When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all the madness has got you going crazy,
It's time to get out
Step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet
Well, I know a place where we can dance the whole night away
Underneath the electric stars
Just come with me, and we can shake it loose right away
You'll be doing fine once the music starts, oh

Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
'Cause you can leave them all behind
Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, rhythm of the night

Look out on the street, now, the party's just beginning
The music's playing, a celebration's starting
Under the streetlights, the scene is being set
A night for romance, a night you won't forget
So come join the fun, this ain't no time to be staying home
There's too much going on
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long

Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
'Cause you can leave them all behind
Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, rhythm of the night

I know a place where we can dance the whole night away
Underneath the electric stars
Just come with me, and we can shake it loose right away
You'll be doing fine once the music starts, oh

Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
'Cause you can leave them all behind
Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, rhythm of the night

    No comments on this? Great song which reminds of the happier days of block parties in the 80's. Nice carefree beat.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
