    LYRICS:
    The Night (1988 Deathrock version)
    The day is the wife whom I elude.
    The one to whom I should be right.
    Though forewarned by peers and kin
    I always give in to the night.
    Mother always warned me such,
    being a nocturnal soul
    Besides just being simply strange
    Spawns from some illness of the mind.
    But the Night,
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She sways in her velvet dress
    And pulls me towards her in the dark
    While the others rest
    While the others rest
    While the others rest
    Heed the call the time has come
    for you children of the Night
    Gather 'round like suckling dogs
    Mother's come she is the Night.
    Come with me to the other side.
    Make that girl in black your bride!
    But the Night,
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She sways in her velvet dress
    And pulls me towards her in the dark
    While the others rest
    While the others rest
    While the others rest
    I see the light
    coming through the blinds.
    I close my eyes.
    I don't care if you think it's wrong.
    I'm gonna sleep the whole day long.
    The sun goes down, This is my wake up call.
    It still seems very strange to me
    that her quiet, lonely streets
    draped in all their mystery
    could be so sweet and comforting
    But the Night,
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She calls me
    She sways in her velvet dress
    And pulls me toward her in the dark
    While the others rest
    While the others rest
    While the others rest

    As a nocturnal soul myself, in a world which expects day-wakeness, this is very accurate.
    Also, on the other meaning such as, "Make that girl in black your bride!", yes please 🖤

    Not sure whether I like this or the original more. Both rock in different ways. One thing's for sure: Voltaire's still got it.

    • @LUCIOdaMayTricks
      @LUCIOdaMayTricks 3 года назад +9

      The other version being so monochordic, although it lacks the dynamics of this one, in its own way it creates a sort of hypnotizing sound for the violins to delve through. But this one screams out all the crude expression from the song.

      Yes. On one hand you have something closer to classic Goth and something closer to Gothic rock. Both are amazing though. I love the Night regardless of versions.

    This is the first CD that I bought and had signed the day it came out. Definitely one of my favorite albums. Keep up the splendid work! Looking forward to the upcoming book too.

    One of my most favored songs by you V. I remember when you mentioned about this remake in a Facebook post, and hot damn, it delivers. Thank you for this!
