Long night This is what it all comes to Oh, long night This is what we all go through Oh, long night Another friend is gone Oh, long night Leaving us to carry on Death is a mighty uniter The defeat that comes to every fighter Live on--the dawn will be brighter Live on, live on, live on Long night Let me be with you Oh, long night I feel you need it too Oh, long night Rolling in each other's arms Oh, long night Keep each other safe from harm War is a mighty uniter The night can only make it tighter Live on--the dawn will be brighter Live on, live on, live on Long night This is what it all comes to Oh, long night This is what we all go through Oh, long night Another friend is gone Oh, long night Leaving us to carry on Death is a mighty uniter The defeat that comes to every fighter Live on--the dawn will be brighter Live on, live on, live on Live on, live on, live on Long night Long night Long night Long night Long night! |

04 Apr 00 - 10:58 AM (#206520) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Long Night From: Willie-O Liner notes: This song was written by Dave Panting as a tribute to the legendary Newfoundland fiddle player Emile Benoit. When Emile died a few years ago, he got one hell of a wake from all the younger Newfoundland musicians whom he had mentored, inspired and just been a great friend to. Far into that night, it occurred to Dave that Emile was entering into the longest night of his life...that's what he says in concert. Rawlins Cross is on their farewell tour this year, be sure to catch them if you can. A great blend of Newfoundland spirit, singing and musicianship, with excellent original songs. I'm sure gonna miss them coming around. Thanks Meebo. Willie-O |

I heard it performed live years ago and it was far better than the YT linked above... Joey held the key note for twice as long as a human could do so and reverberated the entire playhouse... amazing.... powerful.... tear jerking. It all fit... the pipes, the Hran, the.. all of it. Perfect. An adjunct... at the live performance I attended, Joey said... after the phone call advising that Emile (check out "Vive la Rose") had passed, the lyrics were written in twenty minutes. |
