Kavinsky has toured alongside Daft Punk, The Rapture, Justice, and SebastiAn in 2007.
In addition to his music career he has also appeared in several films including Steak, directed by longtime friend Mr. Oizo, who appears on Ed Banger label. The SebastiAn remix of Testarossa Autodrive off the 1986 EP is featured in the video games Grand Theft Auto IV and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
Kavinsky's production style is very visceral and reminiscent of video game music and film soundtracks of the 80s.
Nightcall
Kavinsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear
There something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
There something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear
There something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
There something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
There something inside you (there's something inside you)
It's hard to explain (it's hard to explain )
They're talking about you boy (they're talking about you boy)
But you're still the same
In Kavinsky's song "Nightcall," the singer is making a late night call to someone they care about in order to express their feelings. They want to take the person on a drive through the night, down the hills, and show them a darker side of life. They acknowledge that what they have to say may not be what the person wants to hear, but they urge them not to fear.
The repeated lines of "there's something inside you" and "they're talking about you boy, but you're still the same" seem to suggest that the person being addressed is struggling with something internally, and that others are aware of it. However, the singer is still supportive and sees the person for who they truly are, despite what others may say.
Overall, the song is a sort of anthem for those who feel misunderstood or out of place. It's about finding someone who understands you on a deeper level and being there for them, even when things get tough.

@Keeper69s
I'm a truck driver and this is one of my top tracks for my night drives.
2am, middle of nowhere, anywhere in the country; every turn and length of road is undiscovered as I've never driven them before.
Yet the realization of 80,000 pounds at 70 mph running off the road, down a hill, or into an obstacle, could come in the fraction of a second.
And no one will experience it but me, in that moment.
It's haunting but beautiful.
