2. Having recently supported The View, Larrikin Love, The Rifles, The Modern and The Holloways, Fruition are taking great pleasure in giving their music to the masses. They take to the stage with a great energy and always entertain. All from a little village called Pirton the boys strive to bring a sense of community and passion to the procedings
The band has worked hard on creating their own style influenced by rather than sounding like the bands that have inspired the individual members. They also work hard in the studio to make the tunes released give people the same energy they feel at the live shows. Not content with what they have got they are going out to grab everyone and get them jumping.
Wild as the Night
Fruition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my day is done
Can't see the stars
With the Tv on
No midnight owl
Over the sound of you crying
Side by side
You turn away
From my embrace
Had enough
Of Loving tough
That ain′t your style
And I'm wild as the night
As the wind in the pine
As a heart on fire
Wild as the night
I'm the howling wolf
I′m the midnight band
I′m the old tin roof
In the falling rain
I'm a spinning wheel
On a muddy hill
But no seatbelt on
I don′t take off
I sit back down
I bring you love
'Til you turn around
Let down your guard
Don′t you take it too hard
Lord knows I'm wild
Said I′m wild as the night
As the wind in the pine
As a heart on fire
Wild as the night
I'm wild as the night
As the wind in the pine
The lyrics of Fruition's song "Wild as the Night" tell the story of someone who is wild and passionate in their love, but may not always get it right. The first verse sets the scene with the singer not getting far in their day and feeling disconnected from the natural world around them. They hear their partner crying and can't help but feel the weight of their pain. The second verse shifts the focus to the relationship between the singer and their partner. They are together on a moonless night and although they are side by side, the partner turns away from their embrace. The singer recognizes that they have been loving too tough, but that isn't their partner's style.
The chorus serves as a declaration of the singer's wildness and passion. They are as wild as the night, as the wind in the pine trees, and as a heart on fire. They compare themselves to iconic symbols of wildness such as a howling wolf and a spinning wheel on a muddy hill. Despite their wild nature, they won't leave their partner and promise to continue loving them until they turn around and let down their guard. The singer acknowledges that their partner's rejection hurts, but they are still as wild as ever.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wild as the Night" showcase a complex and nuanced view of love and passion. The singer is unapologetically wild and passionate, but also recognizes that their partner may have a different approach to love. Despite their differences, they are committed to each other and willing to weather the storms of rejection and pain.

Wow. Honored to be the first comment. Im a dj and a musician. I saw them do this song friday night late at Hangtown. What a glorious, full, soaring chorus in this song. I could care less what they're saying. The music alone is intoxicating. I like the way the harmony parts are close in volume to the lead vocal. Kind of like CSN. I checked out about 12 songs to play on my radio show. There's a lot of swing and misses but this band has a high batting average in terms of songwriting. Fruition. From Portland Or.
