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
@@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.
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.
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'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'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.
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!
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.
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 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 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.
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
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
Laptop speakers do not do this song justice, do yourself a favour and invest in a quality pair of headphones, the bassline on this song is dominating, but only a good pair of cans can deliver it smoothly
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.
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
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 🙏🏽
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 🏆
I really love this song. I've been listening to it since I was 16. Today is the first day I watched the music video. I still love it, but the bugs are freaking me out.
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!
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.
2024... Jamie, where are you?
🤍

For all us nocturnal people, this should be our anthem

Amen
Oh honey it is !!!!

one of the most underrated artists

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.
This song helped me through one of the hardest moments of my life. ♥️
Noice
Same 💔❤️💛🧡💚💙💜

Not gay enough
Perhaps coz he refused to sell his soul to the devil.

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 😁👌

This is like a lullaby for grown ups. I love this song, I always come back to it.

"I've acquired a taste for silence" Oh man, I was BORN with that.
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
2022 and still listening this masterpiece. That's what good music looks like.
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. :)

Hola Paula!
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'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.
+Neverbloom Same here bro!
same!
+Neverbloom hiphop head....tune is the bomb.
+Neverbloom I love the feeling that this song give to my soul. And the fact that Jammie Woon is the producer turns the song much more genuine
+Arian297 He can be signed to universal and be the producer himself.
Underrated Masterpiece! 2023❤
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!
That's Burial for you

This song and Jamie’s artistry never get old. I listen on repeat for days… to years
I remember watching this on VH1 being completly mesmerized by the images and the song.
This song certainly WOON me over.....................
I'll see myself out.
ahahhahahaah
This made me chuckle
lmfao
I laughed.
Laughed my ass off... love it haha
- I remember when this song/video came out 3 years from now, That winter, simpy was the best... with this song. -

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!!
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.
You hear a song and go “there’s a part of me right there.”
Me too (shoulda ) is also a really good one
2020 forever in love with this song 💓💓
This guy is awesome - greetings from germany.
Jamie Woon has perfectly crystalised my soul and my feelings about the night in words and music - what an artist. Thank you.
This song is honestly a master piece !!!!
I was looking for you for so long almost forgot your name but the impact of your music unforgettable
Обожаю этого певца. Оригинален, красив, тембр мягкий.
Happy newyear 2020, still brilliant...
Is it just me or someone else feels a magnetic attraction ? I love it
I love this song....thank you, it's beautiful, ethereal and spiritual
Endless love for this song...

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

Burial as producer. Nothing could go wrong. I wish he worked on more pop productions.
