about
The intro melody goes back as far as 2001. I wrote the lyrics in 2004 and Susanne helped me piecing together the parts in the summer of that year, right after the release of our first demo CD "Sunrise". The song is a bit more sullen than the rest of our material. But I really like how it turned out in the end, its atmosphere subtle yet intense.
lyrics
A crowded room, a red confession
Whose night is it anyway?
A sweet perfume, a glimpse of passion
Whose night is it anyway?
I heard those words before
I'll say them now once more
Been through this all before
Just the faces change
A first embrace filled with desire
Whose night is it anyway?
Through the haze two hearts conspire
Whose night is it anyway?
Don't really know what for
Emotions render sore
Been through this all before
Just the faces change
We spend the night pretending we're lovers
Whose night is it anyway?
A soft goodbye I reach for the covers
Whose night is it anyway?
The mirror by the door
Reflects the clothes I wore
Been through this all before
Just the faces change
Silence remains
No number to call
No meaning at all
I don't even know your name
Know your name
