I found you through Welcome To Night Vale and I haven't been able to stop listening to this song ever since! I'm just wondering, are you able to post the lyrics anywhere? :)
i also foung this song through Night Vale(catching up to old episodes... I am a late comer to the show!). it is by far one of my favorite weather sections! many thanks for the wonderful music :)
Songs like this are really WHY I listen to WTNV. It's a great show anyway, but it introduces me to so many curious and wonderful songs and bands- like Satellite High from ep. 1, or Squalloscope. Now Kim Tillman & Silent Films! It's great. :D
Also here via WTNV -- immediately took a shine to this song, but couldn't find lyrics anywhere, so here's my best go at transcription: I'm all machine without a switch I've done my best to go without it Every blue moon I get convinced That I can't ever make it happen by myself I've been awake To see the day Devour the night I've seen decay Give way to growth and make the most of nearly nothing Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown Seductive and impeccable abuse You do to yourself I bet you know you do I love you 'cause I do it to you too These lofty thoughts are killing me Preoccupied by what I could be I get so high on my ideals Don't calm me down but you can meet me where I land I left the day In pursuit Of lucid dreams Now I drive for days To make my way back to those old familiar places Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown Seductive and impeccable abuse You do to yourself I bet you know you do I love you 'cause you know I do it too Oh, when the mountains gotta move I push myself to circumvent it And when I reach the other side I see we've both been reinvented I've been awake To see the day Devour the night I've seen decay Give way to growth and make the most of nearly nothing Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown Seductive and impeccable abuse You do to yourself I bet you know you do I love you 'cause I do it to you too Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown Seductive and impeccable abuse You do to yourself I bet you know you do I love you 'cause I do it to you too
Like most people, I found it through WTNV. It's been my favourite song lately, but I listen to most of my music on Spotify. Are there any chances of seeing it there someday?
I'm just another one who came from wtnv. Omg, this is amazing! I can't stop listening to it! The lyrics by themselves are a work of art, with the music, and the voice singing just melted my heart... I need so much more of this!
A war machine without a switch. Maybe I will never understand why I read a comment describing this as a famous literary quote "A war machine without a switch" instead of "i'm a machine without a switch...."
The iTunes link is no longer working for me... is anyone else having this problem? I also can't find the song by searching on iTunes. Is it not up anymore? EDIT: I just found the song by searching "Silent Films" on iTunes, and it came up in the albums section.
Yes, yes it is. I also think the concepts in this song are similar to that poem (something that could seem like romanticized love letter/song but is really a criticism of society and how hard it is to live a reasonable life) but I may be wrong ;p
this is literaly the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and i mean that with my whole, dumb little heart
This was the best weather segment Welcome to Night Vale has had in a while!!
sallie rawlston Right? That song was amazing. This one grabbed me right away too...
+sallie rawlston same here! And neptune's jewels by Mystic!
Found my way here 9 years later from Night Vale.
Absolutely one of the best songs for the weather!

NikoNoniDK Same! OMG! Can you believe about Cecil? I mean CECILOS but stiiiillll.
***** NikoNoniDK Glad you guys are digging it! Just added the lyrics to the bottom of the info.

As if I needed a reason to love this song even more, the lyrics are truly wonderful.
NikoNoniDK Same here, can't get that song out of my head
Me too, this song is amazing I can't wait to hear others!
What a talent. Her voice is like butter.
Ikr! So smooth
i also foung this song through Night Vale(catching up to old episodes... I am a late comer to the show!). it is by far one of my favorite weather sections!
many thanks for the wonderful music :)
BEST WEATHER EVER!!! AWESOME !!!
Found this song through WtNV, and I really love it!
Songs like this are really WHY I listen to WTNV. It's a great show anyway, but it introduces me to so many curious and wonderful songs and bands- like Satellite High from ep. 1, or Squalloscope. Now Kim Tillman & Silent Films! It's great. :D
OH MY GOD.
Thank you, Nighvale for leading me to this song!!!!
LOVE IT!~!!!!
But can't find an album, just this one single.
Took them 69 episodes... But they finally made me want to listen to the weather with this song
Her vocals are like hypnotic honey to the ears.
Already love this song!!! Found you through WTNV, and love it!
This is pretty much the only weather from nightvale that really stuck with me.
any reference to my favorite line from Prufrock has me won over right away. Great song!
This song is freaking brilliant. My god...
Also here via WTNV -- immediately took a shine to this song, but couldn't find lyrics anywhere, so here's my best go at transcription:
I'm all machine without a switch
I've done my best to go without it
Every blue moon I get convinced
That I can't ever make it happen by myself
I've been awake
To see the day
Devour the night
I've seen decay
Give way to growth and make the most of nearly nothing
Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause I do it to you too
These lofty thoughts are killing me
Preoccupied by what I could be
I get so high on my ideals
Don't calm me down but you can meet me where I land
I left the day
In pursuit
Of lucid dreams
Now I drive for days
To make my way back to those old familiar places
Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause you know I do it too
Oh, when the mountains gotta move
I push myself to circumvent it
And when I reach the other side
I see we've both been reinvented
I've been awake
To see the day
Devour the night
I've seen decay
Give way to growth and make the most of nearly nothing
Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause I do it to you too
Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause I do it to you too
Phoenix Talion Pretty Damn Close! Thanks! Check info again just added them.
Such a nice wheather!
My favorite weather!
Also here from Welcome to Night Vale. This song touched my qtpoc feels even before I found out who it was by or who Kim Tillman was. Thank you
That'll take a few more listenings to fully grasp.
Love the video work. That tongue!
Bahb Woolley Yeah, I'm working through it, too. Not sure which angle to end up with, though.
Like most people, I found it through WTNV. It's been my favourite song lately, but I listen to most of my music on Spotify. Are there any chances of seeing it there someday?
It is now on Spotify thanks for asking
I'm just another one who came from wtnv. Omg, this is amazing! I can't stop listening to it! The lyrics by themselves are a work of art, with the music, and the voice singing just melted my heart...
I need so much more of this!
Omg I'm so lucky my parents are friends with her :) her music s so good
My favorite night vale weather
some good weather here :)
amazing song!
Try listening to this song just once. It's impossible. On repeat all day, all night long.
I also discovered you through Night Vale. Utterly addictive! My only sadness is that this song is not on Spotify yet.
Some of her other music is though!
Yes is it now.
Fantastic! Thanks! :)
How do they find this stuff?
(WTNV)
So this song is wicked and I really like the lyrics and the vibe of it! Your awesome!
Glorious.
Exelent music
I am utterly in LOVE with this song

Addicting!!
This song showed up on my Discover Weekly on Spotify and I'm absolutely in love with it. *-*
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I just know this is going to be stuck in my head for the next couple days :)
And the Weather comes through again!

Man I loVE THIS SONG. The sound reminds me of Metric, and I love Metric. This is such a great song I love it
Like others here, even after all these years, found this song from Welcome to Night Vale.
Aga muhteşem be
I would love to get an instrumental version of this brilliant song.
Ideals
Sssssso good
A war machine without a switch.
Maybe I will never understand why I read a comment describing this as a famous literary quote "A war machine without a switch" instead of "i'm a machine without a switch...."
that's a wrap
For updates on our upcoming EP titled "The Drought" go to facebook.com/kimtillmanandsilentfilms
God I really wish I could buy this on Google play! The album is there but this song isn't...
The iTunes link is no longer working for me... is anyone else having this problem? I also can't find the song by searching on iTunes. Is it not up anymore? EDIT: I just found the song by searching "Silent Films" on iTunes, and it came up in the albums section.
I'm sure that's not Kool AD but by god does that look like Kool AD.
Who else is worried about and for Kevin?
And was that a TS Elliot reference?
Yes, yes it is. I also think the concepts in this song are similar to that poem (something that could seem like romanticized love letter/song but is really a criticism of society and how hard it is to live a reasonable life) but I may be wrong ;p
That bit with Bill Clinton hasn’t aged well has it
gay rights
Why does the music vid make sense only when I’m high?
This is "folk" music?
like.... almost cool. I almost like it. But the lyrics and Kim's personality and the music video err on the pretentious side to me :/
