lyrics:
young night
feels right
with your heart wide open
just like a child
almost keen to pain
you wear a suit
to the beach & I’ll be
running in black
through the waves with you
understand
there’s a danger to pleasure
in reflections that I
reflect back to you
lately I’ve been dreaming
every day’s a game
everyone I meet is a hero
lately I’ve been dreaming
that the world is good
life is just so good with you
sometimes
the tides
turn the darkest shades
the hues of perfect blue
let me swim
until I’m due
take my hand
&nd my world into your own
just as I am
melting into you
lately I’ve been dreaming
every day’s a game
everyone I meet is a hero
lately I’ve been dreaming
that the world is good
life is just so good with you
life is just so good
life is just so good with you
life is just so good
life is just so good with you
understand
there's a danger to pleasure
in reflections that I reflect back to you
take my hand
& my world into your own
just as I am melting into you

Night Tapes somehow perfectly combines all the elements of dreampop, synth, vocals, and lyrics that my brain craves. So grateful to be here for the ride as their catalog grows 🎶

Great to see Iiris succeeding further; appearing to be in, what seems to me, her most natural and original form yet.

[@theonlydiego1]

This was one of those rare songs upon hearing the first 3 seconds, it was instant like.

[@infinitegodaikinbrent8174]

The more you listen to this song, the more you hear the music masterpiece it is! This song from start to finish and the beautiful lyrics is just so awesome! Thank you Night Tapes for sharing this with all of us, so our souls can groove with you. Much love and respect. 🇺🇸🤗🇬🇧

[@thakonwitwechpiat7689]

The lyrics, the singer, the dance, the shooting, and the vibe atmosphere. They are all beautiful.

Geez, can the bridge just last for an eternity? When the bass comes back in I feel it in my soul. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts/talents with the world.

[@adrianmoreno2354]

Bruh that voice is so damn cute and calming, I have only ever heard such a high pitched voice in Japanese female singers. I am sure they will quickly become dreampop/ dreamgaze legends soon.

Ive been a fan for a long time now its great to see indie music going from strength to strength night tapes deserve the sucess they are finally getting,great young band. ❤❤

[@mrclaytron]

KZbin randomly suggested Night Tapes in my feed recently. I'm so glad I took the chance to click the video so I could listen and drift away with your music and visuals. I must say I absolutely LOVE Every Day Is a Game - its truly a beautiful song.

[@winderside]

literally the same! i just saw this video in my recommendation page and randomly clicked. one of my best random clicks, that's for sure

[@sunsetman22]

future classic in the making

[@themantisshrimp_]

As someone who's been following you since 2019 I am beyond impressed and enamored by your evolution as a band. This song and video is such an amazing achievement in aesthetic, youthful melancholic beauty. I cried falling asleep to this song for a week with the emotions it elicits and I couldn't be happier being one of your biggest fans. As a San Franciscan Native, Artist, and Music Geek, I find such blissful escapism in this song. Very great new EP ❤ Ive been showing it off to so many of my fellow museum worker and educator friends

[@quasarvillenights3266]

a certain personality, a certain charm, a definite vibe in all their stuff.

[@fortylurcher]

me and a friend got really high on 420 and went on a mini road trip. we had a friend who was driving, sober, and when i put this song on the aux he got so immersed in it that we hit a bank and almost fell over the cliff side lol. we had to sit on the cliffedge for a while to get over it. one of my favourites :)

[@OloffMusic]

It's not really a type of music I would typically listen to but man, the mixing/production on these tracks is INCREDIBLE.

[@kaiookalanikanuha2613]

One of the best groups out rn

[@NicolasDominique]

Apple Music just dropped me this in their Chillout Mix playlist. Really lovely tune.

[@buddhahat]

I love seeing with every release how quickly the view count increases for your clips. Every release is showing faster and faster uptake, i hope the algorithm takes hold soon and rockets you to greater visibility on KZbin. You really make beautiful music, thank you for all your releases so far I can't wait to see what's next for Night Tapes. Love from Adelaide Australia ❤

[@oefentsekodisang8726]

It’s so refreshing to hear the authenticity of a voice without enhancements like auto tune.Beautiful and unique voices of all time for sure.

Hooray! Your songs are so extraordinary in comparison to others in shoegaze genre, I can't stop listening. Thank you for making our days brighter with your creativity! 😊

[@nighttapesmusic]

thank u 🎉💙

[@cl8804]

calling this shoegaze is a pretty far stretch

[@crimsonfancy]

@@cl8804I thought about the labeling of it as shoegaze and while it may be a stretch, I'm ok with it. It's maybe not so much in the traditional sense and I assure you I'm first-hand familiar. With so countless many genre and categories crossing back and forth, I feel I could work Swervedriver, Lush and a few dream pop artists into a party setlist that would appeal to those attending. In this case it's still psychedelic, dreamy, somewhat distorted though now refined and with less guitar drive but offering a cleaner "noise." I appreciate that the vocals and the songwriting / lyrics from Night Tapes are intelligent and have direction enough to imagine a story behind it. More pleasant and approachable these days while remaining well underground. 🤷‍♂ I'm certainly no authority but do see enough to appreciate where this poster is coming from. /cheers, friends

[@cicholasnage]

​@cl8804 they call everything shoegaze nowadays

[@crimsonfancy]

@@cicholasnage Interesting. I'm less engaged these days but I will pay better attention. Thank you for offering something for me to look for. I see so many newly named genres and even outside of music so many labels that I may would consider divisive....hopefully not so here.

[@poolring]

the lyrics, the visuals, the punch in the drums, the sounds, the harmony, the vocals. it's all just so good with u Night Tapes (:

Love you guys. The vibe your guys music gives off is unique. Please don't ever chnage your sound. Don't let the industry change you.
