Dio said in an interview that this song is about how the night can be a tough time for a lot of us. It’s when you have time to reflect and sometimes dwell on the bad things. The night almost curses you, making you a prisoner of your own thoughts whilst accompanied by your mental demons. Hence ‘shame’ on the night....
[Verse 1] Shame on the night For places I've been and what I've seen For giving me the strangest dreams But you never let me know just what they mean And, oh, so, shame on the night, alright [Verse 2] And shame on you You've stolen the day, snatched it away But I saw the sky and I never wanna die Now you know the reason why I say, oh, shame on the night [Chorus] You don't care what you've done So I think I'd better run [Verse 3] Shame on the sun For the light you sold, I've lost my hold On the magic flame, but now I know your name Oh, Lord, just go the way you came again Oh, oh, shame on the night [Chorus 2] You don't care what you've done So I know I'd better run [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Shame on the night For places I've been and what I've seen For giving me the strangest dreams You never, never, never know just what they mean And oh, shame on the night [Chorus 3] You don't care what you've done Here I go, I've got to run [Epic Breakdown] Shame on the night Shame, shame on you Shame on my dreams Shame on the sun and you Shame on the night Well, I've lost my hold On the magic flame But now I know your name Shame on the night Shame on you Shame on all of you Shame on the night Deificurc eht era ew
So true. And I've been listening to a lot more Dio over the last 2 months. I've always loved his music, but with CZcams I can watch interviews and learn so much more about him. His voice is the best there ever will be in Metal.
Dio put 3albums in the top 50 metal albums with 3 different bands.. Heaven and hell Sabbath... Dio holy diver and stargazer by rainbow... He was a brilliant singer and songwriter and musician...
I remember when I saw Dio at the Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Heaven and Hell concert. That concert was one of the best things I have ever seen. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio!!! \m/
In my humble opinion, This song completely annihilates and destroys all other tracks. The raw emotion, lyrics, guitar, vocals, etc. it’s my favorite DIO track. “Now, I think I’m dying!”
that's because he actually felt the music, he loved what he did, unlike the majority of bands that tend to just do it for the cash, i'd blame the music company.
Saw DIO at the Centre Theatre in Corpus Christi, Tx; These guys played for a crowd of less than 1000 people like they were playing for a crowd of 30,000. Awesome performance because that's just how they were.
Ronnie james dio records weather with sabbath or his solo albums was all my turntable played for well over a year following his transition ." The ending is really the beginning , every thing comes around again " .
"Shame on the Night" is easily one of my favorite Dio songs. This takes me right back to one of the greatest summers of my life, 1983. That was the summer between high school graduation and my first semester of college and... damn, what a summer it was! Thanks, Dio, for providing an awesome soundtrack for my youthful decadence.
Questi sono i dischi che hanno portato il rock su un altro livello. Dimostrando che riff eleganti e puliti possono avere una forza dirompente. La semplicità é rock. Che godimento
Vivian CAMBELL is still playing in DIO tribute band I think they are called " The last in line " . Saw them in San Jose in 2018 $20 . He sounded amazing and vinnie Appice on drums .
I have a man crush on Dio. Completly heterosexual. But that man deserves it if you can make really good music that still blows people's minds years later you have done something really right. Long live Dio
Been listening to this song since it came out in 1983 and every time I play it all the hair on my arms still fucking stand up. Kick ass material from Ronny.
Dio is for sure somewhere inside the top 5 of best vocalists to ever walk the earth. There is nothing else i can comment on what i hear... The rest cannot be described
There's a "Vocal Coach" named Zach Ansley who has done a few Reaction videos to various songs. When he first reviewed Dio, he was critical of him. Then he went back and studied Dio more. His next video about Dio is titled, "Was Ronnie James Dio the Greatest Metal Singer Ever?" **spoiler alert: Yes** czcams.com/video/pOh8DwdX7v4/video.html I highly encourage you to watch this. It's awesome.
I got fooled today while listening to the radio. Heard the howling wolf and thought Shame on the Night was about to play, got really excited. Nope! Turned out to be Deep Purple's song Hush. Same howling wolf on both songs.
Put this up with Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell, you always have a disc in my truck. I'll put those up against 3 by anybody else. I am still figuring out what he was really talking about in all three of them in various songs . I am 50 now and I remember thinking I was cool because I got a my first copy of Holy Diver a week to a month before it came out. The meanings of many of his songs you think you get when you hear them, but then come back 10 years later in your age and you will be like "dam", now I know a little more of his meaning in a particular song.
Thanks For sharing this song with us all. Shame on the night. We 💜 🇸🇬. #love #hope #faith #peace #harmony #Respect #compassion #kindness #passionate #loyal #Honest. #time is always on our side. #time 🇸🇬🇸🇬🤗🤗
That slow doomy ending is wicked as hell. It's too bad Ronnie ascended to Valhalla, but thankfully he left us mere mortals some of the best metal around.
A dark and sinister tune from my favorite metal album and favorite metal vocalist. Rock legends may pass, but their voices and lyrics echo through eternity.
This is my favorite Dio song. Best played at high volume! Screaming along with Ronnie is a must! Just don't turn the volume down while singing, you don't sound as good as Ronnie! Rock In Peace Ronnie the World Loves You!

Now this makes so much more sense to me. Thanks guy.
Makes perfect sense.
3:22 absolute eargasm riff!
I was about to say the same. Killer riff.
His voice in this song is just...beautiful. I just want to let EVERYONE at school know that THIS music is a master piece to me. THAT IS ALL.
Agree
You can be physically short, but still have a big personality and that's all that matters brother!
He had ANOTHER band called : ELF .
SONG TO LOOK FOR IS HOOCHIE COOCHIE LADY 🤘
I agree but many people scared of his voice! really!!!
Amen
"You''ve stolen the day, snatched it away. But I saw the sky and I never want to die" - Trust me Dio, you never will!
Now u know the reason y
After 40 years of listening to Dio, this has recently become my favorite Dio track. What a masterpiece.
One of the greatest metal vocalists. He just keeps me in awe 😳
TRUUUUUUUTH!!!
The greatest rock/metal vocalist.
Metals best voice, you can't help but be in awe every time I hear this dude, you know stand up and shout, don't talk to strangers, come on.
Holy f'n diver Dunn da d da, Dunn da da da d Daman Dunn da Dunn da da da dadunn Dunn dunnn!!!! Holy diver ahhhhhhhhhh ewe ewe ewe.
Funny how the musicians associated with black Sabbath are like some of the most gifted, Ronnie, Ozzy, Tony, Bob... And that kid Randy.😊
I'm just discovering Dio now in 2017. Shame on me.
SHAME..SHAME..ON YOU!!!!
WTF
same
No shit
Allen d good for you. Sounds better now than ever!
The delivery, power, and intensity of DIOs vocals is what makes him a legend in the history of metal.
Example: 2:47
[Verse 1]
Shame on the night
For places I've been and what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never let me know just what they mean
And, oh, so, shame on the night, alright
[Verse 2]
And shame on you
You've stolen the day, snatched it away
But I saw the sky and I never wanna die
Now you know the reason why
I say, oh, shame on the night
[Chorus]
You don't care what you've done
So I think I'd better run
[Verse 3]
Shame on the sun
For the light you sold, I've lost my hold
On the magic flame, but now I know your name
Oh, Lord, just go the way you came again
Oh, oh, shame on the night
[Chorus 2]
You don't care what you've done
So I know I'd better run
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Shame on the night
For places I've been and what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
You never, never, never know just what they mean
And oh, shame on the night
[Chorus 3]
You don't care what you've done
Here I go, I've got to run
[Epic Breakdown]
Shame on the night
Shame, shame on you
Shame on my dreams
Shame on the sun and you
Shame on the night
Well, I've lost my hold
On the magic flame
But now I know your name
Shame on the night
Shame on you
Shame on all of you
Shame on the night
Deificurc eht era ew
The very last line is appearently Dio saying crucify the diver played in reverse
Still jamming in 2020... This album is timeless. One of the Greatest rock albums of ALL TIME. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
So true. And I've been listening to a lot more Dio over the last 2 months. I've always loved his music, but with CZcams I can watch interviews and learn so much more about him. His voice is the best there ever will be in Metal.
One of the All Time Greats!!!
Dio left us with a gift which is his magical mystical music and it was an honor to have witnessed him perform
I saw the sky and I'm never gonna die. No you will never truly die, Ronnie. With a voice like that, you can never be forgotten.
whenever i feel a little down or weak in the spirit I listen to DIO for a shot in the arm and then i feel the strength to face the fools
FUUUUUCK YAAAAAAAA!!!
The momemt when choir kicks in at 3:54 and onwards - absolutely fantastic!
The whole song is fantastic!
Dio's performance at the end of this song is one of the greatest in Metal history 😮💨 brings tears to my eyes , legendary 🙏🏾
You can hear the Sabbath here. Love you Ronnie. RIP.
The ending alone makes this song one of the best in the album. Epic riff and especially epic vocals from the metal God.
Dio put 3albums in the top 50 metal albums with 3 different bands.. Heaven and hell Sabbath... Dio holy diver and stargazer by rainbow... He was a brilliant singer and songwriter and musician...
very perceptive....you rock....
Stargazer wasn't an album
Rebecca Combs he was a metal God!
@@faisall6364 Yeah I think he meant Rising
Mob Rules was tight. And Holy Diver was great. The whole band was strong on the first two solo albums
I remember when I saw Dio at the Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Heaven and Hell concert. That concert was one of the best things I have ever seen. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio!!! \m/
In my humble opinion, This song completely annihilates and destroys all other tracks. The raw emotion, lyrics, guitar, vocals, etc. it’s my favorite DIO track.
“Now, I think I’m dying!”
This song's ending kicks my ass badly, especially his vocal line at 4:15
Pure vocal perfection
Bel canto of metal
Absolutely!
I couldn't agree more. My absolutely favorite song/lyrics! 😁😎
That outro is prob one of the best things ive ever heard.
EVER! My favorite track by DIO, my favorite part of any track by him. The chanting at the end gives me intense goosebumps. Sheer raw power
I think this song gives us all a second chance!! Thank you Ronnie!!
Masterpiece.. Dio's vocal is.. is the strongest. On all Earth.
that's because he actually felt the music, he loved what he did, unlike the majority of bands that tend to just do it for the cash, i'd blame the music company.
He sung his ass off. You can really hear it in this song.
was...
Beginning middle end and all ways will be shame on the night.
Steven tyler aerosmith is stronger as men even women like 'em argue!
Saw DIO at the Centre Theatre in Corpus Christi, Tx; These guys played for a crowd of less than 1000 people like they were playing for a crowd of 30,000. Awesome performance because that's just how they were.
dio helps me get through the day

Che bello trovare un italiano qua in mezzo
Quite possibly my favorite album in metal history and definitely the greatest vocalist in metal history!
is it better to you even than "Defenders of the Faith" of Judas Priest?
Rob Halford, Judas Priest, British Steel
plop888 lol British Steel is not even close to the best album, Judas Priest themselves made way better albums than British Steel.
plop888 ohoh I struck a nerve it seems! Cant handle a different opinion? Bite it, snowflake.
MegaDave
I'm done with you. Swim with piranhas. I'm out.
But you never let me know what they mean.oh shame on the night . classic goat so much energy in that beautiful voice .miss you Mr dio .
RIP Dio. The vision never dies 🤘
That outro riff is one of the single best riffs in metal.
Epic riff indeed. Goes along well with dio's vocals.
Vivian CAMBELL is still playing in DIO tribute band I think they are called " The last in line " . Saw them in San Jose in 2018 $20 . He sounded amazing and vinnie Appice on drums .
its fucking mesmerizing
most "sabbath" song of Dio 🤘
Listening to a DIOs playlist, every single song is amazing!!
DIO rules even after death \m/
ya can't stop a legend =P
He was the best,I was fortunate enough to see him 3 times and I was very honored.
It brings me to tears just how perfect this song is
La voz de Ronnie, la magia de amar a una persona que nunca has conocido... Un tipo sin igual en su arte y en su rubro 🤘😎
Aguante el Rock!!!🎶✨
Was able to see him 3 times back in the 80s. They are the greatest concerts I have ever seen. RIP Ronnie we all miss you
Lyrics and perfomance, he was the master of metal...
I'm am convinced that DIO has some of the most wicked Doom music in the history of metal . Miss his creativity. RIP.
....
I was 13 or 14 when this came out.i love it more today than yesterday as they say.i can appreciate the lyrics much more now.
My hair blows back at every chorus
I have a man crush on Dio. Completly heterosexual. But that man deserves it if you can make really good music that still blows people's minds years later you have done something really right. Long live Dio
My favorite on the album. Those vocals are killer
He does have a bad ass voice.DIO is deep and real.He is or was so cool
These slow quasi-Sabbathy songs Dio did on nearly every album are underappreciated
Been listening to this song since it came out in 1983 and every time I play it all the hair on my arms still fucking stand up. Kick ass material from Ronny.
One word, LEGEND!!!
Essa musica é tão boa, que acaba quando vai ver você ja ouviu 5 vezes
\m/
Falou tudo meu amigo.
Um leão nos vocais!

NO REPLACEMENT FOR PERFECTION!! NO ONE CAN LIKE RONNIE! your legacy lives on through us all brother.
FUUUUUUUCK YAAAAAAAAAA!
Sad that this metal legend is gone such powerful vocals
He passed on the MAGICK FLAME to All those who SEEK it's LIGHT!!! I miss the wizard, rest in power, ronnie...
He is not gone, and never will !
Perfect schooling right here on how to sing well. Powerful, commanding, well supported, great control, commitment to performance and emotion...
At 3:23 that dark eerie sound is so mesmerizing
Dio is for sure somewhere inside the top 5 of best vocalists to ever walk the earth. There is nothing else i can comment on what i hear... The rest cannot be described

The voice
What a powerful soulful voice one of the greats!!!
Love the fadeouts of the songs from Holy Diver and Last in Line, so powerful.
what a superb voice!!!
Vivian we love you too. You are the best! You and Randy, we really had it so good, and will, forever.
Seen him on this tour in Cardiff , a true performer..R.I.P legend
Wonderful masterpiece!
Goodmusic
I got fooled today while listening to the radio. Heard the howling wolf and thought Shame on the Night was about to play, got really excited. Nope! Turned out to be Deep Purple's song Hush. Same howling wolf on both songs.
yeah and sometimes it's a dang rooster lettin off
Still not a bad song. :]
Shame on the misdirection
Hands down my favorite album of all time. RIP Ronnie James Dio
Grew up with Dio and many more turn it up louder than life can handle lol 🤣
Put this up with Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell, you always have a disc in my truck. I'll put those up against 3 by anybody else.

Chris Perrien i know that feeling
Transition all the time
Dio actually had a lot of references about Jesus in his songs.
Eternal wisdom of the Christ mind> no religious beliefs, no rules> only truth and true freedom>we got the fire and live on the wild side
The best there ever was and ever will be. His vocal power is unparalleled.
Rob Halford
@@jeffreypearl424 Dio best Rock vocalist off ALL time.
the songs of this album and also the cover provoke very much our imagination.
Two legends who shaped my life, battling cancer: First Dennis Hopper, now Ronnie James Dio.
Lord be with ye both, and Godspeed to a speedy recovery!
Pure metal gold.
Awesome! Dio was incredible, just as his band.
one of the best will be forever missed
JASON CARO HE WAS A GENEROUS PERSON

The vocals 🤩
A favorite of mine from RJD....
easily could be best song on the album.
not easily!
Holy diver is pretty amazing
Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, Stand Up and Shout, Straight through the Heart...
Very hard to decide.
Title track
Every song could be argued as the best track on the record...because they're all superior Metal tracks...every fuckin one of them...
_RIP RJD_
That bass is so good.
I got to see Dio in Austin Tx . Play on 6th street wish I could see him play
One more time.
That slow doomy ending is wicked as hell. It's too bad Ronnie ascended to Valhalla, but thankfully he left us mere mortals some of the best metal around.
*this man was a true poet*
Favorite song off the album
Yess Bruce lee, i think the same like you, its my favorite song of Dio
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I dont know what does mean that you wrotte but it´s ok my dude, have a great day
It meant great lol and same to you
XD
LA MEJOR VOZ QUE HA DADO EL ROCK AND ROLL . DESCANSA EN PAZ GENIO....
I was 13 years old when this came out..I remember listening to this with my friends....fucking rocked then same as Now....
Michael Hutton. I was same age and dio still kicks ass
Listening 2018 🔥🔥🔥
about time he spans 45 years of music
A dark and sinister tune from my favorite metal album and favorite metal vocalist. Rock legends may pass, but their voices and lyrics echo through eternity.
RIP Ronnie..... You'll be missed greatly! I will never forget the first concert I saw in HS when you joined BS... Rock On!!!
First time I seen this legend was in August 1984, Navy Island in St. Paul Minnesota, Twisted Sister opened.
One of my favs.
Jimmy Bain has a killer bass sound here!
This has always been one of my favorite closers to an album.
Una gran voz que perdimos pero su recuerdo y legado viven aun.SALUDOS DESDE BENIDORM
i listen to this a lot
Ronnie was the Glue for the whole Metal scene no matter what everyone Listened to we could all agree on the Giant Killer! Ronnie James DIO!
This is my favorite Dio song. Best played at high volume! Screaming along with Ronnie is a must! Just don't turn the volume down while singing, you don't sound as good as Ronnie! Rock In Peace Ronnie the World Loves You!
Dio We love you forever and ever - Youare part of our souls - Long live rock and roll
We miss you ....................
My sentiments exactly.
Heavy metal in its purest form.
