The lead single off Night is Electric's coming debut, City Without Walls, is a moody, R&B, electronic-infused song that explores a man struggle between creative isolation and the need to share his heart as an artist. He tries to escape into the darkness of the city night where he meets himself and is forced to reconcile the two selves. In the end, the freedom of his creative release ("heaven in your heart") trumps the fears of isolation. Love wins.

ABOUT THE SONG:
Full Moonlight, the second single from Night is Electric, continues the conversation of the first single ("City Without Walls") about vulnerability with an exploration of staying vs. going, escaping vs. committing, wanderlust vs. fidelity.  Inside us all are both - the need for consistency AND the desire to escape.  Both may be essential to find out who we are.

LYRICS:
I hear you walking
I see you’ve done your packing
I guess you’re leaving me
I hear the door open

My momma said I don’t listen very well
My momma said that I don’t listen with my heart
My momma said I don’t notice when it’s broke
My momma said...

It’s a full moon ride
In the full moonlight, tonight (2x) 

I dream of leaving
I push the doors open
I feel so sorry that...I am never broken

My momma said that I need to dream a dream
My momma said I can’t unless I’m on my knees
My momma said I need vision where I sleep
My momma said...

It’s a full moon ride
In the full moonlight, tonight (2x) 

I want to let you go I want to give it away
But something in me says you gotta fight for your place
I want to make it right I want to change my ways
Although I fall at your feet I can’t take it away 

There’s a full moon ride
In the full moonlight, tonight (2x)

Full Moonlight

“Water in Your Name” is the 3rd song on "Outside My Head...", a melodious & emotional chant with a tribal beat about the mystery and physical history of our identity (the name says it all).

Water in Your Name

Water In Your Name

The 4-song EP "Outside My Head..." ends with the anthemic yet surprisingly soulful indie rock hit “Start a War.” The song takes twist and turns but falls steadily into the big chorus anthem “Let’s Start a War.” Being an artist requires full-out war with indifference, apathy, and our own personal resistance. This song will get you off the couch and over the fence, reminding you that “it’s what you’re fighting for that makes it worth it all.”

This song has haunted me for years.  In fact it has taken more than a decade to get to this version, but it's worth the wait.  The song's moody verses burst into the vast, daunting pre-chorus that leads carefully into the almost angelic chorus anthem “Let’s Start a War.” There's no room for indifference, apathy, and even our own personal resistance. We must fight!  This song will get you off the couch and over your fence, and remind you “it’s what you’re fighting for that makes it love.”  Let's Start a War!

Like nothing else. Originals only - experimental electro pop with a side of indie rock love. It's vibey, punchy, airy, emotional, spiritual, powerful, groovy, eclectic, melodic and iInspired.

Night is Electric (NiE) is a 2-piece band birthed out of the heart of the Midwest (Fort Wayne, IN and Chicago, IL) -- Frontman & Vocals Chad Van Meter and Bass Guitarist Jon Hill.  Night is Electric brings heart-felt rock into the expansive world of musical experimentation, diving straight into the depths of human experience while keeping its emotional head above the water.  Life runs deep with these songs, partly comforting partly kicking us out of our nests.

The band began in 2014 with a humble demo recorded in the basement of Chad's home in Fort Wayne, IN.  Since then, the duo has been writing dozens of new songs and have recorded with:
 - Ivor Novello Award-Winning Producer Cassell the Beatmaker in London, UK
 - US-based producers in NYC (Scott Troyer), Nashville (Darren Rayl and Daniel Hoisington), and Chicago (Mark Yoshizumi)
 - Masterers Cody Norris and Shawn Hatfield
 - Mixing engineer Lynn Graber

NiE also worked with famed music industry mogul Stephen Machat in Miami during the initial launch of "Outside My Head..." for their first live performance of the EP at a December 2017 Art Basel Miami event.

Night is Electric’s 2017 debut single, "City Without Walls", was included on the first half of the much-anticipated 2018 debut EP "Outside My Head...".  

SO MUCH MORE NEW MUSIC is coming.  Night is Electric is a never-ending well of songwriting.  Watch these guys...they're on a roll.  The second half of Night is Electric’s debut EP project “…Inside My Heart” has a street date in 2022.
