Nights In White Satin
by Moody Blues
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 anymore.
‘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 thru
They can understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
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 anymore.
‘Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
‘Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

I’ve always liked this song, but my favorite of The Moody Blues is “Your Wildest Dreams”.

I like that one too… Also like the one with the lyric, ‘Timoth Leary’s dead’…; -)

Just looked it up… ‘Legend or the Mind’ on the album, In Search of the Lost Chord…; -)

I have to say, not too impressed, but rarely does one like everything a group sings. While looking for Legend of a Mind, I ran across Tuesday Afternoon. Liked it way back when.

I still listen to Tuesday Afternoon; it’s in my travel playlist. As for Legend of a Mind, my fondness for that one goes back to my youthful wild side. I knew very well who Timothy Leary was back then, even experimented with it a bit myself. When I lived for a few weeks in the New York commune, one of commune mates called himself ‘Captain Trips’ and claimed to be a personal friend of Dr. Leary…; -)

I was a wild-child, but though I drank more than my share of booze, never experimented with other drugs, even weed. Can’t say why…🤷♀️
I knew a Captain Trips too. “It” was the name of a man-made disease that escaped from a government lab and killed about 99.9 % (or more) of the world’s population in Stephen King’s magnum opus, The Stand.

During my wild youth, in almost every commune or counterculture group that I knew about, there was inevitably a ‘captin trips’… Of course, they were never the same person…
I’m not much of a fan of King. He’s done a couple of things I thought were pretty good, but overall, his work doesn’t speak much to me… most of what I’ve seen from him is a little too macabre for my tastes…; -)

His earlier work was more macabre than later on. Over a period of years, he wrote a series of books known as The Dark Tower starting with “The Gunslinger” that were set on an alternate Earth that was dying…more in the fantasy genre. I’ve read most of his books and he gradually toned down, more suspense than horror. I don’t know if you’ve seen the movies based on two of his novellas, The Shawshank Redemption and The Body, but both are excellent. Nothing weird in either. I consider him one of the masters of bringing characters to life.

I did see Shawshank; it was ok, but didn’t really resonate with me. The Dark Tower sounds familiar. I may have read a couple of those a few years back. I also read most of the Alex Delaware novels you recommended to me a couple of years ago, when we first started commenting on each other’s posts…; -)
