This was supposed to be the morning blog post, but this song. and this version of it in particular, is far too majestically moody to squander in a morning post. This is music for when the sun goes down, when you’re either about to begin your evening out, or winding down for the end of it. It’s the stuff of dreamy nightclubs that may or may not exist in the real world – and if they do you can only find them around midnight.
When the veil between worlds is at its thinnest…
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It’s no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Night and day
These old photos go back a long way, probably to around 2008, a time period affectionately known as B.G. (Before Gray). I’m pretty sure they were taken in promotional service of ‘The Circus Project’ which is a dreamy sort of project if you think about it. Quite fitting for our season of the dream.
Day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic’s boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day
And now, as we enter into an uneventful Tuesday evening – a more dull and mundane Tuesday could not be conjured from the doldrums of average – we straddle the night and the day in a song and dance designed for a dream.
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There’s an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment won’t be through
’til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
