Song - "Nights in White Satin"
Group - The Moody Blues
Year - 1967
Album - Days of Future Passed
Band member Justin Hayward wrote the song at age nineteen, and titled the song after a friend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward. The London Festival Orchestra (not a professional orchestra at all, but composed of well-regarded studio musicians) provided the musical accompaniment heard throughout, and which reached its climax before and after the song itself and the spoken-word poem. The band and orchestra makes use of the Mellotron keyboard device, which would come to define the "Moody Blues sound". The song is also known for its ridiculously simple drumming.
