"Across the Night" was the fourth and final single released by rock band Silverchair from their fourth album, Diorama. It is the first track on Diorama, and is a major departure from their previous, grungy sound which was featured on Frogstomp, which was released in 1995. This more progressive type of songwriting is also present on Silverchair's final album, Young Modern. A video was created for the song in the style of early 1920s cinema, featuring acclaimed Australian actor Guy Pearce.[citation needed]
