After the releas… Read Full Bio ↴Principe Valiente is a swedish post-punk/shoegaze band.
After the release of their debut album (2011) and the sophomore ”Choirs of Blessed Youth” (2014), Principe Valiente ventured deeper into the sonic landscapes of their minds. Drawing inspiration from ambient experimentalists like Cocteau Twins, 80’s sci-fi soundtracks as well as exuberant vocalists like Bowie and Kate Bush.
With their third album "Oceans" mixed by Jimmy Ottosson, the band has created another alluring world with human-all-too-human lyrics and phantasmal soundscapes. Cool and dreamy, yet impassioned and loaded with sweet anxiety. Partly recorded by producer Martin Ehrencrona (Les Big Byrd), and partly in various basements and art school lobbies around their hometown Stockholm, Sweden.
The Night
Principe Valiente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night is here again
but the stars are here with me
the way that you touched me
and the things you said to me
The night is here again
to you anymore
the way that you found me
On the streets
on the streets
The night is here again
but I don't belong
to you anymore
after all those wild mistakes
we finally found
just what it takes
I'm sure you know
that I still care
that I still care for you
that I still care for you
"The Night" is a powerful and emotive song performed by Principe Valiente that explores the themes of love, loss, and loneliness. The singer of the song finds themselves alone on the streets at night, haunted by memories of a past relationship. The stars in the sky serve as a reminder of the love they once shared, and the way their partner touched them and spoke to them. However, despite these powerful feelings of love, the singer knows that they no longer belong to their former partner. They have moved on from the wild mistakes they made together and have found the strength to let go, even though they still care deeply for the other person.
The use of repetition in the lyrics, particularly the phrase "The night is here again, but I don't belong to you anymore," emphasizes the sense of separation and distance between the singer and their former partner. The use of the night as a symbol of both loneliness and connection with the stars adds a layer of depth and beauty to the song. The singer is able to find solace in the night and the stars, even as they grapple with the pain of loss and heartbreak. Overall, "The Night" is a poignant and moving exploration of the complexities of love and relationships.

The night is here again
Another evening has arrived
but the stars are here with me
The constellations are company
the way that you touched me
Remembering your physical affection
and the things you said to me
Recalling your words
but I don't belong
I do not fit
to you anymore
In your life now
the way that you found me
When you first discovered me
On the streets
Out in public
after all those wild mistakes
Despite all our errors
we finally found
Discovered together
just what it takes
What we needed
I'm sure you know
I believe you understand
that I still care
My feelings remain
for you
About you

I've discovered these guys a very few days ago and I'm speechless. They´ve got the taste, the vibe and the darkness of so many 80s bands. Lovely work!

I can not stop hearing that beat in my chest and mind, this music blows my senses and takes me nowhere ... I could dance all night with myself, thanks Sweden for giving me a break in turbulent times. Greetings from Venezuela

Hypnotic, dark, and takes me to another place. Just as gothic rock should be.

at 2:39 it really takes off , I love when all the instruments merge at this point , and every body in the video goes nuts , I just wish they could have kept that going for another 3 mins , that would have been sick.
