OK. How many people grew up listening to this on the radio, not getting the album or seeing it in print and thinking for a long time that it was "Knights in White Satin"?
i think a lot of us thought of "Knights in white satin," because for some reason that title has more mystique, than the more obvious "Nights... Nonetheless, a beautiful (a bit redundant, but compelling) song accompanied by music which contributes the mystique.

@grouping I thought of a Knight killed in combat and was being laid to rest clothed in white satin... tearful lover, kids present at the funeral, whatever. We (males) may have thought that way because of the war which was very near the forefront of MY thoughts. Back then, you went one of three places, college, Vietnam, or Canada.

@grouping Actually, it does represet "Kinights in White Satin". or at least the cover artist thought it had that double-meaning. Most poetry does. Its called metaphor. If you look at the cover for Days of Future Past in the upper left-hand corner is a picture of a knight charging with a lance on a horse.

As a child, this was a very powerful image. As I heard this song, I never knew the "Nights in White Satin" romantic analogy. But the white knights never reaching the end is a perfectly complete poetic and meaningful meaning to the song. And I would bet Hayward and Pinder knew that. After all, according to the cover artist they carefully approved and chose the imagery for all their early album covers. They put the Knight in there for a reason....

@grouping I always knew it was "Nights," when perhaps I should have thought "Knights."
