"One of These Nights" is a song written by Don Henley and
Glenn Frey and recorded by the American rock band Eagles. The
title track from their
One of These Nightsalbum, the song became their second
single to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart and also helped
propel the album to number one. The single version was
shortened from the album version of the song, removing most of
the song's intro and most of its fade-out, as well. Don Henley
is lead vocalist on the verses, while Randy Meisner is lead
vocalist on the refrain. It also features a guitar solo from
Don Felder
According to songwriter Glenn Frey, the song is about
putting things off. "We've all said, 'one of these nights I'm
gonna do something -- get that girl, make that money, find that
house. We all have our dreams - a vision we hope will come true
someday. When that 'someday' will come is up to each of
us."
The B-side, "Visions", features lead vocals by guitarist Don
Felder, the only such Eagles song.
