This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
There's something inside you boy
But you're still the same
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
You're talking about you boy, but
You're still the same
Eh, yeah yeah
Tell you how
Tell you how
Tell you how, oh
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel and how I feel
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
There's something inside you boy
But you're still the same
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
You're talking about you boy, but
You're still the same
Eh, yeah yeah
Tell you how
Tell you how
Tell you how, oh
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel and how I feel

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think Nightcall can be interpreted as a breakup song. But I like to think of it as a completely different issue. It’s perhaps the most tortured feeling. It’s about two people who are in love but can’t be together. I think it’s perhaps a guy and a girl who are friends, but she’s going out with his best friend. Or brother. Or something. Neither of them want to hurt that person but inevitably they will because they both know they’re made for each other. Metal and Dust follows on from this: when the decision is made, it could be the death of all three relationships. The love and lust involved in all three will disappear.
@Lewjay1993 I find this a good idea as this is a cover from Kalvinsky which is featured in Drive - where the protagonist and lead female have a similar relationship to which you describe and it ultimately ends it travesty.
I don't think this song is about breakup or an impossible relationship. To me it sounds like the speaker is showing the second person a dark secret she never showed anyone before"I'm gonna show you where i'ts dumped, but have no fear" The speaker is sure the other person will be shocked/frightened by what she is going to show him, but she also tells him not to be afraid. Why not? The phrase"but you're still the same" implies that, since there must be something different, the speaker has changed. It was a sudden realization, because she called him at night, it means it has to be something of vital importance which cannot wait till the next day. Now there is the question what caused the sudden realization of the speaker. There is the strange phrase"They're talking about you, boy, but you're still the same" So what the other people said about him made her notice her feelings towards him and that he is the only person she feels close enough to to let him know her secret. It might be a bit too far-fetched, but it could also be possible there were rumors of a crime he committed and she urgently needed to tell him she was the one who did it. However, she is telling him she loves him and wants him to accept her dark past which she now plans to leave behind.
@empty64 I agree with you. It seems much deeper than a love story.
It’s not “Night Call”, it’s “NightCall” (call associated with dread), is about toying with one's emotions, to invoke extreme lust. Don’t look towards the literal meaning of the words, instead pay attention to how they make you feel, it's essence, invocation of desire, through fear and anticipation of it.
It's an ingenious song, truly a master stroke ;)
thanks Sony, I heard this in your advertisement and love it, Yup
PS: good cover
It sounds coming clean about how you truly feel, no holds barred, being vulnerable late night, possibly after some liquid courage..and finally able having the drunk courage to say how you really feel to someone.. she doesn’t know what to expect, whether it will be good or bad, if he even notices her still ? Or for the first time? Or again? She knows he will be honest with her, she can always depend on him for that.

It's a song about reincarnation. The feeling that you know someone before.
Ominously beautiful song.
Im gonna tell you something you don't want to hear, I'm gonna show you where it's dumped but have no fear. I give LG much more credit than to imagine its about a body in the trunk, more willing to imagine that it's analogous of the inevitable unease.
