Formed in 2003, One Night Only started out as a bunch of school friends ‘just making noise’ in their rural hometown of Helmsley, North Yorkshire. They went on to spend the following two years tearing the vaulted roof off the local scene with unrefined gigs showcasing punk bastard pop way beyond their tender years. It was only a matter of time before One Night Only broke out of Helmsley. They knuckled down, wrote some songs and last October Steve Lamacq began spinning the demo of ‘You And Me’, prompting the band to really take themselves seriously. One Night Only signed to Vertigo, home of Razorlight and The Killers and then hit the road for months, supporting The Enemy, Milburn and The Coral and embarked on a jaunt around the nation’s Club NMEs. They are currently on their first headline tour.
They became popular in the Netherlands when the song "Just for Tonight" was used in the tv show "Studio Sport" to accompany the highlights of Euro Football 2008. On the Last night of the Euro Football 2008 they played an Acoustic Version of 'Just for Tonight' in the Studio of 'Studio Sport'
Talk You Down
One Night Only Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
... matched to the end
It goes away to prove
You not should have burned your friends
If it's mourning about silence, then I guess I'll keep crying If you like
And now it sound a lie oh
I might not feel so imply.
Spend you night in stars that fallest fast
Ohh how we need a little conversation
Speak you mind, play it across ...
Either way, I'll talk you down
You've talked away throught
Evenings, they all...
Preaching like some of it have sense
If you wanna play God, I guess I'll keep mourning if you like
Disciples come and go ohhh
You've should know that more than most
Spend you night in stars that fallest fast
Ohh how we need a ... conversation
Speak you mind, play it across ...
Either way, I'll talk you down
Spend you night in stars that fallest fast
Ohh how we need a little conversation
Speak you mind, ...
Either way, I'll talk you down
Spend you night in stars that fallest fast
Ohh how we need a little conversation
Speak you mind, play it across ...
Either way, I'll talk you down
I'll talk you down
... I'll talk you down
... I'll talk you down
... I'll talk you down
... I'll talk you down
In "Talk You Down," One Night Only seems to be addressing someone who has burned bridges - "You not should have burned your friends." Despite this betrayal, the singer still offers comfort and support to the person in need: "Either way, I'll talk you down." The song highlights the importance of communication in relationships, with lines like "Ohh how we need a little conversation / Speak your mind, play it across." The repetition of the phrase "Spend your night in stars that fallest fast" serves as a reminder to the listener that time is fleeting and it's important to cherish the moments we have with the people we care about.
In the second verse, the singer seems to be directly addressing the listener, criticizing their behavior: "If you wanna play God, I guess I'll keep mourning if you like / Disciples come and go ohhh / You've should know that more than most." This could be interpreted as a warning that the listener's actions will have consequences and that they should be careful not to let their arrogance and sense of superiority cause them to lose more friends.
One of the key themes that emerges from the lyrics is the idea of empathy and the importance of being there for the people we care about, even when they've made mistakes. The line "Either way, I'll talk you down" is a powerful reminder that sometimes all we need is someone to listen and offer us a shoulder to lean on.
