The Longest Night Of The Year — 2024 Version

A rebrutalization of song conjured up on the longest night of the year in 2020, originally recorded and uploaded here back in January 2021.

So for 2024's longest night of the year, here it is again.

The Longest Night Of The Year

Take the money
And run as if your life depends on it
All your sufferin’ was your big deposit

Hit the road where
You can ditch your worries from the back of your car
Or that driving won’t get you very far

On the longest night of the year
Just be aware
that a new dawn is near
In your darkest pit of despair
No need to fear
Those sounds that you hear

All the forces
Amidst the mountains and in the valleys
Cannot thwart your forward journey

Drag your hands through
The rivers and dip your head in the oceans
Cleanse those notions of a self-imposed implosion

On the longest night of the year
Just be aware
that a new dawn is near
In your darkest pit of despair
No need to fear
those sounds that you hear

Fight your battles
With your wits and a dose of sarcasm
Don’t forget to rassle up some of that razzle dazzle

When the money’s
Long gone, and you need a helping hand
Reach out for me and I’ll be sure to understand
