The Quiet Heart of “Days and Nights”By Omnesia

“Days and Nights” from Omnesia is one of those songs that feels close the first time you hear it. It was written from a real place, built around missing someone, waiting for them to come home, and feeling the lift when they finally walk through the door. The mix of sadness and hope is clear right away, but the song never pushes too hard. It lets the feeling sit there in a warm, steady way.

Omnesia is made up of two people: vocalist Medella Kingston and guitarist/producer M2. They met online in Oakland and started building music together from there. Their style is hard to pin down, which seems to be the point. They mix older ideas with newer ones, blend soft parts with sharper moments, and pull from different eras without copying anyone outright.

This track comes from their upcoming 17-song album, and every song on that project was built along with a video idea. The video for “Days and Nights” leans into a throwback look thus Mary Tyler Moore mixed with Planes, Trains and Automobiles. It feels like the kind of old travel clips you’d find in a family attic. The song shares that same warmth. Medella recorded layers and layers of vocals, and somehow it still feels relaxed and natural.

One thing that stands out is how the band recorded it. They tracked the main part of the song live, all in one take, in a brick-walled warehouse space in Oakland. The brick gave the drums a big, earthy sound that you can’t fake. Everyone wore headphones, played together, and avoided spill into the drum mics so they could re-amp the guitar and bass later. It’s a simple idea, but it gives the song a very real feel.

They were also joined by some heavy hitters. Eric Slick, known for working with Adrian Belew and Ween, heard the demo and flew in to play drums. Stephen Goodwin, a bassist who has played with more bands than you can count, locked in the unusual bass lines with ease. Tal Ariel added keys and helped with the arrangement. Even with this lineup, the track still sounds like Omnesia kept it personal and close to the chest. The song didn’t come from any outside trend or pressure. It came straight from a personal moment; sadness when someone leaves and the joy when they come back. You can hear that simple truth in the way the track moves. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is overdone. It feels familiar, even if you’ve never heard anything from them before.

Omnesia plans to release all 17 songs and videos in February 2026, and “Days and Nights” is the first step toward that. They’ll be performing again in the Bay Area once the album is out, but for now they’re focused on the release itself. They’ve said that making music is the only time they forget everything else; worries, daily tasks, the world outside. That sense of escape shows in the song. It feels like a quiet moment where everything slows down.

If you grew up around the late ’70s or ’80s, or if you just love the style from that era, pieces of that time slip into the music too. Early music videos, new wave energy, the first big wave of synths, little touches of all of that drift into what Omnesia does. They call their album ‘Future Vintage‘, and it fits. The music feels familiar, but also like it stepped out of a different version of the past.

“Days and Nights” is warm, layered, and made with care. It feels personal, even though the feelings in it are ones most people know well. It’s a strong start to the album rollout, and it shows what Omnesia does best: mixing old and new in a way that feels natural instead of forced.
