Yeah
I been tryna call
I been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and Sin City's cold and empty (oh)
No one's around to judge me (oh)
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey
I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby
Oh, the city's cold and empty (oh)
No one's around to judge me (oh)
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
I'm just walking by to let you know (by to let you know)
I can never say it on the phone (say it on the phone)
Will never let you go this time (ooh)
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

As a helicopter pilot myself I have a completely different appreciation for this than most. Ofc the song is great, and I've loved it since it came out. But throwing in the helicopter shots, and the creativity of doing this on top of a skyscraper.... Unmatched. I'm also really glad that the editors didn't cut out the helicopter noise but instead let it remain subtly. All around a fantastic production! Awesome helicopter work by Fred North as usual!!

For me this will forever be the anthem of the Covid madness. That strange time in our lives when the world shut down and nobody really knew what was going on or what to expect. When we were confined to our little apartments and the radio was playing this masterpiece at least twice an hour. A brilliant song and a stellar performance that somehow fits that time perfectly.

Not just 1 helicopter, but 2 of them. If you look from 1:28 through 1:33 you can see both helicopters in the background. One is hovering in place directly behind him, and the other is panning from side to side below the stationary one. Huge props to both pilots for keeping things safe and stable while battling the wind-sheer coming up the side of the building.

I haven't listened to "every" song he's done yet, like 85% of them going through his KZfaq channel. But, I think the reason he didn't win is because his work isn't actually "good"... He only has "3" actually GOOD songs in my opinion. This song, "In your Eyes", and "Save your Tears".... These songs are what real High-Quality music looks like in my view. These are also some of his latest. So, maybe he'll get it next time if he keeps making songs like these. None of his other stuff in my view is any good as to what I've heard save "Starboy" could have been good, but the vulgarity and say "ah" and "ya" too much ruined it, just poor writing. BTW, I'm a singer who sings like George Michael, Pavarotti, and Josh Groban... so yes, I know what really good singers and songs sound like, ones that deserve rewards. There isn't a lot of good quality out these days. People like FAR too much bad music like this guy's other stuff.

Red colour depicts Devil. Watch the video of his song Heartless where he turned in to a reptile. Understand the lyrics of that song and know the real satanic agenda behind all this. Open your eyes people before its too late.
