Bring on the Night

Bring On the Night is a 1986 live album by Sting recorded over the course of several live shows in 1985 and released in 1986. The title is taken from a song by The Police from their 1979 album Reggatta de Blanc. The songs performed include Sting's early solo material from the studio album The Dream of the Blue Turtles, and from his time with The Police, with a few of the performances played as medleys of the two. The touring band features the prominent jazz musicians Branford Marsalis, Darryl Jones, Kenny Kirkland, and Omar Hakim.

Despite not featuring any hit singles, the album reached number 16 on the UK Album Charts and won Sting a Grammy Award in 1988 for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male.

Bring on the Night is also a 1985 documentary directed by Michael Apted covering the formative stages of Sting's solo career—released as DVD in 2005.

Bring on the Night (song)

"Bring on the Night" is a song by English rock band The Police. Written by the band's lead bassist and vocalist Sting, the song appeared as the fourth track on the band's second studio album, Reggatta de Blanc (1979).

Background

Some of the lyrics of "Bring on the Night" were recycled from the song, Carrion Prince (O Ye of Little Hope), which was written by Sting for the band, Last Exit. The title Carrion Prince (O Ye of Little Hope) was taken from Ted Hughes's poem, King of Carrion, and is about Pontius Pilate; however, after reading The Executioner's Song, Sting felt that that the words fitted Gary Gilmore's death wish, and says that since then, "I sing it with him in mind."

Another lyric from "Bring on the Night", "when the evening spreads itself against the sky," is taken from T. S. Eliot's poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, written in 1920. In Lyrics By Sting, Sting said of this, "What is it Eliot said? 'Bad poets borrow, good poets steal'?"

The song was only released as an album track in Britain, but in America, as well as Germany and France, the song was released as a single in November 1979. Backed with "Visions of the Night", the British B-side to "Walking on the Moon", in America (but with "Reggatta de Blanc" in Germany and "Roxanne" in France), the single managed to hit no. 6 in France. However, the song did not make it into the charts of US and Germany. The song was also released in a compilation album, The Police, as well as in live form on the album, Live!.

Bring on the Night (TV series)

The show follows Kabir "KD" Dalal, an entrepreneur in his late 20s, as he and his friends turn a 200-year-old heritage building in Mumbai into an all-night club. The series was written, conceptualised and directed by Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy.

Plot

The show revolves around Kabir "KD" Dalal (Arjun Mathur) and his motley group of friends: Patrick Graham Fairbottom (Patrick Graham), Devang Oza (Hussain Dalal) and Maakad (Sarang Sathaye). Together with Patrick's ex-girlfriend Sheila Sethi (Dilkhush Reporter) and her friend Piyali Chaudhry (Geetika Tyagi), the Mistry brothers - the uptight Xerxes Mistry (Afshad Kelawala) and the dim-witted Hoshang Mistry (Kashyap Kapoor) - and their best friend Darius Dorabjee (Danesh Irani), the group converts a dilapidated 200-year-old building into a club.
