@@BLACCRAINBOW1997 how is my comment any different than you commenting hearts on multiple posts of theirs and saying “thank you for this beautiful music” really weird behavior from you buddy.
Wow. The song description here sounds like I could have written it myself. I had that same exact experience of moving - four times actually - and being almost “forced” to create (or allow) a new self by the fourth time, or I knew I’d never feel comfortable or happy with who I was and wanted to be. Someone that wasn’t so painfully afraid of not doing/saying the “right” things. Someone that didn’t shut out and build miles of defenses between me and everyone I could have learned from, made memories with, or even loved. By then I was 19 and had been in and out of psych institutions four separate times, had multiple drug addictions, dropped out of high school in 10th grade, and developed extremely disordered eating patterns that gave me two months in the last place I’d ever be sent to for mental health purposes. I felt that I’d wasted my youth and school years by being so fearful, self-hating, and isolated, and that regardless of my upbringing it was my fault at the end of the day that I chose escapism in drug fuelled “friendships” and vanity. I got my GED and a job, but I still felt empty. I didn’t think it would ever be any different, and in my mind I told myself I deserved to endure these consequences. There was only one other option, checking out. I felt it was too late to be anything other than a wallflower and failure, a burden to society and myself, that it was childish to keep holding on to aspirations and hope. No matter how bad I got though, I could never completely rid myself of vague fantasies of a better future, they were there on the edges and corners of all the music and film I found comfort in. I’m 30 now. It’s been around 12 years since I first felt the fear and “lonerism” finally begin to melt away to what are manageable levels today. Married my wife in 2020, moved to Ohio, we bought a house, we were both in middle management retail, she still is, and we even have a dog lol. Living the “dream” I guess? Whatever it is, I know younger me would have never imagined in a million years that she would be in my shoes today. Pieces of that darkness and fear still exist though, and sometimes when things go very wrong (as they have this year) I’m afraid they’ll put themselves back together and reanimate…like that old adolescent/childhood shield could be assembled at a moments’ notice and I’d be trapped again, for who knows how long. And sometimes I wonder why I keep fighting it. Sorry for the rambling nonsense no one probably cares to read…just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience. It really hit home. 🖤✌🏻
I’m very picky with music and Night Tapes is my new favorite band. I heard the song “Drifting” a couple weeks ago and now I have the pleasure of listening and discovering their full catalog. If you are reading this Night Tapes, thank you for making such beautiful music.
In addition to enjoying the musical sounds, and the lyrics of these Night Tapes videos, I appreciate the set design and overall look of these. I love how Iiris dances and moves to express the music she sings and plays. Her facial expressions too. The songs are much like the short movies that play in my imagination sometimes when I daydream. Creative genius from the entire collaborative effort and probably an excellent example of how great things can come about when we do things we love to do in a joyful or playful manner.
Everyone please tell everybody you know and dont know about this band. They need to flourish and bring their beautiful sound to every corner of this planet! Thanks in advance.
I was an only child, so of course a loner... I get where this beautiful vibe is coming from. Great writing and tunes, but the coup de gras is her heavenly plush voice... so tenderly inviting to share our vulnerabilities and make sense of this harsh world. Its art, psychology, and love. Max Doohan & Sam Richards provide the music, and Iiris Vesik owns that sultry voice. But the packaging is a little confusing in going by 'Night Tapes' which is actually a program series including other artists too. Then further confusion from the group being called both "Loner" with a capital 'L' in some places and a lower-case 'l' in others (which actually reads like its 'ioner' instead of 'loner'... which makes it harder to pull up online). Unreal how good this band is for how little time they've been together). Her voice just melts you... its so soft. If they can keep writing songs like this, they'll be huge stars in no time. Best thing that's happened to me in 2024 so far.
This is perfection! It literally sounds like nostalgic memories! Staying up late watching VHS while it rains outside during warm summer nights vibe, just like in this video
@@tebtwis-ys8fxYou really said "our" like you contributed to it in some big way. You are as relevant to your generation as I will be to mine (non-relevant), let people enjoy things.
This song is just beautiful. A song that truly speaks to the soul. This song really resonates with me as when I was younger from all the way when I was 4 to 18 I was isolated from going out. I had really protective parents who didn't want me going out or doing anything and I was never really taught anything when it came to socializing with people or how things worked in the world. I had really bad anxiety from a past event in my life which didn't help either. So everyday I was more silent then I wanted to be even all the way to highschool. Quiter than space as I always said. I had friends and people I talked to, joked with, girls I flirted with, but there was so many times where it felt like the silence was strangling me. Frozen in place, only able to move my eyes. Just watching time, people, and events go by. Letting live slip away, just a spectator, it was depressing. How many times did I give up opportunities, girlfriends I could of had, and overall moments that could of been great memories looked upon now.... Happy to say, I'm past all that now and happy with life, mostly, but that time in my life has left its mark. This song just reminds me of that time period vividly. Thank u guys.
Who else feels like a kid on Christmas morning when these 3 drop a new joint? Pressing play evokes very similar feelings as opening those presents back then. It's surreal, like their sound.
The vocals, instrumental and visuals were all wonderfully executed. This was totally worth the wait!! I'm doing my part trying to share this band where I can but I'm kind of a loner myself 😅
Consigo gostar de todas as músicas do Night Tapes. Umas mais outras menos. Essa também é muito boa. Como Cantor, Compositor e meu próprio Produtor, torço por vocês aqui de Olinda, Brasil.
when I got old enough to be on my own, that's exactly what I did and when I experienced true solitude, it felt like solitude was the true air I needed to breathe.
@nighttapes6077 thank u for writing your life experience for the inspiration for Loner. I've always felt the same even though I appear extroverted to everyone else. There's always been a second guess of my own words/thoughts and how they's appear to others even when standing firm in them. Then never really feeling a sense of belonging in any group I've been in. But still discovered real people who care about me and see me for who and what I am. Thank you for making this song.
DE LO MEJOR QUE HE ESCUCHADO, TE LLEVA A OTRO MUNDO Y EL VÍDEO ES DE PORTADA DE DISCO DE LO POTENTE QUE ES Y LO BONITO QUE SE VE PARA MÍ HABLA MUCHO 🌷🌷
The song got recommended to me and I instantly recognized you, because I used to listen to that song Iiris - Tigerhead, like 10 years ago. Happy to see you're still making music.
Night tapes it’s having the same kind of effect Men I trust had back in 2017.. all of the sudden people discovered and they blew up! Fortunately the didn’t sell out, hope it will be the same with night tapes. I remember of being “afraid” because I didn’t want Men I Trust to sell out.
Night tapes is on the Rise✅✅
Guys, we’re here at the very start of something amazing.
i believe so
the fact that we all know.
The whole band is a blessing 🙌
Calm down.

Hi from Russia. I love your music. I listening this song, of my favourite genre. I also create music!
Shoegaze dream pop is back!
Night Tapes is literally lifting me out of being in some weird times right now. Such an amazing band.

Loneliness sounds nice sometimes...
absolute banger
One of the best bands that ever existed
I will look back at a stage of my life and remember listening to Night Tapes on loop.
The best song ever❤ i cry when listening this one song
this song just gets better and better the more you listen to it
57 years old and blown away !... well done!❤
Almost 55, same as! Thank you John Peel circa early '90's for opening my eyes & ears to everything
Watching from Canada with excitement of what's to come for your band.
So far, it's a pure vibe
best song in a very long time. love it. can't get it out of my head after hearing it. in an awesome way.
This is the first song that got me hooked into Night Tapes!
Same brother
Its like listening to Magical Mystery Tour the first time
TH-cam is how i found out the best music goes largely unnoticed.
The song title is exactly what I am every valentine’s
🫂
And 364 other days.
at least I have this band to keep me company
heard this song playing at my job radio at Dicks sporting good i been listening to it since
Everyone please tell everybody you know and dont know about this band. They need to flourish and bring their beautiful sound to every corner of this planet! Thanks in advance.
watching again to get them views

This song makes me feel homesick for an experience/memory I don’t actually have
There is an awesome word for it Anemoia (nostalgia for things you never experienced
@@Atw-m5z I like people like you
@@noisyneighbor1 thanks man!
First the algorithm starts giving me other Night Tapes stuff constantly and then a new video drops a few days later. Coincidence? I think not

Vocals like classic Grimes before she became perona non grata after Elon.

i love every song this band releases, how do they even have so much magic to share??

Or if Beabadoobee was Caucasian 😂
Well now you ruined this for me.

This is long shot, but i hope they come to South Africa one day
Would love to! 😍

February 14, 2024 was the best day of my life tx night tapes✨🌌🌠
Thundercat without the bass right here. Keep an eye out for these guys.
her name is Iiris and she's been around for over a decade... lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed some similarities to Thundercat here, it reminds me of Heartbreaks + Setbacks in some ways
@@UndercoverNormie you've blown your cover
@@cdasteez I'd let her blow my cover
🎧🔥👌 Dream Pop/Shoegaze del bueno.
Inject this shoegaze brilliance into my veins.
It gives me a 90s feel absolutely love this song💗
Can't believe I'm finding such an unknown talent so early on, this band will blow up in 2024 no doubt in my mind, the EP is a slam dunk ❤❤❤
This is everything I have ever wanted at 1 A.M.
