Days of Future Passed
Music albumAbout
Days of Future Passed is a landmark album by The Moody Blues, released in 1967. It is one of the first rock concept albums, exploring the theme of a day in the life through music. The album is a collaboration between The Moody Blues and the London Festival Orchestra, conducted by Peter Knight. It features poetic interludes and a mix of melancholy pop songs, such as "Dawn: Dawn Is a Feeling" and "Nights in White Satin," which are enhanced by orchestral arrangements[1][4][5]. The album's structure follows the passage of a day, from morning to night, using each song to capture the mood and emotions of different times. It was a groundbreaking work that helped establish The Moody Blues as pioneers in the progressive rock genre. Despite initial uncertainty and lack of interest in the U.S., the album eventually gained popularity, particularly with the success of "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon"[4][5].
