Here Comes The Night (David Johansen Album)
''Here Comes the Night'' is the third solo album for New York Dolls lead singer David Johansen. Released in 1981, Blondie Chaplin (from Beach Boys fame) serves as the producer for the album (for Blondie Chaplin's writing contributions, his middle name William is used and he is listed as "Bill Chaplin"). Although Chaplin was a former Beach Boys member, the album and title song, "Here Comes the Night", does not have any relationship to the Beach Boys song, "Here Comes the Night". The album marks the first time Johansen recorded an album without a significant contribution of his fellow-New York Dolls bandmate, Sylvain Sylvain (with the exception of co-writing one song, Sylvain does not appear on the album). Johansen also recruited the third-in-a-row producer for ''Here Comes the Night'' in an attempt to identify a unique sound, rather than a continual evolution of the New York Dolls sound. The tracks on the album have more of a contemporary beat, which would continue to be develo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Here Comes The Night (The Beach Boys Song)
"Here Comes the Night" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1967 album '' Wild Honey''. Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, the group later rerecorded the track for their 1979 album, ''L.A. (Light Album)'', as a disco song lasting nearly eleven minutes. A four-minute edit of this version was released as a single on February 19, 1979 and reached number 44 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Composition Author Andrew Hickey noted: "This is a rather by-the-numbers song which however manages the interesting trick of having the chorus apparently lose its tonal centre altogether – normally one would have a harmonically simple chorus while the verses are complex, but this has simple verses in C but a chorus whose chords are Cmin, Ab7 and F, which are chords that just should not go together." Original recording "Here Comes the Night" was recorded at Beach Boys Studio on October 26, 1967. Disco remake The 1979 disco version of the song, produced by Bruce J ...

Beach Boys
A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles. The particles composing a beach are typically made from rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, etc., or biological sources, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae. Sediments settle in different densities and structures, depending on the local wave action and weather, creating different textures, colors and gradients or layers of material. Though some beaches form on inland freshwater locations such as lakes and rivers, most beaches are in coastal areas where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments. Erosion and changing of beach geologies happens through natural processes, like wave action and extreme weather events. Where wind conditions are correct, beaches can be backed by coastal dunes which offer protection and regeneration for the beach. However, these natural forces have become more extreme due to climate change, permanently altering beaches at very rap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
