Lyrics:
late night carried by the wind / it took such a long time to make up my own mind / everything is changing, but I would not attempt to control you / I never could help myself, I waste my time / it’s taking a toll on my health, I waste my own time / like Mary Magdalene I’m on my knees again / but if you see me as a saint you’d be mistaken / late night, turning into morning blue / it took such a long time to make up my own mind about you / now the sun hangs heavy and I cannot even lift my eyes / to where it sits indifferently, unmoved mover of the sky / I never could help myself, I waste my time / it’s taking a toll on my health, I waste my own time / like Mary Magdalene I’m on my knees again / but if you see me as a saint you’d be mistaken / I am the master of my ship my ship the master of the sea / through a rhetorical distinction I think I’m finally feeling free / for the first time

I've listened to Tennis since their debut in 2010, they keep getting better and better it's unreal.

[@jeremyjones2361]

This song applies vintage filters to my vision

[@Darth_Revan25]

Like Mary Magdalene, I'm on my knees again.

[@gormanlee935]

this is my favorite of the album.

[@DaddyGreer65]

GORMAN LEE same here. This one oozes euphoria.

[@Darth_Revan25]

I think I'm of the same opinion to be honest. The whole album is just brilliant and so easy to run through from start to finish.

[@melrodas]

Agreed. Wish someone could transcribe the chords.

[@kobbepe]

Mine as well!!! ❤️

[@nailaspeaks-labrie8632]

Same! I just saw them live tonight and was soo sad they didn’t perform it.

[@millie9814]

2:46 AM, Brazil. This video was released 26 minutes ago. I feel lucky to be awake at this time, for the first time.

[@lucas_trindades3976]

i woke up, with this little piece of heaven. BRASIL TAMBÉM!

[@aooo245]

achei os fãs brasileiros de tennis🥺❤

[@pocketvelero]

I literally went into Javascript to double the max volume so I could fully experience this song. I'm in an ocean of feeling.

[@kyleag86]

Whaaaaat

[@johnnyalvarez2302]

I'm so happy that good music is coming back .when I listen to Tennis it makes me forget about this harsh concrete jungle I live in .

[@xyxytxv]

Wow... just WOW!!! Everybody say "Thank you, Tennis!!!"

[@anacanaan9614]

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

[@nickmackechnie7073]

You're telling me. Had an accident a week ago and technically died. Now that I'm alive again it's actually helped my depression. I feel finally free cause now every second I have is extra

[@nickmackechnie7073]

This song really fits how I've been feeling since then. It's been alot to take in

[@anacanaan9614]

@@nickmackechnie7073 I'm so happy you're still here! thanks for attaching such a heartful memory to this song, ill probably think of this next time i overplay it (anytime soon, it's my favorite of the album)

[@nickmackechnie7073]

Thank you, that means alot :) it's nice to even get to share moments like this knowing I could have had nothing (I didn't see anything when I died it was just blank and I felt alone, but maybe I wasn't fully dead yet idk) I'm just glad to not be gone. I like this song with how I've felt currently but my favorite from the album actually is matrimony II 🙂 but also like tender as a tomb for a close second

[@anacanaan9614]

@@nickmackechnie7073 I think this album encapsulated the ambiance of life and its simultaneously brilliant in the production, matrimony II is a close second!, I found this album when I was quite lost and unhappy and through the weird lil youtube hole it feels good to know it helped someone too

[@NemoEUC]

My favorite band that keeps getting better and better every year. I can't wait to see them next year at the Fonda Theater.

[@sanman-xe3fy]

Omg they finallly released the album

[@TheNewKG]

Their music gives me chills man, so beautiful

[@rmmoraes1979]

What a pleasant discovery from 2022! Wow!! Listening Pandora to my Weyes Blood radio...Tennis came along...and Geez! Wow!

First heard this while driving and found myself in tears especially the " i am the master of my ship, my ship the master of the sea"

[@retrobass3693]

Supposed to have fallen asleep by now. I want to listening to this for a 5th time since I got in bed but I need slerp This a a sweet song

[@Itsalexohh]

Late night, turning into morning blue, it took such a long time to make up my own mind about you...

[@RatBabyGenius]

[@musiclover01ization]

This is so damn good

[@angrykagg421]

In all honesty I've been listening to the album on youtube since it came out, but I'm dedicated and in love so I bought it off itunes while doing laundry. No regrets.

[@Nihaofoo]

I can't stop

[@undercover2379]

Beginning sounds like selfless by the strokes

[@coolangel834]

Or does selfless sound like late night by tennis? Hmm...

[@Not-Ap]

@@coolangel834 This came first by about 2 months so I'd say your right.

[@youmustbeoutyourmind446]

Wow

[@LMEON]

[@richardmenchaca8010]

Why are their concerts 21 and over, I don’t need to feckin drink to like their music ya mean?? Who’s in charge

[@angrykagg421]

Might be at bars or dives. Just easier to say no one under drinking age than to card everyone getting drinks.

[@damyalencastro]

Me dedicó esta canción a mi...fue complicado, ahora...I am the master of my ship

[@melrodas]

Anyone know the chords to this gem???

[@air265]

This song sounds a lot like another song I heard once. I just cannot remember the name of the band or the song. Can someone help?

[@mas_ajo_porfa]

I don't know if it's the same song that comes to your mind, but I'm personally reminded of "Cool" by Gwen Stefani. In particular, I find the chords/melody (whatever you call it) of their respective choruses to be similar. Someone else in another comment also mentioned "Selfless" by The Strokes:-)

[@air265]

@@mas_ajo_porfa Thank you for your thoughts! These two songs are quite interesting to compare to Late Night. I think I found what I had in mind: I was listening to Lucky Soul many years ago, and even there is no song quite similar to Late Night, the vibe of the song is quite similar to songs of Lucky Soul.
