about

Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal draw inspiration from Bay Area Psychedelic soul and Stax-era funk in “The Night.” Using punchy horn lines and pulsating rhythm guitar, the song is a steady build as Hoyer challenges listeners in “letting the evening become the night.” The lyrics reference taking the time to let all of life’s challenges and frustrations dissipate while the night takes you for a ride. This is the lead single off an upcoming full-length record to be released on Color Red in 2020.

lyrics

Everyone that I know has had hard luck
Everyone that I meet could be stronger
I think we need some relief from the pressure
Just some light, to see us through

Everyone has demons in the mirror
Some cry out for everything to be clearer
I'd give almost anything to be near her
Just some love, to see me through

There comes a time to just lay it down
We all need to breathe sometimes
Oh, let the spirit fill you, and let the evening become the night

You see I've been haunted through every season
I have searched and found every reason
I want to let the flood in and make peace with the truth
To see it through

Some many peoples lives are painful
Is it yourself or your God should be shameful?
Well, ask all day long, but when the rain falls
Only Joy will see you through

There comes a time to just lay it down
We all need to breathe sometimes
Oh, let the spirit fill you, and let the evening become the night
Let the evening become the night
Let the evening become the night
