future might hold.

Justin Heyward wrote and sings the song.  It was released in 1967.  I was and am moved by his pleading vocal with every line provoking deep meaning to me.  My M. O. M. is the entire production and at :18 seconds into this clip right after the flute comes in you hear the deep bass line of John Lodge.  And then the poem at the end... Everyone had to memorize this poem!!  OMG what does it all mean????

Breath Deep and enjoy...
