Hail to the great Jerry Goldsmith, one of the greatest composers/musicians ever walked the Earth.

Good song

[@jgw1846]

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

[@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.

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

[@kenmcneillmusic1699]

Great song. Jennifer Warnes is one of a kind.

[@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!

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

[@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)

"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!

always liked this song. The association I have with the Twilight Zone movie is sad & creepy. I liked the Twilight Zone movie & was sad that 2 kids & Vic Morrow died making it. That scene where Vic went to the bar & this song was playing...

[@Music-tk5oq]

Never took notice of that song playing in background, however they played "Midnight Special" by Credence Clearwater Revival at beginning & end of Movie.

[@seeragiovanni730]

awesome song

[@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.....

[@dsl70]

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

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.

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.

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"

[@mmullen67]

@ulij20 Yes, I associate this song with Q102 also! I'm from South Bend and was in high school then. Q102 didn't have the most cutting-edge format, but they did manage to play things you couldn't hear elsewhere in the market. Music in general was a lot better then.

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.

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.
