This songs makes me imagine myself roaming in a quiet empty street at night (under stars, lonely houses) with this feeling that everything is possible. Walking at night alone, hopeful about the future, eager for what is to come (doesn't the Velvet Underground sing "what comes is better than what came before", in I found the reason?). I think the song describes those moments when we're full of the feeling of wanting to start new things (new moons in the alley and its madness calls to me), of a certain joyful impatience for devoting ourselves to things that we consider important. The song is about one moment (tonight, tonight, tonight) when we rediscover in us the ability to covet things, to be passionate. And no one can take that feeling from us (don't you try and stop me, I cling tightly to this life). The best song in Blacklisted, in my opinion, and very well sung by Neko Case.
