Unforgettable night
Jamestown Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your presence, in essence, makes it go away
Please take the seat next to me...
You're just a stranger to me, but somehow you've changed how I think
You saved me from my past, with just a harmless dance...
Sedated, I hate it, too afraid to make a move
You're so friendly, the night's ending, I still haven't made a move
Please can I see you again, I don't want this night to end... Falling from, your heart-shaped noose, that my dull teeth, helped cut me through
Falling fast, into your arms, the night's so cold, the air's so warm...
The song "Unforgettable Night" by Jamestown Story is a tender ballad that explores the overwhelming emotions experienced when meeting someone who captures our heart and takes away our pain. The opening lines convey a sense of awe and wonder, as the singer admits to being speechless and impressed by the person sitting next to them. The presence of the other person is so powerful that it has the ability to make all their pain go away. This strong emotional connection is further emphasized when the singer asks the stranger to take the seat next to them which shows a level of trust that a complete stranger is capable of bringing them comfort.
As the song progresses, we learn that the singer has been saved from their past by the stranger's kindness. The use of imagery of a harmless dance demonstrates the power of small actions and how they can have significant impacts on our lives. The singer admits to feeling sedated and afraid, unable to make a move on this person who has ignited something in them. However, the singer is desperate for the night not to end, and pleads with the stranger to see them again.
The second half of the song explores the feeling of falling into the arms of this stranger who has captured their heart. The reference to a "heart-shaped noose" elicits feelings of being trapped in a relationship, but the singer still feels safe in the arms of the stranger. The juxtaposition of the night being cold and the air warm emphasizes the warmth that the stranger brings to the singer's life.
Overall, "Unforgettable Night" is a song about the power of love and how it can transform our lives in unexpected ways.
