Nights Are Forever - Jennifer Warnes - TWILIGHT ZONE: The Movie Soundtrack

[@MegaMario5671]

RIP Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen.

[@justintahair2883]

that was sad and i hope it changed safety regulations for the film industry

[@jgw1846]

This song is stored in my brain under the name early 80’s.

[@raventhegod4834]

Man I was born back then, just a baby but this brings me back so many positive memories....

[@benwatson6729]

"You're about to meet an angry man: Mr. William Connor, who carries on his shoulder a chip the size of the national debt. This is a sour man, a lonely man, who's tired of waiting for the breaks that come to others, but never to him. Mr. William Connor, whose own blind hatred is about to catapult him into the darkest corner of the Twilight Zone."

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Narrated by Burgess Meredith, who had previously starred in four episodes of the original *"TWILIGHT ZONE"* TV Series.

[@MetFan37]

Jennifer Warnes is one of the biggest stars that nobody knows. She had two number one duets ("Up Where We Belong" with Joe Cocker and "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" with Bill Medley), had hits with songs such as "Right Time of the Night", "I Know A Heartache When I See One" and "I'm Dreaming", and sang back-up for Roy Orbison in his "Black & White Night" show. She also toured extensively with Leonard Cohen and starred in the original L.A. production of "Hair". One of the best vocalists in the business, this should have been another huge hit for her.

[@jimcarter4425]

Well said!

[@doogboh]

Also the female vocal on the GROWING PAINS theme song

[@not.supermario]

Perfect night drive song

[@grarghov1]

Hail to the great Jerry Goldsmith, one of the greatest composers/musicians ever walked the Earth. Actually this song has very similar vibe to songs by other great early turn-of-the-decade early 80s female singers - like e.g. Laura Branigan.

[@MegaFafnir]

Gives a real flavour of music and films during the 80s...

[@purpletomatocinema]

Haunting yet catchy, perfect song for a Twilight Zone movie.

[@sirSpookyToons]

This ain't "haunting" this is "contains a tiny pinch of mystery... if you want haunted... ill give you haunted...

Great song. Jennifer Warnes is one of a kind.

[@elotwilightzone]

Me encanta!!! Siempre la escucho y me transporta a una noche llena de magia...grande Jennifer, este tema es de 1983, no se encuentra en ningún recopilatorio de Jennifer..bueno, pero los que escuchan buena música, aprecian esta hermosa canción

[@jumboneil]

Music written/arranged by the brilliant Jerry Goldsmith Sr.....

[@smoothALOE]

I think, with the context of the film AND what happened during the filming, this is a rather haunting tune. Jerry Goldsmith was a master of creating musical atmosphere.

[@walterpewen7903]

Not really. The precedent set by the killing of the children adds nothing. It changed a lot, and did make it safer legally to use kids on set. It ruined Jon Landis' and Spielberg's friendship. Think twice about it.....

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@walterpewen7903 How about the fact that Vic Morrow had a premination that he would die in a helicoper crash and is it a coincidence that the pilot of the aircraft turned the helicoper to 180 dregrees. The number 180 and the fact that Vic Morrow said he had a premination he would die in a helicoper crash is some serious foreshadawing not to mention the opening shot before his character goes into the bar there is a sign that says TRAPPED. Just like his character at the end of his segment in the movie. He is trapped in a cargo box calling to his friends from the bar who can't see him! The scene that didn't make it into the film was to redeem himself of being a bigot and saving the two children. 🤔🚁🎥🎎

[@RavenTheShamanTarot]

Was looking for this. Rem it when I was a kid and it plays in my mind for nostalga sake from time to time. It was actually a lil jingle written by Jerry Goldsmith for the racist scene.

[@adamodomi]

Good song

[@arkofn]

A very beautiful song. There is also a German version of it. Sung from Veronika Fischer, an artist of the former GDR. (*Sehnsucht nach Wärme* (*Longing after warmth*) Greatings from Germany

Years without knowing who was the singer. Yesterday I found out who is, and who was the composer. I'm surprised. I love this song and your voice Jennifer!

[@ulij20]

I love this song! I remember hearing it relatively often on South Bend AC station WTHQ (Now Sunny 101.5) back in the late summer of 1983. Probably my favorite song by Jennifer Warnes.

[@haroldsgirl5043]

Rest in peace, Vic Morrow and those two precious children.

[@seeragiovanni730]

awesome song

[@chadbrown748]

Lyrics. (Verse 1) Faceless voices talking... Smoky rings of sweet lies... Strangers selling stories... No one really buys... Through the neon starlight... Women watch the men move... Through the broken music... On what they need to prove... (Refrain) Nights are forever... When you have no one... But nights are forever... When you're just tryin' to hang on. (Verse 2) Standin' with his shadow... Starin' holes in my clothes... We both know what's comin'... This is how the game goes... (Refrain) Nights are forever... When you have no one... But nights are forever... When you're just tryin' to hang on. (Verse 3) All your love is all I want... You to feel... Love me like we only have this night to live. (Instrumental break) (Verse 4) Dancin' makes me hungry... Lyin' bores me to tears... Let's just take each other... The way we appear. (Refrain) Nights are forever... When you have no one... But nights are forever... When you're just tryin'... To hang on. (Instrumental break to fade)

Jennifer had many hits in the early to mid 80's.Always loved her style..

[@Channel6-p9x]

Toller Song. Jennifer Warnes hat zufälligerweise am selben Tag Geburtstag wie ich!

[@bigbirdvinny]

Awesome song! I read that this song was first introduced for the first time during the movie to see if it caught on. It has a nice late 70s tempo and Jennifer Warnes helps make this song a hit. Why can't they make great music anymore? Thank you for posting this gem.

[@robertpolanco1973]

Personally, I enjoyed this song very much. It certainly was one of the few light moments in an otherwise dark and gritty movie like "Twilight Zone."

[@dsl70]

I have a promo copy of this still sounds great today as well as back then.Jennifer is a class act singer.

[@sonrise3435]

"Nights are forever when you have no one" playing in the background while Vic's Bill Conner character spewse his ugly racist tirade makes me feel he had no wife? Maybe divorced? Sad individual. As despicable as the character Bill was, he still was a human being. Vic inspired heartfelt pity in me watching his last portrayal in that tumultuous role. He gave his life for movies & tv literally. Gratitude & well wishes Vic!

Great memories. KINT-98 in El Paso used to play this. The lady definetely knows how to belt out a song. Like the music work on it.

[@walterpewen7903]

There is still a shadow over the Twilight Zone film because of the deaths that occurred. This piece by Warnes probably would have gotten more play if it were otherwise. It's a fantastic piece of music, but she does not list it in her repertoire, out of respect I would suspect. It still holds up as a very good song.

[@derbatti]

What a tragedy. For what? For this piece of crap. The movie is forgotten. John Landis would have been still a top director. But it happened. And there's no way out for him.

Guao!... Es increble cómo suena ésta versión (la versión original) cuando la comparo con la versión que yo conocí por primera vez. Yo escuché está canción en la voz de MELISSA (Melissa Griffth) cantante rock peruano-venezolana, la versión que ella hace cantanda en español está publicada en su álbum "Melissa II" (℗ 1984) y la canción se titula "Noches Eternas".

[@ulij20]

OK, I'll try that site. Yeah, I have a few of them from 1983 and 1984, somewhere. On one of the 1983 charts, the #1 song is "All This Time" by DeBarge, so that's apparently a survey from circa July. The other one that I can think of off the top of my head has "All Time High" by Rita Coolidge at the top, so that's a late summer one. Yeah, Q102 was a great station, indeed. Played a great variety of music - too bad there aren't many stations like that around anymore :(

[@Music-tk5oq]

The song by DeBarge was called "All This Love"

They could have done the scene without the helicopter, just explosions and the ending of the first segment would have been different, redemption for the character. I really dislike the ending of the first segment like they couldn't find another way for the redemption at the end. Just falls flat and it was kind of sad.

She had a successful tribute album to Leonard Cohen in 1986 and she had another huge hit with "I've Had The Time Of My Life" in 1987. I don't think the fact that she had a song from this movie hurt her career. It also was a top 10 AC hit in late 1983.
