Eisley originally consisted of four siblings: Sherri DuPree-Bemis, Stacy King (nee Dupree), Chauntelle D’Agostino (nee Dupree), and Weston DuPree -- and their cousin, Garron DuPree. Stacy, Chauntelle, and Weston left the band in 2015, leaving the band as a duo of Sherri and Garron augmented by hired professionals.

The band began as an after-church endeavor when the DuPrees were young. The band was named Moss Eisley, after the Star Wars city Mos Eisley, but for legal reasons the "Moss" was dropped officially when they announced their tour opening for Coldplay. Now they're all grown up and have both headlined and opened for bands such as (but not limited to): Taking Back Sunday, Coldplay, Switchfoot, Snow Patrol, Brand New, Vedera, MUTEMATH, The Myriad, Hot Hot Heat and New Found Glory, and Say Anything, in which Sherri DuPree married lead singer Max Bemis. Featuring ethereal, soaring harmonies and dreamy imagery, Eisley has a sound all their own. They are, however, not without comparison or influence. Their sound echoes to dream pop and artists such as Cocteau Twins or Mazzy Star and to contemporary acts such as Denali.

The Night Comes
Eisley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the night comes
I'll be the one with torches
I'm shining on
And when your head hit the bed
that I'm lying on,
I'll be your watcher through the night

Because I'm, I'm better than this

And you all, you couldn't resist
And that's ok because I love you all
I love you all, I love you the most

And when I shut my eyes
the facets of color in my lids align
and your soft, fair voice it shouted in my mind
It shouted in my mind, you shouted in my mind

Because I'm, I'm better than this
And you all, you couldn't resist
And that's OK because I love you all
I love you all, I love you the most

Because I'm, I'm better than this
And you all, you couldn't resist
And that's OK because I love you all

I love you all, I love you the most
I love you all, I love you the most

Overall Meaning

Eisley's song "The Night Comes in" is a beautiful and haunting melody that speaks to the idea of staying up late at night, watching over someone you love. The lyrics describe the singer as the one with torches, shining on through the darkness. The singer is offering comfort and protection to the person lying beside them, promising to watch over them through the night. The chorus repeats the message that the singer is better than the situation they find themselves in and that they love everyone around them.

The song seems to be about finding strength in a difficult situation. The line, "I'm better than this" suggests that the singer is facing some kind of challenge or hardship, but they are determined to rise above it. The repetition of "you all" suggests a group of people surrounding the singer who are experiencing the same struggle. Despite the difficult circumstances, the singer professes love and devotion to those around them, even claiming to love them the most.

The bridge of the song describes a powerful mental image of facets of color aligning in the singer's mind when they shut their eyes. This image is interrupted by a voice speaking to them, possibly the voice of the person they are watching over. The repetition of "you shouted in my mind" adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
