A Hard Day's Night
Enoch Light Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, ow
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

I love instrumental music like this. I'm 37 & so I wasn't even born or very young when this music was in. However, music like this has always grave me. Also discovered, Esquivel, Walter Wanderly, etc this past yr...AWESOME musc.
@ledisquaire
the music you're talking about is often catagorized in the easy listening section of 2nd hand record stores. i'm a huge fan/ collector but i'm very particular about the danceability. it has to be superbly funky/ groovy for it to make it into my racks. enoch lights discotheque lps are a good place to start. top of the heap is claus ogerman's watusi trumpets lp. top notch/ insanely groovy 60s go-go music! i recommend fans of this sound search hyp records. also a great source is 60s soundtracks!

Hi Chris. Nice to have your news. Have a good collection of instrumental Lps too but donot know how to add them to youtube yet. Just one maybe two radio stations in Lima broadcast these melodies. But now fortunately I have the web to listen my favourite instrumental songs. Wish you good luck, hope more instrumental music from your side soon. Your friend in Lima P E R U Luis

Well, thank you for posting this. Now that I look back, I wonder if any of these artist were played for "elevator" music in dept. stores, malls, back in the day. I need to buy some of this music & get a better stero to play it on. I've thought bout bose but, have heard mix reviews on it.
