プログレ・ロック、ムーディーブルース１９６７年のアルバム最後の曲が「サテンの夜 Nights In White Satin」 当時はロックとクラシックとの融合と言われていた。 アルバム全体を通して夜明け～夜のコンセプトになっている。 「サテンの夜」曲の後半には詩の朗読があり、神秘的で格調高い雰囲気を醸し出している。
The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin
（以下拙いですが和訳してみました）
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 through, they can't 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
（Epilogue, spoken） Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsetter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy'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 colors from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion
