about

Following the Malibu fires of 2018, which destroyed my sister’s home, and my father’s death that same year, I needed to find a form of renewed optimism and hope. Night Falls Again is the result of this need. This song reflects upon sights and sounds I recalled from my childhood hometown and my sister’s home. Although these sights and sounds were, and still are, greatly missed, in Night Falls Again, I ultimately realize subtle things that can help restore a person’s positive outlook on life following loss and tragedy.

2018年马里布大火烧毁了我姐姐的家，同年我的父亲去世，自此，我需要寻找一种让我重新可见乐观和希望的方式，于是就有了《Night Falls Again》。这首歌里，有我从童年家乡和姐姐被烧毁的家中回想起的画面和声音。尽管这些画面和声音曾经被，并且仍然已被错过，但我终于意识到了一些微妙的事，它们将帮助人们在面对失去和悲剧之后，重新燃起对生活的憧憬。

lyrics

Sittin’ and gazin’
坐在后屋阳台
off your back deck at night
凝望着黑夜降临
Leaves sway in the breeze
树叶在凉风中轻摆
Silent in the moonlight
月色如水
Stars float above
闪烁的星光下
My guitar moans its lonesome cowboy song
我的吉他低沉地奏出孤独的牛仔之歌

Hear that train call out
远处听到
somewhere in the night
列车的鸣笛
Hear the rhythm of the wheels
车轮声有节奏地
roll past the fields
飘过原野
Stars float above
闪烁的星光下
The engine wails its mournsome driftin’ song
发动机哀伤的曲调渐渐远去

Those scenes of yesterday
昨天的景色
all long gone now
已然消失
Fall swept em’ away
随秋风而去
Black ash on the ground
空留一片灰烬
Now the leaves fall again
如今秋叶又落
Paint it red, yellow, and brown
将地面染成红、黄、棕色

She’s draggin’ him, tryin’
她拽着他
to catch that 6:23
想赶上6:23那趟车
Boy waves, she smiles
小男孩挥手道再见，她露出微笑
Suddenly I can see
突然我发现
When the night falls again,
当黑夜降临
those stars are gonna watch over me
那些星星又会在头顶注视着我
When the night falls again,
当黑夜降临
those stars are gonna watch over me
那些星星又会在头顶注视着我
