NIGHTBIRDS (a.k.a. LET YOURSELF GO)

Ain't got the blues, I ain't homesick, 
I've got to move away from this bore here. 
I love these places where I am unknown, 
Here I'm in phase to really let myself go. 

Call me owl, call me vampire. 
Night is the right time for nightbirds to fly. 
I love those times when I am unknown, 
Here I'm in phase to really let myself go.

Let yourself go... 
Yeah let yourself go... Just how you know...

I never rely on anyone, 
Here amonst strangers it doesn't seem wrong. 
Surrounded by liars for much too long, 
I can not believe, I am not that strong. 

Call me owl, call me vampire. 
But I live my life that way that I like. 
And if I'm living just for tonight, 
Night is the right time for nightbirds to fly. 

Let yourself go... 
Yeah let yourself go... Just how you know...

Nightbirds (Soulmonkey / Number Nine Experiment) by Number Nine Experiment


In 2008, with Pentastar, we were working on a new song based on riffs brought by the guitarist Julien Stark, I decided to try these lyrics thinking it might fit... 
So then, I eventually interchanged the verses... 
After a couple of live performances, we were happy with the result. 

Here is a live version recorded in October'2008 by Pentastar with: 
Arnaud Schmitz: guitar & vocals 
Julien Stark: guitar 
Gab Helfenstein: bass 
Eddy Bellatel: drums 



Another demo of the song (Soulmonkey's version), with an alternative folk rock arrangement was released in November'2012 as bonus track on 
"Psychotic Monkeys Planet" by Audran. 
(All instruments performed by Arnaud Schmitz)
