lyrics

we filled up the car.
drove it as far as we could.
until we started seeing things, that we had never even dreamed to see.

we spent all night in bars, talkin' to strangers, listening in awe to their great ideas.

tryna' break the binding that contained our simple minds and simple minds. all day i would play and sing, to the unfamiliar streets, just so we could go a little further, and had something we could eat -
that would sustain, our ever growing appetites.

sleeping bags, curled up in the back seat, or kind civilians, fold out beds and white sheets, white sheets....

life is hard, we all know...makin' a start is the most difficult part. if you think that you know anything, if you think that your rough upbringing can begin to compare to some of the people out there, out there...

but don't take it from me, you gotta go and see. you couldn't understand from this simplified recount.

farm houses run by widowers. uneducated children have no choice, but to do it just the same as their fathers did, and there's more kindness than evil out there if you take the time to look, yeah listen and watch.

you gotta love the world that you're living in right now, it's the only one you got, and there's no point wishing it away.

by the time we came back, it didn't feel like home, but we smiled for friends and family, yeah we gave them all a show, and we knew for sure that something in us had changed. yeah we wouldn't be here long, there's no way that we could stay, we'd caught a strange disease, it needed us to leave. yeah we were different people now. we were free....

about

thenight Sydney, Australia

thenight (originally she's themorning and thenight) spawned from the song writing of lead singer Neal Critchley.

From this, add a little bit of rhythm here, a sprinkle of strings, and a dash of melody over there, and you have made yourself a band with great integrity and dedication. We are thenight, and we will have you singing along in no time. ... more
