All Through The Night
George Shearing · Other Songs - George Shearing
For I'm always so alone till the day draws to an end,
But when the sun goes down and the moon comes through,
To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you.
All through the night,
I delight in your love,
All through the night you're sio close to me!
All through the night,
From a height far above,
You and your love brings me ecstasy!
When dawn comes to waken me,
You're never there at all!
I know you've forsaken me
Till the shadows fall,
But then once again I can dream, I've the right
To be close to you all through the night.
All Through The Night
George Shearing's 'All Through The Night' stands as a quintessential example of his sophisticated jazz piano style, characterized by intricate arpeggios and a lush, romantic atmosphere. Recorded during the mid-20th century, the track exemplifies the cool jazz aesthetic that Shearing helped define, blending classical influences with improvisational freedom. The composition features his signature 'piano duet' technique, often performed alongside a bassist or drummer to create a rich, interlocking texture that defines the era's progressive jazz. While the song lacks a specific album title in public records, it remains a staple of his discography, frequently performed live and recorded for various compilations. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic beauty and technical mastery, capturing the essence of nocturnal jazz that influenced countless subsequent pianists and ensembles.
