"Go now" was in 1965 de eerste hit voor The Moody Blues in de Top 40. De groep onderging in 1967 een wijziging in de samenstelling: Denny Laine en Clint Warwick werden in 1967 vervangen door John Lodge en Justin Hayward, waarmee ook de r&b van de groep plaatsmaakte voor klassieke invloeden. Days Of Future Passed leverde een gigantische hit op: "Nights in White Satin". De opvolger, "Tuesday Afternoon", werd in Nederland geen hit, maar wel in veel andere Europese landen. Nights In White Satin wordt in brede kring beschouwd als de meest geslaagde poging een stuk op te nemen waarin pop en klassiek gecombineerd zijn. Opvallend is dat "Nights in white satin" in Engeland niet verder kwam dan de 19e plaats als hoogste notering.

Songtekst

Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is I can't say any more
Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you

Gazing at people some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you'll be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you, oh
Oh how I love you

Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh I love you
Oh I love you

Breathe deep in the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless engery's spent

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
And we decide wich is right

And wich is an illusion?
