this song is so cyberpunk it’s got my mind jumping the part about technology and the soul.. i forget we can all relate to a lot of shit, music always helps me remember. thanks for this 🖤
me too. gives that synthwave vibe of an old 80's film. the intense sidechain and the crisp snare popping through along with the vocals is just a beautiful thing.
Pretty sure its sampling (or at least interpolating?) Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun. Im p sure they have the song or at least the band on gta
Great point, I was just thinking the same. The video absolutely makes the song even more intense and ethereal. People are comparing them to 80s bands but this is pure modern music. She is beautiful.
UA-cam's compression funnily enough makes this song sound better than the high fidelity one that's on Spotify. Sounds more ephemeral, which fits with the song's theme.
This takes me back to those nights where all I needed to smile was the open air of the back steps, half a bottle of wine, and a couple of cigarettes, and the pleasure of knowing nothing needed done tomorrow.
@Chris_Prime check out Roosevelt's self-titled debut album if you haven't already. It's like dude took 80s new wave pop sound and modernized it and made it his own with a positive spin on the sound. I really like it.
Welcome back my algorithm brethren, it's so fantastic to see you again. Hope you're doing well in life and may our perfect music tastes bring us together again ♥
I just took the most mondo rip while listening to this song and had a moment that felt like I experienced a level of pleasure I had never known before with this song playing in the background…. That was…peak
My gaaaad I have fallen in love with this song!!! Hugs from 🇨🇴 So, a personal update , I used to listen to songs and dance them with my dog (13yold), unfortunately he passed away on Tuesday and this was the last song we listened to together.
fr reading the lyrics also makes me think of K and JOI in blade runner 2049, sorta the existential nature of that type of relationship/connection the artifice and real in an world with this type of technology
this song is going to highlight my 2024. somehow i always find myself listenting to this song when im having a happy day. i appreciate this song so much. thank you night tapes.
The cinematography matches this track so well, I love every rush of color that’s passing along my screen, and every dreamy sound 💽💛 a true digital trip
This is almost certainly going to be my most played song in 2024. [EDIT 4 Jan 2025. My prediction was wrong. It was my second most played song of 2024; only beaten by New Order's True Faith]
i used to get high with my ex all night listening to songs like this one. we are no longer together. i'm pretty sure i'll never be happy again the way i was with her. but it's ok. life goes on. this tune is amazing❤
This is flawless. I mean come on, they hit us with a club track that actually smacks ridiculously hard?!? The melodies and of course the voice and harmonies were spot on. This is why they were my Spot top artist
So I say Romanticism must die The mind that lords over love Is just un-fucking-useful An idea An idea that doesn't let you choose As I stare into a blaze of desire That is forever youthful So I vanish to a cobalt sky The shape of what I thought was I Wild shadow with a pale blue eye Romanticism must die Ain't this the dream you wanted all along? Solid honey you can call home Ain't this the dream you wanted all along? Most of us are just drifting Ain't this the dream you wanted all along? Solid honey you can call home Ain't this the dream you wanted all along? Most of us are just drifting Do you believe That you'll stay forever young With the right technology Evade the laws of physics What about The crust that forms around your soul?

This came on Apple Music while I was driving for uber. I saved instantly this is one of those songs that almost makes you look at music itself different.

Came for this comment because saaaaame!
Same
frr
All hail
They all sound the same with thier lo-fi, dream pop music 😂
Welp. That’s going in my playlist
same sounds good af
This needs to play on gta 6 radio
Definitely
lol there’s plenty of similar things more og and better production than this that will be on gta 6 im sure
@@meowxdhahalol really ? ,gta 5 had many small /unknown artists and songs in their radios,so did gta 4
@@Raouftali-wi6ym did i mention smaller/unknown ? or gta 4 - 5 ? 😣
@@meowxdhahalol i thought you were talking about famous artists/songs when you said “better produced”
Credo che questa canzone finisca nelle radio di GTA6.
Questo è più di un semplice complimento
I love bands that try and bring that 70/80s sound. It’s so good.
I don't, and I still love this song for some reason.
its more then that too, the old mixed with the new, simply sublime
Try Cannons Fever Dream and Heart Beat Highway Albums. Start at the song Bad Dream and then work your way through. 80s 90s bliss too.
me too. gives that synthwave vibe of an old 80's film. the intense sidechain and the crisp snare popping through along with the vocals is just a beautiful thing.
80's synth pop nostalgia.
Stop thanking the bloody Al'Gorithm and thank Night Tapes!!
No, thank BOTH! :)
@@MichaeltheORIGINAL1 fair.
Brother I've literally never heard of or thought of "night tapes" until the Algo randomly showed me it moments ago. Shit do be evil but also helpful.
@@Ekim2F94 you make a good point.. Spotify algo sent me to Night Tapes, same evil different planet.
Algorithms work like a special key to secret doors so it can definitely take credit. At least partially that is.
This sounds like something I'd hear on Radio Mirror Park while driving around in Los Santos.
That's a compliment btw.
Pretty sure its sampling (or at least interpolating?) Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun. Im p sure they have the song or at least the band on gta
realest comment.
THE BEST radio station I heard no one talk about. Fire song too
@@terryeubanks8797 Oh that would be sick !
If Cannons, Empire of the Sun and Late Night Alumni had a child, this is what it would be. Absolutely stunning song.
Definitely feeling the Empire of the Sun flavor. This is a hidden gem for sure! Thank you algorithm haha
Damn I used to listen to Empire of the sun on repeat like 10 years ago I'm gonna dig up some of my favorites again...
Grateful for "heads up" on the other bands. I too, am thankful to algorithm.
Don't forget MGMT hahaha
And Grimes voice
I love it when female vocalists do those breath-y, whisper-y, sigh-like vocals.
Check out this song called Loving You by Cannons
There's literally ONLY about 7 standard voices in WaHmUn vocalists. Trash ranges. . . mostly mascots. Men are better at everything.
Cute bop tho.

I see that. My thoughts were Fleetwood Mac meets MGMT
I totally see that!
It honestly sounds like Empire of the Sun
+ Fleetwood Mac + Sam Gellaitry Gullible the Keyboard riff!

Чем-то напоминает ladytron - ace of hz
Great words.
Occasionally, the youtube algorithm still gets it right.
This is good music
This the direction the 80s should have continued in. It's like a "Sound-Gasm".
Не знаю что такое "звуковой газ"" Но да, музыка очень такая должна быть ага

The same feeling I had when I discovered Men I trust and Yves Tumor.
Simply sublime. Majestic
EXACTLYYY
@@belle2716 Thank you for the Men I trust tip!
Your life changes after you discover Men I Trust. I have listened to them at least once everyday since I found them.
I've become mesmerized by this track. For a moment it makes me feel like I'm 17 again lost in a new world.
It’s amazing that a song can pull us back to our youth, but it does and it’s very emotional. Can’t wait to see them live.
🤗
What's your age?
@@MrShuckedSean I’m 33 now I grew up listening to a lot of indie pop, indie sleaze etc. This song just feels like something from 2009.
Dream pop style matches her voice very good
Оооочень, я влюбился даже
I salute the quality of the lyrics. It makes the song that much more enjoyable.
I'm 91 years old and this is the best stuff I've ever heard
I'm 66
Worth the wait apparently
@@Sethro92😂🤣
okay grandpa
You got good taste 👌🏼
I want to listen to this while going 200 mph through the badlands of Night City.
At first I thought Grimes collabed with Empire of the Sun but I am pleasantly surprised I was wrong. Thank you for the banger 🔥🔥🔥
Imagine a tour with Night Tapes, Magdelena Bay, and Cannons 🤯
i neeed that

one of the best songs this decade

Here before the slowed + reverb mixes.

Before it’s been ruined by tiktok and instagram soyjaks you mean
This song has that feeling when you're alone, but everything is right where it should be. ♥
What a beautiful voice. It's like touching a very soft cat.
It’s candy sweet and ethereal
Love the bass on here and how beautiful you are
Where has this song been all my life
This song is so euphoric. I am already imagining a movie scene of two people on acid while this plays in the background
I would definatly go see this Band. What a great writer and sound she has going.
2021 night tapes listeners knowing one day they’d blow up and it’s finally happening now
Sounds like Men I trust and Empire Of The Sun had a love child. Awesome track!
Bro I was thinking the same thing!
this is so sick.
some weird blend of 2007 nostalgia mixed with something else I can't put my finger on. I really like it.

So I say
Romanticism must die
The mind that lords over love
Is just un-fucking-useful
An idea
An idea that doesn't let you choose
As I stare into a blaze of desire
That is forever youthful
So I vanish to a cobalt sky
The shape of what I thought was I
Wild shadow with a pale blue eye
Romanticism must die
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Solid honey you can call home
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Most of us are just drifting
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Solid honey you can call home
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Most of us are just drifting
Do you believe
That you'll stay forever young
With the right technology
Evade the laws of physics
What about
The crust that forms around your soul?
The loops of recurring thoughts?
The edges of your being?
So I vanish to a cobalt sky
The shape of what I thought was I
Wild shadow with a pale blue eye
Romanticism must die
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Solid honey you can call home
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Most of us are just drifting
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Solid honey you can call home
Ain't this the dream you wanted all along?
Most of us are just drifting
And I feel I can begin again
Most of us are just drifting
And I feel I can begin again
Most of us are just drifting
UA-cam Music has informed me that I listened to this 150 times this year and is my #1 song. :)
I feel crazy old now that we’re going back to that late 00s/early 10s Empire of the Sun sound
This is ridiculously catchy
This is effing gorgeous. One of the best overall aesthetics imaginable. Just the right amount of distortion and glitchiness to be artistic without becoming distracting. I love everything about what has been done here visually. I'll remember this video for a long time.
After listening to this song 100 times I have decided that I'm glad I found it yesterday.
this song scratches the right itch in my brain
I believe that the things beyond my control, such as being late, the songs you play on shuffle, delays, unexpectedly meeting someone, inconveniences. Is the universe steering me. Things beyond my understanding such as the way that lives intertwine in the city or in society, as we all pass by each other - Are going to bring me somewhere I ought to be
1:07 I'm in love with her squeaks
the youtube recommendations are finally working omg
Really good one, a bit reminding Empire of the Sun style ))
I'm starting to really appreciate all this "light" and "sound" stuff.
That feeling when the UA-cam algorithm actually recommends you a good song! Would've never found this otherwise.
I've contributed at least 50 views to this vid since I found this song 4 days ago. Hauntingly beautiful sound.
Yesss 2013 indie dreamy music vibes coming back, I loved the editing
Most underrated band in the world right now
This song is so magical.
I'm not exaggerating❤❤
imagine driving at the night with this song, but you have all your friends with you and you guys are riding in the city with this like omg😩
holy shit! best random click of 2023!!
Thank you UA-cam for suggesting me this masterpiece
I can't believe UA-cam suggested something I actually enjoy. This band is awesome!!!
I've followed might tapes for ages it's good to see them doing well.❤❤
My taste is quite varied, but this might be the best song ever
DAMN, this song took me to places I've never been to before. And I think this is the first time I can feel it clearly.
I wanna listen to it again
Empire Of The Sun vibes are strooong here, absolutely love this!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Why can't it just be it's own thing?
This came on Apple Music while I was driving for uber. I saved instantly this is one of those songs that almost makes you look at music itself different.
