Silversun Pickups - Nightlight (Official Video)

[@LisaMBello]

Dark, heavy, melancholy, and a little bit of lovely. That's what Silversun Pickups does. Chills and tears are a bonus.

[@Eddiethenotsogreat]

Lisa Bello You're a bonus.

[@CraigFisher1]

Eddiethenotsogreat yeah, Lisa is awesome!

[@Eddiethenotsogreat]

[@chadcassidy1580]

Lisa Bello favorite song since Swoon!!

[@YourMusicPress]

Lisa Bello perfect description

[@xstalpha8838]

i couldn't sleep for a million nights, the radio kept playing the same song over and over and over and over and over... love it

[@cheyd45]

This song is amazing and deserves a lot more recognition.

[@docholiday13]

It was a viral leak video for the video game Cyberpunk2077. And one of the best ever tbh, for any game.

[@geraldlee5317]

I entirely agree that this is a slept on song and the video is dope.

[@ccmetalhead]

It’s ok

[@232iburn]

The band as a WHOLE deserves a LOT more recognition... they're amazing!

[@sirfizz6518]

Indie is almost always underrated, practically by definition

[@12-losttribes]

As a black man who was supposed to be a music producer as I found my passion in sixth grade I discovered that I love everything about music the beats the instrumentals the vocals the ad libs everything and this song here I'm literally in love with the sound of the drums and the guitar and of course how the band fucking killed it yo

[@chriswheeler6092]

I love the song, but the video and images are a bit confusing to me.

[@B0neyKingofN0where]

Goosebumps. Every time. This is the Silversun Pickups I fell in love with.

[@markmaroney4466]

I loved this so much I went and purchased their previous album. It was even better!

[@braveunicorn6264]

I hadnt listened to this band in quite a few years and came across them again recently, and I've been on a Silversun pickups kick since! I'm on their second album currently. This band is so underrated. ❤

[@DavidBrown-nj6eb]

One of the *very few* videos that actually takes its song to a new level.

[@tinablack8599]

silversun pickups sound is a gem in a land of stones. they carry a serenity in their music that is incomparable.

After all these years..... Silversun Pickups still one of my fave bands. "ladies and gentlemen it's time to.."

[@heidisigler5236]

Love this band! So impressed with how complex their musicianship has become. Killer drumming on this track!!

[@MichaelHuntertz]

'We only want it with the lights out!' this was a pivotal moment in LV 4 myself. while findin my career, i should've known how formal this 'affair' exactly was! Great town, even more phenomenal folks. Other worldly!

[@williambogs5750]

So many people worked so hard on this video, and the results were incredible. Thank you, Meg. Your performance was... breathtaking. The scenes with those contacts are either really cool, or really terrifying. I've never been able to decide which. Brian, Nikki, Joe, Chris... Never looked so creepy. What an amazing vision! I can't imagine what this cost to put together, but its worth every frame.

[@TheLarainsd]

If you liked her in this, then you really gotta Chk her out in the TV Series "HANNIBAL" 👍👍👍👍👍👍 One of My Favorites

Awesome song and awesome video! I just listened to it in 2024 for the 1st time.

[@Joe_Laughs]

This song is of the finest rock & roll. I can't get enough of it. This piece is not just a music video, the line was definitely crossed into short film, & it's intriguing.

[@merienr.6417]

The Silversun Pickups are such a great hidden gem but they shouldn't be hidden. Share everyone, share!!!!

[@2ndSTG]

when did you find them?

[@Lula19S]

The music video for nightlight is really well done. The actress in this video gives an amazing performance and her voice is really hypnotizing! Silversun Pickups sound great on both this version and their acoustic KEXP version. x

[@geraldlee5317]

I know right? This is a great short film in and of itself. It makes you want to know the entire story instead of just implications.

[@aleciscold]

Wow, seven years already. This song bring back so much nostalgia for me and the music video is such a beautiful fever dream aesthetic. Absolutely beautiful!

[@roddyahanlon86]

I was driving to work bored & filled with dread as usual. I could barely make out, something intoxicating coming out of the speakers. Turned that shit to the max!! This band is something special!

[@dank3823]

All these years later i still love this song. Such a original song that had memories pressed with it.

[@Mukduck619]

Coming back to this after years! The new album swept me off my feet 😍 thank you guys for existing!

[@draemalic]

Still one of the best music videos ever made. Outstanding on all fronts. An audio and visual feast fit for kings.

[@crazyaboutnature]

How is this song not more well known?

[@sashakys]

probably because it's trash

[@qwertyasdf7615]

+Sasha those are fightin words Sasha

[@BohemianConspiracy]

+crazyaboutnature maybe because it starts at 1:45 ... but even the song itself is not that great

[@agamer3056]

It's actually very popular and is used in various forms of other art (movies,video games,etc)

[@Ridgeline61]

The intro is not on the radio version.

[@justingonzalez702]

Truth behind the song though... The lights, glitz and glamour will steal your soul. I ran the streets of Las Vegas for many many years. This video makes me not miss those days...

[@ashcat4578]

I love this song!! Has such a 90's sound, playing on repeat! Well done guys.

[@vimmentors6747]

Love the bass line that fades in over the narration at the beginning, like a heartbeat, even skipping a beat.

[@joshchristian8598]

So so good... Damn I love their songs.. And yet if you say Silversun Pickups .. Theyre like wha?????? The world is missing out

[@joshstone5227]

Josh Christian so fuckin true. Only us true music lovers know them.

[@joshstone5227]

Josh Christian they might as well been considered underground lol

[@amenraquattrogoddason9405]

facts

[@yahs808]

Agreed but seeing them at smaller venues is great. Once a band goes to big venues I'm out to see them live.

[@jimmiemclovin]

it's nice to have a little secret group you can enjoy before they get ruined by popularity. (maybe just a little sorry/guilty-for being so selfish hoping they don't get too huge, idk, they do deserve all the fame coming to them), what a great freekin' song though...yeah and i know they've been around for years, but i like em' just as they are.

[@kevinhunter3542]

WoW !! Superb ! Been years & years since enjoying them !...again on Sept 15 in Reno !

[@blueprintblue6781]

They're back again !!

[@Radiofloyd]

I've been playing this song over and over and over and over...

[@MeanGreenMachine100]

YES!!!! They are back and they sound phenomenal as usual! I love that they haven't changed their style so much over the years. This is their style 100%

[@ClearlyMental]

this band never fails to surprise me. this is the band I fell in love with years ago. Its good to have them back!!

[@whiteyholmes]

This band has haunting tracks... But haunting in a good way... Killer vibe...

[@chrismccully777]

I can't stop replaying this I haven't felt this way since..... well probably swoon. I love you guys.

[@christopherroth86]

This song has it. I can feel it so differently then before, there is an energy here not felt since that winter day Lazy Eye pumped through my ear buds on a chilly day, chills....

[@lukenukem1207]

Ugh, they're still super good. Thank you for being one of the most consistent bands in my life

[@mikesmith6311]

another catchy song...songs like this belong to more listeners than what it has now.

[@zinxd_b]

I saw sspu at the state theater in Portland Maine a few years back. My partner was a bartender. Several of her friends were like... .. is that your boy? Cause I was cry dancing. She winked at me and told them nope never seen that princess in my life. TL;DR. THE FEELS I hope you all find your love. You deserve it.

After years, this song still amazing

[@edhoenig3008]

If there were an MTV like the early 80's, this would go monster and this band would be packing arenas. This video would be on heavy rotation. The song bores into your head , "ladies and gentlemen!" The Better Nature album is much more cohesive and potentially accessible to the mainstream than previous ones, several unbelievable songs there. Their best yet.

[@killaklownwerld3614]

Ed Hoenig better for us cult following...mainstream doesnt always=better or even as good.

[@lipomasteps]

The Pickups are one of those few bands that continues to improve and surprise as time moves on. Delightful.

I wish this comment were actually true these years later

[@norightturn7047]

It never ceases to amaze me how much talent one group of guys and a gal can have. Damn good band. Silversun Pickups: Taking their music to places that most bands can only dream of.

[@salemkid1979]

Jamie Pinson they haven't grown at all since neck of the woods, in fact in my opinion they are regressing.

[@dalianmoya]

Silversun Pickups is so great. I love their dark music. I'm obsessed with this song. It's amazing.

Every album's been better than the last. Right now Neck of the Woods is their masterpiece... hoping this album can top it! Keep it up!

My favorite movie from Mark Pellington is "Mothman Prophecies". Great director.

I'm glad Silversun Pickups are making a new album. Nightlight is a amazing song. Can't wait for the other songs.

[@johnrees2904]

I personally believe they get better with every album, and I have faith that the rest of Better Nature will be just as perfect as this song. They've been my favourite band ever since Swoon, and yet I still wait to see them live one day in the UK. This tour, maybe. Fingers crossed.

[@ACLSTL420]

Always my favorite band

[@IoNs.Stonio]

I remember seeing them at a FREE show here in STL. They rocked, but unfortunately the concert was cut a bit short due to a huge thunderstorm that was coming. It was an outside show, and the lightning in the background was like a natural light show, fucking bad ass!!

[@joshuatreece6962]

I remember that. I was so pissed. That was the same weekend that Kings of Leon stopped playing cause of bird shit...or so they say, haha. SSPU rocked it at the Peabody.

[@IoNs.Stonio]

[@ryanpape9815]

Growing up in the 90's as a teenager... This song could have been used in Natural Born Killer's.... NIN, Sisters of Mercy etc from that Era... Great track always loved it.

[@DianaZLipps]

Awesome compilation of cast, music and visuals. Great camera work and editing. Love the tunes and quote, "I saw myself in so many ways I was afraid to be. What I wanted to see vs. what I was forced to see. I was free; to see in the night. In light. Night light." Pretty much sums up August 2015 for me. Thanks and cheers =)

[@Leigthal_]

Mark Pellington needs to make this into a 1 season Netflix original series... Would totally watch. Has a very Hotel California vibe. A call girl wakes up with amnesia after a sting of murders...the radio covers the mysterious series of events, dropping clues and she begins to suspect she may have had some part of it. As the show goes on, she remains on the run she'd uncover a much larger conspiracy as she pieces together her past links with the underworld and it's darker links with the supernatural....

[@FONZEARELLANO]

I love all the little sonic nods to earlier songs with riffs and samples in the background. Great song, I have hoped for more of a direction back to heavier instrumental focused songs( if that makes any sense) similar to the first two albums and less of the electronic influence but I'm definitely not mad at this at all. It's just the drummer is so flippin good and this song sort of sounds like more of a robotic version of his stuff. Still not bad at all! I just love these guys so much. Can't wait for the album and the tour. Haha whoooo!!!

[@Cocollocolo]

Completley agree, I hope this album has more brian solos, I think he's a seriously underated guitar player.
