Some sites have the line "We're stuck and it's after dark, on Megaton Mile". I'm 99% sure the line is "It's darkest after dawn, on Megaton Mile". You can actually clearly hear "It's darkest after dawn" on the final chorus section at the end of the song. The song seems to be heavily inspired by the film "Miracle Mile", which is about a group of people trying to flee LA with premature knowledge about an imminent massive nuclear attack on the United States. Obvious spoilers, but the film takes place before dawn, and the film ends directly at dawn with the sun rising and the missiles streaking over the sky, proving the main character correct as multiple "flashing lights" start erupting, signaling the detonation of the warheads. "It's darkest after dawn" fits with the ending of the film and the song. The world is ending, the narrator of the song is close enough to see the "flashing lights" of nuclear warheads in the distance. The film ends during the dawning of a new day, but the world literally ends on it for those on "Miracle Mile", and the world will forever be dark after this dawn.
How is this not at 10 million views right now? Watch, they're going to feature this song in the end credits of some popular TV show and thousands of people are gonna come flooding to this video.
Okay so I have watched outer banks 3 times now and I always liked this song when ever it was season 1 episode 5 midsummers and I fell in love with this song and it took me no joke 40 minutes to find it it’s been a great day

Heard this on a tv show. Had to check it out. Super dope. Rhythmically and Melodically groovy with a twist of freestyle. That, "Just let it flow" vibe. Nice
Wow I'm listening to this song for the first time and DAMN i'm really surprised. Very pop-ish, dunno if this has a mainstream vocation or anything. Anyway, this band is weird and great and i need time to comprehend this song
Florian FLAMENT I have to agree, it’s far from their “their” sound. Far more popish and hard to swallow at first listen. Though I do feel it will be my new daily shirt soon, shan’t be long lol.
I feel the same, but it didn't get me at first listen, as Cafe, Tap Dancer and WAIGLY did....honestly i think i will not listen to it a lot more now and wait until Violet Street comes out, and listen to the whole album (i still think this song could be a banger live, i'll verify it in October😛)

The bass hits like a sucker punch
😂 💯
that you knew would come
My uncle plays the bass in this
Can’t wait to spin this album on a summer day and get absolutely hammered with my friends.
Ryan Torres same tho lmao
Sameeeee! Good vibes...
Totally. Go to the beach and blast it if you live on the coast.
Ryan Torres I know that’s right
This is the greatest idea known to man
nothing quite like your ears undergoing a new local natives song, mucho gracias fellas

He’s a god
Every single song released so far has been fantastic. I think this will be your best album.
All their albums are pure gold, can' t imagine to choose my favourite. Unique problem in the world of music present-day, thanks LN!!!!!!!!!
thank you outer banks
Okay so I have watched outer banks 3 times now and I always liked this song when ever it was season 1 episode 5 midsummers and I fell in love with this song and it took me no joke 40 minutes to find it it’s been a great day
SAME
0:39 outer banks people
this album is it for them... i can feel it. everyone's going to know who they are now!!!
Right? Every song so far is amazing!
Have you tried not releasing a straight banger lately??
This song makes me want to get my life back together lol man is this great!❤
Why do you need a song to motivate you to get your life back together?
Honestly same.
@@borregoimages8117 why do you have to be "that" guy?
@@xg3990 because its was a quintessential millennial comment that holds no weight. It's just an attention seeking comment. That's why.
@@borregoimages8117 cool, I have an opinion too. I dont think my opinion is fact though. Hope you learn that one day about yourself, bud. ((:
This bassline is TASTY 😋
Crush recommended this to me. Now I can't stop thinking about me and her going on a road trip when I play this song
Attaching feelings to songs is both a bad and good idea haha
this song makes the end of the world sound beautiful
lol
Retro sound but feels so fresh. Nice job boys.
Hey, this was playing in the car wash last night
Was that car wash coincidentally a megaton mile long as well? 🤔
Goddamn, that is a cool ass car wash.
outer banks people?
After listening thru the album a couple times, this song stands out. Fucking soulful and melodic. That bass sound kills!
Great sound!! Never can get over there boys!!!
Just wow. I just closed my eyes and the song just ..... 👌
Powerful!
I'm hallucinating!! Come back to Mexico! 🙏🏼
Adrián Gómez x2! 💔
🌻🌻🌻
Their most underrated song imo, and thanks to 'new music friday' from Spotify to let me accidentally play this song last year.
This band just keeps getting better and better year after year. Perfect show..them and City and Colour.

I just randomly ran into this on Spotify, never heard of this outer banks but boy am I glad I found this song
OBX -- new fave! Thank you!!
Since the day this album came out, I've been listening to it 2-3 times a night! Might be one of my favorite collections of music ever.
I’d die for this song ❤
This song restores hope in living
Their music is art, I love you guys
Love it! I fell off from Local Natives for a few years, and I'm delighted to see their music is progressing!
Oh my goodness my new fav I can't stop send help
Heard this on a tv show. Had to check it out. Super dope. Rhythmically and Melodically groovy with a twist of freestyle. That, "Just let it flow" vibe. Nice
outer banks!!! :))
Coolest dressers and awesome musicians
OBX tune ⛈🤿🏄🏻♀️🏄🏻
Piece of art. 🖤
fínallyyy I found the perfect comment to describe
this song is so good 😭 it needs a music video
Discovered this song a day ago and Ive listened to it over hundreds of times
I can't even count how many times I've listened to this track since it dropped. See you boys in Atlanta June 11!
So ready to play this on repeat all summer long- the new album I can’t
🆕🎧 "Megaton Mile" debuted at #18 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
pov: did you remember obx
Great vibe.
I feel like this is gonna be a great record!!
outer banks brought me here
Me too, midsummers is one of my favorite episodes
me too
Me too
Same
same.
This album is going to slap.
Love that bass way way up front in the mix
These guys are incredible - Violet Street is AOTY
Ready for the summer baby!!!
This music makes me so sleepy! 😴
love this track!!
rewatching outer banks brought me here
Anyone come after "The Outer Banks"
Uhm yessssss
How were you able to recognize this song in the episode ??
@@Rebuild39 it's shazam app
Fuggin pogues
Nah came after being a fan of the band
heard this in Outer Banks great show
I love this song! ❤
Love this so much
This album rules
ShAWN Pawped OFF ON THISS ONE
Nik tho with the bassline.
So much delightful 50's 60's inspiration displayed here. I really could hop out on the rooftop to watch a nuclear disaster to this song.
January came and went early...
Wow

@@florian2464 coming back to agree that this song was bizarre and is now a banger
Me thinking it was Taylors vocals this whole time but it was Kelceys
My uncle is in this band
Got me dancing again...
Idk what the fuck outer banks is, David Dean Burkhart brought me here.
Not gonna lie... they kinda had me at 4:10
I’m into it!!
We stargaze after dawn
on Megaton Mile ;)
Kelcey! Killing it!
I have a feeling the bois were at least partially inspired by Cold War Kids' Miracle Mile :)
Favorite song off the new album so far 😄
Potential sex music that could block squeaky bed noises, gasps, labored exhalations, and occasional loud moans.
About 1 minute in...JAMMING
I’m doing a dance to this for lyrical and it took me so long to find oml hahahaha
Spotify brought me here before Netflix did.
this was my jam for the past year and then it was on Outer Banks and i was jamming out so hard i had to rewatch that part of the episode lmao
Same, I accidentally found their song in new music friday. Since then I always recommend this song and this band to my friends
muy bueno

Do any of their other songs sound like this...?
Wow
Bought me here too-obx
Got here from AK🙏
COME TO BRAZIL 💚💛
So I'm sitting here listening to the Earthbound OST and the song Megaton Walk is p much the exact drum beat in this song. Coincidence? I think not.
here from Otter Box
Heard this in a Starbucks I was working at last year
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
why does this track sound like it's cut off in the middle?
Because on the album the order goes from this to "Someday Now", and it transitions across songs. The beginning of "Someday Now" is right where it clips off here.
Songs about getting blown up by an atomic bomb. That's why there's an abrupt ending to the song (the alarms in the last minute of the song).
This was in outerbanks and I didn't even remember it 😭😭😭😭
Come back to México 🇲🇽
♥
Midsummers :))
Outer banks gang where you at
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Can't be loyal ta the dream
Is Kelcey using autotune or any vocoder/vocal effects?
Chris Aldridge it sounds like it at one point.
