About The Song
“Nights in White Satin” is a timeless song by The Moody Blues, first released in 1967. It reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart and number 103 in the United States. The song was shaped into a sumptuous epic by producer Tony Clarke and arranger/conductor Peter Knight, forming the centerpiece of the Moodies’ album “Days Of Future Passed”.
The lyrics reflect on love and longing, with lines like “Nights in white satin, never reaching the end, Letters I’ve written, never meaning to send”. The song’s orchestration makes full use of the Mellotron’s ability to simulate an orchestra, creating a rich and immersive listening experience.
