Tonight
The opening track of Colour Green, a short narrative of coming home hurt and seeking comfort.
Sibylle Baier, from Colour Green (2006)
Sibylle Baier wrote "Tonight", the opening track of Colour Green, 2:26, recorded at home between 1970 and 1973 and released on February 7, 2006. Far Out describes it as a short narrative of coming home hurt and seeking comfort. The Bearded Gentlemen review calls it finger-picked acoustic guitar, frames it as coming home from work around an unseen strain, and says she calms a confidant with simple dialogue, moving seamlessly from plain to plaintive. A student radio blurb mentions a cinematic string arrangement, but Wikipedia credits strings and organ only on "Give Me a Smile", so we leave strings out.
NTS lists it among her most played tracks. We found no artist statement about it, and no chart entry, video, live history, covers or samples. We have no evidence that our upload is anything other than the album version.
