Kina started playing shows at the age of four in front of her stuffed animals. Now she plays in front of people, though it wasn’t the quickest transition for the admittedly shy songstress. While attending college at USC, Kina often retreated to the secluded stairwells around campus where she could write and sing without being heard. Protected by their quiet confines, she found a safe haven and a creative outlet for her music. Armed with a guitar and a cup of tea, Kina wrote in every stairwell she came across. And it was within these stairwells that she developed her confidence as a songwriter and her poise as a performer.
In 2007, Kina joined YouTube, made a music video and entered herself into a contest. A few months later, her video for “Message From Your Heart” aired during the Superbowl and its 97 million viewers (or 194 million eyeballs, depending on how you’re keeping track) and she walked away with a record deal. Since then, Kina has regularly posted her songs on YouTube, amassing many millions of views, and toured throughout North America. Her songs have been heard on television shows such as ABC’s General Hospital and MTV’s College Life.
Night
Kina Grannis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hush
Our feet gracing mountain tops skipping cross horizons
Silhouetted against against the stars
I've tried so hard I'm searching through layers and trying to make out the words
Delicate designs distracting me from what I'm trying to find
Such a sound I have long awaited to hear
We breathe, making little clouds, smiling through the dark and cold
As the wind breaks we shatter to the sky
Chorus
:
I can't help but feel alive
With you here in the night
This moment is all we have
And I'm not wasting a second more
In "Night," Kina Grannis describes the experience of being in the midst of a bright and adventurous night, filled with exploration and connection. The song is characterized by metaphoric and poetic lyrics, which convey the atmosphere and emotions of the scene. The first verse sets the scene of the night, with the singer and her companion chasing the moon across the evening sky in search of adventure. The second verse describes the beauty of their surroundings, with their feet touching mountain tops and their silhouettes against the stars. However, the singer is struggling to comprehend the deeper meaning of the night, as she searches for words and melodies that she can't seem to grasp.
Despite this, the singer is fully present in the moment, breathing in the cold air and taking in the sights and sounds around her. The chorus encapsulates the essence of the night - a moment in time that is fleeting but intensely alive, spent with someone she deeply cherishes. The song is a testament to the power of the present moment and the beauty of fleeting experiences.

Since you said millions of times, let's take one million
4:24 min= 264 sec
1 million × 264 = 264000000 sec
= 4400000min
= 73, 333.33 hours

For the people who need it.
Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Learning to wait through the endless parade
Of our same old see-you-next-time's
But when I close my eyes, the miles melt away
Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
You
Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Finally can be more than just a dream
But when I close my eyes, I want only to stay
Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
And it's enough, knowing you (I know that you're) are calling to me
While we're dreaming beneath the same moon
All it takes is imagining you so that I can get through
One more long and lonely day
So bring me the night, tell me it's near
Give me the chance to pretend that you're here
Darken the sky and light up the moon
Please bring it soon (bring it soon)
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you

@sanyasri8080
Whoever is the writer of this song (probably Kurt or Sam) has done a great job. It's lyrics are really very touching and the singers (Sam and Kina) made it even better.
Also the background music is very light and soft which makes it even more touching and emotional.
Thanks for giving us these kind of videos and songs.
