"Tender Is the Night" is a song by Jackson Browne released in 1983 as the second single from his album Lawyers in Love. The song peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100, spending 17 weeks on that chart after debuting at #79, #18 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and #24 on the US Adult Contemporary.[2][3][4] Unlike the next single, "For a Rocker", it is less rock-oriented. It was also released as a single in Germany and the United Kingdom.[5]
The song's B-side, "On the Day", is the second track on the album.
The music video for the song also included actress Daryl Hannah, whom Browne was in a relationship with at the time.
Reception
In his 1983 review of the Lawyers in Love album, Christopher Connelly calls the song "an outstanding bit of songcraft with a gutbucket bottom nicely set off by Craig Doerge's jaunty keyboard touches. Browne takes in the world of lovers with an appealing wistfulness."[6]
