When the night is closing
Eyes are running wild
When I hear you humming
All night long
The sign I see it
Tell me am I true
All I need from you is
All I see
This city's paved with cold
Playboys buying fun
Seems there is no hunter left
Without his hunting gun
Can you feel the light?
The air is wild open
Oh, you see the light it's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Oh, your see-saw smile
Lasts me all night long
Like a siren's curl
When the night is long
Now, come hold my hand
No bad vibe hearts
Hold my hand, you know
This journey could be long
Yeah, the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights, we'll see them through
Ah, no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through
(Belle)
(Une rose qui a joue son role)
(Mon Miroir)
(Mon clef d'or)
(Mon cheval)
(Et mon gant sont les cinq secrets de ma puissance)
Now, hold my hand
No bad vibe hearts
(Je voulais livrer)
(Il vous suffira de mettre ce gant)
(A votre main droite)
(Il vous transportera ou vous desirez l'etre)
When the night has come in
Your eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
Yeah, the sign I see it
Yeah, the times I see it
All I need to know from you
Is all I see
Can you feel the light?
The air is wild, open
Oh you see the light
It's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Yeah, the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights, we'll see them through
Ah, no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through

truly great tune
every time i see the album cover i can't unsee Macaulay Culkin, as another commenter mentioned prior.
regardless, i love this song. i was late getting introduced to his music - probably mid 90s when someone turned me on to him. hearing this takes me back to then every time.

I suspect Peter stuck to his artistic vision too much to be top 40 commercially successful. On the other hand, he was popular enough that he got to actually do what he wanted to do. I'm guessing this is a very rewarding "sweet spot" for an artist to be in.

Mr Murphy has the trinity looks, voice, talent> that usually creates a level of commercial success much higher than he has achieved. I wonder if that's intentional on his part or just some misfortunate juju.

I like Bauhous, Dali's Car, and a good bit of Murphy's other stuff, but this song would gag a maggot.
I can think of 3,739,014 songs I'd rather hear than this one.

Great song, definitely better than what its rated at, minimum 8 from me.
Sounds a lot like the Canadian band Chalk Circle

I'd give every last Peter Murphy song a 10 I'm such a hardcore fan (and hope he's all recovered from that recent heart episode in NYC) but for the fact that, as a young impressionable person under his music-spell, one expected all romantic encounters (when actually young and impressionable) to be just like this song.

Late 80's NYC - saw Peter Murphy open for the Church - he killed it. One year later saw Nine Inch Nails open for Peter Murphy - they killed it. Just goes to show ya, never discount that opening act.

Why is Macaulay Culkin on the album cover?
So 1988 and great 80's genre.
Yes, the season is turning. Today.
Awesome Peter!
Great song, great album...a true original.
Outstanding song imo (Halloween's coming, we'll likely hear Bauhaus's Bela Lugosi's Dead - Yay : )
If PM's "Indigo Eyes" and "Dragnet Drag" could be added, that would be wonderful... The_Enemy wrote:

Just saw PM this last month, so good. Have been fan since Bauhaus. Met a twenty something that was introduced to him through that NIN show and she is now an uber fan. So fun to see a newbe falling for something so dear in ones heart from my own "child hood" Thank you Bill!

Hello, you were right about the 80s sound. "All Night Long" came out in 1988 on Love Hysteria.

Is this channelling the 80s bigtime, or what? I was surprised to see a 2011 release date for this song. Does anyone know who the French guy is who's been sampled in the background?

Surely this song warrants a rating greater than a 6.6!! And no, good people, I am not calling any of you Shirley (unless that is your actual name)!!

Amazing song. Incredible album, next to Deep. Always wanted to hear more Peter Murphy, especially his new stuff. Great video too. Very noir with shoutouts to Cocteau.

He did not. Love and Rockets is a alternative comic series by the Hernandez brothers and a band formed out of the remains of Bauhaus by Daniel Ash and David J.

Thank God for that, almost had to use the PSD button. Thought it was going to be Tracy Chapman.

Best of the 1980's. Got that arty, intellectual zing.
And speaking of best of the '80s, RP should do a special feature weekly show on the '80s, with all those songs that may not work very well on their own, like "Der Kommisar".

Peter Murphy, I now need to see bela lugosi's dead on youtube again, sums up the extraordinary 80's vibe and pulse I feel, just hearing his name man.
That portrait sketch is cool too
(also, super retch during that paul mccartney drivel RP just played, this helped clear the air after that crap, gracias)

Peter Murphy. Yowza. I used to turn all the lights off, light candles and incense, and do my stretches to "Cuts You Up." He's kinda awesome.

Any song played after that horrible Tom Waits crap should get a 10 just by comparison.

You're misinformed. First, Peter Murphy was in Bauhaus, one of the most influential expiremental alternative bands ever, and not big hair. Yes, on occasion they were theatrical and sported some odd hairdos but that was not at all what they were all about, and cannot be defined as one of the stereotypical mindless big hair bands of the '80's. Second, his solo stuff, he's mostly sporting stylish shorter hair and it's alternative rock songwriting, nothing to do with Flock of Seagulls or Poison or any kind of big hair bands of the '80's. If anything, his history is the antithesis of big hair bands— substance and musical exploration within a pop format.
Ok, you now can return to hating this music, documentary over, and I will continue to enjoy it and his spectacular career.

Ho hum .. another Peter Murphy song .. I'd really like to say "it all sounds the same after Bauhaus" .. which it does .. but he's got such a fabulous voice that I can't complain at all.

Just something I really like about Peter Murphy's voice. Maybe not fantastic, but a very, very nice tone and lyrics that are actually quite decent.

This is pretty awful. Sounds like he's trying to be like the Fixx.

Try this link (click here)
This is HORRIBLE!
The music (not the voice) really reminds of some classic 'Killing Joke'-songs....

I've always liked the Peter Murphy sound. This one sounds a bit like an attempt to write a top ten moneymaker though. It's a bit watered down. I'm posting a 6.
God I love this man's voice 
And to think he fronted Bauhaus before moving on to his solo work. This is so far removed from Bela Lugosi's Dead. I've always like his work in both bands.

I don't dispute the factoid on the Maxell ad, but it's still hard for me to believe that he ever had that much hair. It only seems fair for him to be as folliclely-challenged as he seems. 
Wiki says he was the model in the UK version, not the US version of which we are all thinking. So you are safe - he *is* as follicularly-challenged as you thought. Plus he lives in Turkey.
"Peter Murphy was the model for Maxell's UK "Blown Away Guy" ad campaign which ran in the 1980s, with its tagline of "Sentence your cassette to life." Despite the rumor, he's not the younger model in the omnipresent US edition of the campaign."
Lionel Ritchie's version of "All Night Long" is better.
right after the stones' "Rock off"? Bill must hate this poor guy ...
Feel so seduced by the album cover image of him. Will I be able to resist the animal allure? Oooh Peter!

I've had the poster shown below for years and just today sent it out to be framed for our listening room. It's pretty big (about 3'X6') and should add an intersting touch to the room.
I thought this old Maxell commercial was long forgotten..

And the most amazing cheekbones! He was THE model for the Maxell ad from the 70's known as "blown away" -- look up the image on Google, it's a great pic. I've wanted it as a poster for years........
I thought he was sitting in a Bauhaus style chair, maybe a slightly different picture.
Its not - Bella Lugosi's Dead
But its his best album (I think its from about 1992)
Bauhaus was an amazing band that produced some very important music and fashion that has carried over today.
Tones on Tail
Love and Rockets
Peter Murphy
Amazing music and very diverse all from the same band
Thanks RP for playing this
