He has since released three more albums, but he is what we in radio call a “One Hit Wonder”. Unfortunately, that was pretty much as far as it went for Eagle-Eye. Still, his debut album, Desireless, went platinum and the first single, “Save Tonight”, went to #5 on the U.S. His half-sister was Neneh Cherry, who had a huge hit in 1989 with the song “Buffalo Stance”.His dad was famous jazz trumpeter, Don Cherry (who also co-wrote and performed on Lou Reed’s “All Through the Night”).I was working at a Top 40 station at the time and pretty much the only thing I knew about him was: I’ll try though to keep it brief and mix it as well as possible and Save Tonight is one of my favourite covers.Eagle-Eye Cherry came on the scene in 1998. 1 min for each song, although that won’t be always possible due to each song’s structure. With the 60″ song cover series I intend to perform each time approx. The song was released in 1997 and its biggest breakthrough was to reach no.5 on the Hot 100 in the US.Īnother local hit was in New Zeeland, where Save Tonight was declared song of the year in 1997.ġ997 is also the year when for the first time I heard (during MTV’s golden era) but also performed the Save Tonight cover on guitar.

His father was a jazz trumpet player ( Don Cherry – profile on Wikipedia), while his mother (Moki Cherry – native Swedish) is an interdisciplinary artist and designer. About Eagle Eye CherryĬherry is a Swedish singer, born on, in Stockholm, Sweden. The solution is to make the best of that night “So take this wine and drink with me”, prolonging the time they had “let’s delay our misery” while admitting that his heart is full of regrets “But girl you know I’ve got to go Lord I wish wasn’t so”. The singer is supposed to leave the next day and this creates an emotional cascade of events: on his side “It ain’t easy to say goodbye”, while he advises his partner “Darlin’ please, don’t start to cry”. This can be understood from the beginning of the chorus: “Save tonight and fight the break of dawn”. This song is about a simple yet meaningful romantic relationship and highlights that every second spent together by the couple should be cherished.
