- One of the last songs sung by Mark Sandman. Morphine leader died in 1999 on stage in Palestrina, Italy. The album "The Night" was released in 2000 and contains this gem of undeniable beauty made even more poignant by the unique voice of Sandman.
- Hudba
I named my newborn daughter Lilah Annelise today. I remembered the name from this beautiful song.
Masterpiece, there is no music and lyrics like that anymore
I spent the last thirty-five years collecting records. This song is probably the most special, accomplished, poetic, inspired, numbing, dreamy of all the songs I heard thus far. It reaches so deep into my souls, so deep...
One of the best, saddest and beautiful songs ever played...love it...
you're the night, Lilah
a little girl lost in the woods
you're a folktale
the unexplainable
you're a bedtime story
the one that keeps the curtains closed
I hope you're waiting for me
cause I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own
it's too dark to see the landmarks
and I don't want your good luck charms
I hope you're waiting for me
across your carpet of stars
you're the night, Lilah
you're everything that we can't see
Lilah
you're the possibility
you're the bedtime story
the one that keeps the curtains closed
and I hope you're waiting for me
cause I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own
sweet-ass sax solo
unknown the unlit world of old
you're the sounds I've never heard before
off the map where the wild things grow
another world outside my door
here I stand I'm all alone
driving down the pitch black road
Lilah you're my only home
and I can't make it on my own
you're a bedtime story
the one that keeps the curtains closed
I hope you're waiting for me
cause I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own
Could the lyrics be any more poignant? You want to enfold yourself in this and let it carry you away

That hypnotic rap he does at 3:14 is so, so smooth
Exquisitely beautiful and sad and wonderous; 35 people who disliked this need to learn to find themselves as this is pain and joy that has to be experienced
"The Night", Morphine's last studio album released shortly before Mark's untimely death, may have been their best album up to that point. With this album, it almost felt like Mark and the band were finally going to break into the mainstream after nearly a decade of building a cult following in the alternative music scene, getting more and more notice upon each new release and singles on movie soundtracks, but then the unthinkable happened, and he died before he could get a taste of that level of fame.
Dios! Vaya canción! Jamás había escuchado nada igual. Deliciosamente tenebrosa, poética, oscura, profunda, densa. Es como sumergirte en un hondo pozo, en una noche muy negra. Me hace sentir desamparado, solo, triste... pero también me produce un placer que no sé explicar. Una maldita obra maestra! Regards from a spanish morphine listener
The last complete Stage concert of Morphine / Mark Sandman was in Lisbon 1999, 3 days before he died in Italy. I will never forget the 2 times I saw them playing in Portugal. Totaly .
que inveja. eis aí um concerto que dava tudo para tê-lo visto.
one of the most significant so called "supertrios" in rock music history.
"Cure for Pain" just killed me from the start, when girl I met gave me a cassette at my place and said: "play it, it's cool". oh my, it was so good!
this song is just amazing. Words,music,voice..everything is so damn awesome.
I miss Morphine.
You're the night, Lilah. A little girl lost in the woods.
You're a folk tale, the unexplainable...
this masterpiece must be played at my funeral
this is probably the best song in the world ever
i love this song. it works for a chill dinking night, long midnight stroll,or a loving dance with someone you love
This song
ALWAYS
Oh my. Now I feel like walking through the dirty, old, high tenements with open windows at night in August, hearing the wind howling desperately while becoming my only company
Simply amazing. This is pure musical treasure!
Yup. I can't make it on my own..
Lucky enough to have seen Morphine live twice....it still rips me apart to this day! - In Australia
Heard this just after Sandman (Morphine's lead singer) passed---kinda sad knowing that there wouldn't be anymore songs by him ever again, but he left behind such a body of work that people still appreciate to this to day, which is enough.
R.I.P. Sandman..
rip sa(n)dman. amazing and tragic.
Thanks for making this
Unforgettable song!
Magnificent piece of art!
I hope you're waiting for me
across your carpet of stars...
listening to a home town station from newark nj......came across this dope song and remembered the lyrics.......found them on youtube........really digging this.
Mysterious, intriguing, superbly written and played.
this song is so hauntingly beautiful. it is an embrace when there is no-one there to embrace you.
I listened to this song when I was young but forgot about it. I recently heard it again playing in a t shirt store. Brought back memories :') Beautiful song.
I took saxophone lessons from Dana for a little while and hung out with him a bit, saw a Vapors of Morphine show. He's still carrying on the same sort of music and playing at all the big spots Morphine used to hit.
Totally addicted to this song. Been playing it for days. Days!

Love this song. And I love the poppy flowers image. Morphine is extracted from the opium contained in those flowers, so it really makes sense.
Only just stummbled across this song by pure chance. So glad i did, it's a masterpiece.
I usually don't listen to this kind of music, but DAMN this is good!
I miss Hate by numbers :/
pure heroin fueled emotion right here guys, there is no better poetry than poetry from someone who's felt the most pleasure and the most pain you can feel
Non ho parole, che talento, che voce, che canzone. R.I.P. Mark
Altin Mersinllari. RIP MARCUS ANTHONY ESPARZA
che c'entra????!!!!
OH MY GOD SO MUCH SAX *drools*
hope she'll always love me 'cause i can't make on my own.thank you my beauty,for still being here for me,knowing that.....i love you C.H-F.!
Sad song... Sandman had one of the best vocals which I have ever heard.
I like the pictures. It gives a nice feel
"i hope youre waiting for me... i cant make It on my on..."
fantastic
what a tune...WOW!
Magic!!
great sound
great great song
Danijela... :'(
yes........I know.........heartbreaking
Epic.......
a sand with the name, the only sand.
I listen to this song to feel classy.
Love💕💕
@XottDawyd Fortunately. I can't imagine 1. Many people liking this sort of thing, or 2. Those who do like it wanting a whole lot of it.
Yea!
sublime y triste,pero hermosa.
good ears on the outro rap I think you may have nailed it!
That's my favourite song.

How on earth could anyone dislike this? o.O
Y DID GOD HAVE TO TAKE MARK (SANDMAN) SO YOUNG!!???
I'm there right now. It's next level.
@aljoshabre Cheers! Exactly, this music can't be labeled under any genre, Morphine is just that... Morphine. Another reason to love em even more.
Epic....
@countingtrees good for us! ;) Cheers!
He also does it on YT.
@JPBStory "Lilah \l(i)-
lah\ as a girl's name is a variant of Delilah (Hebrew), Leila (Arabic), Lila (Arabic) and Lyla (English), and the meaning of Lilah is "languishing, lovelorn, seductive; night beauty"." ;)
Oh my God, i had no idea Sophia..
Best ... Fantastic emo
@makarygielda i read somewhere, probably wikipedia that the band called itself a ''low rock'' band
yeah! hook it up, courtney.
*sigh* good ol' courtney... always on point with the questionable internet prescription bit.
It´s actually "I can make it on my own". The lyrics don´t make much sense if they read "I can´t make it on my own". He´s on his way getting to Lilah on his own. Why would he beseech her to wait for him if he couldn´t get there on his own and also doesn´t specify if he´s getting help to get to her?
i'd choose it among the soundtracks of my thoughts
Recuerdo cuando salio este cd yo tenia 21 años lo encontre en una disqueria y dije wtf!!! Hacia 3 o 4 años habia muerto mark y yo tenia los pocos discos anteriores que habian sacado y dije y esto?? Ni lo pense todos haciendo cola para comprar significant other de limp bizkit y yo ne llevo este de morphine hasta el dia de hoy lo atesoro ...cuantos recuerdos
Gladstone still does HBN at his website Kafka lives in Maine.
I to jest bardzo słuszna propozycja :)
Actually, it's "Layla" not "Lilah" - Layla is arabic name which literally means "the night". Check out wikipedia.
Esta chiro!!
Keeping my curtains closed...tonight
me to tonight..
muito bom mesmo
vcs são muito bons
tão de parabens por esse son tão inspirador
XD

Anyone familiar with the "Background Pony" Story might think this song goes well with the story.
You're the night Lailah,a little girl lost in the woods
@makarygielda Alt rock, jazz rock ... it really can't be summed up to that.
Great graphics for a beautiful song. Whoever made this: it's actually "I CAN make it on my own". Listen carefully. Excdept during the "rap". Then it is "can't" instead of "can". I never realized this myself until I learned to sing and play it.
@n8tureboy ~ Me too!
Sensacional!
Negócio bonito da porra, te dana!
I think I'm in gay with his voice.
@DutchCourageWhoohoo That Handsome Devil's sounds sorta like this, so I'd recommend looking them up
@Inquisitive76er My daughter, Lilah Annelise, of course :)
@DutchCourageWhoohoo Mark Sandman did do some solo work. Other than that, can't think of much.
2:45AM. Its too early for the pink of those roses and the slow sick time coughs over the stone step. Fumble into the night who spit obsidian and the bottom of the colorless womb, me thinks is never was as dark as this bedrock who draws a shade dark enough to make the blackbird swaddle his plumage into red breast. It flashes into a sick that I had thought in good time but late as ever is still good for a skirt across blackwater. And as the long tooth is caste into the rotted pith I recall aged stone from where the bear lamented his eviction and later spoiled my dear brothers siesta with a jump out of the pear tree. This night will pull us all unto bedrock where echoes mantra as near to an unfathomable evil. Procession fell onto old timer who rolled his jaw at the rippling bedrock and saw a glint in the soft water that gave fever and he spit to curse his existence. 'I would leap from this very cliff but oh, the bedrock would defy me! And stand there gazing down at broken bone with his own mantra, 'Its all just bones for bedrock' and dust me off to dust and have my tongue stopped dead under 100 billion civilizations and my pitted eyes open to the big stage where tragedies and glorious raged war was quick in blood, the first and final sound but a quivering bow whistling about the flank and there the whole cinematic doggedness is soldiered to the heap, the dirt and under until settling under bedrock and the night never once thinks, 'What have I done?' Hush hush
I really really miss hate by numbers :(
I miss Bob.
@DIURKAZ I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but if you're saying that Lilah is unlikely to be morpine then I agree but I was just replying to your original suggestion that she might be. If you're just giving me the etymology of a name...ok...?
=-)
i think this song is rather sexy and sophisticated than sad..
He's saying "Lilah", like from the earlier Morphine track of the same name.
Oh les mathématiques !
what type of music is morphine playing, cause i was thinking and i can't imagine what can it be....
Agreed this music is far too good to be mainstream. Its way out there on its own.
