Monstercat Wiki
McatWiki Quotation About a year ago Mike Taylor and I both showed up to a writing session in our black cars wearing all black. We joked about it for a while, but then starting working on a song. From the style of wearing all black to Nina Simone interviews, there was so much inspiration. People always ask me how long it took to write the track - it was the most effortless collaboration I had ever done. I'm so proud to be a part of Everything Black, and can't wait for everyone to hear it!!

Everything Black is a song by Unlike Pluto, featuring vocals from Mike Taylor, released on March 10, 2017 and featured on Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 1, Monstercat - Best of 2017 and Rocket League x Monstercat 10 Year Anniversary.

Shadows fall over my heart
I black out the moon, I wait for you to come around
You got me dancing in the dark (dancing in the dark)
I've closed my eyes, but I won't sleep tonight
 
Baby, you should come with me - I'll take you to the dark side
Me and you, you and me do bad things in the night time
Baby, you should come with me, and we can kill the lights
Hit the lights, let it blackout, blackout
Hit the lights, let it blackout, blackout (woo!)
 
Black bird, black moon, black sky, black light, black, everything black
Black heart, black keys, black diamonds, blackout, black, everything black
Black, everything, everything, all black, everything, everything
All black, everything, everything, all black, everything, everything black
 
In a nocturnal state of mind
Children of the night, but it's the only way alive
This black hole's pulling me inside
Of this black heart, this black soul, underneath this black, black sky
 
Baby, you should come with me - I'll take you to the dark side
Me and you, you and me do bad things in the night time
Baby, you should come with me, and we can kill the lights
Hit the lights, let it blackout, blackout
Hit the lights, let it blackout, blackout (woo!)
 
Black bird, black moon, black sky, black light, black, everything black
Black heart, black keys, black diamonds, blackout, black, everything black
Black, everything, everything, all black, everything, everything
All black, everything, everything, all black, everything, everything black
 
Baby, you should come with me
Me and you, you and me
Baby, you should come with me, and we can kill the lights
Hit the lights, let it blackout, blackout
Hit the lights, let it blackout, blackout (woo!)
 
Black bird, black moon, black sky, black light, black, everything black
Black heart, black keys, black diamonds, blackout, black, everything black
Black, everything, everything, all black, everything, everything
All black, everything, everything, all black, everything, everything black
