Late Night
Foals · Holy Fire [2013]
Someone I could count
To pull me to my feet again,
When I was in doubt.
Oh now mama, do you hear me
Calling out your name?
Oh now mama, do you hear me
Calling out your name?
Calling out your name?
Now I'm the last cowboy in this town.
Empty veins and my plastic, broken crown.
They said I swam the sea then ran aground.
They said I once was lost, but now I'm truly found.
And I know the place but not the wave.
I feel, I feel no shame.
Oh now mama, do you hear my fear?
It's coming after me!
Calling out your name!
Calling out your name!
Stay with me.
Stay with me.
Then you threw your heart away.
Oh I know just what to say.
Through the phone cord; it can wait.
We've still got time to say.
And I know you ran away.
Oh I know but I'm feeling okay.
But now I found love and the feeling won't go.
Now I found love but the feeling won't go!
See you walk away!
Feeling okay, now!
Happy now?
Stay with me.
Stay with me.!
Stay with me.
Stay with me.
Late Night - Foals
Released on the 2013 album Holy Fire, 'Late Night' exemplifies the post-rock and indie rock fusion that defines Foals' sound during this era. The track features the band's signature dynamic range, building from atmospheric introspection to a driving, distorted climax that showcases their technical proficiency. As part of their discography following Antidotes, Holy Fire marked a shift toward more experimental textures while maintaining the melodic core characteristic of their earlier work. The song remains a staple of their live performances, often serving as a high-energy closer that highlights the group's ability to blend electronic elements with organic instrumentation. Its enduring popularity reflects the band's influence on the modern indie scene and their consistent evolution as a recording act.
