Three things I love about The Midnight
1) Voice
2) Sax
3) Beat
And melody !!!
the amazing bassline also 👍
you forgot the amazing lyrics
Lander McGoblin yesssssss!!!!
4) everything
"Look I know you miss her man, but..
But you can't keep doing this to yourself
She's moved on
Meanwhile you're out there just
Walking the streets at night
Alone, in a river of darkness"
Hawki is this quote from somewhere? Or is it original. I’ve been trying to figure it out for months lol
Seems to be original. Google only pops up with this song.
strangly these are the words I needed to hear. 😿😿😿
So this one is a tribute to all of us who have been cheated on? :p
The Doomer's mantra
The Midnight always nail the sax solos.
William Penn saxxiest sax this side of Bob Seger
Smack Millan Damn right it is
I disagree
@@notsure5955 You can have your wrong opinion, that's fine
The midnight is so underrated.
Too much underrated
Actually it's better being underrated so they don't attract the normies and casuals that ruin everything they come across. I was happy listening to K-Pop when it was unknown to the masses but left it for good once it became mainstream due to the toxic fans and the music itself starting to become generic rubbish.
@@Se7en398 so you prefeer artist not being succesfull so you can call yourself an "cultured intellectual that only likes obscure things" grow up, KPop its better now than when wasnt popular.
@@RogueBeatsARG No, it isn't...
@@brian_sand theyre experimenting a lot more now, at least some groups
I don't believe The Midnight understands how they are saving lives with their music. I love them, everything they put out is magic.
Absolutely truth my friend 🤘🏻🥲
Play this while driving at night on an empty highway. Bonus points if it’s raining.
Yes.
Damn you are spot on

This song hits deep in me heart
It hits deep, in what's left of mine too
Me too!
Same here, their music/sound hits my soul for some reason.
Me too Mattie
Good in red is the same way
I know they are supposed to evoke an 80's atmosphere, but something about their sound takes me back to warm Summer evenings in the late 70's when I was a kid and didn't have a care in the world.
I suppose I could say I feel journey's music from the 70s has a similar feeling.
@@lavolpe8525
I hear Glen Frey and Don Henley. Think You Belong To The City and Boys Of Summer vibe.
@@Powermad-bu4em yeah, seems like a driving/memory scene from miama vice
Miami
Probably the vibe and the words
I’m 56 and it’s 2024 talk about taking me back to the 80s. Damm I’m old love ❤️ this song my goddaughter and
...and what??
Your body is 56.
I'm 21 and I love the 80s more than anything, even tho I've never experienced it. I feel as if I have a old soul and feel when I listen to this music I can time travel to where I wanna be 🙏🏻🔥🔥
That sweet bitterness ... my god. 80's will always have a special place in my heart. I'm a 90's kid but the 80's just captures my soul.
Same my friend same. A generation in which I wish I lived in but I missed it...just barely.
I'm a 2000s kid and just discovered this band, they're so good and have gotten me hooked on synthwave music.
1990 but 80s at heart feel ya G
"I wonder if they'd notice. If I slipped away"
I slipped away ; and they noticed.

[Intro]
Look, I know you miss her man, but...
But you can't keep doing this to yourself
She's moved on
Meanwhile you're out there just
Walking the streets at night
Alone, in a river of darkness
[Verse 1]
Glowing windows in the buildings from the elevated train
I see a thousand different stories pass
And faces without names
Forget why I came here
And I forget why I stay
And wonder if they'd notice
If I slipped away
[Verse 2]
What if I kept going
If I don't get off tonight
What if I ride this to the edges
Through the darkness to the light
[Chorus]
Could I find you there?
Could I find you there?
If I slipped away?
[Verse 3]
What if there's no answer
We're all just hearts that have to fight
Through the dangers of the rapids
Through the darkness to the light
[Chorus]
Could I find you there?
Could I find you there?
If I slipped away?
[Outro]
Look, I know you miss her man, but...
But you can't keep doing this to yourself
She's moved on
Meanwhile you're out there just
Walking the streets at night
Alone, in a river of darkness
there is always one of your kind, the kind i love
Thank You!

Listened to this while walking through New York while it was raining at night. Best feeling ever...
Hey, if your listening to this your one cool person and I love you.
I love you too, Zachary Elkins
Love you too man
Wow, this may be the most positive RUclips comment thread I've ever seen. Well done, kids.
love you too bro!
Thanks man spread positivity in this negative world.
So, The Midnight holds a special place in my heart, and maybe this song in particular. . . When I first discovered them (which was sadly only last year, 2019), I was going through my worst breakup that I've ever been through. Now, I'm usually rather picky with who I date, however, I was head over heels for a girl that, ultimately, was no good for me, used me, and ended up moving on to someone else without batting an eyelash. . . At the beginning of our relationship, it was so. . . beautiful. . . She showed me a side of her that I couldn't help but fall in love with. . . I would've done anything for her. . . Alas, through time, the spark seemed to disappear for her, and her true intentions showed. . . And we argued, so much, over things we shouldn't have been arguing about. . . By a certain point, I wondered if she even had any feelings for me to begin with, or if it was just a game for her, and upon finding out some undesirable information regarding things she was doing behind my back, things she though she was deceiving me on, I had to break up with her, and it was rough. . . Anyways, it took me so long to get over her, and when I used to listen to this, I would get this strange, beautiful, sadness that I feel the song encapsulates so well. . . A feeling of longing and hope for something that's now gone. . . So long I had associated sadness with this song, though I still loved it, longed for it, maybe even, so to speak, I don't know. . . Now, months later, and alone, with a fresh head on my shoulders, this song has a new sound to me, and a new meaning. . . In a way, the song is more beautiful than I've ever heard it before, and it only just started happening a couple weeks ago. . . I may not understand it 100% yet, but the sadness I felt for so long is fading, and now when I hear this, I can only smile. . . I saw them live here in Florida a few months ago, and what I wouldn't give to see them live again. . . Truly a group that has touched my heart. . . Sorry for the sap, but maybe someone can relate :) Stay safe and happy y'all. . .
We can all relate. What would we do in these times without music?
@@chadbaker8705 Isn't that the truth :)
@RecklessMage N Yeah man, the Midnight tend to have that effect. . Keep your head up, everything happens for a reason. . I know that sounds cliche, but it does get easier through time. I'm not gonna lie, I still think of her and everything. . But the weight feels a bit more lifted as time goes by. Stay strong, and don't walk through that River of Darkness. . It doesn't help. .
You are an absolute king, my friend
@@bastilian Hahah, thanks my dude :D
The sax is just such a nice touch.
I just found The Midnight today😯 Wow..I think this is the best sound I have ever heard!
Amen!
Whos here feeling there vibe in 2024. Love you guys always. 🫶🏾
Meeee ❤
Always
You basically could of replaced all the tracks in Cyberpunk 2077 with The Midnight's albums and it would of been great.
EXACTLY. EX-FUCKING-ACTLY. For the lighter song could have gone with "The Midnight" "FM-84" "Timecop 83" and for the darker more gruesome songs they could have gone with "Gunship" "Essenger" "Scandroid".
But the game didn't turned out to be that epic
.
.
That would have just leveled down The Midnight too
Mark my words there will be a great “cyberpunk game” one day that will give these incredible sounds somewhere to belong to in the gaming world… one day there will
Add some Gunship in there!
It would be an offense to The Midnight to associate their awesome and incredible music with that complete dumpster fire of a game.
The sax reminds me of 'Glenn Frey - You Belong To The City' What a wonderful time. Some people remember, some wish they were there once, some just want to be there.
That's the vibe. Wet Miami streets with Lambo's rolling through.
"You belong to the City. You belong to night. Living in a RIVER OF DARKNESS, beneath the neon lights"- Glenn Frey
dude the music is so good i cant believe my ears
the last part with the sax is so intense
and then th beat comes back
so perfect
argh
This legitimately sounds like a actual song from the 80s, from a singer from that Era, This Group is Amazing!! The 80s have came back to Life,😎🎶 ♥
80mph in a Camaro on the freeway. City lights passing by over the crepuscular backdrop. The vibe hits her just right, and she looks over at you with a distinction she can't explain as you concentrate on the road, en route deeper into her imagination.
heavy shit 😎
"Shadows", "Crystalline" and "River Of Darkness" are my fav tracks from Collateral.
Imho "Collateral" is the more mature The Midnight album so far.
pile333 You mean, Nocturnal, not Collateral
True!
Steven Tan 😂
Don't forget about Vampires too!
I used to be the one
I used to be your getaway dreamer
I couldn't get enough
Thinking that we would last forever…
Very similar to FM-84 "Running In The Night". But these 80's chord progressions helped to define 1984.
This was the first song I heard from you, blown away. I'm hooked now with synthwave. This gives great vibes. The feeling that the 80s are somehow with U. I was not born yet but can imagine it were great times then. Keep doing what your doing man. And never get rid of your saxophone. ❤❤
The Midnight is an incredible band. I love them very much. This song is a masterpiece 👌 I hope that they perform in my country, Greece, someday.
That saxophone just took the song to an entirely different level! Great job guys!
80s beats are so dope!!! Can listen to them all day.
I can't stop listening to this 💜😌... A masterpiece song.
I can't move on 😔 it's breaking me piece by piece I don't want to give up. She was my whole life.
I know it hurts..
Just know, theres worse things than breakup and heartache..
Im not Trying to diminish your heartache..
I'm just being honest with you. I'm tired of re learning the same lesson that things can always be worse too. But we keep learning it because it's true.
For example, right now, as we speak, someone is being held against their will probably tortured. Just wishing death would come. So I try to tell myself as long as I have freedom of movement. Then i'm in a much better position than I realize. Just take it day by day and be grateful that you're not suffering worse than you are. Because life is a true hell for many people. Again, I'm not trying to take away anything from your feelings. I'm just speaking from experience. I was held against my will before and it was fucking hell. It made me wish that I can just go through heartache Instead.
This is still on my RUclips rotation!! One of my favorite songs!
Damn I miss the 80’s so hard 😢❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, Future person. If you’re listening to this in 2040, you have amazing taste. -From the Past, 2022. Rock on 🤘
River of Darkness is exactly where I am right now.
"Look, I know you miss her man.
but you can't keep doing this to yourself. she's moved on...
Meanwhile you're out there just- walking the streets at night. Alone, in a River of Darkness"
I'm supposed to be a metal head, but why do I keep coming back?
'cuz you got taste...
You're not the only metalhead here....
Lol, me too
Same haha :)
Also a metalhead here. 33 years old. Greetings from Argentina!
Man, this picture fits this song perfectly.
Play this while driving through LA at 3am
Don't even know how I dealt with my depression before finding The Midnight
The fact of the matter is, you didn't
@@Chad_Thundernuts I agree with your username
@@Chad_Thundernuts i agree with your comment first rather
The midnight pulls at my heart strings..I love the nostalgia of hearing 80s over again but better.
Through a series of events I couldn't control, I lost my girl and I lost all but one friend. I wish so much to slip away because I know I would leave unnoticed. I found The Midnight though. Thank you for your music. It's helped me alot.
bud thedog *hugs*
I'm going through something similar right now... It will be alright eventually I guess
Exactly what I was thinking man thanks
Crazy how one song can bring so many strangers with similar issues together. I hope things have gotten better for you all...🥰
You are a mind reader aren't you? Lol :)
The sax is amazing.
*sex
I've just discovered The Midnight and I am completely obsessed now. SO grateful to have found this band. I get such perfect 80s vibes and it's giving me life! And again with the saxophone! Beautiful work! Thank you!
Perfect nighttime driving music. Collecting yourself. Again.
Bro on Headphones HOLY SHIT this sounds amazing I could sleep, wake up, eat, work, drive, walk, play and dance with this 1 song I could do anything!
Who, is listen this music during the quarantine.
yes
Me too grew up in 80s love this music new fave blinding lights the weekend..
me too!! From Rome!
Same, from California
I just discovered this Band
The word “cool” was born in the 80’s .
This track is hypnotic, endorphins abound.
You guys make the best retrowave music on the planet. Period!
This song is special, i added it to my list, removed it, missed it, added it again.
My phone refused to play it, removed it, a friend kept imagining his old life with his ex, the lyrics of this song plays in my head, gave him a link, he loves it too.
And now basically everytime i play this song i get the same feeling as if im hearing it for the very first time.
Such a special feeling, and i love it.
Doesn't matter how much i turn the volume up, it's never loud enough for this song
So true!!!!
Used to always play this on late night drives in my car, sadly it was wrecked a week ago in an accident. So this brings back warm memories for me. Love this song!
"Forget why I came here
And I forget why I stay
And wonder if they'd notice... If I slipped away"
The line i connect with the most.
You dont have to anymore , the hidden secret unveiled and revealed , they wont notive ever
how is it possible for a song to go this hard
Sax to the max!! So many emotions when it comes in blasting!. The midnight has made this instrument suddenly interesting to me. Thank you.
I don't know why this isn't already a classic.
This saxophone riff seriously takes me to the sky....
Praise Be to You Lord Jesus Christ! In Jesus Name I pray! Amen 📖❤️🙏
Hands down the BEST song by The Midnight
This genre is an escape from a reality😌
Brings back good memories, Late 80s I remember when I used to ride my 1987 1000R Ninja thru the streets of Los Angeles.
This song is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you The Midnight, I´m happy to meet your music of the soul.
I've heard this song so many times before, but right now it hits different 💔
It's strangely comforting though
Dude im in love with this 🥺🥺
Perfect stuff. Secured me as a permanent listener :)
That saxophone is crazy
Omg I freaking love this song its literally my favorite i love listening to it whenever I'm cooking or getting ready for work
First heard this song in 2020 during a late night drive in the rain…haven’t stopped listening to it since. Something about the Midnight and the sax solos are just beautiful and they give you this almost painful sensation of joy in your chest, ya know? Rlly wanna see them live one day 🎷🌃☔️
I'm a simple man - if there is a sax, I save song to favorites
My favorite song on Nocturnal for sure! I can't wait for your new music!
πzza Because product by timecop1983
People who know this song, this is our escape from reality.
Exactly this 👌
Days of Thunder is mine but this one is pretty good as well.
This song is everything all at once! That's it's beauty, past, present, and future. Packed in a elegantly romantic fashion.
Best song ever
This song is so relaxing! It just makes you travel through your mind. Great work! The sax part fucking awesome.
That's great 😅 this music makes a travel through my mind,I stand here now and I imagine I am at the city
this song hits my heart deep
This music helped me thru the pandemic , listening it while biking overnight on Manhattan bridge and sometimes it was at midnight always after work ,I just loved that smoke a jay ,ride ,music aaaaaa pure medicine for those times.
The intro always gets me
It does give me nostalgia
This song will always hold a spot in every piece of my long-broken heart.
Hold the line, I believe in you brother.
@@danielperez233 thank you brother, it means a whole lot.
My song when I’m drunk and alone in my dark cold room...
Trust me, you're not the only one out
there.
I second that
Mainstream music cannot compete with this
The midnight pure brilliance thank you for your songs🔥💯🙏
One of the best songs I’ve ever listened to.
It gets bori ng over time
Mmmmaaaaannnnnnn this is just spectacularly sublime... I feel like I'm in space ...on a never ending journey... From Nairobi with Love
Man i never believe how prophetic the intro speech would be in 2022. I first heard this masterpiece in 2019 and i listened to it regularly since. In January 2022, before the new year's month even ended, she just vanished from her job and all phone calls went unanswered. No one seemed to know anything. The lyrics of this song has since been describing me . The building where she used to work is across the street from my office. so i found myself staying after hours to do extra work- then at 8 pm. I turn off everything and step onto the balcony , my tie and jacket fluttering in the cool night breeze.
I sit on the chair i rolled out from the office, reach into my jacket and take out a cigarette. for a brief moment the flame of the lighter illuminates my face and the disappointment and hope i still have. I take a strong inhale of the rich tobacco and blow the smoke with a cool quiet demeanor.
and this song is playing on my phone and my thoughts are on her "where shall i look next?" "why did she move on and never said anything? we weren't strangers. she used to light up like a grand christmas tree everytime she saw me and we talked."
the shock of her gone messes with my brain- i wake up every night at odd random hours wondering if I hallucinated her and the 2 years we been really good friends.
Well i have gotten too old to die young so for what its worth, im going to pursue this to the end-at least until i get the answers i'm looking for.
Been listening to the album everyday day at work... I need more!!
I just discovered the midnight a week or so ago. Let me say this, thank you so much for this amazing music. Nothing else like it and brings back child hood memories from early 90s. I was born 1986. This music is fucking incredible!!! Keep it coming!!! Never lose your style.
I’m the same, discovered them 2 weeks ago, thought they were an actual 80s band and i wondered how I’d never heard them growing up (born in 1980) only to discover they’re a modern band who personify the 80s more than a lot of actual 80s bands. Can’t stop listening!
Old but trust me i have traveled twenty years from the future just to listen this because we lived in an era where there is no music like this.
Such a vibe driving to this Thursday night/Friday morning (1am) or Friday night or sat morning (1am)
Why does this feels so good to listen?, i wonder...
Was actually walking the street alone staring up at the sky after my girl of 8 years left. Such a powerful song.
How ya holdin up my guy?
why does this song just hit so different....
Because it's over for you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Saxo- 🎷+ melody+ voice+ every thing= a beautiful master piece
The saxophone is everything! 🎷
hell yea
Indeed!
The amount of sensuality that saxophone displays, is too much for my ears..ufff daaamn
I believe we’ve all been there, walking the streets at night, alone in a river of darkness ....
Goosebumps, this song hits deep and it's simply phenomenal! It makes me feel nostalgic about a time I never lived and things I've never done. While listening to this song, everything starts to be possible. Thank you for this masterpiece!
Finding this last year had me vibing and remembering, but damn if I had found this back when it first released it would've left me a broken. The lyrics really hit home.
The Midnight absolutly best
Finally summer is coming. Really have missed it.
