Music of The Night
Potts Paul Lyrics

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
The heightened senses in the night make one feel every sensation more vividly.

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
The darkness allows for imagination to ignite and flourish.

Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Senses are vulnerable in the tranquility of the night and more open to experiencing new sensations.

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
The night unravels its beauty gradually and peacefully.

Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Embrace the beauty of the night delicately and tenderly.

Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn away from the harsh, unflattering light of day.

Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
Switch off from the cold, rational thinking of the day.

And listen to the music of the night
Listen to the tranquil and mesmerizing melody that is the night.

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
In the darkness of night, surrender to the deepest and unknown desires of your mind.

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Erase all thoughts of the past from your mind, embrace the present.

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
Close the eyes and allow the spirit to be liberated and ascend above the physical self.

And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before
In this new world of the night, live with a freedom unparalleled to anything felt before.

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
The music of the night shall gently and tenderly embrace you.

Hear it, feel it, secretly posses you
Feel and surrender to the music that will secretly command your thoughts and emotions.

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
Be open to whatever fantasies the mind conjures up, allowing them to unfold before you.

In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
In this all-encompassing darkness of the night, you cannot resist its magical powers.

The darkness of the music of the night
The shadows cast by the music of the night.

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Allow the mind to embark on a strange and mysterious journey through the world of the night.

Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Forget about the life you once knew, focus solely on the present.

Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Let the soul guide you to where you truly belong.

Only then can you belong to me
Only when you’ve surrendered to the night can you become one with the composer and his music.

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
The music of the night causing a feeling of euphoria and dizziness.

Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
The composer wants to be trusted, and for the sensations of the night to be relished fully.

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
Let the dream-state commence and allow the darker, hidden side of oneself to be released.

To the power of the music that I write
The power within the composer and his music, where he dominates and merges with the listener.

The power of the music of the night
The transformative and hypnotic power of the music that belongs to the night.

You alone can make my song take flight
Only the listener can take the music and interpret it in his/her unique way.

Help me make the music of the night
Collaboratively create the music that captures the essence of the night and takes the listener on a journey.
