Bring on the Night (song)
''Bring on the Night'' is a song by English rock band The Police. Written by the band's lead bassist and vocalist Sting, the song appeared as the fourth track on the band's second studio album, ''Reggatta de Blanc'' (1979).
==Background==
Some of the lyrics of ''Bring on the Night'' were recycled from the song, ''Carrion Prince (O Ye of Little Hope)'', which was written by Sting for the band, Last Exit.〔Sutcliffe, Phil & Fielder, Hugh (1981). ''L'Historia Bandido''. London and New York: Proteus Books. ISBN 0-906071-66-6. Page 36.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=35123 )〕 The title ''Carrion Prince (O Ye of Little Hope)'' was taken from Ted Hughes's poem, ''King of Carrion'', and is about Pontius Pilate; however, after reading ''The Executioner's Song'', Sting felt that that the words fitted Gary Gilmore's death wish, and says that since then, "I sing it with him in mind."〔
Another lyric from ''Bring on the Night'', "when the evening spreads itself against the sky," is taken from T. S. Eliot's poem, ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'', written in 1920. In ''Lyrics By Sting'', Sting said of this, "What is it Eliot said? 'Bad poets borrow, good poets steal'?"〔
The song was only released as an album track in Britain, but in America, as well as Germany and France, the song was released as a single in November 1979. Backed with "Visions of the Night", the British B-side to "Walking on the Moon", in America (but with "Reggatta de Blanc" in Germany and "Roxanne" in France), the single managed to hit no. 6 in France. However, the song did not make it into the charts of US and Germany. The song also was also released in a compilation album, ''The Police'', as well as in live form on the album, ''Live!''.
