Georgi – That Night (feat. Sanjay Henry)

A bittersweet dance: Georgi's dark wave masterpiece

First of all, why I love this song: It is intim­ate mel­an­choly that invites you to dance. Georgi's “That Night” is just such a piece for me – a dark wave / synth pop gem that strikes the per­fect bal­ance between a gloomy atmo­sphere and a catchy light­ness. From the very first listen, I was reminded of bands like Twin Tribes or Artemas, who also weave this bit­ter­sweet sound­scape that is both nos­tal­gic and mod­ern at the same time.

The lyr­ics are an emo­tion­al roller­coast­er ride, telling of long­ing and vul­ner­ab­il­ity. Lines like “You get me high­er and it makes me sad” and “I'd sell my soul if you made the deal” go straight to the heart and rein­force the track's under­ly­ing mood of mel­an­choly. For me, this per­fectly reflects what Georgi him­self says about the song: it's about the magic of fleet­ing moments – intense, mys­ter­i­ous and full of heartache.

Musically, “That Night” is a suc­cess­ful blend of pulsat­ing rhythms and float­ing synth melod­ies. The pro­duc­tion by Al P (MSTRKRFT) gives the track a pol­ished dark wave touch that makes it both dance­able and pro­found. It's remin­is­cent of clas­sics by The Cure (A Forest) or Sisters Of Mercy (Dominion / Mother Russia). I was par­tic­u­larly impressed by how Georgi man­ages to com­bine these dark sounds with a cer­tain access­ib­il­ity – the song is catchy without los­ing its depth.

For me, “That Night” is more than just a club track; it's a state­ment. Georgi impress­ively shows how to bring the clas­sic dark wave sound into the present and cre­ate some­thing of your own in the pro­cess. If you like mel­an­chol­ic synth sounds, you should def­in­itely add this song to your playl­ist. I highly recom­mend it.

Lyrics of "Georgi – That Night (feat. Sanjay Henry)"

You made me feel
I love the thrill
Is this for real
That night and
Just come to me
I could be your girl
Heavens your world
That night and
You get me high­er and it makes me sad
That you’re hold­ing back
From this thing we have
So don't tell me
That you’re com­ing right back
If we’re going off track
& I need you now

It takes a lot
Cause I don't know how to
Carry on
Babe I thought I found you

That night
We were alive
That night
That night
That night
You got me high
That night
That night

Don't start with me
Don't stop baby
Fuck being free
Give it all to me
Just say my name
Tell me i'm real
I’d sell my soul
If you made the deal

You get me high­er than I ever knew
Want to run my fin­gers down your spine tattoo
So don't tell me
That you're not com­ing through
That I’m over you
Cause i need you now

It takes a lot
Cause I don't know how to
Carry on
Babe I thought I found you
That night
We were alive
That night
That night
That night
You got me high
That night
That night
That Night
