I've followed Unquiet Nights since 2018, and love their exuberant rock sound. A sort of ‘greatest hits so far’, this album commemorates the 10-year anniversary of their debut album "21st Century Redemption Songs", and features ten songs they feel are an important part of their musical journey up to this point. As depicted in the art work for the album, all ten songs are gems, written and produced by frontman Luke Mathers, and flawlessly mixed and mastered by Neal Calderwood.
Favorite track: Four Winds.

Promise of You

The door was open, there was a pure red sky that night
And in the morning, I could see the future bright
You gotta believe it, you gotta believe it's true
Each time i saw you, you had eyes that seemed to burn
And things were moving strong, long past the point of no return
You got a secret, I guess that i still got one too
I spend my life just waiting on the promise of you
I spend my life just waiting on that promise to be true
There was a spiral staircase, and a painting of some angel wings
You took a phone out, muted it and let it ring
You got a secret, I guess that i still got one too
This place was perfect, one year they burnt it to the ground
Fixed it back up, since then we started coming down
Noise from the station, thundering the whole night through
I spend my life just waiting on the promise of you
I spend my life just waiting on that promise to be true

Well it felt just like a summer breeze
Washing up and over me
You were just a city bird
Still believing what you heard
You can tell me anything
But you don't tell me everything
Now that you've been left to rust
By the ones that you were meant to trust
Don't leave me to the four winds
Don't leave me to the four winds
I only got myself to blame
Things like these don't seem to change
That same familiar ghost in me
Cuts through all my formality
And I only got myself to blame
Things like these don't seem to change
You won't find no guarantee
This is just reality
You can live a lie too long
Until everything is gone
Don't leave me to the four winds
Don't leave me to the four winds
I only got myself to blame
Things like these don't seem to change
Don't leave me to the four winds
Don't leave me to the four winds
I only got myself to blame
Things like these don't seem to change

See me waiting by the exit sign
I been waiting here for quite a time
You're the one that I been thinking of
You're the one to free me of myself
Love leave your mark on me
I been twisting, I been turning like the sea
Love turn me on to something good
I been cheated I been lied to I been screwed
Love turn me on to something new
Love turn me on to something new
I made a simple promise to myself
Late one night outside of some hotel
Come September's cooling autumn breeze
You'll be standing right in front of me
Love leave your mark on me
I been twisting, I been turning like the sea
Love turn me on to something good
I been cheated I been lied to I been screwed
Love turn me on to something new
Love turn me on to something new

You ever feel like you're a sinking stone?
I needed something I could call my own
I saw Rachel by the side of the road
She didn't turn around, but she still seemed to know
She said your tomorrows they ain't guaranteed
You can't count on them, but you can count on me
Well maybe my advice will come a little too late
I only ever mix, I never drink the thing straight
You don't have to jump just 'cause they tell you to jump
You don't have to dance just 'cause they call you up
You don't learn to walk before you learn to crawl
But you keep moving forward still in spite of it all
Her belt buckle had a silvery glint
Her driver's ID had one major misprint
She said there were times that she would never forget
She said take it from me, I ain't seen anything yet
You don't have to jump just 'cause they tell you to jump
You don't have to dance just 'cause they call you up
You don't learn to walk before you learn to crawl
But you keep moving forward still in spite of it all
You don't have to jump just 'cause they tell you to jump
You don't have to dance just 'cause they call you up
You don't learn to walk before you learn to crawl
But you keep moving forward still in spite of it all

Sometimes strangers give the best advice
And I'm just trying to make it through this life
Every time I needed the money to run
I always did what needed to be done
Fifty-five minutes, and it's starting to click
Just how my skin became so thick
The bravest city in the world
I hope she gets what she deserves
But I'm just trying to make it through this life
Flying in to George Best City tonight
Sometimes a place can seem a little too small
And you can read the writing on the wall
But I can't deny what I came to know
And everything about her just seems to glow
Crossing the east bridge, I was caught in the breeze
The leaves were brown and falling from the trees
The bravest city in the world
I hope she gets what she deserves
But I'm just trying to make it through this life
Flying in to George Best City tonight

People asking question's but they don't have the time
To hear that something good is on the line
Right place, wrong time, take a good look around
Tonight there aint no justice to be found
The place you're in don't tell no lies
It aint cheap but the smoke gets in your eyes
It wasn't long ago we used to spend the nights
Sharing songs about this life
Someone's love on drugs by candle light
Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright
I know it's been two years and things are going fine
But please don't think that you don't cross my mind
You're gonna say it to me one more time
But I don't even think that I can feel surprised
Its not the problem that you don't call
But tonight you aint making any sense at all
You say it's perfect but it's suicide
Those things don't seem to ever cross my mind
Well maybe linger, maybe fade into the light
But this aint a case of wrong or right
Someone's love on drugs by candle light
Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright
I know it's been two years and things are going fine
But please don't think that you don't cross my mind
Someone's love on drugs by candle light
Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright
I know it's been two years and things are going fine
But please don't think that you don't cross my mind
