A slower, haunting song that shows off the band's sensitive side. Musically dark but with a warm touch. | MP3.com CD: Blank - buy it!

Story Behind the Song
About you tonight is the band's slow song (every band has to have one). Ironically it's not a love song, per se. It's a song Jonathan wrote for a one of his closest friends, Sara, who had been burned by yet another guy, and decided to give up on love. She had just tearfully confided in Jonathan about all these things, and he sat down and wrote a song for her, encouraging her to stay hopeful for love, and not blame herself for how things had gone.
The twist to the whole story is that anyone who reads the lyrics could probably tell that Jonathan was actually in love with Sara, even though they had decided not to persue a relationship between the two of them. The song subtly pleads with Sara to take a chance with Jonathan, but assures her that she can look elsewhere and he'll still be there for her.
Lyrics
About You Tonight
Words and music by Jonathan English
Try not to think about it anymore tonight
Try to lay your head down now and sleep
I know that youll dream about him when you close your eyes
But you can dream about how things should be
It isnt fair to try to tell yourself not to cry
It isnt fair to keep this all inside
Try to keep in mind you fell again because youre sweet and youre kind
And he doesnt know enough to treat you right
Its about you tonight
Try not to let this take up too much space inside
Try to let it out then let it go
I know that youve been left without a kind word
Or a kind look towards your eyes
Please believe theres so much you dont know
You may not understand you hold so much in your little hand
To set this world on fire if you keep on
I know that youve been wronged
But I know your heart and I know that youre strong so
Try not to let this way you down tonight
Its about you tonight
Its about the way you look there when you close your eyes
Like an angel whos been lost on her way home
Its about you tonight
Its about the way you look, you feel, what you know is right and
How its left you out here all alone
If you need a shoulder Ive got lots of time to sit
Lots of time to hold you while you think
Just look around this open room and see how much I care for you
And know that some good things will never change
Everything you do just makes me care just that much more for you
And I dont even know what weve become
Tonight Ill stay here right beside you and watch the years as they slip by you
And try to figure out just where weve come from
