One More Night

[Macfan4life]

There are no songs by Chris that I dont like. One More Night is not in my top tier Chris songs. It sort of got lost on the Live album. The demo is meh. But the live version adds so much heart to the song. Almost like songbird, it adds mood to the song to be singing live on a stage. Some nice backing vocals that may not have truly been live and added later. Who knows. A few things make this song special. Chris was a fairly steady singer. But this song she throws her voice into a few lines for effect. It works rather nicely. I am guessing it was about Dennis since it was recorded when she was dating him. Its a fairly somber song. "You MAY come home some morning and find she's not sleeping alone." Clearly Chris again felt neglected in the relationship. "If you want her, better get her now" But I love when she throws in "Dont be a fool"
It works so much better on a quiet live stage compared to the demo. We get to hear that emotion in her voice. It just does not pack a punch in a studio. Over the years, this song has grow on me with leaps and bounds. Its about her emotion throwing her voice that brings it home for me. Maybe I want to be the one holding her tight. Chris does not like sleeping alone
