I bet everyone here has a song (or two, or fifteen) that they’ve been rinsing during this period. In the first few weeks, one song I couldn’t stop listening to was “I want to see the bright lights tonight” by Richard and Linda Thompson. for me, it’s the ultimate song about a messy weekend night out. All the weird but wonderful human interactions that go down. Not knowing what might happen once you head out that front door. Maybe a little hookup, a good time, even a hint of danger. But whatever it is, you know you’re going to forget about the boredom and stresses of everyday life for a few hours. I imagine the reason I’ve been so drawn to this song is because I miss that all very much, I bet a lot of us do. I suddenly had this idea to cover the tune and hopefully make a video by asking you all to send in pics and vids of your cities at night. I told this idea to Raissa, one of my favourite new artists (& recent Zelig-signing!). She had never heard the song before but loved it and within hours sent me back an incredible vocal that brought a freshness to the tune I hadn’t imagined. And then the your footage started to come in, and it was beyond anything we could have hoped for. So much emotional depth, humanity, humour, love and universality. Jamie-James Medina took all that and was able to make maybe one of my favourite videos I’ve ever been involved with. (I really wish we could have used all your clips, but alas the song is only 2:30) Anyway, a huge thank you to everyone who sent in, for letting us into your nights. We couldn’t have done this without you and you all made my heart smile, break, burst… now enjoy this vid, every bit of it made from love. Dedicated to Andre Harrell, Hal Wilner and all the bright lights who shone. P.S. to the many King Princess fans out there who saw her tagged in the original post, el King was going to sing at one point, but she has her own SUPER HOT FIRE coming very soon so her and I thought it best not to distract from that
I love you!
Give me a ❤
Missing the warmth of closeness and community especially hard today, this was beautiful and reminded me that life isn't over yet. Wonderful project, and I'm ecstatic that my mother's sock on my foot is now in a Mark Ronson video for .5 seconds. Much love and peace and blessings from DC ❤️🌈😌
It's amazing!! 💜
Wow, I thought I was the only one who felt like this before going out at night. It’s exhilarating, and I really feel that with this song. You always manage to make music that resonates with our deepest emotions and desires; we love you for it. Truly your music is the soundtrack to many lives, especially mine ❤️

Wishing you and yours lots of bright nights during this pandemic, Mr. Ronson. Thanks to you and Raissa for great video & interpretation.
Love his new take on this- it’s an old Richard Thompson folk rock classic and this is such a brilliant example of Ronson’s eclectic taste!
thank u for this, Mark ⭐️🌃❤️

As a crusty old RT fan I was all prepared to bristle with indignation with the way his song had been massacred. In the event, I loved it! There is something about many of Richard’s tunes that suit a female vocal and Raissa nailed it.
So glad to hear that - thank you Chris ♥️♥️

You’re so fricken sweet 🥺💞💞 THANK YOU
Thank you Mark!
Thanks you ASTERI bravo ❤️👍
Greetings from Macedonia!Nice Song!
Always loved the original song. My parents used to play it on their record player. I do think it needs a more soulful, earthy voice though. At least this version will have prompted people to seek out the original.
I want to see the bright lights tonight
such a beautiful song Thank you Mark & Raissa
gran versión :D

Good work, Mark!! Lets stay safe at our houses just to be together after that! !!****LYRICS***!!!!! Enjoy! ❤️ I'm so tired of working every day Now the weekend's come I'm gonna throw my troubles away If you've got the cab fare, mister you'll do all right I want to see the bright lights tonight Meet me at the station don't be late I need to spend some money and it just won't wait Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight There's crazy people running all over town There's a silver band just marching up and down And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight I want to see the bright lights tonight Meet me at the station don't be late I need to spend some money and it just won't wait Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight A couple of drunken knights rolling on the floor Is just the kind of mess I'm looking for I'm gonna dream 'till Monday comes in sight I want to see the bright lights tonight Meet me at the station don't be late I need to spend some money and it just won't wait Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight. I want to see the bright lights tonight
amazinggggggg
We are the lights...Bright Lights..
Bravo !
Who else remembers Mark from the time when he collabed with Bruno mars for Uptown Funk
Yea and he did nothing.All of uptown funk was doing Bruno Mars.He was doing nothing.He just stole the song
@@vladimirlesevic6833 pretty sure he made the lyrics, the style, the instruments to be used right?
lol i remember when he was doing songs in 2007 with amy winehouse ^^
I remember when he Dj'd Coachella and opened for PDiddy! That's way before Bruno.
@@vladimirlesevic6833 He stole the song? Are you kidding me? He produced and wrote the song, Bruno only performed it. You tried that thou...you tried it.
Very nice man

Long time RT fan here and I love this version. No doubt some crusty jumper-knitting Ewan MacColl wannabes will bemoan it though.

Who loves uptown funk 😊❤️
For those who may be curious, here's the original from Richard and Linda Thompson. Richard is a peerless musician and songwriter who's been at the very top of his game for over 50 years. kzhead.info/sun/aJuJdbKthYiXo5s/bejne.html
Both original and this version are superb!
@@kescowethtys Well if it makes more people aware of Richard and Linda, then I approve!
I love R and L Thompson's version so much. But I also love to hear new interpretations.
Yeesh
To me this song is way better than the miley cyrus one I so love this one
Surra, Kuwait
Musicão! Curti muito!
Brono Mars
It's Under-rated
Mark whats that miley in the car.looking hangry video and why is it private er are the toronto public WE WANT TWO SHEEP
Love the sentiment and all the pics - the dogs broke my heart!! Possibly the vocals could be a bit faster and with less emphasis/heaviness/emotion on the repeating phrase "I want to see --- etc." (from an RT fan)
😍😍
@Mark Ronson I love your work, keep going.❤️

if i knew i would’ve sent a videoo
@Mark Ronson ughh i keep falling for these comments 😭 ty dolla sign once answered to me too
Lmaooo, they misspelled the name of my city 😂 they wrote Matupo instead of Maputo
Waw
lamentável ... só aparece São Paulo /Brasil - e os demais países da America Latina????? que pena, numa pandemia mundial, ainda precisamos lutar contra o preconceito ...e o vídeo até estava bom / unfortunate ... only São Paulo / Brazil appears - and the other Latin American countries ????? what a pity, in a global pandemic, we still need to fight against prejudice ... and the video was even good - google translate
Darn, mine didn’t make the cut.
