I'm pretty sure he chose to be independent. I remember he had a lot of exposure at the same time as Sam Smith. Back in the day when Sam made great music, i guess he is kinda getting back to his roots now. I love Jamie because he cares more about the music than actual fame and money.
I've heard this song once before at a party in 2012 and thought it was very catchy. After that I forgot about it completely. Now in 2021 it popped into my mind out of nowhere and went on a mission searching for it and I gotta say, this song aged very well like a good Scotch and have been listening to it for days in a row now. Absolute Talent Mr. Woon! Cheers from the Netherlands
I've been listening to this song for 9 years , and it still hits me like the first time. Jamie Woon's talent in production and songwriting is so unique
i miss you jamie woon. you have been my favorite artist for the last 10 years. no one will ever take your place of #1. you are an artist of a different dimension. you are spectacular.
I never get bored of this song, ever, and I've been listening to it for the past 2 years almost every day. I love everything about it. It describes me too well.
A truly authentic, creative musician and singer. His voice is so easy and natural, it's always a pleasure to listen to. Love the minimalist accompaniment too.
Can't believe it but I had to admit this is a masterpiece. that divine bassline with those vocals being repeated softly by the eerie backing vocals. Add some mindblowing synths and drumrolls and you end up with this. Well done!
@@goodprince5327 The techniques he chooses to apply to create different feelings and evoke different responses. The different registers he goes through and pacing etc. He's an artist. A genius.
I found this song through the Volor Flex remix. Original sounds proper as well 👌. Love the female chorus acapella, lyrics and even the instrumental, the bass and those fine percussions. First time I see the official video. After looking at it and knowing a tiny bit about photography and videography, I can say they invested quite a bit in making these shots. Lighting up a forest like that requires some strong professional lighting. Those low light macro shots of the mantis also. Not every camera and lens is capable of producing such images. Hats down for everyone who took part in creating this fine art piece! To Jamie and his team of professionals! 🤌🎩
Night air has the strangest flavor Space to breathe and time to savor All that night air has to lend me Till the morning makes me angry In the night air The night air I've acquired a kind of madness Daylight fills my heart with sadness Only silent skies can soothe me Feel that night air flowing through me In the night air The night air I don't need those car crash colors I control the skies above us Close my eyes to make the night fall Comfort of a world revolving I can hear the earth in orbit In the night air The night air I've acquired a taste for silence Darkness fills my heart with calmness And each thought like a thief is driven To steal the night air from the heavens In the night air The night air
I sometimes set this to loop overnight. So quietly that it only becomes audible once my ears adjust to the room and the flat being quiet. Wont' say that it's "magical" but it's pretty damn nice. Especially on a night when there's time to appreciate it.
This is one of those songs that sticks with me hard and I need to play a million times in a row to make it sound like a normal song again... and that's tragic.
Wish there was more music like this. Its what my soul has loved and still loves each time i play it. Every time i loose a phone or it breaks or its stolen.. This is always the first song i download
I heard this song years ago. Still listening in 2023. Jamie hears our souls. He hears the souls of the planet and sll of creation. He hears my soul. I hope he is still making music.
I thought I had commented before. This song was instrumental in the change of the course in my life. 10 Years later it is coming up again for me. I have not for one second forgotten it 🙏🏽
I am a night owl, I always was. Hell, it is 1 in the morning and I just started, I spent mos of my life being an night owl even as a kid. This song really speaks to me, I never get bored by this song. You can tell that he does most of his music at night time and that he is a night owl because man... I never heard someone describe the night time soo good as he does, the lyrics are just on point and poetic. Would like to hear more similar songs, anyone knows any similar one?
+Arianit Haxha High five from another one who feels strongly for this song! And who tends to stay up late. Sounds I know and whose atmosphere I found spontaneaously at least a *little* similar to Night Air: - Craig Armstrong's "Af if to Nothing" album - Portishead' "Dummy" album - parts of Gotye's "Making mirrors" album, p.e. "Don't worry, we'll be watching you" - parts of Eurythmics`"Sweet Dreams" and "Touch" albums, p.e. "This city never sleeps" - the song "Losing sleep" (he, I sense a pattern) by Vangelis - the song "One step too far" by Faithless - the song "Drinking and driving" by Jhene Aiko Many of them lack the gentle club beat Night Air has, though. Checking webpages like allmusic for Jamie and then search for his influences or similar music there might also give you some nice results.
+Arianit Haxha This isn't similar because it's Liquid Drum n Bass, but it's really good and melodic and as a fellow night owl, I relate to it. It's called Night Thought by Kove
Was listening this trough my depression in 2014 and now 2022 and i can say it was such a beautiful song to help me trough my alone walks in the forest but i am grateful i am over my depression and can listen to this song like a trophy 🏆
firstly heard it in work, fell in love but no one would tell me what is this. took me about 3 hours to find it with the "in the night" words i remembered only. good vibe, worth looking for.
I'm a metalhead, but something about this guy is just awesome. I love it. I guess it's just because I need some relaxation after all that constant screaming, lol.
What a beautifully shot music video, the lyrics accompaniment are magic! Love the insects turning their heads with certain beats. Great Song, still listening in 2020
Chills. Anthem for the nocturnal! I can almost see the forest spirits. A love letter to darkness and those secret whispers buried deep in your nightheart ... for those who come alive under the moonlight among the feathery ferns & fragrant evergreens. 🌲🕷🐛 Love those moths and dewdropped praying mantes. Gorgeous song, ethereal pure voice, sensitively shot video. Keep up the good work. 🌝🌔🌓🌒🌑🌚🌘🌗🌖🌕
I remember preparing a presentation for my Freshman Year of High School at 2AM listening to this song. Here I am having graduated from my MA (Postgraduate degree), 10 years later, this song is still banging.
anyone that knows me knows I can't stand bugs and this video not only made them tolerable but actually beautiful. AGHH THE POWER OF ART! And obviously the song is amazing!
you want to know the truth? Shitty marketing. Bad PR Team and or publicists as well as agent, if not even just not having any of these people. Lack of billboard 100 capacity maybe even ability. As well as he doesn't seem special tbh. Still love his music though.
Echo Affliction " Lack of billboard 100 capacity maybe even ability. As well as he doesn't seem special tbh" I agree with the PR stuff, but I disagree with the above. Popularity and being in the billboard 100 is all about appealing to the masses. I think you know what is popular nowadays (poppy, hype, almost predictable even etc.) and that's different than what Jamie Woon delivers which is what I describe as more classy music.
The Echelon I wrote that when I was pretty drunk. I work in the industry, and what I meant to say was exactly what you stated above, the lack of mass appeal. Don't get me wrong Jamie is very talented. But these popularity contests are what make you reach the top resulting on being on the top charts, playlists and receiving consistent media coverage. Approximately 2 years ago I was searching for the next big EDM act someone to kill it in DJ Mag (one of the most rigged bullshit charts in the industry, but it still matters) a multifunctional act, now A&R is all about the Urban market and what the younger demographic is consuming. This industry requires signed acts and branded content to meet margins, we follow trends, if not predict them. Mind you he is signed to PMR a sister co. of UMG there roster includes Disclosure, Jessie Ware and SG Lewis, pretty big acts and some get more attention than others.
I don't usually pay attention to the vids on youtube, just listen, but I've queued this song up so many times I finally watched it too and I enjoyed the video as well. Jamie if you happen to be reading this, release another album so I can buy it? I've already picked up everything else I could find. And thanks for this song, the experience of it is superb.
For 11 years, something has made me remember this song and come to remember it, two years ago my past self left the message, this time I will be more specific, Dear Smith from the future when you hear this song again, I hope you have achieved What did you want that night of frustration in front of the pc without being able to sleep thinking what to do with your life and your constant brain-heart struggle, did you end up reaching an agreement one day? loves you smith from the past, just survive xoxo

It’s a classic man, my dad showed me it years ago
one of the most underrated artists
2 burial done the production
So out of trend ✨✨👌

Same with me..
2012 - 2021 backwards 9 year completion cycle, welcome home :)
What is happening to Jamie is he still up ?
Same with me, came to me and couldn’t remember the name thanks to google humming I found it lol
The first time I heard it was in 2016. I was driving all night by myself in Utah. It was on a Native American radio station.
Who here 2025
For all us nocturnal people, this should be our anthem
yes ;)
Amen
Oh honey it is !!!!
Yessss
It is
This is like a lullaby for grown ups. I love this song, I always come back to it.
😂😂😂😂
This song helped me through one of the hardest moments of my life. ♥️
Noice
Same 💔❤️💛🧡💚💙💜
God bless
Hope you are feeling better now. Wishing you a joyful 2022. Whenever you feel the most joy! Day or night.
🕊🧡🕊 emi
how come this guy isn't as famous as he deserves to be? what a voice!
Not gay enough
Perhaps coz he refused to sell his soul to the devil.
@@joosukas Yes!
He was famous
"I've acquired a taste for silence" Oh man, I was BORN with that.
2024... Jamie, where are you?
🤍

In the night air, in the night air
In the night air, in the night air
❤❤EXACTLY MY THOUGHT 2024
I've been listening to this song for 9 years , and it still hits me like the first time. Jamie Woon's talent in production and songwriting is so unique
It's mostly down to Burial's talent in production on this one
i miss you jamie woon. you have been my favorite artist for the last 10 years. no one will ever take your place of #1. you are an artist of a different dimension. you are spectacular.

@@magdacismasz-nowak9233 💛

I miss him too❤
Absolutely love this. I've been listening to it on repeat. Where is Jamie Woon now???????? Such a wonderful talent
He's still making music
Still listing in 2019. It just doesn't get old. And what happened to Jamie anyway. Incredible artist🤷🏽♀️
He is preparing another album.
2020 and I still love it 😁👌

You hear a song and go “there’s a part of me right there.”
Me too (shoulda ) is also a really good one
2022 and still listening this masterpiece. That's what good music looks like.
A truly authentic, creative musician and singer. His voice is so easy and natural, it's always a pleasure to listen to. Love the minimalist accompaniment too.
2020 and still best
Yesss!
11 years and it sounds like made it yesterday 🙈😎
yes, sir
2021 still the best :-)
Always
Can't believe it but I had to admit this is a masterpiece.
that divine bassline with those vocals being repeated softly by the eerie backing vocals.
Add some mindblowing synths and drumrolls and you end up with this.
Well done!
That's Burial for you
00ppp
We all here for nostalgia , still listening 2023 🎉
This song is so dreamily beautiful...
This boy is fucking genius! I'm fascinated by his voice...
Сергей Лаптев what "ingenuity" has to do with the voice???
@@goodprince5327 The techniques he chooses to apply to create different feelings and evoke different responses. The different registers he goes through and pacing etc. He's an artist. A genius.
Yes yes yes
@@CJWII plus he’s an independent artist.
I remember watching this on VH1 being completly mesmerized by the images and the song.
This song just popped out in my head from nowhere.
Very catchy song.
It's 2024 and this song is still in my top 10 songs ever. The lyrics is just magic
3121 and no matter how many years after, he and this song will FOREVER be the BEST 💙💙

Jamie Woon has perfectly crystalised my soul and my feelings about the night in words and music - what an artist. Thank you.
Night air has the strangest flavor
Space to breathe and time to savor
All that night air has to lend me
Till the morning makes me angry
In the night air
The night air
I've acquired a kind of madness
Daylight fills my heart with sadness
Only silent skies can soothe me
Feel that night air flowing through me
In the night air
The night air
I don't need those car crash colors
I control the skies above us
Close my eyes to make the night fall
Comfort of a world revolving
I can hear the earth in orbit
In the night air
The night air
I've acquired a taste for silence
Darkness fills my heart with calmness
And each thought like a thief is driven
To steal the night air from the heavens
In the night air
The night air
Thank you. :)
M Paula Casas you can't take credit for a song someone else wrote
Amazingg
Just an amazing person x
Hola Paula!
Where is man. I love his vibe 2024 still listening Jamie! Hope he still gigging!
Love it when I discover nice songs!
+Petimat Temicheva And he created it from scratch...the feeling is just sublime
I sometimes set this to loop overnight. So quietly that it only becomes audible once my ears adjust to the room and the flat being quiet. Wont' say that it's "magical" but it's pretty damn nice. Especially on a night when there's time to appreciate it.
This tune came out of the blue
The beats and music caught our attention then the voice and words ❤️ we played this loud ❤️
Sounds so good today
This is one of those songs that sticks with me hard and I need to play a million times in a row to make it sound like a normal song again... and that's tragic.
Jesse Maddox same here! Got it bad with this track: Oscar and the wolf - Strange Entity discovered it 3 years ago ..hooked!
This song and Jamie’s artistry never get old. I listen on repeat for days… to years
This is still awesome..makf me tingle..still good after 2011..come back Jamie.x
I love this song....thank you, it's beautiful, ethereal and spiritual
Woaw, woaw, woaw..
Could listen for hours to this song!
Great artist. Haunting melodies..
Thank you, Jamie Woon.
welcome!
First track I played after coming home from the hospital where my first child has born in 2011 (son), never will forget...Play with decent sub!!
2020 forever in love with this song 💓💓
This guy is awesome - greetings from germany.

Ein beeindruckend sensibles Musikstück !!! Eine tolle Idee und eine tolle Interpretation !!! Super !!!
I listen to this song every day. Thank you Jamie
at night?
Tony S.. yes at night and in the day too
I love the feeling that this song give to my soul. And the fact that Jamie Woon is the producer turns the song much more genuine :-)
The whole album is immense! Burial co-producing the album as well. Bonus!
did Burial really?? such a plus
Yeah he produced a few of the tracks on the album, including Night Air and Lady Luck. A nice touch to the whole album (Y)
Yes
I was looking for you for so long almost forgot your name but the impact of your music unforgettable
coming back since 2010
This man can't age. His songs still chill me since i was 7
I thought I had commented before. This song was instrumental in the change of the course in my life. 10 Years later it is coming up again for me. I have not for one second forgotten it 🙏🏽
I found this song working in GAP In 2016 ❤️
thank you jamie. i went into a five days trip with my friends, and we listened to it everyday.
peace.
that sounds so cool :)
Sorry for the late aswer. It really was a great time. Peace friend
Underrated Masterpiece! 2023❤
Can't get enough of the rich background notes and the harmonized music. This is real art people :))
The only silence skies can soothe me.. Hell yeaah in 2021!

how is he not a superstar i don't get it
Cuz Sam Smith already took his swag
you want to know the truth? Shitty marketing. Bad PR Team and or publicists as well as agent, if not even just not having any of these people. Lack of billboard 100 capacity maybe even ability. As well as he doesn't seem special tbh. Still love his music though.
