"The Night" is the title track of Morphine's fifth studio album, released on DreamWorks in 2000. Mark Sandman wrote it and sings it, and he produced it with the band; Jerome Deupree, Morphine's original drummer, is back behind the kit, and Jane Scarpantoni adds cello, a long way from the bare bass, sax and drums the band was built on.
The album took two years to make in Sandman's home studio in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the sessions wrapped up just before his sudden death in July 1999; the final mixes were overseen by Sandman and saxophonist Dana Colley. It was their first album made as a quartet, with Deupree, who had once quit over health problems, playing alongside Billy Conway.
