Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera
(Click here for the video clip)
For
those who have not heard this song before, be patient and listen to the first
3 minute of the song, and you will know why I love this song so much and also
why this is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's songs that have been most widely
recorded and were hits even outside of their parent musicals.
Those melodic and powerful operatic voice, that can have you transfix, and after that, have you yearn to hear them again and again. This is an eternal classic. |
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 dream
Purge your
thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your
eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you live
as you’ve never lived before
Softly,
deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel
it secretly possess you
Open up your
mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this
darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness
of the music of the night
Let your mind
start a journey to a strange new world
Leave all
thoughts of the life 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, savor 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
