Verse 1

Empty cups in the grass

Mud on my shoes

Long for the moment

That we don't have to do anything for a while

There's something in the air

You can't hold it back anymore

Tears of joy

We're never gonna forget this

Chorus 1

This is the longest night of our lives

We earned this

We dance in the rain

Until the sun sees us

This is the longest night of our lives

We earned this

I stick to the rules

But not tonight

Verse 2

You touch me, it startles me

I'm used to nothing being allowed anymore

I thought about this

We're allowed again, a new start

Nobody stops this burning heart

I've been waiting for this

Out together, now it's possible again

Skin to skin and once more

And see how the evening surprises us

With love and in full regalia

Nobody here can do us any harm

We're the makers of the night

And the night is ours

Chorus 2

This is the longest night of our lives

We earned this

We dance in the rain

Until the sun sees us

This is the longest night of our lives

We earned this

I stick to the rules

But not tonight

And the night is ours

SONG MEANING

Imagine stumbling across a festival field at sunrise, empty cups crunching under your feet, and realizing you have survived every rule, restriction, and rainy setback life threw at you. That is the rush pumping through “De Langste Nacht.” Goldband turns a muddy Dutch party scene into an anthem of release: friends reunite, tears of happiness fall, and the sky itself seems to give permission to dance. The song celebrates a collective we deserved this moment — an all–nighter where the world finally takes its hand off the pause button and lets pure euphoria spill out.

Freedom, rebellion, and togetherness drive the beat. The singer admits he usually “sticks to the rules,” yet on this night the only law is joy. Touch becomes electric, hearts ignite, and even the rain feels like applause. By chanting “the night is ours,” Goldband invites listeners to claim their own overdue celebration, promising that this longest night will be remembered long after the sun comes up.
