The Moody Blues: Nights in White Satin Meaning
Song Released: 1967
Nights in White Satin Lyrics
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 anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love...
-
"gazing at people, some hand in hand"
Seeing openly straight couples in public?
"just what I'm going through, they can't understand"
in a gay relationship?
"Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend"
incoherent homophobia or traditionalism?
"Just what you want to be will be in the end"
eventual liberation?
(love the MB, btw, just my take) -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

a old song that I always loved in a old soul that is in love in loving and getting older towards the yearning to get back to the beauty of its youth in the space travel of time that seems never to reach its end, but only to recycle its energy in the New mother on this earth.

So I guess what we're all saying is that no one really knows the actual interpretation of this great song? ;)

Don't attach too much meaning to the lyrics of Knights in White Satin. It was part of a concept album that the Moody Blues wrote and they needed a final piece for night time. In an interview a band member stated that they were in a hotel room that had satin sheets. He said that once they started the song took less time to write than it takes to perform.

Knights (nights) in White Satin is sad. I can remember going thru exactly what he is singing about. I think we all wrote letters to a soon to be lost romance without any intentions of sending them, it made me feel better to put it on paper. A new love has entered his life and it sounded to me like a rebound romance. Those can be real but they never last (Obviously his did)

"Does anyone remember which one?"
Yup, Halloween II. -
A charming memory of a cherished romantic sexual encounter. Night is white satin refers to the white satin bed sheets the lovers were lying in together.
