Night Music Lyrics


Can you hear the lone night music
Comin' in so near?
When I hear the lone night music
Every nightmares crumble and they disappearCan you hear the echoes callin'
Speakin' in verse?
When I hear the strange night music
Everythin' gets stronger and I lose this curseHelp me break the chains that hold me
Keep me from truth
I wanna feel the hands that raise me
From the low down level to the highest roofWoh, night music
And I can hear it now
Night musicI wanna catch the rock that's fallin'
Roll it back up hill
When I hear the strange night music
The whole world's turnin' and I'm still standin' stillI feel it growin' deep inside me
Still I'm at a loss
When I hear the strange night music
It's a warnin' signal there's a bridge to crossWoh, night music

I feel it now
Night musicWoh, night music
And I can hear it now
I feel it nowGood news from the next world
Tear yourself apart
X still marks the time and place
To cure your bitter heartFeel like runnin' water
This water of the soul
Spinnin' like a spinnin' wheel
Way beyond controlSpinnin' like a spinnin' wheel
Way beyond controlCan you hear the lone night music
Comin' in so far?
When I hear the lone night music
It's a lonely planet, it's a burnin' starI want to swim the widest ocean
Divin' in so deep
When I hear the lone night music
I can get so blue that I just can't sleepSing to me old night music
Comin' in so near
When I hear the lone night music
All my nightmares crumble and they disappearWoh, night music
And I believe it now
Night musicWoh, night music
I can feel it now
I can feel it nowGood news from the next world
Tear yourself apart
X still marks the time and place
To cure your bitter heartFeel like runnin' water
This water of the soul
Spinnin' like a spinnin' wheel
Way beyond control
Way beyond controlWoh, woh, night music

Simple Minds is a Scottish rock band which achieved its greatest worldwide popularity from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The band, from the South Side of Glasgow, produced a handful of critically acclaimed albums in the early 1980s. Simple Minds has secured a string of successful hit singles, the best known being their #1 worldwide hit single "Don't You (Forget About Me)", from the soundtrack of the John Hughes movie The Breakfast Club and #3 worldwide hit single "Alive and Kicking". The band has sold more than 40 million albums since 1979.

Founding members Jim Kerr (vocals) and Charlie Burchill (guitar, keyboards), along with drummer Mel Gaynor, are the core of the band, which currently features Andy Gillespie on keyboards and Ged Grimes on bass guitar.

Formed in late 1977 from the ashes of Johnny & the Self-Abusers, Simple Minds initially signed to Arista who recorded and released their first three albums. The musical changes Simple Minds went through in these first three albums shows how diverse their song range is. Tracks to compare would be Chelsea Girl, their first single with hints of Johnny And The Self Abusers, and I Travel an almost disco sounding track.

Virgin Records saw the potential in the band and in 1981 signed them up. The first Virgin Records release Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call was a double album, but later released as two single albums - Sons and Fascination and Sister Feelings Call.

They first found noteable success with New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84), which is still regarded as their best album by some fans.

They have had great commercial success in Europe and across the world since then (in the 80s and early 90s they sold 30 million albums worldwide). In the United States, however, they are known primarily for Don't You (Forget About Me) which was used in the soundtrack to the film the breakfast club and went to number one. Ironically it is one of few songs recorded by the band that they didn't write themselves.

In 1985 Once Upon A Time yielded a string of worldwide hit singles, (Alive And Kicking, Sanctify Yourself and Ghostdancing) leading to playing bigger arenas and supporting Amnesty International with donations from record sales.

Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill remain the core of the band to this day, with Andy Gillespie (keyboards), Mel Gaynor (drums) and Eddie Duffy (bass) supporting. Other members of the band: Michael MacNeil (keyboards), Derek Forbes (Bass) and John Giblin (Bass).

They have maintained a strong fan base world-wide and their album Black and White 050505 received critical acclaim on its release in September 2005, although it did not secure a release in the United States.

The band embarked on a UK-wide arena tour towards the end of 2008 to celebrate 30 years. This was cosidered a great success. Their new album Graffiti Soul is to be released on 25 May 2009.

Jim Kerr was married to Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders in 1984 (divorced 1992). They have one child, Yasmin Paris Kerr (1985). He was subsequently married to actress Patsy Kensit in 1992 (divorced, 1996) with whom he had a son, James Kerr (born, 1993).
