Beautiful Night
Paul McCartney(Boot) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone's high and dry.
Someone's on a mission to the lonely Lorelei.
Some folk's got a vision of a castle in the sky
And I'm left stranded, wondering why.
You and me together
Nothing feels so good
I won't need a castle, they've got castles in Versailles
And I'm still stranded, wondering why
Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Some boat's on the ocean
We're here in this room
Seems to me the perfect way to spend an afternoon
We can look for castles, pretty castles in the sky
No more wondering, wondering why
Things can go wrong, things can go right
Things can go bump, in the dead of the night
So let me be there, let me be there
Let me be there with you in the dead of the night
Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Make it a beautiful night for me
Such a beautiful night for love
Such a wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Yeah, it's a beautiful night
Yeah, it's a beautiful night
Yeah, beautiful night, beautiful night
Yeah, it's such a beautiful night, beautiful, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night

Sounds more like Elton John
Edit: Well I'm sorry but how does this sound Beatlesque?
- pretty cheesy melody ✓
- piano that just does chords on each beat, but does fills every measure, though the bass seems to be doing most of those here, so that sounds kind of like an in between between The Beatles and Elton ✓
- round sounding bass that sort of wiggles around in the background ✓
- chorus that goes high up for just the hook in a kind of minor sound even the verses sounded pretty major, even though they were kind of bittersweet and melancholic, but then chills back down and repeats the cycle ✓
- string orchestration that kicks in later, but doesn't really have its own melody and is pretty simple ✓
- straightforward drumming ✓
- also just uses pretty similar chords that Elton usually does. It sounds a lot like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (mostly the chorus), Candle in the Wind (overall), or Rocketman (though just in the bass).
That's definitely Elton. The Beatles tend to have more creative melodies, more creative drumming, more consistent but straightforward tone, less wiggly bass, and though they do have simple piano chords, they don't really do any of the fills Elton does. Finally, the string orchestration tends to have its own melodies and to highlight the rest of the music much more than it does in Elton's. Not very Beatles.

Who else is glad that Flaming pie is finally getting noticed?
@raedeankendall9169
CJRBchaz damn straight!

My favourite album
@tcaudiobooks737
Such a Beatley sounding record off the back of the Anthology... and all the better for it.
@moldefan3544
Certainly well deserved. Brilliant album, one of my faves. And it is sort of a hidden gem in is catalog. Although having said that, it was no. 2 in both the UK and US at the time.
@germanperezbottesi4458
@TC AUDIOBOOKS that's right! That's what I've always thought!...it sounds like the white album! Listen to that drum sound! The guitars... everything!!
@dannylangston6233
The best part of this song is bringing in Ringo's voice at the end. It kinda reminds you of the Beatles when you hear both Paul and Ringo.
@davidmullaney5366
I also missed George
@mariajosec.garcia429
I agree.
@babu357
I felt that as soon as the drums came in. You can just hear it's Ringo without even looking.
