Sunday Classics 04.27.2025
Hey GrayViners!
Another Sunday, another chance to celebrate the songs that never get old. You all brought the heat last week with some top-notch picks, but one tune rose above the rest—and it’s a beauty.
This week’s Sunday Classics winner is: “Nights in White Satin” by The Moody Blues! Cue the strings, dim the lights, and let that haunting melody take over.

Originally released in 1967, this song wasn’t an instant hit—but like many great things, it found its audience over time. Written by Justin Hayward when he was just 19, "Nights in White Satin” was inspired by a gift of satin sheets (no joke).
The song’s sweeping orchestration and spoken-word interlude gave it a unique, emotional feel that stood out in the psychedelic era—and it’s still turning heads decades later. It finally cracked the Top 10 in the US five years after its original release, proving that great music always finds its moment.
Got a classic track you think deserves the spotlight next week? Drop your suggestion in the comments below!
The song with the most reactions will take the title and be featured in next Sunday’s newsletter.
Let’s hear what you’ve got—nostalgia is welcome, goosebumps guaranteed.
Cheers!
Blue
