[kloudzjia]

justin s signature is depth and sensitivity. this song is so beautiful it hurts.he s so classy...

[xeuropn]

Bought the cassette in a music store in Huntsville, AL back in 1978. Listened to it all of the way back to Atlanta. And listened to it again, and again. What a secret. Justin Hayward just for me. It was a lonely time back then.

[nevadacolt]

I can remember listening to this while driving across the Utah desert on my way home from a failed love affair. Many years ago. It is as QuestionOfBalance says, so painfully beautiful.

[Shawnne01]

I had almost forgotten about this song! Haven't listened to it in years! Yes, it's beautiful and soulful!  Justin is still going strong!

[mickycrocket]

The one and only!

[bluegin24]

Perfect. Thanks for this.

[davidjohnalpha]

a brilliant song indeed - is he using open tuning again? - he's a master at this technique and an inspiration to any quality musician ...

[threshold60]

Absolutely brilliant. Such an underated songwriter.

[moodybluesbaby67]

Goodness, his eyes at 3:18 are enough to take your breath away!

[cantcel]

Among the stars

[TheWallOfSound1990]

Anyone know what guitar he is playing?

It's got an awesome sound

[lorentzinvariant]

@TheWallOfSound1990

Justin Hayward is playing a hand-made James Olson guitar - these cost about $12,000.



[lorentzinvariant]

@lorentzinvariant

I just checked - they actually cost a little more - about $12,500.

[TheWallOfSound1990]

@lorentzinvariant cool, thanks

[animenutjobiscrazy]

@lorentzinvariant no wonder it sounds so good lol

[animenutjobiscrazy]

@lorentzinvariant well that and he's playing it, he really doesn't get enough credit for being a great guitarist sadly.

[justintime42000]

Achingly, hauntingly beautiful. Nobody takes ahold of your heart with their voice or songs like Justin does.

[nitramtenab]

dont you think this would go great in the war of the worlds stage show it would fit in so well with forever aultum its a great song we all been there left alone with one lonely chair and nobody there story of my life

[oakboughstudios]

By the way,thank u,thank u,all of you who still post,and listen 2 all things MOODY,the world needs more...mabey it's our turn? A new generation??Hmmmmmm......

[oakboughstudios]

Hey jinchengfan, I feel you,Moody fans can be reel snobs,but some actually get it...people take themselves way too serious.LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL!

[Jinchengfan]

I work in a psychiartric hospital, dealing with persons who have superiority complexes, who like to call persons names, who like to show their anger. WHY? Because they are mentally challenged. What is YOUR excuse? You don't like what I type, so yu call me a barking lunatic? We can find a bed for you in the hospital....and then, you can call me all the names you wish. And pay me to get that pleasure. Until then, keep your names to yourself.

[Jinchengfan]

Thank you to all the persons who wish to bad mouth me. Show your true class. Or the lack of it. I've probably already forgotten more about the Moody Blues than you know, so whatever you feel you need to say proves a point to me. IF you were a fan of the Moody Blues, you would NOT be calling people ANY SORT of names. THAT is NOT what they, or their music is, nor has it ever been, about.  SO....any comment you feel you need to make towards me, or to me, will not get my attention.

[jhmbfc]

I fell in love with him the minute I heard that angelic voice and I've been in love ever since. That was 32 years ago ...age 6....

[Jinchengfan]

I fell in love with this man when I was 11.

I'm about to fall in love again....

[jcamontflor]

what a wanderful genious. no comment .

[gamoodybluesfan]

i love this man! his voice has calmed my raging sea of life for many years. he speaks to each of our hearts, i believe! oh, to be a part of his world!

[justintime42000]

Will someone please post the studio recording from Songwriter on youtube? I love this version, but I love the original with the orchestra and electric guitar too!

[MOODYBLUES4EVER1]

WIILL DO!

[nitramtenab]

this is on deram label its bloody brilliant what a guitar player fantastic

[starfiremale]

I have the single somewhere. Have you got the electric version??

[imagine9384]

What fantastic lyrics. And you have made a great video. Thank you.

[sparklefrost]

Get lost you pathetic cretin and let us enjoy this beautiful song in peace.

[2br2br2]

Warning: Do not sentence yourself to hell.

If you don't understand this,the best start would be to listen to"Paul Washers-Shocking

Message(full length)"on youtube.

...it is all about "your future".

Either way...you will make a choice.

Pastors...ministers...evangeli­st...how heavy does your church dollar weigh in the balance?

Will you offend your congregation with the truth?

Warning: This will change your life!

Forever.

[imagine9384]

What a beautifully sad song. I think we have all felt this way at some time in love.

Even though Justin has lots to be happy about, I think he has something sad in his heart; makes you wonder.

[Scottmaster84]

Yes, absolutely! His solo stuff from the 70s/80s did not receive too much positive acclaim, but if you give it a few listens it reveals beautiful tunes like this!

[18ctdiamond]

Justin suffered a lot from lost love etc from a very young age. I knew him back then and he was hurt very badly. This still shows in his today. Some might have heard a bit about this--he has spoken a little bit about it.

[jhmbfc]

I want to know more about his lost loves? Please do enlighten me and the others with your knowledge?

[18ctdiamond]

Justin fell in love at very early

age with someone who went

on to give birth to his son who

was susequebtly adopted. He

never saw him. So sad

[Jinchengfan]

Was this when he was 16 and wrote Night in White Satin while living in that little one-room flat?

[18ctdiamond]

justin was 19 when he wrote nights

He was sharing the flat in Bayswater

with Moody Blues drummer

Graham Edge. This was just

after he met his future wife

Marie.

[18ctdiamond]

He was 19 when he wrote Nights and sharing a flat in Bayswater with the Moody Blues drummer Graeme Edge-just after he met his future wife Marie. He started his professional career proper when he joined rocker Marti Wilde and his wife in the Wilde 3 at the age of 17. He still plays the same Gibson guitar he bought himself at the age of 13l.

[Jinchengfan]

According to his website, in his own words, he bought the guitar when he was 17, on a train trip to London with his friends from the band The Whispers (Otherwise known as All Things Bright).

Sorry, you claim to know so much about him, I just had to put in somethingHE PERSONALLY said that shows you DON'T know everything. About Nights In White Satin...I saw a video where he said that, himself...that he was only 16, living in a dumpy one-room flat with no heat and leaky faucets. Sorry again.

[18ctdiamond]

. He has explained several

times that Nights was written after he met Marie. He met her when he was 19, not long after joining the Moodies. See the

video on you posted about This Is Your

Life for example. I don't claim to know

everything, but I do know for fact when he wrote Nights. I also think it is common

knowledge amongst most fans of the

band. The bands stage show used music

they later released on Days of Future Passed-which included Nights.

[18ctdiamond]

He met Marie at the age of 19. Graeme got drunk at a club called The Bag of Nails and Marie and her flatmate took him home to theirs to recouperate. Justin picked him up the next morning and the rest is history. Tyler Music owns the publication rights to Nights (Lonnie Donegan owned it and he signed Justin up at the age of 17, with the proviso that they retained publication rights on his next 3 years of music.) A signing he later regreted.

[Jinchengfan]

Did I say anything about when he BEGAN playing guitar? NO. Maybe if everyone would stop making I KNOW EVERYTHING remarks when someone else writes one, there would be no SO THERE (so you say, not I) attitude. I only told what I had read/heard, due to the fact I am a FAN...not a FANATIC. Big difference, check your local dictionary. Sorry, I don't know the man personally, like everyone else seems to think they do. I'm human and I have a life. Get over it. Shut up, drop it, go away.

[todayfaith]

Probebly cos he never got much time to see his wife & daughter while he traveled round the world, & still does, even though he's 63yrs old this year & been singing for most of his life.

[silverbirdsong]

He's an angel from Heaven.

[QuestionOfBalance]

This song is just so painfully beautiful.

[finbarfay]

I like this song a lot. I figured out how to play it [by ear] by transposing from guitar to my piano. It's one of my facorite Justin solo efforts. 'Nostradamus' is a close second. His "Songwriter' LP stands alone. Very ambitious. Very creative.

[andymanscar]

you should like make a video on how to play it, because I'm a bit of a piano player myself, I learned most of the song "Broken Dream" by him by ear, I love the melody the most

[Charliemta]

Justin's voice isn't what it used to be in the late 1960's/early 70's, but he's still good. He could've sung this one in a slightly lower key, and probably would have gotten a better sound.

Anyway, the Songwriter album is my favorite Justin Hayward solo album. Outstanding songs, and he sings them great on the original album.

[melissachristel]

ok everyone, i found this dvd finally!

Go to the official moodyblues website, and look under dvds. Its called A Evening with Justin Hayward, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, (or something close to that)

[moodyblue39]

Songwriter. Justin your a legend

[melissachristel]

I've been watching this every day!

[melissachristel]

It breaks my heart that I cannot own this and that it is about my life, and still the most beautiful thing.

[fairydustjohn]

It's beautiful. What else can I say?

[KoreyWGarvey]

loved it man great!

[candleoflife]

Justin, I was in an antique shop a number of years ago. I was purchasing some blue items and had them on the counter. This woman(spirit) approached me and said, "Ah, you're a "Blue Person." She knew...

[moodymouse]

I remember buying this album when it first came out. This was one of my favorites on the album. I am going to have to get this DVD. Question: Where is the black and white footage from?

[bluebunnyboy]

Ahhhhh. Didn't think that I'd ever hear (or see) this song ever again. I should have known better. Thanks.

[inwoodliver]

very nice!

[apeneckfletcher]

aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!thank you, thank you, thank you! love this song, and it's not even the best one on the album

[greenjello74]

Thanks for this.. It looks pretty recent, I also never ever thought I would see this performed. Awesome LP also.
