Things were pretty rough for me several years ago. I remember being in a blue funk - girl problems - when I heard this song for the first time.
I was in the Great Hall at BCIT doing my calculus homework when the loudspeakers, tuned to BCIT radio, played Here's to the Night. It immediately lightened my mood.
Here's to the Night reminds me of better times, and reflection on a past which really wasn't that bad. As Alfred Lord Tennyson said, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
Yes, I know it's a pop song, and some of you might think it's shallow. But for whatever reason, it resonates with me. That's why it's #2.
