Hi, everyone
I hear a song called “Evergreen”
you’re the one good reason
You’re the only girl that I need
Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen
I’m gonna take this night
And make it Evergreen .
Could you tell me the meaning of Evergreen in this context ? Is it forever Green ?
I also hear the phase “the night is young”. What does it mean ?
Thank you for helping me
Yes, literally evergreen means forever green, like a pine tree that stays green all winter. In this case, he is using it figuratively, saying he hopes the night (or at least its memory) will live on forever.
As a side note, an “evergreen” also refers to a newspaper story that is not time sensitive, usually a “human interest” story, that can be used sort of as filler on a slow news day.
The night is young means it is early in the evening, it has not been night for long, so “the night is young”.
Thank you for your help, Luschen. Have a great day
Luschen,
You have used this phrase: “that can be used sort of as filler”
Can I say: “that can be used sort of a filler”?
What is the difference between the two?
To be grammatically correct, your version would have to say “that can be used as sort of a filler”. You could also say “that can be used as a sort of filler”. I don’t think there is any difference between the three.
