Lyrics:
You and your baby had some words today
Til not another word was left to say
I see that grin boy
Maybe you think you'll win boy
Until the sun goes down and once again boy
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
They say it's darkest right before the dawn
But oh those darkest hours can be so long
You're feelin' strong boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong boy
But how much longer can this night go on boy

There will never be another Fabulous 80's

[@marialujansergio7507]

It was a video that was seen on the old MTV, how I miss that time😢

[@Crumpet_Central_]

One of the most 80's music videos of all time for one of the most 80's ballads of all time. Classic

The fact that this song was not a mammoth hit back in 1985 will always puzzle me...I have been humming along to this for more than 30 years now... this song is huge in my own lil world !!!

There was some sort of copy right problem or something idk, but for the longest time the music video was blocked, but then one day I tried it again and there it was.

They don't make them like this anymore. This brings me straight back to my teenage years, when every song had a meaning and was written for you, especially after your girlfriend broke up with you. If you read this and your under 20, enjoy every minute.

[@catalinamartinez4922]

Una joya de principio a fin, qué pedazo de canción

[@artstrader7954]

The name of the song is a pun. "One lonely Knight', (the lonely Sir Knight). "One lonely night", (the Wizard's imposed, 'night of testing'-to which the Sir Knight passed well enough to be crowned a King and regain his wife' love and respect. Awesome song and video. Rarely played on MTV. Thanks for the post!

[@kennethmayberg7197]

Just happened to see this video in 1985 a couple of days before my first trip to England. It gave me a nice sentimental feeling knowing that I was about to visit a land of medieval cottages, castles and knights that I would fantasize about when I was a boy. It was extremely rainy that summer (Even the British were complaining) but I was on such a high visiting Europe for the first time that it didn't bother me much.

[@TheInsultInvestor]

i bet you werent so popular yourself

[@robertsmith-rb5pb]

First Reo is one of the greatest of American Rock bands. Second this is one of their greatest songs. The video is great.story works with the song. The message of support,learning and love is also great. Did you guy's pick up on the fact he was "clutz" because he actually needed glasses,. All in all a good mini-story/song for all age groups. It sure is classy beats many of the weird,strange disgusting stuff comes out today

[@SuperMariocankickass]

I agree! I love this video and I don't know why people hate on it. The song and video complement each other very well.

This is such a great song. I forgot how good this is. I definitely think "One Lonely Night" is better than their big number one hits. The arrangement, chord changes and melody are more interesting and dynamic!

I'm currently rediscovering a band that I wish I'd paid closer attention to in the 70's and 80's. For some reason I keep listening to all their live stuff and now I'm watching all their videos. I think this song should tell us that Neil Doughty has more creative musical genius that needs to be teased out, and shared with the public at large. Rip Gary Richrath!!

[@nmtrading1214]

sooooo underatedddd song

Está Joya de canción la transmitían cada sábado por la noche en el programa de videoclips A Toda Música, con mamita Elsa Saavedra y Gloria Calzada, esperaba que apareciera en cualquiera de los 4 bloques de 5 videos para deleitarme con la experiencia audiovisual de esta gran banda, con grandes hits de ese magnífico Wheels are Turning

Man, this was the end of a long-string of hits for this band. Spring 1985

It's absolutely bizarre, which is, indeed, pretty consistent with much of the 1980s.

Los 80, esa época inolvidable en donde la calidad de los videos era inversamente proporcional a la de las canciones. Este caso no es la excepción un desastre para semejante temón. De todas maneras gracias siempre por poder vivir esa época con música impresionante, en comparación a la que tenemos hoy con vídeos con mucha tecnología pero música calamitosa.

[@marioserna3564]

Muy cierto, aqui se vio que Reo Speedwagon no se tomo muy en serio al hacer el video.

[@clevishook]

El video tiene un poco de sentido: la canción es One Lonely night (una noche solitaria), pero también es un juego de palabras: One Lonely Knight (Un caballero solitario), ya que Knight y Night se pronuncian muy parecido.

[@user-ly2ek2ew8m]

PERO LO HICIERON CON UN RELAJO INTENCIONAL, LO ENCUENTRO MUY SIMPÁTICO QUE LOS INTEGRANTES DE LA BANDA PARTICIPARÁN EN EL CLIP UN GRAN SENTIDO DEL HUMOR DE ESTA GRAN BANDA Y LA CANCIÓN TIENE PODER POR SI SOLA

[@Munkyo99]

@@clevishook de hecho al principio pense realmente (viendo el video) q si, el tema se llamaba "one lonely knight" (era un niño en ese entonces) y tanto el video como la cancion se pueden entender de ambas formas Night y Knight se pronuncian igual ( la k es muda en este caso)
