Daily Nightly
Hey music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a hidden gem from the 60s that will transport you back in time. The song I’m talking about is “Daily Nightly” by The Monkees.
Released in 1967 as part of their album “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.”, “Daily Nightly” is a psychedelic masterpiece that showcases the band’s experimental side. Written by Michael Nesmith, this track stands out with its unique blend of folk-rock and electronic elements.
The composition history of “Daily Nightly” is quite fascinating. Nesmith was inspired by the sounds of the Moog synthesizer, a groundbreaking instrument at the time. He incorporated its futuristic tones into the song, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that was ahead of its time.
But “Daily Nightly” is more than just a sonic experiment. The lyrics delve into themes of isolation and the overwhelming nature of modern life. It’s a reflection on the chaos and confusion that can consume us in our daily routines. The haunting vocals and dreamlike melodies perfectly capture the mood of the song.
Over the years, “Daily Nightly” has become a cult favorite among fans of The Monkees. Its influence can be heard in later psychedelic and electronic music, as artists were inspired by the band’s willingness to push boundaries and explore new sounds.
If you’re curious to dive deeper into the world of The Monkees and their music, I highly recommend checking out their album “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.” It’s a treasure trove of catchy tunes and thought-provoking lyrics.
So, what are you waiting for? Give “Daily Nightly” a listen and let yourself be transported to a different era. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Daily Nightly – The Monkees lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Darkened rolling figures moveThrough prisms of no colorHand-in-hand, they walk the nightBut never know each otherPassioned pastel neon lightsLight up the jeweled travelerWho, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreamsFind questions, but no answersStartled eyes that sometimes seePhantasmagoric splendorPirouette down palsied pathsWith pennies for the vendorSalvation’s yours for just the timeIt takes to pay the dancerAnd once again such anxious menFind questions, but no answersThe night has gone and taken its infractionsWhile reddened eyes hope there will be a next oneSahara signs look down uponA world that glitters gliblyAnd mountain sides put arms aroundThe unsuspecting citySecond hands that minds have slowedAre moving even fasterToward bringing down someone who’s foundThe questions but no answers
