When the Night Falls
CHROMEO ft SOLANGE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still
I'm searching for a good time
In a city where there's nobody else around
And I know it's been a little while
Now we've had our share of ups and downs
In the years I came through your town
But let's put it all to rest
And just have a night of one on one
When the conversation has begun
Put your head on my chest
There's something about you, girl
And it's rather strange
I wanna come back to you, girl
And make another flame
When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still
Well you probably think I'm a fast-talking romantic
With a highfalutin' ways
But it's all about the impression you made
On the first time I met you
That stayed with me for days
And now I want that feeling back
But I'm not sure where to get it
But you have the answer to that
And you say it's nothing but fun and games
But over the phone it's not the same
So let's try to cross paths
There's something about you, girl
And it's rather strange
I wanna come back to you, girl
And make another flame
When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah
When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers
Hope that she remembers you still
The lyrics to "When The Night Falls" by Chromeo featuring Solange are about a man who is searching for a good time in a city with nobody else around. He calls up a girl whose number is the only one he found and hopes that she remembers him. He reflects on the ups and downs they have had in previous years, but wants to put it all to rest and have a night of one-on-one conversation with her, with her head resting on his chest. The man feels that there is something about the girl that is rather strange and he wants to come back to her to make another flame. Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the message that when the night falls, you can tell by the way you feel and it is important to make the right calls and just hope that the woman he is pursuing remembers him.
This song is very much about the pursuit of love and connection, with the lyrics conveying a sense of longing and desire.

The lyrics are set to a catchy pop beat that is both upbeat and romantic, and the combination of Chromeo's smooth vocals and Solange's soulful backing make for a truly memorable and enjoyable listening experience.

When the night falls, oh yeah
As darkness descends, you can sense it in your soul
You can tell by the way that you feel
You know it in your bones, it's palpable
Make the right calls, oh yeah
Make the necessary moves to get the night you want
And just hope that she remembers you still
Hold out hope that she hasn't forgotten you
I'm searching for a good time
Seeking some pleasure and enjoyment
In a city where there's nobody else around
In a town where you're alone, wanting companionship
And I know it's been a little while
It's been a bit since we talked or saw each other
But your number is the only one I found
You're the only one who sticks in my mind
Now we've had our share of ups and downs
We've been through good times and bad
In the years I came through your town
As I passed by your city over time
But let's put it all to rest
Let's leave it behind us and start anew
And just have a night of one on one
Spend some time together, one-on-one
When the conversation has begun
Once we've started talking
Put your head on my chest
Lean against me, feel my heartbeat
There's something about you, girl
You have a certain quality that draws me in
And it's rather strange
It's unusual, but I'm drawn to you nonetheless
I wanna come back to you, girl
I want to rekindle what we once had
And make another flame
Create a new spark between us
Well you probably think I'm a fast-talking romantic
You might see me as someone who's too smooth or charming
With a highfalutin' ways
With a pretentious or extravagant manner
But it's all about the impression you made
It's your impact on me that's important
On the first time I met you
When we first crossed paths
That stayed with me for days
It lingered in my thoughts for a while after
And now I want that feeling back
I want to experience that sensation again
But I'm not sure where to get it
I'm unsure of how to recapture that moment
But you have the answer to that
You hold the key to rekindling our connection
And you say it's nothing but fun and games
You take it lightly, as if it's trivial
But over the phone it's not the same
It's difficult to convey true feeling over a call
So let's try to cross paths
Let's meet up in person and see where it goes
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Vocalization, no clear meaning
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah
Vocalization, no clear meaning
And just hope that she remembers
Wishing that you're still on her mind
Hope that she remembers you still
Wishing she hasn't forgotten about you

I think it's kind of amazing how they have three minutes and twenty seconds of insanity that then turns into a coherent story at the end, with a really touching message and a happy ending. Props not only to Chromeo, but to whoever came up with the idea. Well done!
@EdBoonSucks
Yeah, and the 'touching message' was; "If you get multiple girls pregnant, have your wingman raise them."
@IlyaSpektor
Credit goes to Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert - they direct a lot of insanely creative videos, like Turn Down For What by DJ Snake
@jameswest360
They just won best directors, best movie, screenplay, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress for their movie

If your kids ever tell you how babies are made, tell them it's all because of Chromeo
@charlesbrooks772
This music takes me back to the 80's. It even sounds like they are using the drum machines and synthesizers that were used on a lot of the dance tracks in the 80's. A good mixture of funk, r&b, and pop. This is some good stuff!!
@youngangel3926
Yup
@Nico93106
They're using them i guess. Watch the video they made for future music magazine, you'll have a glimpse of their studio, it is fill with vintage gears.
@louisjames1062
They use only 80s gear, watch their studio videos, even the pc is pentium 2. It's all made by them on 80s gear. Band are hugely underrated
