sammy. /REVERSIES releases "Dead of Night"-
a raw and restrained emo/grunge tune, led by English lyrics with Japanese introspection.

sammy. /REVERSIES, the one-person alternative rock project from Japan, unveils a new single, Dead of Night, released in May 2025.
Driven primarily by English lyrics-while also incorporating key lines in Japanese-the track blends grunge grit with emo fragility, creating a cross-cultural emotional resonance.

Opening with acoustic stillness and building into waves of distortion, the song delivers its core message through the repeated line, "I couldn't be the one you once dreamed of."
Later, Japanese lyrics quietly emerge, grounding the song in personal reality and deepening its emotional impact.

Unlike the punk-forward MESSY DAY or Fall Away, or the somber introspection of Fujou and SLEEPLESS IN THE WOODS, this track explores a colder, quieter tension-a shift toward controlled chaos.
The mix balances rawness and clarity, and sammy.'s voice-though non-native in English-carries the kind of truth that transcends language.

Dead of Night stands as a signature track for sammy. /REVERSIES: honest, atmospheric, and emotionally unfiltered.
