"Touch In The Night" - a perfect example of pop music 80-х! The tune sounds very cool even today, after so many decades... This is the kind of music that really makes us dance. The lyrics, the performance, the arrangement, the dancing, the music video is definitely a masterpiece ! And songs like "Touch In The Night"will be masterpieces even in 200 years! After listening to this composition you inadvertently plunge into the retro atmosphere: you get a strong sense of deja vu, as if you were a child again and everything was fine... As one comment under the video says: "This song is like wine. The older it gets, the better it gets..."
The song was written by the keyboardist Silent Circle, Axel Breitung.together with German songwriters Bernd Dietrich and Engelbert Simons..

As for the lyrics, the song sings about love... The story is narrated on behalf of the main character who sings:
"Touching in the night is an unreal feeling!
Touched in the night - so lucky in love.
Lost in your light is another secret.
Touched in the night is all I do.....
You are my Angel in the flesh..."
Generally speaking, the lyric is quite sad, and the dynamic belligerent melody emphasises this... Shortly after the single's release... "Touch In The Night" group Silent Circle enjoyed great success! Numerous reports and TV shows followed, new singles such as "Stop the Rain in the Night" and a ballad "Love is just a Word"and high positions in the charts...

We also suggest you to watch an interesting work of an unknown author (as the video quickly went viral, it is difficult to say who exactly it belongs to): the video is a battle of foreign young dancers, though - skilfully edited! Along with the video, the song "Touch In The Night" sounds even more exciting and dynamic.....
And then you can't help but think of the phrase, "I wonder how the girls dance!"
