Serena from SomersetWhat was the name of the masked man wearing the red gloves and long black coat near the end of the song ?.The song was titled "Qué Día Es Hoy" ("What day is it?") and the translation has nothing to do with the original it talks about so confused in love that doesn't even know what day it is. Aaron from MexicoBelieve it or not, Ricky Martin covered this song years before he became an international star (in 1993).Who is he? What else has he done in the entertainment industry? I would really like to know. Amy Holley from Alabama But who is the masked guy? It's not Russell Clark.Purple from Sri LankaI really really want to know the name of the man behind the white mask.Boomy from LondonThis sounds just like "Modern Talking" which came out later, wow!.Jrgrocks from Limaunlike this song was covered, I think this version is the best ever.all looked completely different then they did during the day. I used to do the club scene somewhat in the '90's & remember how clubbing was kind of like entering a different world to some extent.the lights, people, etc. However, they don't enjoy their dull daytime lives & look forward to the nights/weekends when they can go out again, enjoy themselves, and be "another person" for a brief time.
And, then when the day rolls around, they go about their daily lives - i.e. My interpretation is that it's about someone (specifically a woman, but apparently the first person to sing this song was male - so it could be about a guy too) who doesn't like the daytime & lives for the night-time, going out and partying, etc. However, I don't believe this song is about a "lady of the night" - that's too obvious & simplistic, IMHO.
The song & video are very interesting, as are these interpretations. I am now enjoying re-visiting the song after so many years. I heard this back in the '80's - however, I had forgotten about the song.until just recently when I saw the video for the first time. to experience this lifestyle.Įnjoying Laura Branigan's Self Control - superb song. You have to have lived in Italy, Malta, Spain, Greece. Once you go through this phase, you are out from 11 pm till 3 am every day. If you see the videos you will get the context of what i mean.
The women you meet in this lifestyle take your self control and day after day you find yourself in the midst of beautiful, made-up (painted girls), wearing white (a fresh summer colour that brings out the best in a woman). No worries about tomorrow or about getting into a serious relationship. I think it is about a male who is expressing this typical lifestyle of going out in the night,to a trendy bar and/ or discotheque, "letting your hair down", meeting up with the countless beautiful women (especially foreigners on holiday) having your night of passion, and tomorrow is another day. I put the song in the context of the culture and the way of life, in summer, particularly in the 80s. The original song is sung by an Italian, singer: Raf. Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)Ī safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it I, I live among the creatures of the nightĪgainst a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe itĪ safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream You take my self, you take my self controlīefore the morning comes, the story's told
