Noah And The Whale - Tonight's The Kind Of Night Lyrics
There's a boy with his head
Pressed up to the window
Of a bus heading out of town
In his breath on the glass
He draws with his finger
Circles of street lights
Are the only signal
That there's people out there in the black
He waves goodbye, to the town he grew up in
He knows that he'll never come back
The night outside is five below
His heart is pumping blood
On his lips a perfect smile
His eyes begin to flood
Because tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
The rumble strip clack
And the rattling frame
Beat out a pulse on his head
The engine hums, a humble tune
A melody of rubber and lead
Under lamp light glow
And paradise stars
An infinity of dancing white light
He sees that his debt
Is to experience only
And not to those who'd plan out his life
The night outside is five below
The moon is in the sky
His heart is full of perfect joy
He whispers his goodbye
Because tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
And tonight he's not gonna come back home
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
Ohhh
Ohhh
Oh tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change

Noah And The Whale Tonight's The Kind Of Night Comments
This song is a rip off of a Jimmy Buffet song 'He Went To Paris' (the verse not the chorus)
Why the hell doesn't this have more views, swear I've listened to it a good 500 hundred times over the years
Great tune
What a banging tune :-) They need way more exposure than theyre getting...
You guys are awesome
Greetings from Mexico
Such a feel good tune and a very underrated band!!
Fantastic song
verses like Joy Division 'Love will tear us apart' and the chorus chords sound like 'Baba O'Riley' by the Who. And it's amazing
Gives me hope to move on
Not nearly as likes or views as Counting stars OneRupublic
Essa banda é fantástica. Sem dúvida alguma, o som deles é esplêndido.
Oh I do love this song - gives me so much hope - everyone is entitled to dream a little...
even squirtle?
+cfcsteve86 even squirtle
baba oreilly chords during chorus
Love this! Such a great band! Please check out my campaign for the release of NATW's first two albums onto vinyl! www.facebook.com/NATWVinyl
This song reminds me of Bob Dylan's " She belongs to me" He has a similar speaking /singing style like Lou Reed. Great track
I honestly can't find a band I like more!
OneRupublic i luv mor
Great catchy song. Great imagery.
Sounds similar to; 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', by Joy Division
Sounds like barba o Ryley
@Adam Dixon
Agreed!
Any votes on Joy Division?
+r0yVV I have listened to this over & over & I can't hear Baba O'Reilly at all,lol, but I can hear Joy Division!
I like their lyrics but I think the singing is awful and just so irritating.
@musicmad86 As you get older, age, your opinion on the singing will change. Trust me.
Musical taste is based off of preference, not age or any other factor. Trust me.
@Ben walemen Possibly, yes true, I can't argue with that. And time will tell, as somethings change, and some don't.
@Ben walemen crikeyman. . .is based 'on' preference, prepositions are important
@Paulfieldz Good man.
I love the writing style of this band. Kinda gives you those hopeful goosebumps . Great band
Sure!!!! 😁😁
Agreed man
Did Noah and the Whale take inspiration from The Who's "Baba O'riley" for this track because I'm sure I can hear similarities between the two, or is it just me? Love their upbeat vibe, cant wait to hear more! :D
Me too! haha
I know what your talking about...the piano bit in the back sounds a lot like from Baba O'riley :D
Sounds a little like Badlands by Bruce Springsteen too. This is a great song!
There are also similarities between this and Bob Seger - The Fire Inside
77 people don't like the feeling of constant musical emotion...freeks
Darn freeks! D<:
This is the best song in the world when it comes on and its the kind of night when everything can change :)
New favorite song! This band has become a favorite.
the biggest tragedy about this song is that it came out at the sameish time as the black eyed peas Ive gotta feeling, containing the line 'tonight's the night' and, whilst that's a reasonable song, when I'm overseas or anywhere slightly slow musically and ask for it, they get it wrong and put that on which is SOOOOOO annoying....i think they should re-release it...
Where can I get the rac remix I cannot find it anywhere
Why are there so many comments about obama on this video?? Not exactly relevant
is that Gareth Bale on the singer??? LoL
Amen to that
Positivus<3!!!!
Because they are the most sympathic and melancholic band on earth! :*
I will always associate this video with looking up when Magneto died. (The Polaris time. You know the time I mean.)
Oh man! I missed this song!
I am going to kill myself because I can't see the comment, so thanks. We are done. Yes, my picture is of crocs.
the most underrated tune in ages!
Noah Make My Life Better :)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Tonnight.................................
Lets be friends :) lol
Well thats a bit small minded :/
Many songs use this chord pattern in this rhythm, it's just more obvious in this one.
These guys are awesome .....
Sorry to break it to you but have a listen to Baby O'riley by the Who
Just a downright brilliant song :)
How the people tink One Direction is the best music right now???? Noah And The Whale is awesome :)
it obviously said "I'm here for Obama"
aarghggggh, I can't stand it when there is a comment you can't read cause it's deleted. I am too curious, show meeee!
looove them
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change...
I didn't vote for George Bush. He was a freaking rhino, and he didn't do a damn thing about Terri Schiavo. Believe it or not I'd actually love for Obama to do well and for America to prosper under him, but I just haven't seen that happening. Oh and by the way, Donald Trump offered to give $5 Million to Obama's charity of choice if the president released his college transcripts, but he wouldn't do it. That suggests that either he has something to hide, or he's just not particularly charitable.
Obama "doubled the national debt"? All on his own? You really are easily fooled. You even believe the myth about his citizenship. No wonder people like you elected George W. Bush to be the most powerful person in the world...you are largely clueless, and fall for propaganda. Chicken licken would be SO proud of your inability to discern fact from fiction and make rational judgements. Anyway, this is a music vid, so it's a pity the comments became so political.
On the contrary, Obama has done loads of things! Like doubling our national debt and spending more tax-payer dollars in one term than all the previous presidents put together! That's hardly doing nothing; give the guy some credit will ya? He promised change, and people were just dumb enough to believe he meant change for the better. He's not even a born citizen, so legally he shouldn't be president, but here he is, serving a second term. Way to go America. The Founding Fathers would be SO proud.
This song
Is Justin Lee Collins on guitar?
My great taste in music brought me here :)
cuz he clearly has excellent taste in music
yes... but I can't help but correct you. It's 'you're'... sorry
:)
This was in his musical playlist...
sorta sounds like baba o'riley by the who at the chorus
I agree with you. What does politics have to do with a great song like this?
What does that have to do with this epic song?
because this song became popular when people discover obama had it on his playlist in spotify
Obama has done nothing for this damn country...he just sits his lazy ass in the white house
I'm not sure. The music he had at the white house and the performers he had seemed kind of like Noah and The Whale
Whoops! *is
Disgrace that there us an LMFAO ad before this. THIS us real music
I can totally picture Obama dancing to this in the White House..
you're welcome wasabi pandaa :D
i love your username.
this is fantastic
Actually, the chorus does have some of the piano part from Baba O'Riley. So the answer is yes.
ily Barack Obama! <3
ye im sure he chooses his own campaign music...
he also brought america to shit with his ersatz "change".
Then you've clearly not listened to it. Or you're not being objective. Probably both.
not really no.
Baba O'Riley much?
"tonights the kind the night where everything can change" not realy a good song if you wona be re elected
This was put up on my birthday and I love it c:
FUCK OBAMA FUCK POLITICS THIS IS MUSIC PEOPLE DONT FUCK THE ONLY GOOD THING UP
Such a familiar pattern on the upholstery. Lends authenticity to the authorship.
I ♥ That song
xx
go charlie fink obama knows who you are!
I know so many people write things like this,but I promise on my life that I mean what I’m about to say more then anything. Im Rebecca Shelley and music is my passion. I’ve worked so hard, busking for the money to buy my instruments, and I have now started to put videos of myself singing, violin+guitar playing on you tube and it would mean everything to me just to have some views and to know people appreciate my music. Just taking a moment of your time could make my dreams come true.Thank you :)
then you desperately need to sort out your priorities! honestly.
Hey I don't really know about American politics my good sir. I just am pretty well informed about good music. ;)
fuck you you uneducated douchebag. people like you are the reason why this world is going down the gutter. how about you get some political awareness? or is that to much for your little shit brain to handle?
fuck obama! he's a warmongering knobhead who continoues and even introduces one unjust policy after another. though you're kinda right, obama does mean change. change for the worse, that is!
thx barack :)
As someone else pointed out... somewhere... it's not called "Teenage Wasteland." It's called "Baba O'Riley." :)
great song, yet the music of the chorus is pretty similar to "baba o'riley" by the who
I'm not sure if the chorus sounds so familiar because I've heard this song before, or if it is actually similar to another song. Hmm..
Great song though.
Paic brought me here
Come on, man. You've just gotta learn to live a little! I understand, it's your buisness and all, but it's the internet. You're gonna end up getting nailed like this. Good day, sir.
@urname125 It also sounds like Love will Tear us Apart by Joy Division
Has anyone else realised that the actor in this vid is the same one from blink 182-after midnight video?? Just saying :P
indie fucking shit music
You are correct, its sounds very similar.
