For My Sunday Song #442, we are talking “Baby, It’s Tonight” by Jude Cole. If you saw last week’s post, you know that song and album was produced and co-written by Jude Cole. I figured, let’s do a song by Jude before he became a producer. And we go back to 1990 when “Baby, It’s Tonight” was #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Jude and was the second single off his 2nd album ‘A View From 3rd Street’. I do love my pop music and back in the early 90’s I devoured Jude’s songs and albums.
This particular song is about a relationship that didn’t last. The split too soon and didn’t even get to say what needed to be sad. The singer is really lonely and he is thinking about her and wants to be with her badly. He tries calling but she won’t answer. I think his desire to be with her isn’t all physical, I think emotionally he wants to connect with her again. He loved her and regrets all the mistakes that were made. A heartbreaking song that musically doesn’t feel that sad.
The music is upbeat and quite the opposite of being sad. It is bouncy and simply pops. It has a great soft opening with only guitars picking away and then the band fully comes in and off we go. The chorus is huge and is really catchy. Give me a good hook, I’m all in.
