The Dirty Dancing sound is at times all of the above: lo-fi, noisy, angular and anthemic, with touches of darkwave, a post-punk edge, a reverbed atmosphere, and handclaps galore. Depending on the track, you can hear influences as varied as The Kills, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Gun Club, Talking Heads, and even a little T. Rex...

In The Still Of The Night
Dirty Dancing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I held you
Held you tight
'Cause I love
Love you so
Promise i'll never
Let you go
In the still of the night
I remember
That night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep
Your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
The lyrics to this classic song are deeply romantic and heartfelt, describing a moment of intimate connection between two lovers. The singer is recalling a special evening in May when he held his beloved close, promising never to let her go. The repetition of the phrase "in the still of the night" emphasizes the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the moment and suggests that the singer feels a strong sense of calm and contentment when he is with his partner. The mention of bright stars above creates a dreamy, romantic mood and reinforces the idea that the couple's love is meant to be. The final lines of the song - "So before the light/Hold me again/With all of your might/In the still of the night" - capture a sense of urgency and desire, as the singer longs to be reunited with his lover and hold her close once more.
Overall, these lyrics represent a classic example of the power of love and human connection. They remind us of the importance of finding someone who we can hold onto in the still, quiet moments of our lives and who makes us feel secure and loved.

Because I have strong feelings of love
Love you so
I care for you very deeply
Promise I'll never
I vow to always
Let you go
Never let you leave my life

I recall
That night in May
That specific night in May
The stars were bright above
The stars were shining brightly in the sky
I'll hope and I'll pray
I wish and pray
To keep
To hold on to
Your precious love
Your significant love and affection towards me
Well before the light
Before morning comes
Hold me again
Embrace me once more
With all of your might
With all of your strength and power
In the still of the night
At this serene and peaceful time of night
So before the light
Before the sun rises
Hold me again
Embrace me once more
With all of your might
With all of your strength and power
In the still of the night
At this serene and peaceful time of night

In The Still of the Night is one of my favourites from Dirty Dancing. A beautiful tribute to the late Patrick Swayze. All the songs are true bliss.
