Jackie Evancho - The Music Of The Night Lyrics






Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

Jackie Evancho The Music Of The Night Comments
  1. C.... L....

    At 3:05 Jackie demonstrates her natural ability to hit a high note effortlessly, with no visible evidence of strain and immediately executes the following phrase with delicacy. That indicates that her range exceeds what this song requires. Every video I've seen of child pop singers shows their faces distorted with the effort to belt out a high note. This performance by contrast is vocal artistry, control with finesse.

  2. A.... K....

    Why I wish YouTube support multi-like.

  3. P.... ....

    I didn't get chills, but when she hit those high notes, I got emotional! She's absolutely amazing!

  4. C.... L....

    At this time in Jackie's career, at age 12, there was concern about protecting her voice for the album (Songs of the Silver Screen) and this concert. Consequently, there are fewer demonstrations of her power and incredible high range. This is one of them. Nevertheless, the breadth of her talent is astonishing. The DVD of this concert for PBS Great Performances includes Jackie's introductions of every song and guest performer as her own MC.

  5. a.... a....

    LET HER PLAY THE ROLE!!!!!! Wow!!!!!

  6. R.... G....

    This is an incredible blend of passion, artistry and sweetness. Seriously, at any age, when Jackie sings Music of the Night, the world stands still.

  7. W.... L....

    If she competed on The Voice, she will win without a doubt.

  8. C.... w....

    We have heard many seasoned performers sing this on stage, and then along comes a 12 yr old young lady who pretty well outrages them all.

  9. m.... ....

    La voix d'un ange... que c'est beau !

  10. D.... R....

    Screw Christine Daae, *THIS* is the angel of music

  11. t.... ....

    I was there! You can see the back of my bald head third row, slightly left of center at 0:04. Absolutely amazing experience!

  12. P.... ....

    She looks like an adorable little Ellen with that blazer.

  13. O.... t....

    Fluttery yet greatly eerie, Jackie is definitely a great voice to hear for a rendition such as this

  14. S.... S....

    Close your eyes: 30 year old woman
    Open them: HUH!!!????!!???

  15. R.... ....

    Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
    Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
    Silently the senses abandon their defenses
    Helpless to resist the notes I write
    For I compose the music of the night
    Slowly, gently night unfurls it's splendor
    Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
    Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
    Hard as lightening, soft as candlelight
    Dare you trust the music of the night
    Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
    and the truth isn't what you want to see
    In the dark it is easy to pretend
    That the truth is what it ought to be
    Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
    hear it, fear it, secretly possess you
    Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
    In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
    The darkness…

  16. P.... A....

    Боги... Сколько, черт бы их всех побрал, ей лет?! Ее голос, как ее личико, - чистый, милый, прекрасный, невинный и невероятно звенящий! О боги... Эта девочка - нечто.

  17. B.... C....

    This song was part of her very beginnings as the cross over queen she has become..

  18. S.... L....

    She should've worn the phantom mask while singing this

  19. M.... M....

    Absolutely stunning😍! A true GEM 💎! We aren’t deserving of her greatness ❤️

  20. �.... ....

    高音綺麗で特にすき
    低音は穏やかですき

    =ジャッキーエヴァンコさん最高

  21. I.... B....

    J. Evancho - Мастер тихого тембра, завораживающе действуют на меня ее медленные тихие фразы, так никто в мире не пел из ЖЕНЩИН, а из мужчин разве что на такой скорости читает slow phrases Снуп дог
    Может я преувеличиваю, но мне это сильно нравится
    Счастливое лицо Jackie Evancho поднимает настроение,
    проницательный, понимающий, взгляд ,голос успокаивает да что там, красотка каких мало
    Вряд ли она прочитает что я написал

  22. C.... C....

    Lindo. Linda, lindíssima. Pretty voice and pretty girl

  23. s.... m....

    I watch this every day. So good can't stop.

  24. T.... S....

    Bless you Jackie🌹your amazing voice fills my heart with sooo much love...you are truly amazing and adorable!

  25. B.... B....

    What theater is this? I absolutely love it

    B.... B....

    Orpheum Theatre - Los Angeles

  26. M.... G....

    Wow she looks 12 years old here, magical voice

    M.... G....

    Yep, 12 years old here and carried the whole concert by herself, even acted as her own MC. Her second concert for PBS Television. Her first one , 'Dream With Me', she was only 11.

  27. B.... C....

    What a joy this now young woman has given her fans and the world in the last 9 years starting when she was 10.. now almost 19. Jackie is just such a great person at heart and her soul soars to all corners of the world and Heavens above, taking us along for a wonderful magical musical tour everytime she sings..

  28. T.... A....

    Shes def a prodigy! Amazing!

  29. K.... H....

    I've had the pleasure of seeing Jackie perform in Boston 3 years ago and just recently in Beverly and her voice and stage presence is so wonderful. What a gift she has her voice is so nice and she can hit high and low notes. She is such a wonderful young lady! Hope to keep seeing her perform for a long time.

  30. P.... T....

    Just ..wow .

  31. s.... R....

    Mind blowing voice

    s.... R....

    shaik vaseem search for Jackie Evancho A Time for Us

  32. B.... K....

    This is pure magic!

  33. D.... K....

    This is a virtual performance that should have been seen by America on Monday February 4th. On AGT:THE CHAMPIONS! Not the shameful edited version shown. My question is one that will never be answered. Did the Super Fans see the edited version or an unedited one that was witnessed live by the theater audience and judges?

    D.... K....

    If the edited out parts were because she struggled with nerves or emotion then that might justify it. But if it's because she nailed her high notes and extended finish (which is more likely) then they edited them out to justify not advancing her. Also explains why she was put in the last group using too many singers had advanced already as another reason. Seems like they set it up to get the acts with the biggest fan following in the final 5.

    D.... K....

    @R D Those who will advance are chosen by corporate marketing stiffs weeks before they mail the first invitations. That's why she was time edited. They also realize she is their top talent and classes up the place. That's why she was the guest appearance in the finals.

  34. A.... S....

    I regreted that i had not known her earlier....such a great singer... It has been a long time I have not heard such a beautiful voice. Anyway, congrats Jackie Evancho. You are truly a pure singer.

  35. A.... W....

    Ihre Stimme zupft an einer Saite meiner Seele und berührt mich tief! Jahrhundert-Stimme! Schade, dass man in Deutschland so gut wie nichts von ihr hört!

  36. J.... D....

    I hope AGT Champions lets us vote.

    J.... D....

    @R D I can believe it. But it's fun to pretend fans have a say in any of it. My guess is Susan Boyle will "win" this round of AGT.

    J.... D....

    @John Doe More likely Darci Lynne. Jackie needed to learn to either work with puppets, dance around playing the violin while singing, play the ukulele while singing in a raspy voice, or mock opera singing then 1/2 way through scream some heavy metal to catch the attention of today's pop culture crowd. Having the most beautiful singing voice ever just doesn't cut it. She needed a 'novelty' or a sad backstory or both.

    J.... D....

    Seems like they're fazing Jackie out of their stable. I posted a comment on AGT's Youtube video that Jackie is still the biggest selling music artist from AGT and still has the most views for her finals performance. AGT deleleted my comment.

    J.... D....

    @R D Just don't let yourself feel too bitter about it. I think Jackie herself would put it this way: "It's show business." The strongest people come back to these shows because they know there is no such thing as bad publicity. If Jackie decide she was done with touring today, I think she and her family could live pretty comfortably on her current success. I hope she knocks it out of the park during this Champions series, but honestly, I think Simon Cowell has probably pre orchestrated this whole thing. I do think Jackie will be among the final acts, Cowell really can't afford to not have her there..

    J.... D....

    @John Doe I know it's all business for Cowell and his decisions are based on what he feels is best to further the success of his 'Got Talent' franchise. It's still sad to see them cast aside someone who gave them such a huge boost at a time when they needed it. I suppose them giving Jackie 4 guest appearances plus including her on the 'Champions' show was enough payback for Cowell.

  37. E.... U....

    Techically 100% correct but needs more soul,more emotions!

    E.... U....

    She was 12 yrs old, silly.

    E.... U....

    What more emotion could she give out from there? Truly silly! Crazy too!

    E.... U....

    And another idiot has escaped from the asylum. 🙄😩

  38. I.... n....

    me encanta descubre mi espiritud gracias por existir jackie....

  39. N.... C....

    God's example of His perfection. Thank you Jackie for sharing your gift with the world.

  40. J.... A....

    Amazing voice....just amazing....

  41. p.... ....

    Beautiful little girl with a very beautiful voice and technique that is out of this world.

  42. D.... L....

    Another GORGEOUS song from this precious Angel!👼 Listening Nov. 9, 2018. You bring such JOY to my heart sweet Jackie.💖 May God continue to bless your life and your family too.🙏

  43. C.... J....

    jackie and amira are jealous of laura because laura is better than them two. laura is the queen of opera.

    C.... J....

    LOL you really need to get your ears checked.

    C.... J....

    @Celine Johnston Jackie has said hundreds of times she never was, and never will be, an Opera singer. Evancho is "Classical Crossover", and on the same musical path as Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. If you think "Phantom of the Opera" is Opera, then you have major perception issues. For the record, by far the best young "Traditional Opera" singer in the world today is Patricia Janeckova; both Laura and Amira will need a lot of lessons and practice time to catch up with Patka.

    C.... J....

    Close your windows, something's getting into your brain and causeing lunicy.

    C.... J....

    Always one in the crowd. Silly

    C.... J....

    @tunanorth
    Boy, you are Definitely right about Paťka!... 💖

    She and Jackie are the Absolute best at what they do, and I Very much doubt that either of them is jealous of Anyone. And that original commenter you replied to is about as ignorant as they come... the classic "YouTube expert".

  44. D.... A....

    And still, it remains as one of my most favourite performances of Jackie!

  45. S.... M....

    Filmite > la 13-an de juni' en 2012..

  46. M.... K....

    I would pay to see her sing this as a duet with Michael Crawford, the original Phantom.

    M.... K....

    I still am predicting that Jackie will someday be the first female Phantom. It would be epic.

  47. m.... e....

    この歌声を生で聴いてみたい人生だった、、、引き込まれます。

  48. C.... C....

    She. Is. Amazing 🎤🎼🎧🎹🎻🎬👩🏻‍🎤

  49. R.... D....

    I've just recently seen this girl perform this song live at 18 years old . Her voice is even more spectacular now. She has lost nothing in her range. In fact it is now easier for her to hit both the high and low notes. She has more power now with the same beautiful tone and timbre in her voice. People speculating on her perceived decline are clueless. Go see her in concert and you'll see it for yourselves. She is phenomenal.

    R.... D....

    "They, Born For Greatness, Gifted...Achieve It!" 😊😊😊

    R.... D....

    True. Even better, she has more maturity in singing and performing in my opinion.

  50. C.... W....

    I was 7 years old when I watched you preform on AGT. At the time, I had no idea what Youtube even was, so it was the first time I heard u sing, and I was amazed. And I was reminded of you today, so I looked up your Youtube channel to see how u've turned out, and I am both impressed, and happy that I, and everyone else who watched you that night, were right about you. I yelled at my mom to grab her phone and vote for you imediately after I got over my shock. I remember that u said something about singing Phantom Of The Opera songs a lot when u were younger (after I finally watched it, I did the same), and now I finally hear u sing one of the best Phatom songs. Keep it up Jackie. Don't ever change.

  51. D.... S....

    Impeccable performance but her voice has lost some range now that she is an adult.

    D.... S....

    David S. Did you not see the Attesa video

    D.... S....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6SRBnDHx8 She does not sing classical often yet does a better job at her singing. Listen to her very last note!

  52. B.... P....

    Sometimes, late at night , when I hear her sing, it all makes sense to me,,,,,,

  53. B.... K....

    Amazing for an 12 year old! She is perfect!

    B.... K....

    Brad Jackie will turn 19 years old 4/9/19! time flys. Yes she is totally amazing/awesome!

  58. s.... c....

    What a wonderful voice!~

  59. f.... ....

    beautiful interpretation of Jackie

  60. F.... J....

    Hearing songs from my favourite musical movie from Jackie bringing tears into my eyes... I love it ...

    F.... J....

    Eirun De Virot I agree ,this is pure joy.. I wonder if Jackie ever could sing the whole fantom of the opera ...I wish.She is grown to that role , and there is a plenty of male singers to be a fantom to support her. Andrew Loyd Webber hello! :-)

  61. C.... T....

    Oh, Jackie, you total darl'n.

  62. k.... ....

    Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
    Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
    Silently the senses abandon their defenses
    Helpless to resist the notes I write
    For I composed the music of the night

    Slowly, gently night unfurls it's splendor
    Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
    Turn your face away from the garrish light of day
    Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
    And listen the music of the night.

    Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
    Put your thoughts off the life you knew before
    Close your eyes, let your sprit start to sore
    And you'll live as you've never lived before.

    Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
    hear it, fear it, secretly possess you
    Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
    In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
    The darkness of the music of the night

    Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world
    Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
    Close your eyes and let music set you free
    Only then can you belong to me

    Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
    Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
    Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
    To the power of the music that I write
    The power of the music of the night

    You alone can make the song take flight
    Help me make the music of the night
