The Nocturnal Affair presents “Deep” as an ode to mental health and that we are not alone even when were are in “the unreachable parts of the deep.” With "Deep" Brendan Shane exhibits the dark rock devotion of Ville Valo (HIM), the haunted vocal style of Amy Lee (Evanescence) while carrying the rich baritone of Peter Steel (Type O Negative).
The Nocturnal Affair is proud to present “Deep” as both, a final set in a trilogy but also is in the beginning of a six video premiere series to be launched in 2026.
For the prolific (and true to form, nocturnal) writer and producer Brendan Shane and The NocturnalAffair, 2026 promises to be a landmark year with as many as six new singles mapped out over the coming months.
The "Deep" video is the final segment of a trilogy, told by The Nocturnal Affair. The story, which started with "Cross Me Out", and then morphed into the cyber punk fueled "Benefit Of Doubt", ends with "Deep". The beautifully dark final chapter reveals the redemption that comes when all hope is lost, and the one person you least expect salvation from arrives in the night to save you as you're sinking to the unreachable parts of the deep.
Singer Brendan Shane on "Deep":
"Deep” came from a part of me that I didn’t know existed, and came to light during the pandemic which was a very dark time", said singer Brendan Shane. "What I discovered was the realization of something I never wanted to meet, but HAD to encounter in order to heal. I hope those that connect with "Deep" find thestrength to conquer their pain in order to move forward in this world. You aren’t alone".
Produced and mixed at Madison Studios by Tanner Hendon and Wyatt Oates, “Deep” will be released via Madison Records.

Foiles was a regular cast member on 'All That' on Nickelodeon, as well as appearing on 'Even Stevens', 'Malcolm in the Middle', and more!

"DEEP" LYRICS:
Verse 1
Day by day sometings slipping
ever faster towards the dark
try to reason why i'm still here
as the cold grabs at my heart
Chorus 1
All the stalking shadows
Talking they pull me towards the deep
fighting inwards losing grip
On who I used to be
Verse 2
I feel empty and out numbered
By the thoughts keeping me down
Another reason, another excuse
To keep myself from gaining ground
Chorus 2
All the stalking shadows
Talking they pull me towards the deep
fighting inwards losing grip
On who I think I see (in the mirror)
Verse 3
Is it worth trying to move on?
Back to the noise above the dirt?
My doubt protects me like a prison.
If I can’t feel it, I can’t hurt.
Chorus 3 (slightly different)
Every stalking shadow talking
They pulled me toward the deep
All these memories holding on
and they won’t set me free
