In the song “One More Night,” Brown offers additional perspective on the changes in town as well as his own mortality. Now in his mid-thirties, he became a father for the first time over the summer.

I guess Bobby was right, the “times are a changin’” The places we once knew, are only getting stranger So meet me on the rooftop we can see this city’s heart Beating back the changing tide before it gets too dark Just one more night, of hangin’ on rooftops Just one more night, with my best friends Just one more time, before everything changes And everything golden comes to an end NJ STAGE 2016 - ISSUE 12 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 12
