It’s hard for a song to put you in the mood from the first few seconds alone. Fortunately, Mister Co. do so with such a focused and loving warmth on ‘Tonight’ that you can’t help but start falling head over heels for this song from the word go. The immensely heart warming piece from this Melbourne based duo is the story behind their own relationship, recounting the life they have built together as life partners. It’s stirring, rousing, and raw in every which way. The kind of pure and evocative expressions of love and emotional depth that isn’t easy to come by or completely accept. Just the way they harmonise over ‘tonight, tonight, please just hold me tight’ is enough to bring a grown man to tears. The electric guitar adds its own emotional weight to the song, and that voice recording announcing their marriage at the end just adds to the emotional vigour that the song holds over you.
It’s not easy to listen to songs like this when you’re alone, but they have you feeling and yearning for those moments that are yet to come. The sheer joy you can hear behind their performance is enough to have you craving to find your own one of a kind life partner to complete you.
