1) A 1950s America… Read Full Bio ↴There are a number of artists named The Symbols;
1) A 1950s American doo-wop/R&B group.
2) A 1960s British rock group.
Formed in the early 1960s prior to the Beat Boom explosion, The Symbols honed their craft in the back waters of East London earning a reputation as one of the region's best live draws. With near-constant gigging and a knack for incorporating the catchiest of US hits within their set, the boys - John Milton (vocals), Mick Clarke (bass), Shaun Corrigan (lead guitar) and Clive Graham (drums - later Chas Wade) - caught the attention of the newly-formed President label.
Their 4th single introduced them to the UK charts, a version of the Four Seasons' earlier US hit, "Bye Bye Baby" and, in so doing, inadvertently laid down the blueprint for what would become the Bay City Rollers' No.1 some 8 years later. After releasing just one more single in 1968, the band's brief tenure with President was over. "Bye Bye Baby" was released in the US in 1967, but failed to chart.
Through A Long And Sleepless Night
The Symbols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I whisper your name
Through a long and sleepless night
Of who is to blame
Can't help but wonder
If you're lonely too
As I lie here and toss about
How I wish, my heart with me
My memories alone
Why must I re-dream, re-live
The Joys we have known
I pray that someday
Our love will see the light' til then
In thick dark silence I beg my heart to replace
All through and oh so long and sleepless night
I pray that someday
Our love will see the light' til then
In thick dark silence
I beg my heart to replace
All through alone so long and sleepless night
The Symbols' song Through A Long And Sleepless Night is about a person who is unable to sleep because they are constantly thinking about their lost love. The song's opening line, "Through a long and sleepless night, I whisper your name" emphasizes the toll the absence of the loved one has taken on the person's mental state. The line "Of who is to blame" shows that the breakup was not straightforward and suggests that the person is still trying to understand why they are no longer together.
The singer of the song is consumed with thoughts of their former lover and can't help but wonder if they are also experiencing the same loneliness. The line "How I wish, my heart with me, My memories alone" reveals that the person is haunted by memories of their relationship and is struggling to move on. They are also struggling to sleep because they continue to "re-dream, re-live the Joys we have known," indicating that the memories are both comforting and agonizing at the same time.
In the chorus, the person prays that their love will be rekindled someday, but until then, they must endure the "thick dark silence" of their loneliness. The song ends with a repetition of the line, "All through alone so long and sleepless night," emphasizing the immense struggle of the person in trying to move on from their past love.

Through a long and sleepless night
I spend a restless night without you
I whisper your name
I long for you and call out to you softly
Of who is to blame
I question where our relationship went wrong
Can't help but wonder
I am curious and uncertain about your feelings
If you're lonely too
I imagine that you are also experiencing loneliness
As I lie here and toss about
I cannot find comfort and keep turning over in my mind
So alone, so without you
I feel isolated and incomplete without your presence
How I wish, my heart with me
I yearn for your love and companionship
My memories alone
I am left with only my thoughts of you
Why must I re-dream, re-live
Why do I keep reliving our past moments together in my mind?
The joys we have known
I cherish the happy memories we shared
I pray that someday
I hope for a future where we can reunite
Our love will see the light' til then
Our love will remain hidden until the circumstances are right
In thick dark silence I beg my heart to replace
Amidst the overwhelming quietness, I plead with myself to move on
All through alone so long and sleepless night
All throughout the long and lonesome night, I struggle alone
