Glow
Tony Anderson (Seasons) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it glows
When the night is coming to a close
The sky is painted red
But the darkness, it can't settle yet.
And I don't care if we stay out here all night
I don't have any place to go, don't you know
Cause they can tell that we make quite a pretty pair
Every time I come around
You are sitting still
Maybe we aint got no money
But the chase is worth the thrill
Any time you find that's free
I'll meet you on the street
Cash is empty, quit your job
Get busy on this pavement beat
Ohhh, Ohhh... get busy on this pavement beat
And I don't care if we stay out here all night
Where do you go,
When it glows,
When the night is coming to a close
And I don't care if we stay out here all night
All this summertime,
Streetlight glow
Where do you go
When it glows
When the night is coming to a close
The sky is painted red
But the darkness, it can't settle yet.
And I don't care if we stay out here all night
I don't have any place to go, don't you know
The glitter streets can give us up to sunlight
Cause they can tell that we make quite a pretty pair
Quite a pretty pair
The lyrics of the song "Glow" by Tony Anderson (Seasons) talks about two people, possibly lovers, who are enjoying the night together. The song opens up with the singer asking where they go when it glows, referring to the glow of the night sky or the city lights. The sky is painted red, but the darkness still lingers. This could represent the duality of the night - it can be both beautiful and dangerous. The singer doesn't have any other place to go and is happy to stay out all night with his companion. They can be seen as a pretty pair, and the glittery streets can light up their path until the sun rises.
The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of staying out all night and enjoying the summertime streetlight glow. The singer admires the person he is with, saying that even though they may not have money, the chase is worth the thrill. They will meet on the street, and money is not an issue. They are both free, without any worldly possessions, and can enjoy each other's company.
Overall, the lyrics of "Glow" are about the simple pleasures in life and finding joy in each other's presence. The night time can be a magical time, and the song highlights its beauty and wonder. The song's upbeat tempo and bright sound add to its joyful and carefree message.
