Tom Roche & Nurko
I′m wide awake as I was on my way to heaven
A lot like strangers in the dark
Had my days when I was hoping I'd do better
I'm so glad you talked me down
Hold me when the sun won′t go down
And the night screams so loud
I know that you′ll always see it through
You know that I'm always there for you
Only when the sun won′t
I know that you'll
When the sun won′t go down
When the sun won't go down
Saw it crash and burn
The mess you left around us
The pain I felt it all too real
We′re a bit too late
Alone and now forgotten
Missing everything we lost
Hold me when the sun won't go down
And the night screams so loud
I know that you'll always see it through
You know that I′m always there for you
Only when the sun won′t
I know that you'll
When the sun won′t go down
I know that you
When the sun won't go down

Cinematic music video!
@tadeuszmusic
Truly one of the most talented producers, up there with Illenium for me. Unreal song, best chill song I've heard in years
@SpiritAquatics
I agree
@BlissfulEDM
I think Nurko is miles beyond Illenium. Illenium used to be my favorite artist and I didn't think anyone was even close. Thing is, he has a similar sound every song and a few of his songs now aren't too great in my opinion. Thing is, Illenium set the stage for artists like Nurko. I think he was the one that pushed the future bass/melodic genre to the next level and artists like Nurko took what he had and improved on it.
