Night Game, The - American Nights Lyrics

Road trip, anyone?

amazing

I want this released as its own independent version of this song! SO GOOD!

Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn Vibes!! Love this! I am a follower now!

Those guitar tones are so sparkly, its beautiful

#boyslikegirls

i love the way he change is style and yet still the old martin i know

Damn martin is sexy af.

These guys are a better not-hipster version of The 1975.

Absolute magic.

Martin is so good musician

Long drives, anyone?

Their so different now, I like their music better back then

Come on make this available on spotify please. This is too great to ignored.

Those Roland Jazz Chorus amps...delicious.

Best version of this track hands down.

Fuck this sounds so fresh. I believe this is going to be the sound of the 2020s.

This should have been on the album. Really makes the song stand out especially with the long intro.

Love the spaz drummer!

Your voice is kinda different from the Martin Johnson I used to listen in Boys Like Girls, but still, I will always love your voice and you Martin Johnson! ❤😁

This belongs in an 80’s coming of age film.

Saw ye in the st.lucia concert best starting band ive ever seen great job love the live version

❤️❤️❤️

super cool......lg aus Berlin

I hear the midnight streets a callin,
But like a bird im just free fallin.

Hearing those lyrics triggers nostalgia deep in my soul for a time i never existed in. 1980's america.
Im a canadian boy born in 1993. music is a wonderful thing.
Thank you martin johnson for bringing this music into my life.

This needs more views and likes!!!

We gon” light it up like it’s Dyn-o-mite! Singing heyyyy ohhh baby lets go

Piano Melody chords Taio Cruz-Dynamite.

Excellent writing method take catchy songs and reinvent them!

You try writing a melody that hasn't been used before theres only so many chords that fit together...

He was 18 and wasted
Bedroom in the basement
Parents house Tucson, Arizona
What do you expect from a high school diploma
Working hours in the shoe store
Selling dimes out the back door
Then he puts on his prom crown
Says to his momma "I'm the king of this town"

Won't you take me out
I hear the midnight streets are calling
You can hold me down
But like a bird I'm just free falling

Here's to these American nights
We're having the time of our lives
Living, dreaming, feeling, never sleeping
Til we see the morning light
On these American nights

Neighborhood kid, just back from the desert
Tattoo and a discharge letter
VA in the St. John's
6 times a week, he still sleeps with his boots on
She skipped track up to Brooklyn
With a dream and some dark skin
Graveyard at the Rhino
"This is the place where the stars shine, you know"

Won't you take me out
I hear the midnight streets are calling
You can hold me down
But like a bird I'm just free falling

Here's to these American nights
We're having the time of our lives
Living, dreaming, feeling, never sleeping
Til we see the morning light
On these American nights

Hey
Hey
Hey
These American nights
Hey
These American nights
Hey

The sky's black in November
Nothing good lasts forever
12 gauge heart in a machine gun town
Whole life running, you can't stop now

Here's to these American nights
We're having the time of our lives
Living on a feeling, I got a feeling
That it's gonna be alright
On these American nights

These American nights
These American nights
These American nights
These American nights
On these American nights

Great song guys. Mine aren't much better;)

Needs to be on Spotify and all dem streams! Too good!

Unbelievably good singer, the voice reminds me a bit of Adam Lambert on the higher notes but totally unique in his way

That little move at 1:38 when he says king of this town

Fuck.... This is how the record should sound like! Amaaaaaaazing!

It's just perfect, but I listen to it the more I like it. I'm already waiting for your next album to come out,
With the crap that go around there, it's a breath of fresh air.

The Night Game album is the best album I've heard in YEARS!!!! Just amazing.

Reminds me of the sound of the 80s - in every positive way I could think of. Music that lets me dream.

They sound better live than in the recording. This version is superior to the album

Suenan mejor en vivo que en grabación. Esta versión es superior a la del álbum.

Serious question though; is this the guy from Boys Like Girls?

Yes, it’s Martin Johnson

Is this the same band?

New band

yep. these guys are good. from boys like girls to this! this for sure!

I'm in love, duuuuudeee <3

I agree with everyone. The live version is superior to the studio version, by far! I believe this to be true for all the Live YouTube Space songs released. Truly amazing stuff. I asked on his Night Game Facebook if these songs would be released for purchase, live album whatever - and they replied with "there's a chance." Let's make that happen! We should be all go to his FB page with requests for the live song/album/ep of these tremendous songs!!

Finally checking out yours music, Wow, Martin, you have a truly lovely sounding voice.. this is enchanting!

The guitar is so Marillion, love it.

KIDS IN LOVE NEEDS TO BE ON THE ALBUM

I have tickets to see these guys live on the 15,09,2018 at the New Pop Festival in Baden Baden Germany. The countdown begins.

I hear all sorts of warm but clear 80's overtones making a comeback with this! Awesome!

Amazing live performance

Martin Johnson is as hot as he was 10 years ago!

The killers feat M5

If this group doesn’t win a grammy, then there is no justice in the music business

Explain to me why this band is not more popular.

Because the general public doesn't like good music. They like empty, auto tuned trap bangers.

need a live album to boot too

Movie Song !!

I need them to play their full album from Youtube Space LA. And to then release it as a legit live album.

Martin always was a superb live performer...some things never change.

Matin's voice quality is just amazing.

I miss Boys Like Girls :(

I dunno i cried when I listened to this song .. maybe cause I remembered 2006 when i was 15 year old biggest fan of BOYS LIKE GIRLS 😢😢😢❤️❤️

I am so glad 'The Outfield' wasn't a one off, they are pretty much my favourite band of the last 12 months

Der klingt 1 zu 1 wie Klaas Heufer Umlauf in dieser Version.

So stoked for the album! I'm glad I found em before they blow up, you know they are going to

Hi, I am a big fan and this is my favorite song of yours. Please redo it. You've lost the energy and simple musicality and arrangement you had in previous performances of this song. It's like you are over thinking it. This is a classic American anthem( if you do it right). Please watch your performance at the Mercury Lounge in NYC on 5/24/17. That was perfect. Please bring that back and let this and that recorded version disappear. However if it makes you happy, forget everything I said and do you. I never post or comment on anything, I don't even know why I have a YouTube page. Ok take care. Peace and Love.✌

Sounds like something Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, or Sting would have done :0

1:27 WTF is that noise? Love this song BTW.

Awesome ! :-)

The best i have ever heard ...🤟🏼

Oh god i love also this song! Can‘t stop listening! Album already pre-ordered!
WHAT A BLAAAAASSSST!
Greetings from Austria!

I. LOVE. THIS. VERSION.

The lead and rhythm guitar and drums are all better in the live version. Had to rip this off youtube cuz the studio version wasn't cutting it. This is quite good though. I agree that this sounds similar to Springsteen, with a shiny, sparkling sound.

Way underrated!

This has the same message as The Great Escape, but the adult version.

Piano line is Bruce Hornsby-esque. I'm likin it.

노래진짜소름돋아

Expecting a live version of the album. You guys unleash your sound when you're out of the studio.

Very Good 🎧

Geiles Konzert, gestern von Euch im Artheater Köln, auch nur zu viert, prima live Bühnenpräsenz!!! Weiter so Jungs!

Release their album already!!!! 😀

Such great sound! Love Martin's melodies and songs <3

Boys like Girls all grown up

Took me way too long to figure out that those stabs in the beginning all fall on the 2-AND of each 4/4 measure.. in case anyone was wondering like me. Really creative way to start out the song

beautiful much love

You guys have such a radiant vibe going on. Love the spirit.

хэй вы кинули жалабу на мой видео за то что токо музыку включил я щитаю это несправедливо

Perfect music

Great band but only one problem. I just wish the studio version was as good as this live version. The studio version lacks the energy of this one.

Javier Torres exactly. I think that’s because they didn’t use the live drums, especially on the 2nd half of the verses. That hit is one of my favorite parts of the song.

Yes. The studio version doesn't have live drums. I just wish they could remake it for the album.

It's a HUGE problem. The live versions of this and The Outfield blow the studio versions away. I fear for the album that people don't get to see just how great this band is.

It sounds just as good live!❤ Got to see them open up for John Mayer last summer. Love this song!!

The studio version was fucking great but this is just filled with emotion, I beg you release it as a bonus track or something

Another great song. Bring on the album!

When the live version surpasses the studio version (which was already mindblowing to begin with). This album can't come soon enough!

Bálint Szollár That’s the sign of a truly great band!

Garrett Scroggs true AF 😉

That’s the beauty of live music! Can’t wait to see these guys in Texas 👌🇺🇸

This is overwhelmingly good music. Like seriously heart racing stuff.

Love both versions, but this takes the cake. Cant wait for the full album!

Digging this version so much more than the studio/album version :(

Waiting to see you soon in Spain, your music is the finest now, every day i hear you, this album is going to be a time bomb, congratulations!!! in such a hostile world there are still things that make one shudder.

I'm too old to like this music. But I love this music. The Outfield, Kids in Love, and this song. Outstanding.

David Cochran music knows no generation brother. It's good that you enjoy this

👏👏👏👏

Kids are 11 and 12 years old listening to 80's, 70's, and 60's music. There's no reason "older" people can't listen to music of nowadays.
There's no age limit or expiration date on music :D

You are definitely not too old The Night Game are like a 80s AOR band but with current sounds, that's why I noticed them in the first place, i'm 46.

I'm 21, and the reason I've heard of them is because their first single was titled "The Outfield," which is also the name of my favorite band (from the 80's.)

Kirin you can do better, this is so basic, this has already been done. Don’t be an accessory, you’re weirder than this

Wtf let the man live. Lol

So good!!

These guys got that new Springsteen/Petty vibe

Massive fan here since last year. The studio version to this song is great, but this one... mindblowing. Really hope the album version approaches to this.

I hope the music video version is different from the original, just hope the vibe to be more Dynamic and grand

Original One still Really Good Though
