The Blue Nile - Let's Go Out Tonight (Official Audio) 

Taylor Swift led me to check out "Downtown Lights" and I'm listening to the whole album now. It's so dreamily poignant and yearning.

I would have show this to my dad, the way we connected was music, he passed recently. It feels so bad to not be able to share with him anymore. Cherish your dads.

This album is something else. So melancholic, but also there are few albums that give me a feeling of warmth like this one does. Ideal record for a rainy night.

Beautiful song for lonely people.

Play this music, put on your headphones..... Sit out alone under a open sky lit with stars.... along side the beach

Still one of the best songs I've ever heard

few months back in the summer there was a night when the moon shined so brightly, i sat outside at my balcony at mid night and just stared at the moon for more than an hour with some whiskey and this song played on loop...

"Why don't you say what's so wrong tonight?" First heard this gorgeous song after a period of depression in which following the deaths of a few friends, I became existentially confused and rather isolated. I met a girl and thought it'd be the end of those feelings but sadly it wasn't - in fact, I wondered why I couldn't love her even though I knew I wanted to. I kept with her as I knew she was special and offered a light in a world I couldn't exactly find myself within. One night when we were together, I came to the realisation that all that mattered to me was to ensure that she was loved, the night I heard this song. I cried it was such a freeing feeling. It was then I figured out what love was and that existential confusion was eased.

This album could possibly be the most beautiful remedy for life. No prescription needed.

MY BROTHER SUPPORTED THIS BAND 80S. HEY, HES NEARLY 60 NOW. HEY, AM THE WEE SIS.

How to explain Hats? It gets better with each listen and it’s such a unique, beautiful album and definitely the best Scottish album ever. This album attaches itself to you and you find yourself inseparable from it. It touches your soul and makes you feel so many emotions. That is an incredible feat and so rare in music. To be treasured.

"One of the greatest songs ever written!" Steve Rothery, Marillion, May 9th, 2021

I love that song, so sad and so beautiful... like life ...

.Where the cars go by All the day and night Why don't you say What's so wrong tonight? Pray for me Praying for the light Baby, baby Let's go out tonight Where the lights all shine Like I knew they would Be mine all mine Baby I'll be good Pray for me Praying for the light Baby, baby Let's go out tonight I know a place Where every thing's alright, alright Let's go out tonight Where the cars go by All the day and night Why don't you say What's so wrong tonight? I pray for love Coming out alright, yeah Baby, baby Let's go out tonight, yeah Baby, be my baby Let's go out tonight Tonight, tonight Yeah, tonight

That's the best album I've ever heard. My brother showed me that couple years ago. Evenings on the beach with him listening to this album, drinking wine, reflecting about life good and bad things I will remember for the rest of my life. Every time I feel bad I go back to it. MASTERPIECE!

Hats is possibly the greatest album ever by anyone. Music just doesn't get any better.

What an album! This one reminds me of life after a break up, living in a bedsit, and putting my life back together with someone else.

I don't say this lightly but this along with "The downtown lights" are perhaps the best songs I have ever heard in my life. I have been listening to them for over a year and every time I play them it is like the first time, they are this good.

Quite literally a record to play while staring out a window outside while it rains, joint in hand with tears rolling down your cheeks. Chilling.

one of the best songs in the world - greetings from siberia! we here are getting inspired by your music, so goes)

A very personal track. Every listener can read what he or she sees in it.

Makes being human, worth the trip.

One of the few "I would die happy if..." songs. The Blue Nile are brilliant.

No-one does melancholy like TBN although listening to the blue nile feels more like being in love than being in love

This song is so appropriate in today's mad COVID world...

I can't believe its been 30 yrs since this came out. I remember discovering The Blue Nile on 120minutes when I was a teenager. I bought it the next day. Years later i saw them in Glasgow. I didn't think the music on the record could get any better until I saw them live. Just stunningly beautiful.

Just only discovered this song an hour ago. I truly found a gem. Rare exotic find. Can’t believe something this beautiful has existed without me knowing

One of the great band's of my generation, my life would be a much darker place without The Blue Nile. Brilliant Band.

Just having blue nile moment. Imagine if Sinatra ever sang a song with emotion, passion and empathy. If he left his ego at home and channeled his uncertainty and vulnerability and really meant everything that left his throat, he’d be a decent Paul Buchanan tribute act.

So many losses. As a Glaswegian, this is the sound to our love and loss. A bitter kind of bliss.

A Walk Across The Rooftops and Hats - I doubt many bands have many debut and second albums as perfect as The Blue Nile. This track, and From A Late Night Train - we’ve all been there. Love lost or floundering and you both know it and there’s nothing you can do to change that. It’s over and you’re in that space between wanting it but knowing it’s not ever going to be the same and it’s time to let it die. Truly evocative music that every bit of me just soaks up. Gloriously soulful yet melancholic. There are no words... We are blessed to have these works.

Perfect song to listen at midnight. Lonely, haunting and beautiful.

30 year fan just rekindling all my younger feelings. Now 62. Love everything Blue Nile put out.

3.04 onwards, is fucking heartbreakingly sublime. The soaring vocals are otherworldly.

Their first 3 albums are "must have"'s for music-lovers...

всего три года назад я узнал про The Blue Nile! это чуда открытия!

This is the sort of song that calls for a long, lonely stretch of beach at midnight.

Thank you The Blue Nile for this wonderful song ❤️ I'm so happy and grateful.

Heartbreaking.

I love this song. Always gives me chills and a mixture of sadness, nostalgia, and comfort. Can anyone recommend me songs similar to this?

Как же я люблю эту песню....сердце разрывается на части

One of there most sad songs, only from a late night train makes me cry more

Truly emotional...Only Paul can touch deeply our hearts and souls! 💙

Teared up when this played this on "Six Feet Under" thinking it was the scene but it was this song

One of my fave songs of all time, peaceful and stunning.

Along with Sinatra's themed mid to late 50s Capital albums, this LP, Hats by The Blue Nile, is perfect for painting in the wee small hours.

I didnt know about the Blue Nile until just now. This is such a beautiful song. My children and I listened the Craig Armstrong version driving home one Christmas Day night and it was truly magical....we felt so safe and truly together. . Six months later my 19 year old son was killed. It was one of the songs we played for him at his funeral.

One of the greatest vocals ever recorded. I’m transported to the Polish ballet dancers flat that first played me this. Utterly mesmerizing.

In my modest opinion one of the greatest songs released by a Scotish artist,ps I was born in Scotland 65 years ago,so I have heard great artists from my beloved Scotland

i met PB once on byres road ,dont know who was more nervous me or him ,i was a fan, i was a man in my fifties ,loved his music ,loved his voice , all i could say was "i was a great admirer of his music " that done the trick i think ,i mean what do you say ?

Really glad I found this band.

It deserve to get famous. I can't understand why this song is still unfamous..

Melancholy and sexy is the best emotional combo I know of. And Mr. Buchanan is its undisputed king.

Scotland's finest at work! Do not disturb!

That start gives me chill

I first heard cuts from this album/Blue Nile interview in the mid-1980s on NPR (that’s National Public Radio for those outside the US), bought the CD immediately and still find it hauntingly beautiful.

A special someone looped this song on a CD because i have to drive cross-country for work, and this song carried me into a snowstorm and out of it upon the Highways safely. When i hear it now i remember the flurries dancing upon the highbeams of my headlights and the moon was blue and her luminous hue was humming faintly through the night cloud and fog above. If i want to find the snow and the special someone again, i just listen to this song.

I was fortunate enough to buy ‘Hats’ when it first came out. This is quite simply the most beautiful song ever created

Слушаю и слушаю, не могу наслушаться... Спасибо.

this song is sooo haunting ... once you hear it, you can't stop hearing it ...

Such a beautiful track!

I was in love when I first heard this song. The right song at the right time.

Слушая эту песню, я вспоминаю тяжелое расставание с девушкой, которой у меня никогда не было. Эти псевдовоспоминания так сильны, что мне трудно сдержать слезы. Listening to this song, I recall a difficult parting with a girl whom I never had. These pseudo-memories are so strong that it’s hard for me to hold back the tears.

this is a classic.

The song, to which i get back anytime, thank you, the blue nile for this masterpiece - i love you for your soul

one of the best songs ever written

I like Paul's voice so much, I could listen to him day and night. The version of this song he did with Craig Armstrong is my favorite one.

Beautiful and so sad

His voice and melodies remind me of what I lost.

I love the blue Nile.

It makes me think of one i once loved...it takes me back

I know this has been said countless times ........ Such a beautiful song ....

INCREIBLE Y MAGICA CANCION!!! UNA OBRA DE ARTE QUE CONMUEVE!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

The blue nile really was one of my favs in the late 80s.

Bought this when it came out......Always loved it..

Certainly one of the greatest vocals I’ve ever heard. Up the octave in verse 3 is just beyond beautiful

I love this Album forever

Thank you Paul...I can see the memories on my street again...

Not much more to say than what an absolute top song 👌👌

素晴らしい曲、心の琴線に染み入ります。from Japan

My all time favpurite. Makes me contemplate everytime everything.

What a amazing song. So beautiful

The Blue Nile Hats Absolutely superb crystalline pop music at it best ! A hidden gem of sophisticated late 80's pop album from Glasglow Trio . Enigmatic on the other hands also isolated in endless ethereal melancholy blue .

wow this song is very beautiful

Bellísimo!

Magnificent. We've all been there and this song has helped.

Bouleversant....✨✨✨✨

One of the most beautyfull and sad Song ever written

Yes !!! 2 versions (Craig Armstrong) of an incredible song. This one is the original one and talk to everyone who is watching outside by the window ; life is out there but it's not yet for you🖤 The C.A. one is more adapted to the 2000' people who used to go out at night and still be lonely when it's time to go home... Until the day when..♥️ But it's my point if view of course. Still rest the incredible emotion of this song. It's hard sometimes to be sensitive and romantic but it's high sensations too🌕

Such a beautiful song, and reading all your sentimental comments made me cry.

Such an underrated band.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. I hate 2018. I hated 2000 too.

So beautifully put

Their greatest song, closely followed by"from a late night train"and "family life"IMHO.

One of. There biggest fans seen at the Royal concert love them bad management

Lived with this since it came out love it

Awesome beautiful melodies and contextual, delicious lyrics. All made with a little bite and intelligence. Superb!

...Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight...

Sublime

A classic
