"BONNIE is a uruguayan band, born in march 2007, when a group of old friends got together just to make good music. We started playing classic rock covers in private parties and different clubs, while working on some creations of our own. Seeing that people are taking interest in our music, we started to work hard to make more and better songs."
The band tries to make the first album over Sellaband.

Blackness of the Night
Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I seem to wander endlessly
With a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
From the heels of an old soldier boy
There's no compromising and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world he is going to die
He's alone and there is no one by his side
In the blackness of the night
I see the sparkle of a star
From the sweet silver tear of a child
And she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parents were happy, she was too young to know
She's alone and there is no one by her side
In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
With a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone, and there is no one by my side
The lyrics of Bonnie "Prince" Billy/Bill Callahan's song Blackness of the Night convey a sense of isolation, hopelessness, and despair. Within the dark of the night, the singer appears lost and wandering, while a sense of desolation and emptiness pervades the atmosphere around him. The symbolism of the "blackness" connotes a sense of emptiness and a lack of direction, while the images of the "old soldier boy," the "sweet silver tear of a child," and the singer himself, all alone, allude to states of abandonment, both in the literal sense and as a metaphor for emotional distress. The song speaks to the human condition of loneliness and the search for meaning, as well as to the pervasive sense of uncertainty that can come with living in a complicated and often nonsensical world.
Line by Line Meaning
In the blackness of the night
The singer is alone in the dark
I seem to wander endlessly
The singer has no clear direction or purpose
With a hope burning out deep inside
The singer is losing faith in something they previously held dear
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
The artist is ostracized and feels like an outcast
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
The artist is losing faith in the world as a whole
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
The singer is truly alone and without support
I see a shadow passing by
The singer observes a passing figure
From the heels of an old soldier boy
The figure is a former soldier
There's no compromising and his eyes are black as the sky
The former soldier is uncompromising and seems to hold a dark outlook on life
For this bad, bad world he is going to die
The soldier is resigned to a potentially negative fate
He's alone and there is no one by his side
The soldier is also alone
I see the sparkle of a star
The artist notices something small and beautiful
From the sweet silver tear of a child
The beautiful thing is a tear from a child's eye
And she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
The child is holding onto a memory from the past
When her parents were happy, she was too young to know
The memory is from a time when the child was too young to understand happiness
She's alone and there is no one by her side
The child is also alone

My god, am I dreaming or two of my favorites songwriters just recorded a song together? It's beautiful. Thank you.

They released a 7" together in the early 90s.
