At Night, the prose piece

There is a video on YouTube of a very young, broody and cool Robert and co in what is purportedly their first TV appearance, on a French music show. The tune is A Forest, though the lyrics are definitely not. It is played rather more up-tempo but finishes with Simon's heartbeat base.

The final words are

Someone's got to watch

At night'

Which is the title of this piece, used in the song At Night and references the final word of Kafka's piece:

Why are you watching?

Someone must watch, it is said. Someone must be there.
