LYRICS

Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...

Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ...

Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you ...
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night ...

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you
long to be !
Only then can you belong to me ...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night ...

You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night . . .

[MynamewastakenIcry]

Good performance, work on your Diphthongs, like sens"aas" not see"siis", just open your mouth :)

[MoriKitsune]

Very awesome job! :D although to help you improve, could tell you that you rushed the lyrics in certain parts, but it was otherwise beautiful!

[Piargane]

Hi! What a beautiful interpretation! I am a classical pianist and congratulate you! Your voice is very appropriate for this song.

[NumOneJoeJonasLuver]

Oh Scot! This just completely made me melt! You are just... words cannot define how amazing you are!

[inlovewithKStewart22]

@Allyndaar1982 Yeah, that's true. I like though "Music shall caress you" "Secretly posses you" better than what it used to be.

[Allyndaar1982]

@inlovewithKStewart22 - depends on the version he's singing, but I like the one you noted better. The original has a whole 1/2 a verse more than what is commonly sung now days.

[inlovewithKStewart22]

Great. But the lyric is "Music shall caress you. Hear it, feel it, secretly posses you." not "Surround you" or "Closing in around you."

[MadderInstruments]

i literally swooned. Thats, like, never happened. <3

[Chabbs42]

What were your thoughts about hitting the high belting note full voice?? Not in comfortable range? idk haha id love any response

[alyssheartsanime]
