When the Night Feels My Song
Bedouin Soundclash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on the rocky hill
Heading down off the mountain slope
And as my steps echo, echo louder than before
Another day is done
Say goodbye to the setting sun
See what I found
Turn back to the ground
Just as before

Hey hey hey, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey, hey beautiful day

When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

Into the undergrowth
To stand out on a lonely road
In the twilight, the day turns to night
And I'm alone
And when the light has left
I'm not sure of my every step
Follow the wind, that pushes me west
Back to my bed

Hey hey hey, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey, hey beautiful day





When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

The second stanza takes the listener into the undergrowth, where the singer lingers on a lonely road. The approaching twilight indicates the end of the day and the coming of night. As the light fades, the singer is uncertain of where they stand but follows the wind westward, ultimately leading them back to their bed. The chorus returns, emphasizing the theme of finding home and security amidst transitions and changes.


Overall, "When the Night Feels My Song" is a song about journeying, about finding oneself in unfamiliar or uncertain situations.
