Night Fever
Dee Gees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is movement all around
There is something goin' down
I can feel it
On the waves of the air
There is dancin' out there
It's somethin' we can share
And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
Reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right
Oh the night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine
Oh the night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
In the heat of our love
Don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
I got fire in my mind
I get higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark
Give you warnin'
That sweet city woman
She moves through the night
Controlling my mind and my soul
Reach out for me and the feelin' is right
Oh the night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine
Oh the night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Livin' for every single night
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Oh the night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
The lyrics of "Night Fever" are essentially about the feeling of being caught up in the excitement, the movement, and the energy that is prevalent on the dance floor during a night out. The singer of the song is attuned to the rhythm of the beat that she can feel all around her, and she remarks that everyone else seems to be in the same groove too. The verse tells of how the music and the atmosphere on the dance floor connects everyone together into a shared, intense experience. As she looks around, the city woman stands out, moving through the light, almost controlling the minds and souls of those around her.
The chorus, however, is where the real spirit of the song comes alive. The singer exclaims that she knows exactly how to let loose and enjoy herself, that she knows how to "do it" and "show it." The night fever is the infectious energy that everybody shares, and the singer concludes that she is essentially living her in-the-moment desires to the fullest, anticipating the night to never end.
Overall, the message is that of losing oneself in the moment and letting go of inhibitions, and the beauty of the night fever experience is that it allows everyone to come together in a way that is both familiar yet novel.

This band is epic. Letβs remember theyβre a heavy rock band, and listen to the variety of stuff they can turn their hands to. Just fantastic talented musicians. They may take the music very seriously, but I love how they take themselves so light-heartedly
allymayful
And they proudly reveal their respect for all types of music and musicians - love them for it.

Yes, their being self-deprecating has always been a positive. Just look at their videos for "Big Me" and "Learn to Fly", and one can see how they don't take themselves too seriously. As far as being able to play anything, that's very true. Their cover of "Baker Street" is amazing! π
Mount Comfort
Very talented
