Night Music
Simple Minds Lyrics

Can you hear the lone night music coming in so near
As the night falls, a captivating sound gets closer, setting the stage for what follows.

When I hear the lone night music, every nightmare crumbles and they disappear
The enchanting music of the night fades away all the troubles and problems, giving way to peace and calmness.

And you hear the echoes calling, speaking in verse
The echoes of the night music form meaningful sentences that seem to speak to the listener directly.

When I hear the lone night music, everything gets stronger and I lose this curse
The listener feels a surge of energy after listening to the night music, breaking free from a feeling of darkness or misfortune.

Help me break the chains that hold me from the truth
A plea to be liberated from the constraints that keep one from discovering the true essence of life.

I want to feel the hands that raise me from a low down level to the highest roof, woh oh
A desire to be uplifted from a state of mind that is emotionally weak, to a state of mind where one is enlightened and inspired.

Night music, I hear it now night music
The music of the night is an ever-present feature, and the listener can hear it all the time, always ready to inspire and soothe.

I want to catch the rock that's falling, roll it back up hill
An allusion to Sisyphus and his eternal struggle, a metaphor for the uphill battle of facing life's challenges.

When I hear the strange night music, the whole world's turning and I'm still standing
As the listener is engaged with the night music, the world seems to revolve and evolve around them, yet they manage to stay put and stay focused.

Still I feel it growing deep inside me, still I'm at a loss
Despite being moved by the night music, the listener feels a sense of confusion and bewilderment due to the sudden influx of emotions.

When I hear the lone night music, it's a warning signal there's a bridge to cross
The night music is a precursory signal that one needs to step outside their comfort zone and take risks to progress in life.

(The time and place to cure your bitter heart) Feels like running water, water of the soul
The night music is a restorative pool that helps cleanse one's heart and soul of its bitterness, like water that washes things away.

Spinning like a spinning wheel, way beyond control
The effect of the night music is long-lasting and difficult to control, almost like a spinning wheel that generates momentum on its own.

Can you hear the lone night music coming in so far
The night music grows louder and more pronounced, engulfing the listener's senses and penetrating deeper into their psyche.

When I hear the lone night music, it's a lonely planet, it's a burning star
The night music transforms from a solitary sound into a full-fledged experience that engulfs the listener, like a collection of planets orbiting a blazing sun.

I want to swim the widest ocean, diving in so deep
The listener craves an experience that touches every corner of their being, something as profound and vast as the deepest ocean.

When I hear the lone night music, I can get so blue that I just can't sleep
The night music can trigger powerful emotions that disrupt one's normal sleep patterns, keeping them awake and reflective.

Sing to me, oh night music, coming in so near
The listener is inviting the night music to stay close and continue to serenade them with its captivating melodies.

When I hear the lone night music, all my nightmares crumble and they disappear
The night music is a powerful force that dispels negative energy, bringing light and clarity to situations and dispelling any lingering misgivings.
