1,000 unique artists. 24 hours. On August 6th, 2022, the FORM community came together to make the most ambitious All Nighter yet. With tracks ranging from metal, to neuro funk, to acoustic and heartstring-pulling tunes, there is something for absolutely everyone across these 44 tracks. The hard work and groundbreaking ideas of the FORM community never cease to amaze.

One thing remains true: All Nighter is a testament to our ability to be unapologetically creative. Despite the sleep deprivation, render errors, and tirelessly waiting for your collaborator to wake up and submit the finished product, the process and the result are equally worth it. To create something out of scratch in a single day-- to create at all-- is an enormous feat. You simply have to get started.

All proceeds from All Nighter, Vol. 7 will be going to COPE, a charity dedicated to eliminating health disparities for the Navajo Nation.

fig i. If I would know you, would you know me?

Lyrics:
Were you there at the start
When the night was a part of a window
I had seen through over and over again
Every moment I’ve asked
Is this happening now
My heart has never quite sounded so loud

(Hey-a-sha-ma, Oh, My Desire!)

Hide away from this I try
Storm uncovering focused eyes
Hear your names in terms of suns
Shouting out til I was done

And it hit me all at once
Across all that came from dust
Into where every river runs
I will wait for you to go

Is this it?
Is this it?
Wait for this
Oh

(Wherever you are)

Just follow me my dear
Despite all I feared
Bright eyes stare clear
I know you’re almost here

As If You Understand What's Going On (ft. acloudyskye)

Slow down
you’re making it harder to know how
Do you see right through me?
You’re out of patience, I know that
I know now, now

But you’d get intimate
and you’d go through with it
what do you get from this
if it doesn’t feel like anything?
why do you drag all this shit out
when you know you’re gonna leave?
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?

if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?
if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me

you could’ve had me, i swear
you had me wrapped around your finger
and you didn’t even care
this keep-away shit that you do
just doesn’t feel like you’re being fair
but what would i know?
(it was never my fault)

and you’d get intimate
and you’d go through with it
what do you get from this
if it doesn’t feel like anything?
why do you drag all this shit out
when you know you’re gonna leave?
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?

(if you really wanted me)
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?
if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me

I know you can walk me through it
But let go of my hand
It’s over and you don’t have to talk
I know how this ends

(Good enough)

would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?
if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me

Faked it this much

Lyrics:

How many chances do I get
For you to pull me down again
Move to a place inside my head
Falling away from where I stand

I got caught chasing loose ends
You brought me further away from them
Feet on the ground and it all made sense

That I need something
That's out of reach from me
So just hold on back looking through the gaps and you'll see
What's been missing

And then it gets to me
Walls closing in, slowly
Then it's hard to breathe I will try and think of the things
We could be

I spent too long on broken things
By now it's probably killing me
Stare at the mirror never blink
The things I didn't want to see

You're scared to talk about your dreams
I'm scared I'll mess up everything
Wash down my worries go to sleep

That I need something
That's out of reach from me
So just hold on back looking through the gaps and you'll see
What's been missing

And then it gets to me
Walls closing in slowly
Then it's hard to breathe I will try and think of the things
We could be

Flares

Lyrics:

Was it only fair
To keep you out my mind
I left it in the air
Though trying as I might
I'm sliding down the walls
Running through the dark
But I couldn't get that far

And if you're there can you hear it
They're shooting flares in the distance
But they won't find a trace of us
We'll be gone when the morning comes

Then it's pouring out
The things that you once said
The sun is going down
And drowning out the rest
The radios went out
The static hides our breaths
Running towards the edge

And if you're there can you hear it
They're shooting flares in the distance
But they won't find a trace of us
Fall away beneath the dust

And if you're there can you hear it
They're shooting flares in the distance
But they won't find a trace of us
Fall away beneath the dust

And if you're there can you hear it
They're shooting flares in the distance
But they won't find a trace of us
We'll be gone when the morning comes

Fossils

lyrics:

Dug a hole, in my life
I’ve tried a thousand times
To make it up, I'll do it cause
I know it’s not alright

And you told me it wasn't fair
Could you try to pretend you care
Didn't know what it meant back then
When you told me I was your friend

The older myths, still decide
The proof is you and I
But only one, can tell the truth
The other always lies

And you told me it wasn't fair
Could you try to pretend you care
Didn't know what it meant back then
When you told me I was your friend

But now I see what I was in a dream
I’m gonna sing to the sound and they’ll never find out

And you told me it wasn't fair
Could you try to pretend you care
Didn't know what it meant back then
When you told me I was your friend
Now I know every word you said
Can we try to forget again
Now I know what you meant back then
When you told me this was the end

Myth

To tell you the truth




Early trains and sleepless nights,
She kept chasing city lights.
Every “no” became a spark
A bright ambition in the dark.

You got this
She says it to the mirror every day.
You got this
And now the dream is calling her by name.
You got this
The door she waited for is open wide.
You got this
Step on through, girl shine.

YOU GOT THIS

*Update: since some of you have been asking us privately who’s singing, let’s clear it up. Tom sings the entire song, going from baritone to tenor (maybe even soprano 😓) throughout the track, and not just in this song! 😂 Mary did some backing vocals, but all the main parts are Tom. 🤟

📣Here we are again with an unexpected upload, born from some random experiments that turned out way too good to be thrown in the trash… the Mac trash, obviously 😅
Headlines is inspired by a chiptune melody that likely dates back to the early 90s, at least as far as our keyboard player remembers, though even that isn’t completely certain. The track comes from the demoscene era, but the original title and author are unknown to us and may have been lost over time, so proper credit isn’t possible.
No samples were used. The melody was replayed, rearranged and completely reworked into a new song with a modern production and original vocals.
Too good to be left in a drawer, so here it is.
And stay tuned… in a few days we’ll be back with our new (and last) Christmas song, along with a very fun video where we’ll turn into Santa’s elves! 🎄🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️
This song is available exclusively on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

Do you already know this song?
Yeah, you know it
(Oh yeah)
Are you ready to sing along
to this song?

Let's go!

Everywhere I go
I'm hearing this tune
'Cause all the songs sound the same 
nothing feels new

But this one’s got something fresh
We made it loud, we made it real
Way better than
all that noise around

Someone’s even cloning us
So we can blast this track
all over the world
and up in space 
yeah, space!

The headlines now all say:
"Time stands still!"
There’s only one song left
spinning around
Someone's even trying to kill
all our clones
To shut this anthem down
all over the globe

And we’re trying to stay sane
But this is insane
Can’t even leave the house
the doors are locked
Someone said “That’s enough”
Now silence reigns
There’s no more sound 
real music is gone

Youtubers and AIers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

We’re fighting hard to keep alive
the soul of real sound
We’ll make your dreams
the next headlines

Youtubers and trappers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

Bye bye!

can we try to forget again?
