"One of These Nights" is a song written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey and recorded by the American rock band Eagles. The title track off of their One of These Nights album, the song became their second single to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart and also helped propel the album to number one.
According to songwriter Glenn Frey, the song is about putting things off. "We've all said, 'one of these nights I'm gonna do something -- get that girl, make that money, find that house. We all have our dreams - a vision we hope will come true someday. When that 'someday' will come is up to each of us."
The B-side, "Visions", features lead vocals by guitarist Don Felder, and is the only Eagles song to do so.
[edit] Quotes
- "I've been searching for the daughter Of the devil himself
- I've been searching for an angel in white
- I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
- And I can feel her but she's nowhere In sight..."
