Live Tonight
Basto! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can work, you can fight, you can crawl
Just to find you've got nothing at all
Don't let go, don't give up on yourself
You should know, you're like nobody else

Live tonight! [repeat]




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Basto!'s "Live Tonight" are an anthem for anyone who has worked hard, fought tooth and nail, and crawled through life, only to realize that they have nothing to show for it. The song's message is one of hope, urging listeners not to give up on themselves and reminding them that they are unique and special.


The first verse sets the stage for the song's theme of perseverance. We are told that we can work hard, fight for what we want, and even crawl on our hands and knees – but in the end, we may still find ourselves with nothing to show for our efforts. It's a sobering message, but one that many people can relate to. However, the chorus offers a ray of light in the darkness. We are urged to "Live tonight!" – to seize the moment and enjoy life, even in the face of disappointment and hardship.


Overall, "Live Tonight" is a powerful song that offers a glimmer of hope to anyone who feels like they're constantly struggling. Its message is simple but profound: no matter how hard things may seem, we should never give up on ourselves.

Great few summers and summers ahead of me, with Basto's tunes.
Miss these old times really....
P.S. Still can't believe he's turning 50 next year, now he's a true pioneer of the electronic music

Beyond the girls and the video itself, I think that this is one of the most beatiful release by Spinnin'. At the time, I listened to this song every single day (multiple times, actually). Nowadays, I'm still in love with this, so, kudos for Basto.
