lyrics for ya’ll who listen to lyrics
Selene
good life, long love
it’s so easy to be complicated
it’s so hard to be simple baby
it’s so hard to be simple baby
maybe
she’s only perfect ‘cause she’s far away
in the spaces in between you can be anything
Selene Selene Selene
good life, long love
interstellar when you’re understated
tell me if we could be integrated
the reflection of a goddess in me
baby
she’s only perfect ‘cause she’s far away
in the spaces in between you can be anything
Selene
Inigo

Babe
You know you feel it
The time you gotta go
The time has come to leave
You know you feel it
The aching in your bones
It’s calling you
Take it it back around
To Mars
Inigo
Push it back around
To Mars
Inigo
Now you know for sure
Inigo
You don’t need to suffer
Anymore

Humans
we’ve been walking around
turning around
in the dust crowd
on a speck of light
I’m not sure if it’s me
but in the trees
every 30 years
there has been a fight
journey the night
driving with your eyes
wide shut to the fear
in clusters of time
could you recognise
a message unclear?
in an imperfect mind we’re
singing why?
could you treat us like humans please
singing why?
could you treat us like humans please
we’re not unreasonable
& the higher the highs
the lower the lows
everything grows
to a forest fire
& the longer it’s been
the higher the sin
for the kindling
of the emperors crime
walk through the tides
with a higher eye
on no one else here
project the sight
of the other “I”
that won’t disappear
just a word to the mirror, mirror
singing why?
could you treat us like humans please
singing why?
could you treat us like humans please
we’re not unreasonable
to trust
to love
to risk
to grow
to trust
Moonrise
touched by excellence
I shiver
laying in the grace of your light
sacred nothingness
no other
is allowed by my side
so do you want to know me
there is a place within
that only we can go
woah
bless me with your holy
nectar of the eros
that you hold
rolling down the river with you
holding to the petals of bloom
cannot get enough
cannot get enough
cannot get enough of you
an eternal moment in flow
I let go
only with you
rolling down the river with you
holding to the petals of bloom
cannot get enough
cannot get enough
cannot get enough of you
rolling down the river with you
holding to the petals of bloom
cannot get enough
cannot get enough
I can’t get off of you
‘cause you’re soft
like the moonrise
‘cause you’re soft
like the moonrise
‘cause you’re soft
like the moonrise
‘cause you’re soft
like the moonrise
rolling down the river with you
holding to the petals of bloom
cannot get enough
cannot get enough
cannot get enough of you
rolling down the river with you
holding to the petals of bloom
cannot get enough
cannot get enough
I can’t get off of you
Perfect kindness
whistling like
A darkness in tomorrow
I would never want to
feel alone
the planets loom above
a pocket full of gold
come and cover me
with your wildness
dreaming like a teardrop
in the snow
all the things
that we could never know
how will I believe in
perfect kindness
come and cover me
strangers on their skateboards
breezing by
on the streets where foxes
used to hide
the sky is purple now
A structure looms above
but somewhere there’s a place
where it’s alright
everything’s alright
everything’s alright
whistling like
a darkness in tomorrow
I would never want to
feel alone
come and cover me
with your wildness
come and cover me
with your wildness
love is perfect kindness
Silent song
I saw your face
& I call it love
back in the place
where I belong
sing or suffer
run into the crowd
once more
never ending
I took a fall
& I gave my all
died in the dark
to leap once more
the world keeps turning
the wheel keeps spinning
‘round & ‘round
never ending
silent song
I listen to your world
when I grow torn
from running to the dirt
silent song
I listen to your world
when I grow torn
from running to the dirt
silent song
I listen to your world
when I grow torn
from running to the dirt
silent song
I listen to your world
when I grow torn
from running to the dirt
yeah
Yeah
sink or swim
turn me around
from within
I listen to the sound
sink or swim
turn me around
from within
I listen to the sound

Давно слежу за вами ребята. Вы лучшие, и заслуживаете большего. Спасибо вам за ваше творчество. Из России, с любовью 🤎

[@Ixeon659]

Музыка у них пушка, согласен. Я даже успел заказать аудиокассету у них когда-то, всего 100 штук было выпущено тогда

[@rex1097]

So glad the algorithm brought me to this band. It's dope

[@thevalveman9636]

Heard " Humans" on Scottish radio one night driving home late...what an experience now discovering the rest of this fantastic bands output. You converted this 70 year old rocker!

[@solsailor]

i'm so in love with you all, this album is magnificent in every way and so LUSH! I'm obsessed.

[@2ellas2]

Majestic. Instantly mellows me out. Thank you!

[@AstroKaiDrama]

ЗАВИДУЙТЕ МНЕ! Я только что начал слушать эту группу. Сложно описать ощущения. Я будто бы был на шумной вечеринке, задыхался от ужасной музыки вокруг и тут кто-то отвёл меня на пляж и успокоил, показал спокойствие мира. Слушаю сейчас с блантом. Работал композитором в своё время в игровой индустрии, а сейчас свободный артист. Эта музыка даёт мне столько мыслей и новых границ в создании музыки. СПАСИБО ВАМ! КАЖДОМУ Я ДАРЮ БЛАГО! ЛЮБЛЮ ВСЕХ

[@koitka2037]

I'm so hooked.. and speechless! This is exactly what I needed.. Waking up to "Humans" on a sunday morning, my brain thinking "Where am I ?" Made myself some coffee, lit the roach from last night, and I fell in LOVE with these wonderful tunes. Thank you!!

[@annieramirez8342]

Yeesss...Love, luv❣️

[@kirdot2011]

I'd be really surprised if Night Tapes were never a warm up band for the Cannons band or the other way around!

[@michaelsinghpurewal]

ethereal as fuck!

[@DazbohHorde]

PLEASE release all of the material you have put out so far, including this - if it all fits - on a double LP release. I guarantee it would be a hot ticket item!! 🤞🤞

[@DazbohHorde]

Ask and ye shall receive! Just placed my order for the first 2 Demos Comp LP!! Beyond ecstatic for my copy to arrive!!

[@petercurrie8047]

You've given me some fantastic music this year it's been a massive massive release for me with my depression and anxiety it really has made a difference having music that actually fits my moods.

[@anthonywhite7283]

So glad I found your music.

[@thesecorridorsoftime]

Thank you and good luck for the future! 💙

[@Wyndorel]

I was intrigued while randomly coming across their last single but never would I have thought this band would be such a unique blend. Second, more attentive listen today... I'm in love I think.

[@jeremybarger9565]

All great songs...it made for a nice evening listen..keep up the great work...from the USA with love

[@darrelsdiamonds3353]

Had an idea that I thought I'd share here, hoping it gets noticed.
Was thinking that it would be great if Night Tapes could do fan requests of covers. I believe this could allow them to reach out to listeners of other genres, further expanding there reach and allowing more to discover how awesome of a band they are. It could also allow them to set up a patron to help with taking the time to do the covers and give them more resources to keep making there wonderful music. People would donate with the hope of having there cover request heard but even this can't materialise then the donors would still be happy I'm very sure to still contribute knowing the donation is also going towards future projects.
Finally ways for this to be successfull could be in the form of stand alone youtube cover vids, live UA-cam gigs with the option to donate enabled or via Stage It gigs, the online live music gig platform where you can buy a ticket to enjoy a live show from the comfort of your living room with the option to donate included to.
The cover I'd love to hear is Watch Me Go by Girls Aloud. It's so daft, fun and with a saucy cheeky edge, something im sure Iiris would enjoy performing very much (there's even a funny scream in the original song, noticing that Iiris loves a euphoric scream in a couple of songs).
Here are the lyrics
I just wanna do it to you baby watch me go
I wanna give you combination's I could tell you but you already know
(For sure)
I wanna feel that funky fever, baby I'm at the door
Got the keys, got the gasoline, pour it on I'm ready to blow
At quarter past one, I was having fun, tryna get it on, tryna make a move
Quarter past two
I was dressed in red, tied up to your bed, begged you on my knee
Quarter past three
I was in the shower, almost half an hour, you were at the door
Quarter past four
You were back again, said your name was Ben, then we went for more
I just wanna do it to ya baby watch me go
I wanna give you combination's and I could tell you but you already know
(For sure)
I wanna feel that funky fever, baby I'm at the door
Got the keys, got the gasoline, pour it on I'm ready to blow
At quarter past one, I was having fun, tryna get it on, tryna make a move
Quarter past two, I was dressed in red, tied up to your bed, begged you on my knees
Quarter past three
I was in the shower, almost half an hour, you were at the door
Quarter past four
You were back again
Said your name was Ben
Then we went for more
Strippers and the vicars in the back, cause mine cracked, jump on the mainline track
I take a little bit of pay OK, and the beat of the big trombone
So, strippers and the vicars in the back, cause mine cracked, jump on the mainline track

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know what you're been thinking you've been thinking bout my butt
Bet you'd like to know what's got my body feeling hot

(Love that end part, makes me laugh every time R.I.P Sarah Harding who sings those lines. Take care Night Tapes and hope to enjoy another live gig soon, again Manchester was sooo good last Friday, and if anything if I only managed to make you laugh today then job done.
