Every now and then, someone creates a little piece of perfection that just shines and shines. This song is one of those little pieces of perfection. I've seldom heard anything so sad and evocative. Hellfire, Lilah, where are you?
@@manuelgabellieri7364 Hard to tell... This song is probably the best song I ever listened to. As far as songs are concerned, I would say that two other marvelous songs that I really like are "food fo thought" by UB40 and "into my arms" by Nick Cave. I can also dare to suggest , off the top of my head, six albums among the best record in my collection: Van Morrison "Astral Weeks", Jesse Sykes "Oh my girl", Simon & Garfunkel "Bridge over troubled waters", PJ Harvey "Is this desire", This mortal coil "it'll end in tears", Tricky "Maxinquaye"
@@antalantal2366the fact that you mentioned Into my arms by Nick Cave... I came here just to see if it would be mentioned... and yet indeed - The Night is just on the top of any music ever made
You're the night, Lilah. A little girl lost in the woods. You're a folk tale, the unexplainable You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can make it on my own. It's too dark to see the landmarks. I don't want your good luck charms. I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars. You're the night, Lilah. You're everything that we can't see. Lilah, you're the possibility. You're the bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can make it on my own. Unknown the unlit world of old. You're the sounds I never heard before. Off the map where the wild things grow. Another world outside my door. Here I stand I'm all alone. Drive me down the pitch black road. Lilah you're my only home and I can't make it on my own. You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can make it on my own. You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams at the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball. The battle of the earth of the angels. The shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic - call you carpet of stars. See there is something in the yard. It's awful dark. With the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm, the prayer, the extra layer. The group ?
Thanks for the lyrics! I want to correct a detail though. This song is written for a girl named Layla (not Lilah). Layla means "night" in Arabic and its also used as girls name commonly. This is why the song's name is The Night. It's named after this girl.
*"Sandman was also a member of the blues-rock band Treat Her Right and founder of Hi-n-Dry, a recording studio and independent record label. Newton, Massachusetts, U.S. On July 3, 1999, he suffered a heart attack during a concert in Italy and died instantly."* Oh my... that's crazy...
@@smilemore1997 There is a beautiful documentary on Mark Sandman called 'Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story', it has some heartbreaking moments. There's another one that's more about the music called 'Morphine: Journey of Dreams', I recommend them both.
Listen to those strings. He's got a great voice. That sax is sublime too. Great lyrics...everything you could ask from a song. Drinking alone is good sometimes..most of the time
@@zkafel I have just never really got into it not saying there not good players I just really liked Morphine from the start it was playing in the background where I worked otherwise I don’t think I ever would of heard of them.
Nice. You should get into jazz some. It's amazing music. Morphine has been one of my favorite bands since I was like 13 years old. I'll be 38 next month. My dad introduced me to them, and he saw them live in Philadelphia in 1995 I believe (I have his shirt from the show)
@@miggs165 Listen to Eddie Harris - he is the GOAT sax player for me. Brother Ed, Lovely is Today, Set Us Free, Space Commercial, Freedom Jazz Dance, More Soul than Soulful, Listen Here, Compared to What and Cold Duck Time.
I feel the same... one of my favorite bands (I saw them live in 1997) and continues to be the only band in which the saxophone enchants me, I don't know why but, sadly, I simply don't like the sound of the instrument 🤷♀️
One of the great, great bands of the '90s. I have a melancholy feeling everytime I listen to them; one for the passing of them, of Mark, too young; second, for my own loss, the loss of my own youth, remembering being 20 in 1992 and knowing it's long, long gone with no way to get it back as the inexorable march of age continues on (nonetheless a blessing to still be alive) and third, being madly, madly in love with the woman I was with at that time in the 90s. We were blessed though, seeing Morphine live in the flesh 3 times.
Sounds good to me- just. Avoid the street powders and pills- it’s not morphine- it’s fentanyl- I don’t think I want my band named that- Great drums Cheers !
Incredibly beautiful. An invocation of the reality that lies beyond dispair, loneliness and desire. The song is delivered with souch beauty that you instinctly know that it speaks of a universal condition of life (feeling abandoned), a longing to again become immersed in the unconditional essence of love and oneness with all of creation. Giving up the things that are impermanent - letting go, letting go.
@@spacekowboy9993 i think the girls meant they supposedly named their daughters after the band, morphine, yet, you named your daughters after a potent pain killer in the opiate family? see anything wrong about that?
thank you 4 posting this. i've been so sad since my brother took his life 2 years ago, i needed to hear some real music this morning. mark's voice wraps around u & holds u tight for a moment, he enters that sad empty space inside u & instantly u feel a little less alone.
This song is so beautiful, It’s like you can actually here the opiates in the song. I’m not saying others can’t identify, It’s just something that jumps out at me and that I identify with.
This piece talks about nocturnal. those who shine at night dream with open eyes. They talk about the pain that accompanies the bottom of the vessels. They dream of the day, but the moon points them out, accompanies them in the drinks. They are children of darkness.

It’s strange to see this song, which I only ever shared with you, now connected to someone else for you. It used to hold a special place for both of us, and now it feels like just a memory. Funny how things change.

But I get why you feel that way with all the commercial horseshit. That's just cause mainly not many really give a fuck, & also cause of teenage girls who get suckered in as always.
Un toque sobrenatural, dulce y acechante, convertido en caricia inesperada desde otros confines, sentida entre la nuca y la espina dorsal. Lleva la agonía materializada en un sax implorante que aspira y expira a chorros fragmentos de eternidad. Bajo, voz, batería, teclados: representaciones de un ritmo que enhebra humanidad con linderos invisibles, intangibles, claramente expectantes.

This is such a sad song and at the same time hauntingly beautiful. Feels like something you lost along the way, never to be found again.
Well said...nice interpretation.
This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
Listen to "In spite of me" by the same band
This is what drinking alone sounds like.

What happened to Mark Sandman..? Who was he? All due respect.. I honestly don't know. This is the very first time of heard this song.

Same. Only Sulfjan Steven’s “4th of July” gets close.
Yep.
Perfect song.
Felt homesick for a place I have never been to while I'm listening to this song.

I never thought I would like the saxophone until I heard morphine. Amazing!! How good this sounds.

The relentless Nature of the arrow of time is brutal.
Nirvana and Morphine were the best bands of the 90s
This world was so much better with Mark in it.
Thank you for everything you gave us Mr Sandman.
This is my favourite song. Beautiful, haunting, stunning. 🥰
i don't care if I've left a comment here already. Any time I get drunk alone, I listen to this, and I feel....I just *feel*. That's enough.
Well it’s a deep reaching into the psyche
