1) TNT is a hard rock band formed in Trondheim, Norway in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen , guitarist Ronni Lé Tekrø , bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Morten "Diesel" Dahl . They released their self-titled debut album the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American vocalist Tony Harnell became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder with the temporary stage name Tony Hansen. That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales in 1987, before "Diesel" Dahl decided to quit one year later, after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales - as co-written by Dahl - produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)".

Kenneth Odiin became TNT's new drummer, but recorded only one album with the band, Intuition in 1989, before he left. His replacement was John Macaluso, who played on the albums "Realized Fantasies" and "Three Nights in Tokyo" (both released in 1992). The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation "Till Next Time" was released, and Tony Harnell, Ronni Le Tekrø and Morty Black reformed TNT with drummer Frode Hansen. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly in 1997 and Transistor in 1999.

In 2000 Morten Diesel Dahl came back to TNT, 12 years after he left. The band started working on their new album "My Religion", which was released in 2004. Months after the album release, Morty Black decided to quit, and Sid Ringsby took his place for the following concerts.

TNT's new studio album, All The Way To The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. A single, "Sometimes" was released on July 25th, but was only available in Norway. The same year Victor Borge replaced Sid Ringsby as their live bassist.

Tony Harnell left the band in April 2006 for both personal and professional reasons, although he is collaborating with iMagic Films and producer Darren Paltrowitz on a live DVD featuring his performance with the band in Madrid, Spain from April 1, 2006. The DVD is intended to be released in Japan in August 2006 and elsewhere in the world in September 2006.

TNT are still alive and kickin' - and are proud to introduce the new man behind the mic: Singer Tony Mills from Birmingham, England. Tony Mills is one of Europe's most respected hard rock singers, mostly known for his work with UK Melodic Rock act Shy and his solo artiste releases of recent years. Tony has worked along side such names as Cinderella, Dokken, Cozy Powell, Meatloaf, The Sweet and many more and will add a new and exciting dimension to TNT as the band enter a new era. It is an unbelievable coincidence that Mills' band Shy were already booked to support TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway before Harnell's departure. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him.

Desperate Night
TNT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A soldier alone
Defending the borderline
His eyes on the run
Looking for a place to hide
And he's wondering why
Tears falling , he fades into darkness
Waiting for dawn to ease the pain - oh

Desperate night
Desperate night
He'll wait for the light

With blood on his hands
The memories are all too clear
To realize the truth
Never makes it disappear
Does anyone hear

Death like a thief has come without a
Warning
Heroes die before the dawn - oh

Desperate night
Desperate night
He'll wait for the light

Solo

Desperate night
Desperate night
He'll wait for the light

Desperate night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of TNT's song "Desperate Night" describe the desperate state of a soldier who is defending the borderlines all alone. He is on the run and desperately searching for a place to hide. The soldier is wondering why he is in this painful situation, and tears are falling from his eyes as he slowly fades into the darkness. He waits for dawn to ease the pain, but the night seems never-ending.

The soldier is in tremendous agony, with blood on his hands, memories of the past clearly etched in his mind. He knows that the truth is hard to accept and that it can never make his painful memories disappear. However, no one seems to hear his pain, and death is now approaching him like a thief. Even heroes die in the darkness of the night. The soldier has no choice but to wait for the light.

The lyrics of the song are a heart-wrenching portrayal of the pain and suffering that a soldier goes through. It shows that war is not only about battles and strategies but also about the emotional and psychological agony that soldiers often face.

Line by Line Meaning

A soldier alone
A lone soldier fights the frontier

Defending the borderline
Protecting the boundary from enemies

His eyes on the run
His gaze wanders, looking for an escape route

Looking for a place to hide
Searching for a secure place to take shelter

And he's wondering why
He wonders why he is alone in this situation

Tears falling , he fades into darkness
He weeps as he sinks into darkness

Waiting for dawn to ease the pain - oh
Hoping for daylight to relieve his agony

With blood on his hands
He bears the burden of blood on his hands

The memories are all too clear
The memories of his actions are vivid and haunting

To realize the truth
To accept the harsh reality

Never makes it disappear
The truth can't be erased
