Simon, Carly - In The Still Of The Night Lyrics

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌹🌻🌺🌷

Today I watched a programme in which four young singers performed this song in Roselyn Chapel. Their voices were ethereal in one of the most stunning arrangements I'd ever heard. They certainly made you realise that it was "the still of the night".

As a result, I have spent an enjoyable hour or so listening to other versions. Though good, many were more like 4:30 on a wet afternoon..."let's cheer everyone up with a jolly sing-a-long". This, on the other hand, makes me feel the chill of a dark, moonlit night, the window open, the moon drifting slowly across the sky. Ms Simon's voice suggests a fire crackling in the room, a drink to hand (gin and tonic for me), and the confusion of an uncertain love. She is not singing the words, it's as if she is living the words, but what should I expect from the inimitable Carly Simon?

This is the best version that I've found, even pushing the divine Ella Fitzgerald into a somewhat distant 2nd place. Wonderful!

Carly's vocal quality is in a class by itself. What a magnificent rendition of Cole Porter's classic. Beautiful arrangement, perfect interpretation, and the perfection of Carly's tonal quality, timing and unmistakable sound she possesses makes this song just as fresh and new, as if it were written yesterday. What a talented woman. Love you, Carly, and all the beautiful music you have brought us throughout the years.

The arranger did this classic justice.... Masterfully crafted

This is a less romantic and sentimental generation ~

This classic music is performed very well by Carly Simon. You can't beat this classic music from the big band era. Carly's smooth velvet voice was made for these songs. You never get tired of listening to her singing these songs from yester year. I wish young people liked music like this today.

So excellent Carly Simon does

Bela interpretação dessa que é uma das canções mais lindas que Cole Porter compôs..

It's now a little before 4AM. There's no better time of the night for this recording. None.

i like it

Such a lovely flow!

One of my all-time favorite albums

All the singers you are!

Lindo.....

How lovely to hear a performer retaining the original melody and rhythm of such a magic classic! Carly is right up there with the best of America's great female vocalists!

Beautiful song, my dreams come true, could listen to this all night.

That's Lovely

Carly, love everything CARLY

Carly Simon's arrangements are fantastic.

excellent!

As Barry White would say YOU SHO RIGHT.

Mellower, a bit browner, but still a great voice and great delivery.

love this song, but anything by carly is great, i am 78 and can remember all the old songs and singers, she is up there with he best

I first this number on a 1950's LP of Dick Leibert playing the 4-17 WurliTzer Theatre Organ at the Byrd Theater in Richmond, Virginia, and fell in love with it (both the organ and the song). Carly Simon's version hits the nail on the head. Beautiful.

I love this arrangement of this great song

i Love so much
Brazílian fan

I'm speechless.

You were right the first time, the music today is crap. Crap and Rap, synonymous.

I couldn't agree more, these gastley Celebrated Talentless so called Stars of today, just an irritating Shrill on the ear.

My foolish heart

eu amo de paixão
sou fã de CARLY SIMON
i Love so much
Brazílian fan

Eu também! Voz linda e extremamente sensual! Maravilhoso ouvi-la!

EXQUISITE!

LINDA...MARAVILHOSA...

Incomparable !!

Mi cantante favorita....única...feeling

大好き💓♥❤

wasn't worth 30 seconds !

This rendition of one of my favorite Cole Porter songs is absolutely SUPERB! Carly Simon nailed this classic with her usual stroke of sultry, smooth vocal quality. Fantastic! Porter and Simon equals absolute perfection. Tonal quality of Carly is in a class by herself. And that is truly a complement for a vocalist. I LOVE THIS SONG AND CARLY'S INTERPRETATION OF IT. BEAUTIFUL!!!

What a great voice singing an old favorite.

Amo !!!

Thanks to Carly for performing these beautiful songs. They just don't write them like this anymore.

Thank You!

feeling ssssssssssssssbello

Grace, it 'feels' like a soft caress. Carly is perfect for the song and gives meaning for all of us to share. Feeling is great.

WONDERFUL!

Sorry Ella, but Carly nails it ! A Cole Porter song.

Wish Ella had a modern studio..how awesome would that be?

to everyone who remembers what real music sounds like  
don't hear it much these days  
gotta go back to the past when songs with words sent a message of love
not this crap today, did I say crap, I meant rap

@Sheila Franschman - We agree totally

Some times I think I was born in the wrong era. The sixties were nice, but love the songs from the 30s, 40s, & 50s. The lyrics & music was so moving and created a mood. My father taught me to appreciate music like this: love the "American Song Book" music. Carly does a rendition of my "My Foolish Heart" that is great!

Count me in.

Beautifully sung, lovely arrangement.
