The source video I used to create this one is here: [ Ссылка ]
That was the best-quality upload of this music video I could find. In fact, it was one of only two uploads I could find, it was the only one on YouTube, and it is an exact copy of the other one, which was uploaded to the Russian website Mail.ru six years earlier, in 2013, which can be seen here: [ Ссылка ]

It already had a good-quality audio track replacing the original one, but it is not quite as high-quality as the one I am using, and the main fault with the video is that it is out of sync, with the picture running early compared to the sound. It is also too loud compared to the majority of music videos; the volume level has been set too high.

Replacing the audio track involved slowing down the footage slightly, as it was running a bit fast compared to the HQ audio track I am using. The music video footage begins after the music starts, and it appeared that perhaps it was not supposed to do this, as the footage seemed to appear too suddenly, so I decided to add a short fade-in from black to improve its appearance. The music video footage ends quite long before the track comes to an end, so to accompany the end of the track, I have put up on screen a picture of the single cover as released in the Netherlands.

I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics. I have also upscaled the resolution from 360p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video.

This song was written by Judie Tzuke and Mike Paxman. This track was produced by John Punter, and was released in 1979. According to Wikipedia, this single reached No. 8 in Australia, No. 16 in Judie's native UK, No. 19 in Ireland, No. 50 in the Netherlands, and No. 101 in the USA. Astonishingly, it has been her only hit single to date.

I currently have one other video featuring Judie Tzuke, and it's this:

The presentations of the lyrics to this song found on lyrics websites all seem to contain a number of mistakes. An official presentation of them is to be found on the inner sleeve of the vinyl releases of the 1979 album "Welcome to the Cruise". However, there has been no such presentation included with CD releases of the album. A picture of the inner sleeve can be seen here: [ Ссылка ]=
As is often the case, the official presentation of the lyrics is not totally accurate either, so I have needed to make some changes to present the actual words being sung. My own transcript of the lyrics is presented below and as optional subtitles in my video.

Lyrics:

"Stay With Me Till Dawn"

- Judie Tzuke

(Words and Music by Judie Tzuke and Mike Paxman)

Is this a game you're playing?
I don't understand what's going on
I can't see through your frown
First you're up, then you're down
You're keeping me from someone I want to know

But I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes, I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn

It's the same old situation
Every word so finely placed
Running around my concentration
Is the feeling that I've just got to break out and say

Oh, I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes, I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn

[Break]

Is this a game you're playing
Playing with my heart?
(Need you tonight)
Ooh, stop playing with my heart
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn

[Break]

Yes, I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn
