Schooled in dusty youth club contests rather than star-spangled pop schools, Harvieu was the youngest of three girls. She was shy as a child, observing everyone while the world whirled around her, soaking up the music she loved like a sponge. Her dad was a singer, touring the area’s pubs, singing Irish folk songs, James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel songs; he’d tell stories to his daughter about the locals who would carry him from his stool, and pop him in the Ladies’ toilets, still singing and playing.
Through The Night
Ren Harvieu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know what I'm supposed to say,
I love you.
I'm so anxious, you don't know what I'm going through,
Don't know why I'm so afraid.
I love you.
Through the night, through the night dear
You don't see the love within my eyes,
Every night, every night you're creeping through my dreams and I need more.
You had us fooled, as skies, I love you
Feel so breathless, as you dance around my mind,
The thought of you sends me so high.
I love you.
Through the night, through the night dear
Through the night, through the night dear
You don't see the love within my eyes,
Through the night, through the night dear
Through the night, gonna loose my nerve or loose my mind
Every night, every night your creeping through my dreams and I need more.
You had us fooled, as skies, I love you
Through the night,
You don't see the love.
Through the night, through the night.
Every night every night you're creeping through my dreams and I need more
I love you.
In Ren Harvieu's song "Through The Night," the artist expresses her feelings of love and anxiety towards someone she deeply cares for. The song's opening lines convey a sense of nervousness, as she doesn't know what to say to the person she loves. Throughout the song, she continues to express her feelings of anxiety and breathlessness as this person 'creeps through her dreams.' She seems to fear that she will lose her nerve or even her mind in this person's presence as she proclaims her love for them.
Despite her fears and anxieties, Ren Harvieu expresses her deep love for this person in the chorus. However, she feels that they do not see the love within her eyes. This lack of understanding from the person she loves may be exacerbating her anxiety and fear, leading her to describe how breathless she feels when they dance around her mind.
Overall, "Through The Night" is a poignant expression of love, anxiety and fear. The lyrics show how powerful the emotions of love can be and how they can affect our behavior and thoughts, leading to feelings of immense fear and anxiety. It shows us how difficult it can be to open up to someone we love and the fear that comes with it.

Bad singer? Are we all listening to the same song? This is fantastic, and she is a talented singer. I hope she wins the BBC Sound Of 2012.
@Oystercatcher011
I've been loving the exposure this song is getting this week on BBC Radio 2 - must be on the A Playlist! Such a glossy, classy, laid back song, great music arrangement with strong retro 60s feel, and a superb voice singing tunefully. [N.B. now I know how to spell Ren's surname :-) ]
@itbites
