we wrote this song over a few weeks in the middle of
summer. it contains a paradox and to be honest we’re still in the process of discovering the nuances of meaning in it. I think that sometimes drifting can take you where you need to be,
other times it can take you to the open sea where your feet can’t touch the ground anymore. we hope you enjoy this existentialist pop song - big up Maurice Merleau-Ponty.

Director and editor: Owain Emyr Morgan
Lights: Gian-Claudio Calipa
Narrative consultant: Jordan Mitchell

LYRICS:

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

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

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

Credo che questa canzone finisca nelle radio di GTA6.
Questo è più di un semplice complimento

[VladStopTalking]

I love bands that try and bring that 70/80s sound. It’s so good.

[RupertRumble]

This sounds like something I'd hear on Radio Mirror Park while driving around in Los Santos.

[martynmedia]

Stop thanking the bloody Al'Gorithm and thank Night Tapes!!

[cattania]

If Cannons, Empire of the Sun and Late Night Alumni had a child, this is what it would be. Absolutely stunning song.

[grugnard]

That bassline is deepfried crispy -- god damn

[BigBoyJesus]

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.

I'm commenting to add to the algorithm so another lucky person finds this ✌️

[sword_of_damocle]

Youtube'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.

[deejaydiabolic]

Occasionally, the youtube algorithm still gets it right.
This is good music

[spacrangrj]

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 ♥

[juliettestingray]

I love it when female vocalists do those breath-y, whisper-y, sigh-like vocals.

[neckroft]

I've become mesmerized by this track. For a moment it makes me feel like I'm 17 again lost in a new world.

*IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS VIDEO IS?!?!*

*OK!*

[JV-koov]

I remember listening to this a year ago when it had 10k views thinking itd go to a million. Grats

[victorkingi]

Thank you spotify algorithm for this masterpiece!!

[Chris_Prime]

This the direction the 80s should have continued in. It's like a "Sound-Gasm".

[Umbrella]

This song is blissful! 🤯🤩 Every song I’ve heard from them is euphoric!

[Wahinies]

At first I thought Grimes collabed with Empire of the Sun but I am pleasantly surprised I was wrong. Thank you for the banger 🔥🔥🔥
