About this listen
Intro by: Gail Nobles
Story by: Gail Nobles
The Velvelettes, those fabulous songbirds of Motown, really knew how to break a heart with their sweet harmonies and touching lyrics. Hailing from that legendary Motown sound, they brought a unique flavor to the scene, and “It’s Twilight Time” is just a stellar example of their talent!
Let’s talk about that opening line—“The night my lover said goodbye.” Can you feel the emotional weight just dripping from those words? It’s all about that moment of heartbreak, setting the stage for a story we can all relate to. And boy, do they paint a picture! When the moon fades from the sky, you can almost see the shadows creeping in, can’t you?
The depth of feeling they convey in phrases like “Black was the night he left me” and “Black were the days to come” pulls you right into their world. It’s a reminder of love lost and longing for the light that once was. And don’t we all know that struggle? That desire for everything to return to ‘twilight time,’ that magical moment when love was fresh and everything felt right.
With that lush instrumental background and those silky smooth vocals, The Velvelettes wrap us with a warm feeling as they long for those happiest times. It’s a classic Motown gem, showcasing not just their talent, but the emotional resonance that makes music timeless. The song highlights how delicate love can be, and every time you spin it, you’re reminded of the beauty and heartache that life brings. With the Velvelettes, it’s always a celebration of those unforgettable emotions! So, crank it up and let that Motown magic take you away!
