LYRICS:
Liquid Nights And Disco Lights Gavin Dunne 2019
I could be a swinging sickle
Turning to a factional nomad
I could be a friend so fickle
Or I could be the best you ever had
I could be the dull divider
Paint between the tyres on either side
I could be a gene defiler
Wishing for a head so fine and wide
Got to get, to get down
Find a rhythm to pick me up
And catch the beat of this town
What could pull me together
Got to get, to get down
Trace the bullet and sift the dust
Catch the beat of this town
What to find to feel better
The streetlights and the ravers
And my trails of misbehavior
Lost in liquid nights
And whirling disco lights
The burden of tomorrow
All the shame regret and sorrow
Lost in liquid nights
And whirling disco lights
I can't recall a thing
So why do I feel so sad?
I could be a man of money
Soaking up the sweat upon your brow
I could be less lonely honey
If I could just remember you right now
Got to get, to get down
Find a rhythm to pick me up
And catch the beat of this town
What could pull me together
Got to get, to get down
Trace the bullet and sift the dust
Catch the beat of this town
What to find to feel better
The streetlights and the ravers
And my trails of misbehavior
Lost in liquid nights
And whirling disco lights
The burden of tomorrow
All the shame regret and sorrow
Lost in liquid nights
And whirling disco lights
And I'm whirling through the half light
Shivers down my spine
Don't know what I'm becoming
But I know I'll make it mine
I can't recall a thing
So why do I feel so sad?
This was my favorite game of 2019 and I'm glad I finally found a decent song idea to pay tribute to it. Took me a few tries, ha! And yes.... FF7 is next, before you all ask :D
Special thanks to Studio Zaum who captured some unique clips for the video.

miracleofsound my favorite game as well and damn I loved this song too.
My big thanks to you ) Was waiting for song about this game this whole time since the release)
Awesome! Great work ^_^
Just one of your best song, i love it!
This song was so good I just got arrested for public masturbation. You're the best, Gav!
“I can’t recall a thing, so why do feel so sad?” Has to be one of the most depressing and catchy lines I’ve ever heard.
This line pretty much descibes Disco Elysium
As a man who has woken up in a puddle of . . . Things with no recollection of the prior 7+ plus days before I must say I understand that feeling a little to well. Took me a while to piece together where I was and what I was running from too, the language barrier didn’t help though.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus Glad You’re doing better bud
"I can't recall a thing. So why do I feel so sad?"
Ouch.
Because you know that one day, in spite of every preventative measure you've taken, that you'll end up remembering it.
You know what I'm talking about, funky baby. You just don't know it yet. Or re-know it, anyway.
But don't you worry. It'll still be there. All red, raw and blistered. Waiting for you.
It'll always hurt. 'Til the day you escape this hardcore-fucked plane of existence at long, long last.
Or until you decide you finally want to let go. To heal.
But who the fuck am I kidding besides me, sad brother?
Why try to become someone you can be proud of when hating yourself is so much easier?
@@rando5638 I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore
@@rando5638 Man what a well written comment! Matches the lingo of ancient reptilian brain.

A funky dance song about feeling depressed. The perfect song for 2020.
I love how it's also very much a Gavin song and that it incorporates the game's RPG storytelling into the lyrics.
Yeah, that sums it up :D The idea was to capture a feeling of realizing that one's Disco days (i.e vibrant, carefree youth) are behind them... and the nostalgia, loss & change that comes with those feelings. Disco Elysium has some very relatable themes, haha
@@miracleofsound you have never failed to impress me . IMO you are the best music artist i have had the honor to listen to both in lyrics and singing
Hold on, Good song! But let`s not be negative! 2020 is not depressing, You are! I`m sick of all this " Blah Blah, 2020`s so bad, so sad " crap, You know i know i maybe getting the wrong idea but it`s hard with how you sound, Ya`ll need to start being positive and having hope or we`re never gonna get through this " At least right now in the world, Places are starting to open up and pollution is starting to go down! That`s 2020 right there! But look i`m trying to be sincere and does anyone get it?
@@miracleofsound You nailed it man, I feel that chorus in my soul.
@@djamtz If we can't see things for what they are, we can't make them better.
"I could be a friend so fickle
Or I could be the best you ever had"
- these lines get me every time.
Thumbs up if you love Kim as much as I do!
If anything were to happen to him, I would kill everyone in Martinaise and then myself
ACABEK (All Cops Are Bastards Except Kim)
"If an assault were launched on this building right now - if the windows came crashing down and the whole world descended upon you - this man would hurl himself in death's way to save you.
You're sure of this...but why?"
Kim is my boi
@@TheR00k because Kim is a good man who’s your partner and partners look out for each other . . . At least they are meant to.
I love that the entire first part of the song is just responses to the game's tagline: "what kind of cop are you?"
Pretty sure this music is the music of a Superstar.
And no.
No you can't convince me otherwise.
Sort of a rockstar sort of a popstar
This is the music of a late stage alcoholic.
@@kingdoge616 Then it's time for a motherfucking redemption arc.
Maybe a hobo, or the law
CODE 31! I REPEAT, CODE 31!! OFFICER REQUIRED AT THE DANCE FLOOR!!
I SAID GET YOUR GODDAMN GROOVE ON!
HELP KIM I THINK I'M TURNING INTO SOME KIND OF HYPERSTAR
Dance for the Emperor, brother
I HAVE BECOME DANCE, DESTROYER OF WORLDS!
Finna fuckin’ boogey down, boys
You know... I wouldn't mind blasting this song on a boat ride.
But for real, this feels like straight out of the game. It works perfectly with the rest of the soundtrack and captures the tone of Disco Elysium perfectly.
"*He* is the Musical Engine. He never stops. He only gets better."
If this game actually does end up being made into a television show, this song would be great for its title sequence.
It’s great idea, but it might need to be rewritten for spoilers
@@LeafseasonMagbag just cut off the spoiler parts or just not show the images that give it away
Late yes, but I think it would be better as Ending song, as the end of this songs "Why do I feel so sad." would be a great melancholy way to end each episode.
And I'm whirling through the half light
Shivers down my spine
Don't know what I'm becoming
But I know I'll make it mine
“The limbed and headed machine of pain and undignified suffering is firing up again”, and there's nothing you can do about it. “It wants to walk the desert. Hurting. Longing.
Dancing to disco music
I only just got to play Disco Elysium and it made me realize the clever wordplay with "whirling through the half light, sends shivers down my spine"
I've been thinking of how to word the way this song makes me feel for a few years now.
I've stood on the edge and tried to jump off of it before, and there's something about this song and Disco Elysium that speaks to the wounded part of me. It helped to pull me back.
According to Spotify this is my most listened to song since 2020. That worries my family a lot when I tell them that, but I just think they don't understand what it's like to feel lost in the world the way I did. It gives me a feeling like I'm not alone in my struggle.
In particular the lines "The burden of tomorrow, all the shame regret and sorrow" speak to a part of me that I wish didn't exist, and it says "You're not the first one to feel this way, others have pulled through and so will you" and I know that's a weird thing to say about a song that I've nicknamed "depression disco" but it really helped me get through tough times in these last few years.
Now I'm putting my life back together and finally feel like I have a future again. My girlfriend and I are getting married next year and are planning to have a child together. And I don't think I'd be here to say that without art like this song that helped me feel understood.
Thanks for making this, I love it dearly.
Same for me 😊 Nice that you can see your future again 👏
Good for you! I hope I will get there someday to
@@ProjectEkerTest33 for sure, everything would be good)
Hope things are still looking up
@@beevers93they are, thank you very much!
I made the mistake of listening to this song.....
in the shower. Almost slipped and fell when try to dance.
make sure you are in dance-safe surface before hit 'play'
"Got to get down" takes on another meaning this way, doesn't it?
Was this comment written by Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau
"Catch the beat of this town" is such a great line
I am aware that this is a song about a game but being an alcoholic for the majority of my 20s this tune is truly symbolic, both lyrically and melodically. The alterations in tones and the need to replay it despite it making you feel bad... Gavin you said you were having a tough time last year but you completely peaked with this. Bravo dude.
Man then you really should try Disco Elysium. It’s such a good game and I’m sure you will resonate with the protagonist. It might just be the best game for you!
Same
The game is also about being an alcoholic.
Disco Elysium is one of the best games I've ever played! HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!
"or is it really?"
@@flacon1588 yeah, it most definitely is
I did like it but despite generally i am happy about tons of text in games, this game had too much so i wasn't bored by playing but tired of reading. But now i watched this video and want to give it another try
INTERNALLY COHERENT!
@@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781 the version their coming out with that will also be on console I think voices the majority of the text now.
Can we get some appreciation for the growl that Gav managed to pull of on 'shame' at 1:38?!?
He got in touch with his Ancient Reptilian Brain.
Huh, didn't realize Gav was a metallica fan.
@@nicklapallo9090 bro! I mean I know this song is recent, but it's not _that_ bad!
Release in 2019, and here we are in 2023. This year has the worst beginning for me, and listening to this song with all my thoughts coming is at the same time pain and calm. I always had a feeling of sort of nostalgia or a memory that have faded in my mind, the perfect song for describing my mental health actually.
I just have to say, for anyone who will find this comment, stays strong, I know things when I say life can be really bad, but you have to keep moving on, and you will be happy again, I promise.
Thank you all
Thank you!!!
How're you doing now, buddy?
"All the regret and sorrow. Lost in liquid nights. And whirling disco lights." Somehow this brings back the memory of some rainy nights of the 90s, when my parents were still young. Didn't know a thing about life and could play Age of Empire 2 for days. I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore...
Holy cow Gav, you really outdid yourself with this one. "Don't know what I'm becoming, but I know I'll make it mine" is such a fantastic line, it really captures the spirit of the story and the game. Plus the style. the unique clips, all of it just comes together as easily one of your best.
ZA/UM gave you CUSTOM CLIPS?? I love the scene of Harry tripping with his shoe and launching it through the window
R.I.P Disco Elysium 2
Corparate greed claimed another victim
"Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would *critique* capital end up *reinforcing* it instead…"
@@caelvanir8557 That's gay (in the Capitalist way)
Better no sequel then a soulless cash grab.
Watching this again in honour of the Final Cut coming out today.
Stay weird, Martinaise.
OFFICER
ARRIVING
AT THE SCENE
I honestly never expected you to do a song based on this game but I'm super glad you did. It works perfectly, like pretty much all of your others.
same here, 100%
This might be your best one yet Gav! What a tune! Funky yet melancholic.
Just like HDB
Oh man, I guess the break really helped, because this is one of my favorite MoS songs!
I know nothing about Disco Elysium but this is making me feel all kinds of emotions
The game itself does that.
Moreso than other games that specifically went for "causing ze emoshunz".
Right, Detroit?
@@MrFright2010 Detroit is shit compared to Disco Elysium, let's be frank. When I started the game for the first time and I heard my Reptilian Brain and Limbic System talking to me about feelings I knew so well... that changed how I felt about games right there.
I'm so happy you did a song on this game.
It's truly special and has honestly sort of ruined RPGs for me with just how good it is. The characters story, presentation, music and roleplaying mechanics were all top notch.
And this song captures the game's vibe perfectly!
This game was like only all the interesting parts in rpg games condensed in to one game with no boring filler.
I'm amazed at just how well you managed to capture the spirit of Disco Elysium. Depressing and grueling, but with a slight tint of hope in the ever-engulfing darkness. Thank you so much for this!
Not played Disco Elysium yet but this song really reminded me of the days before I stopped drinking. Summed up the highs and lows fantastically and also made me go and buy the game... after listening to the song half a dozen times.
Also, the first time it came on I still had my player set to 1.5 speed. A dance/trance mix would definitely work great.
Yeah, Disco Elysium is a really good depiction of sobriety after addiction, and the struggle it brings with it.
Also, have you finished it? Did you like it, did you replay it already?
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 If I recall correctly, some people working on the writing are recovering alcoholics, hence the relatable depiction.
БУХОЙ СИЖУ ПЕРЕСЛУШИВАЮ УЖЕ ХЕР ЗНАЕТ СКОЛЬКО РАЗ
ГОСПОДИ НУ ЗА ЧТО НАМ ТАКАЯ ШИКАРНАЯ ИГРА
Уже два года прошло, а я все бухаю и переслушиваю...
Братишка, огромный плюс. Пью за твоё здоровье
I don't know if Gav reads these comments anymore, a year and a half after the song came out.
But I just wanted to say thank you to Gavin. Thank you for getting me through 2020 and 2021. I've been going through a rough spell these years mentally. And this song in particular just felt like a shoulder to lean on during all this. A few lines in particular just stuck with me. "What could pull me together" and "What to find to feel better".
This. This pulls be together. This makes me feel better.
Thank you Gavin. Stay awesome.
I Very Rarely log in to this UA-cam and whatever google shit.
I played this game, showed it to my 65 year old Mom and she got overwhelmened and loved it.
She decided on what to do more consequent thqan I did. She had another point of view. and shed did things different.
We talkked about things, we talked a lot of our why, but yeah, it is good.
Just in case anyone didn't know, you can right click the video to set it to loop. Saves you the trouble of hitting the replay button.
Bless you sir :D
Thank you sir
Any idea how I'd do that on a phone?
Emotional Masterpiece! I have tears
Димас, я тебя понимаю
Since I started the game 2 weeks ago, I have been crying on a daily basis without any outside reason. I finished in this Sunday, but the crying continues. It's honestly a weird relief to have this song to listen to now.
Hopefully you're feeling better now, but in case you aren't, remember what a young woman told Harrier once.
ACELE - "Life's an horror, shit, I self medicate. But crying helps"
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 thank you for this. Everything is so much worse now, I couldn't even imagine things being this bad, and it will only get worse and worse, but! Crying still helps. I guess it always will, the last resort. I felt warmth from your message too, thank you. Acele is wise as heck))
@@springspleen7310 Hey, you'll get through this, you've gotten this far already, if you feel overwhelmed, hopefully you have a close friend or family to help you bounce, you got this Detective :').
Also yeah, Acele was really smart, although her choice of friend was poor (seriously poor girl freezing out the tent for nothing)
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 yeah, her smarts hadn't really helped her there. To be fair, she probably didn't have too much of a choice, and was wise enough to ask two mildly suspicious middle-aged policemen for help :D
@@springspleen7310 Yeah, and hey, if you're smart enough, HDB can even get the kids OUT of the drug dealing idea, and just have a normal disco club.
While I think it's uninteresting quest design, it really feels like a win for Harrier, so I'll let it slide, it also let's me give Acele a roof over her head without promoting the local drug business, which is also nice lol
LETS DO THIS BOYS AND GIRLS!
God, that bass is gonna be stuck in my head
I think I have a new feel-good song. These lyrics are so down, but I'm vibing and happier than I've been in months. Additionally, I think I have a game I need to buy.
DE has a lot of dark themes but also themes of self-discovery, forging a new path, exploring new ideas
[Inspiration Check: Legendary(100% chance of success)] CRITICAL SUCCESS!
As expected of you, Detective Dunne.
One thing i always loved about the podquisition back in the day when Gav was a host, was that he basically shares my exact taste in games, and it was always nice to hear someone else out there talk about RPGS in a way that resonated with me.
And it's the exactly the same with his videogame songs, you can find hundreds of youtube fan songs about minecraft, or LOL, or fortnite, or whatever else becomes the flavour of the month mainstream gaming darling- but a handful of tracks about those little RPGS I enjoy- from someone who clearly understands the tone and themes apparent in the work- just seem so much more special in comparison.
OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS LEGIT AN AMAZING SONG! NOT ONLY IS AN AMAZING DISCO ELYSIUM INSPIRED SONG BUT IT'S AN AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND CATCHY SONG
I LOVE IT, 10/10
It’s a rare thing, to find a song that’s absolutely flawless in every way, good job!
It's rare for some artists, not Gav.
@@jolantru3085 For MOST artists*
Drama: Hell yeah, superstar! Get up there and break that shit down SAD style!
Electorchemistry: And let's feel shiny while we do it!
I'm absolutely addicted to this song. I've never played the game, but the lyrics just ressonates with me.
Came back here to say that I've been listening to this non-stop and it made me pick up the game for the 3rd time. Brilliant song!
I love that sounds like one of the voices is the "reptilian brain"
listened to this while I was on a road-trip. Was one of the few songs I had saved to my phone, and it never got old. That trip was so memorable... almost brings a tear to my eye, remembering the shenanigans and the friends I may never see again. Thanks for the music.
IT'S A HIT, BRATAN!
Miracle of Sound writing a song on Disco Elysium
Havens exist
Big Props to the studio for helping out with this!
This game touched my soul. I sincerely loved it and felt it through my whole being. That is a masterpiece that trespassed the "game" format and went beyond. This is a "real" thing. And your song Gavin, again - it is a miracle of sound indeed. I admire your ability to feel games and to make brilliant songs out of them. That is a gift of God. Keep it up, brother.
P.S. The piano in this song is like teardrops, when combined with funky disco tune creates the realization how Mr.Dubois is trying to pull himself together at the face of his heavy memories, sorrow and depression, focusing upon the investigation no matter the cost. I realize that his stupid follies are just a way to keep himself at bay.
Maan this is just a work of art. Not only captures the game's spirit but also somehow completes it. It makes me melancholy and reflective every time. Thank you for your work 💛
Out of all your work, of which I have supped since my earliest gaming days, this one has remained the strongest to me. Funky and soulful, but poignant and grim, as well. Elysium, along with its Liquid Nights & Disco Lights, has lodged itself in my conception since 2019. I hope it never leaves.
I like that almost bittersweet 80s feel to it 👌🏻 Top notch song to vibe to
This may be one of your best songs yet! Absolutely amazing!
Never heard of this game, but it looks fucking amazing.
The song is definitely influencing in this, but even just the disco scene looks brilliant.
Update; bought the game
He worked with the devs to get specific clips
Which is just the best thing
@@LeafseasonMagbag Oh, so that's where some clips like Cuno dancing come from.
@@LeafseasonMagbag Seriously? That's why I haven't seen this shit in game. Damn.
We need a 3rd update
Well what you think about It?
New miracle of sound song is an instant click!
An impulse click you never regret!
In such occasions I firstly call my best friend and we both watch video of the new song every time
"all my shame, regret and sorrow"
A reference to the themes of disco elysium, planescape torment, and torment: tides of Numenera maybe?
I mean, Disco Elysium is in some ways an almost direct descendant of Planescape Torment
More like a reference to life and all the mistakes we make along the way.
A week ago I wasnt too into this but it has wormed its way into my brain and I keep finding myself whisper singing "Got to get to get down" while working.
Can't stop coming back to this song, absolutely golden
This song alone makes me feel genuinely incredibly sad, even though I haven't played any of this game. You fucking *nailed* it, Gav.
I just typed Miracle of Sound to check for some music, and it's been 2 mins since you posted this, holy heck!
Miss you on Podquisition matey, totally understand your reasons, but I miss you
I’ve never played this game, so why do I feel so sad.
Love how versatile you are while still sounding like. That's a hard line to walk as a musician, and you always manage to pull it off. Keep it up, Gav. 💖
this game and your song is criminally underrated. This song has kept coming back up in my mind ever since you released it.
This song actually got me to play the game. The alcoholism message struck a really personal cord with me and now that I'm playing the game it might be in my top 3
Every time when i feel myself melancholic I came back to listen this song, nod to rhythm and just smoke in air.
Fun fact-- This was my song of the year. I may have fallen hard into a Disco hyperfixation, but that doesn't mean I cant jam out to the best of tunes!
1 year late to the party, but just noticed, you posted this on my bday! (and the day I got the game from a friend)
I wish I could hear the instrumental. That bass line is mesmerising. Marvelous song.
Getting back here, after finally finishing the game, I realised one thing for sure - this song begs for a karaoke version.
You're so talented, Gav. You're able to capture the tone and themes of the source material while creating something completely new and illuminating. Thank you for all the great listening experiences.
This makes me so happy on so many counts. First, is that it's one of your best songs ever, and captures the mood of Disco Elysium perfectly. The other is that it's a song for such a small game. Amazing work!
Now that the Final Cut has come out, I had to come back to listen to this one again. Its definitely my favorite of yours.
Still your best song by far, love every second. I come back to this almost every day- it made me play the game, works even without knowledge of the source material. Kino.
This is your best song. Thank you for this gem
Remember that you're the disco star of your own life.
This became one of the most played songs in 2020 for me and an absolute favorite. Gives me Bowie vibes somehow and I will not stop being impressed by this song.
Probably my most played song since 2020
It really is a perfect song to end your work shift
It's so melancholy, filled with dread and sadness
But also somewhat hopeful, reminding us that there is always a reason to keep on going
anyone that loves this song but havent played disco elysium, trust me your gonna love disco elysium too.

ON THE SCENE
Life has been feeling like drifting through a half-awake lucid dream because of recent events, and this song really captures how that feels. Excellent work as always, Gav.
Can´t believe this does not have more views. Thought the new release might bump it.
A groovy dance and a shudder over (and under) your skin at the same time.
You know I liked this when it came out but it didn't grab me like some of your other stuff does. Coming back to it a couple years later, still not having played the game, it sticks in my head so much more for some reason.
Couldn´t say anything more eloquent or funnier that wasn´t already said. Just wanted to say: Thank you, Gav, really this is amazing. Really struck a cord with me. Enduring, melancholic...love it. (sorry for the broken english, chilean fan here).
Over a year later I'm still coming back to this one all the time. It's just so damn good.
Damn, that was a god damn funky song while still sounding really clean! This was a fun song to listen to and definitely gonna be in my head for a while, thank you Gav!
Mankind, be vigilant; we loved you.
Dancing and feeling of sadness. Wonderful. As usual. Thank you!
This song is the sole reason I know about this game and is the sole reason I bought it last week.
40.000 to a Million, lets go!
I remember there was a time I stopped listening to Miracle of Sound, I just didn't like the songs as much, but this one and the FF VII ones remind me of when I first started listening in! I think I've listened to this one on repeat like thirty times and I love it. Keep up the awesome work Gavin, you're truly an amazing artist!
Дякую, що радуєш нас своїми піснями!!!

I just finished this game a couple days ago. Was super stoked to see you made a song about it. As soon as I finished, this game became my favorite CRPG I've ever played.
This song was amazing and made me tear up in a way that only my Ancient Reptilian Brain can understand.
been listening to this for a week you broke me...
I really like that song but i don't understand much word but I feel this song get me much emotion and I am very greatful for your determination to create it . Thanks love
I didn't think anything could top City of Night or Setting Sun. But you've gone and done it Gav, my new favourite Miracle of Sound song!
I also could just zone out to the backing track, just that opening on loop and I'm in a different universe
