Cover. Classic song by the Moody Blues released in 1967 and written by Justin Hayward. He got the idea for it after someone gave him a set of white satin sheets.

Beatles and British rock influences. Also, R&B / Soul flavors. See some pictures from the sixties of my band The Torquays at: http://picasaweb.google.com/o
Influenced by the British invasion and the late sixties R&R sound, I record in my home studio. My site has a mixture of original and cover tunes.

Story behind the song
The Moody Blues recorded this with The London Festival Orchestra (Which never actually existed. It is the name given to the musicians put together to make this album.) The original idea was for the group and orchestra to record a Rock version of Dvorak's "New World Symphony," which their record company would use to demonstrate enhanced stereo sound technology.
Lyrics
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 can not 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've 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 oh how ooh 'Cause I love you yes I love you oh how I love you oh how ooh

Really nice to hear a cover version of this awesome song (like most Moody Blues' songs are). Sorry, but I can only give full points for the original elements of this piece although you reproduce the rest very well!
