With a cult following, McCluskey is remembered for a car promotion: her voice is heard on Télépopmusik's song "Breathe" in a Mitsubishi ad.
The former lead singer of Wild Colonials released her debut solo CD, The Things We Do, in 2004. Recorded in only a few days in New York and Sweden, the album showcases McCluskey's extraordinary, raw vocals.
In 2009, McCluskey released her second solo album, You Could Start a Fight in an Empty House, including the track "Handle with Grace" (featuring Télépopmusik).
This Night
Angela McCluskey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moon gives shelter from the rain
It's not the only night
It's not no final ending
See your majesty
Is falling from his shining grace
You're just coming home
This life, this holy life
We take our beatings from the rainbow, the rainbow
And god's not cutting back
She still can shield us from the pain
Feel that you've gone astray
The righteous on a one way trail
One that leads you here
Feel like I want to stay
And make you understand me
Oh, 'cause fear doesn't live around here
I'm disappearing, could we dream much longer?
Fear doesn't live 'round here
Fear doesn't live
Fear, fear
Fear doesn't live 'round here
I'm disappearing
Fear
The song "This Night" by Angela McCluskey is a melancholic anthem that speaks to feelings of loss and uncertainty. The first verse sets the tone, describing a static night with shelter from the rain provided by the moon. The night isn't necessarily special or the last of its kind, but something about it feels significant. The second line of the verse suggests that there is more than one night like this, hinting at a broader pattern of events in the singer's life.
In the pre-chorus, the focus turns to royalty, specifically the fall of a king from "his shining grace." This imagery suggests that someone who was once revered or powerful has lost their status. The chorus follows, with the repetition of the phrase "fear doesn't live 'round here" providing a mantra-like quality to the song. Despite the difficult circumstances, the singer wants to stay and make the addressee understand that everything will be okay.
Line by Line Meaning
This night, this static night
The evening is calm and unchanging
The moon gives shelter from the rain
The moon serves as a protective haven from the rain
It's not the only night
There will be more occasions like this
It's not no final ending
This is not the ultimate conclusion
See your majesty
Notice the regal and commanding presence
Is falling from his shining grace
Is losing status and prestige
You're just coming home
You have just arrived back at your residence
This life, this holy life
Our existence is sacred and divine
We take our beatings from the rainbow, the rainbow
We experience hardships amidst moments of brightness and beauty
And god's not cutting back
The deity is not diminishing in power or strength
She still can shield us from the pain
She can still protect us from hurting
Feel that you've gone astray
Sense that you have deviated from the path
The righteous on a one way trail
The virtuous traveling along a singular path
One that leads you here
A path that results in arriving at this destination
Feel like I want to stay
Sense a desire to remain in the present moment
And make you understand me
And help you comprehend my perspective
Oh, 'cause fear doesn't live around here
Oh, because there is no apprehension or terror present in this area
I'm disappearing, could we dream much longer?
I am vanishing, can we prolong this reverie?
Fear doesn't live 'round here
Anxiety is not present nearby
Fear doesn't live
There is no reason for apprehension
Fear, fear
Anxiety
Fear doesn't live 'round here
Dread is not present in the area
I'm disappearing
I am gradually fading away
Fear
Anxiety
