Night of My Life

About Night of My Life

"Night of My Life" is the title of the debut single for 2006 Australian Idol winner Damien Leith. This single was performed by the final two contestants - Leith and Jessica Mauboy - during the penultimate episode of Australian Idol 2006, and both contestants recorded and had their versions pressed by Sony BMG, ready for the winner's version to be released immediately after the competition. After Leith won the competition on 26 November 2006, the song was available online through Bigpond Music; Bigpond is a major sponsor of Australian Idol. The single was released as a CD on 28 November. The physical single contained a copy of Leith's original song "Come to Me", which can be streamed from his Myspace. The single was written by Adam Reily and is the first of the winner's singles to be penned by a local songwriter. A music video was shot for the song on 28 November. In less than 72 hours of "Night of My Life" being on sale, the single was certified Gold status. The single debuted at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart on 3 December, while certified Platinum after one week of sales. It was the fastest selling debut single for 2006, and was the most added song to radio. This single was the first Australian act to reach the No. 1 spot since Youth Group's, "Forever Young" in April 2006. It remained at number one for five consecutive weeks. Despite being released at the end of 2006, the single's strong sales placed "Night of My Life" at number eleven in the 2006 End of Year Top 100 ARIA Singles Chart. In mid-December, Jessica Mauboy's version of the song was released online by a New Zealand website which released it for legal download, even though she did not win Australian Idol. Shortly after, it was removed at the request of record label Sony BMG. However, it still remains available for illegal download online, and also remains available on the DVD accompaniment to her newly released album+DVD. more »

Here we are shooting stars
Renting time in someone else's space
So unsure afraid to fall
I'm standing here a little scared
But I don't care

[Chorus]
Cause this kind of moment
Is only on loan and
I wanna remember the look in your eyes
And when it's all over
I want you
To know that I was with you when I
Had the night of my life
The night of my life

So don't let go you never know
Maybe your whole life's about to change
So let's hold on until it's gone
Nothing's made to last forever
Who knows whether

[Chorus]

This kind of moment
Is only on loan and
Sometimes you don't know till it passes you by
And when it's all over I want you to know
That I was with you when I had the night of my life

maybe this whole thing comes right down to fate
And every choice that we think that we've made
Has put us right here together today, today, today

[Chorus]

'Cause this kind of moment
Is only on loan and
It won't be too long till it leaves us behind
And when it's all over I want you to know
That I was with you when I had the night of my life

The night of my life
The night of my life
The night of my life
