Discover the story of the song > Heart Of The Night – Poco

The song is about the protagonist being in New Orleans at night, where the full moon is shining on the Pontchartrain river. They hear a night bird singing and people carrying on in the streets. The protagonist is reminded of their partner as the river rises, and they trust in their partner's love just like they trust in this town. They feel at home and happy in New Orleans and feel like it's the only place that feels right.
