I have a theory that Capital FM have never gone more than 45 minutes without playing this song, which hit number 24 when it was first released in 1998, not getting the glory it deserved until fully two years later when a 2000 re-release saw it becoming the third-biggest selling track of that entire year. Sonique was not prepared for that wormhole she fell into Tragically, that record remains her only solo album release which is an absolute disgrace really. If we didn’t already know that Hill was one of the most talented cats around from her work with The Fugees, she took it to another level (more from them later) with the release of the supreme The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which featured this absolutely eternal jam. Tell you what, the aliens would be pretty impressed with this too. Put a log, on the fi-yah and give it a spin and marvel at its majesty. It does not need words to explain why this song is amazing, for words will not do it justice. If nothing else that was good had happened in 1998 - if the world had endured a mass famine ending in a giant nuclear war which wiped out all life on Earth - then when the aliens arrive many millennia from now, they would have searched through the wreckage, pieced together a timeline, put this song on the only stereo which still worked and declared that 1998 must have been the greatest year in the history of the human race, for it saw the general worldwide release of ‘Save Tonight’.
Sadly, Des Lynam’s ’ If’, which reached number 45 in December, just missed out on the cut.Ĭlick here to listen to the whole lot on Spotify 1. However, despite a lack of an overlying musical narrative, this didn’t mean that there weren’t some absolutely huge bangers bestowed upon us by the musical gods (and just be thankful nu-metal didn’t go fully mainstream until 1999).įeast your ears on these beauties, which were released as long ago now as Chic’s disco classic ‘Le Freak’ was back in 1998. I’ll try though to keep it brief and mix it as well as possible and Save Tonight is one of my favourite covers.1998 which is now 20 BLOODY YEARS AGO, was a strange year in British music.īritpop was running on empty with Oasis lying low after the backlash to Be Here Now and Pulp moving on with the dark This is Hardcore. In pop, the Spice Girls were entering their final year before splitting with Christmas chart-topper ‘Goodbye’, while the dance scene offered up little new other than Fatboy Slim’s big beats. 1 min for each song, although that won’t be always possible due to each song’s structure.

MEANING SAVE TONIGHT EAGLE EYE CHERRY FULL
The solution is to make the best of that night “So take this wine and drink with me”, prolonging the time they had “let’s delay our misery” while admitting that his heart is full of regrets “But girl you know I’ve got to go Lord I wish wasn’t so”. The singer is supposed to leave the next day and this creates an emotional cascade of events: on his side “It ain’t easy to say goodbye”, while he advises his partner “Darlin’ please, don’t start to cry”.
This can be understood from the beginning of the chorus: “Save tonight and fight the break of dawn”. This song is about a simple yet meaningful romantic relationship and highlights that every second spent together by the couple should be cherished.
