1.) Papermoon is a Viennese duo, who had a successful career with quiet music (guitar and vocal), during the 1990s, predominantly in Austria.
The project was founded in 1991 by Christof Straub (guitar) and Edina Thalhammer (vocals). After their song "Night After Night" received frequent airplay on the Austrian radio station Ö3 in 1992, they signed a recording contract. The first album went double platinum with total sales over 100000. Both of the followup albums went gold. The most familiar titles are "Tell Me A Poem" and "Lucy's Eyes." Edina Thalhammer left the group in 1996, for a period of almost seven years, and was replaced by Roumina Straub, and for a short time, by Barbara Pichler. During this time, a maxi-single and a "Best Of" album (with three new titles) were released. Edina Thalhammer attempted a solo career with the project "Tau" in 2002. The original members of Papermoon are back together as of 2004.
After an unsuccessful nomination in 2005 for the album "Come Closer," Papermoon was awarded the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the "Pop/Rock Group" category in 2006 for the album "True Love."

2.) The second "Papermoon" is a rock band from Boston fronted by guitarist David Messier.

Night After Night
Papermoon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone
I have tried to
write a few words to you
all alone
I have tried to
Live with the pain

I wonder now

Are you alone
Is somebody with you
I wonder now
How can I go on
when you're not around

refrain:
night after night I am waiting for someone
I'm calling you day after day after day
Can't you hear me

Tell me now
How can you be strong
When somebody needs you
Tell me now
Where do I belong
Can't find my way home
I run away
Away from the storm
Turn around
See the hills
See the sky
See the sun

Refrain

I can't believe
Is it true
This paperback story
I can't believe
Is it true
That you are gone

Refrain x2

Night after night after night
Day after day after day

Night after night after night
Day after day after day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Papermoon's song Night After Night depict the feeling of loneliness and the struggle to move on after a breakup. The first verse talks about how the singer has been trying to write a few words to their former lover, but they are alone and in pain. There is a sense of longing and yearning for the person they have lost. The next verse shifts focus to the other person and wonders if they are alone or with someone else. The singer expresses their feelings of helplessness and inability to move on when their significant other is not around. The refrain is a plea for the other person to come back to them, calling out day after day, night after night. They want to know how their former significant other can be so strong while they are left alone, struggling to find their way home.

The final verse speaks about the shock and disbelief that comes with a breakup. The singer can't believe that their former lover is gone and wonders if the breakup is just a "paperback story". The refrain is repeated twice, highlighting the desperation and longing for the other person. The song portrays the universal feeling of heartbreak and the longing to be with the person we love. The melody and repetition of the refrain give the song a hauntingly beautiful quality that leaves a lasting impact on its listeners.
