Note: Premiered live on August 1, 1976 and was played at 31 of 54 shows on the Lawsuit Tour 1976-1977, which gave Springsteen opportunities to revise lyrics and modify arrangements. The tour featured a full-time horn section, the Miami Horns, and they were also used in several arrangements. When the Darkness sessions began on June 1, 1977, takes of "Something In the Night" were recorded that evening, and apparently the album take was chosen from these. According to Sony logs, there were two subsequent recording sessions on June 14 and 16, and that was it, until mixing sessions began in 1978. Versions 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d are all the same June 1 recording, with different mixes made. There is a posibility of V1 being recorded later in June on the dates mentioned. Godfatherecords release G.R. BOX 01, The Unbroken Promise: Lighting Up The Darkness Sessions, a 6 CD compilation of outtakes from the Darkness sessions, describes in it's extensive liner notes that ”Something In The Night appears in three versions, Version 2a being recorded in June-July 1977 at Atlantic Studios and versions 2b and 2c during September-October 1977." Unfortunately, there is no evidence at all of the latter. The final notation is Mix take #42 (V2d), from February 27, 1978, was pressed to metal acetate on April 12, 1978, and became track 3 on Darkness On the Edge of Town.
Studio Sessions: Darkness On the Edge of Town
Something In The Night |
Hmmm
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Well I'm riding down Kingsley figuring I'll get a drink
Well I turn the radio up loud so I don't have to think at all
And I take her to the floor looking for a moment when the world seems right
And I tear into the guts, hmmm, of something in the night
Well you're born with nothing, and better off that way
Soon as you've got something they send someone to try and take it away
Well you can ride this road 'till dawn without another human being in sight
Yeah just kids wasted on, hmmm, something in the night
Woah nothing is forgotten or forgiven, when it's your last time around, hm
And I got stuff running 'round my head that I just can't live down
When we found the things we loved, they were crushed and dying in the dirt
We tried to pick up the pieces, and get away without getting hurt
But they caught us at the state line, and burned our cars in one last fight
And left us running burned and blind, hmmm, chasing something in the night
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woah yeah
Woahhh
So!
