Bic Runga - No One Walks This Night Alone (Official Video)

As a Christchurch person this was a huge honour and I wanted to write something that was both solemn and hopeful. I know the people of Christchurch have suffered a collective trauma and it's been a really long road, and that the 10 year anniversary of the event was an opportunity to look forward, while of course never forgetting those who died and everything that was lost. I was especially moved by the news images of the city that day ten years ago, especially after night fall, the loneliness of that first night, hence the title 'No One Walks This Night Alone'. The message of the song, even though the verses are anguished, is that we are all in this together collectively and that love is what gives us the strength to overcome great adversity. No one should feel alone in the anguish that has occurred, this is something that has happened to us together as a city."

One of these days, you'll hold your head high So many years still to dream One more moment by your side What I'd give to see you laughing The planes and shadows leaving me With nothing left to try One day you'll see the meaning Of all the things you're feeling No one walks this night alone One of these days, one of these nights How can the past still be real? One of these days, you'll hold your head high So many years still to dream Wait, love's a moment away Leave behind the helpless past But the love will stay Give, there is love still to give Turn your face up to the sun We have fought and won Those the strength to overcome One of these days, one of these nights How can the past still be real? One of these days, you'll hold your head high So many years since we dreamed #bicrunga
