Lyrics:
You know, I like it here
And it’s weird when it appears
The magic in the space between us
You, me, this place we dreamed up
You go outside to feed the meter
Until I next seeya
I’ll keep moving til I see you cruising in
And I am an average dancer
That’s not the point that I am after
I’ll be your midnight bootleg firecracker
I could blow up in your hand
It could be great or a disaster
That’s the point that I am after
There’s risk I guarantee
When there’s skin you tend to bleed
But I’d rather be fighting a losing battle
Than to live with me and my shadow
There’s always a chance on the way for a win
Even a small one
So I’ll keep moving til I see you cruising in
And I am an average dancer
That’s not the point that I am after
I’ll be your midnight bootleg firecracker
I could blow up in your hand
It could be great or a disaster
That’s the point that I am after

Is anyone else geekin about the single shot video??!! Dude so much effort went into making this.. I’m reeling with how beautiful all of everything this song and video is about.. So much talent in one little short video.. I’m crying in the middle of lax right now

[@johnnytimestamp8224]

3:11 could be a cut

[@ryanbuckner2405]

@@johnnytimestamp8224 don’t be that guy. It’s a beautiful video!

[@johnnytimestamp8224]

@@ryanbuckner2405 If Corey Feldman has done it, it cant be that hard lol

[@asafoss3515]

I just saw them live, and they mentioned that firecrackers are hard to come by in Australia. So they had to use a major production company, which cost $5,000 per set of fireworks. They could only afford 2 sets of fireworks, which is why they opted to do a continuous video.

[@JarisDDP]

I’m geeking about every single thing in this song , the video , lighting , colors , how grainy but clear it seems, the music , the lyrics , I’m fucking in love

[@patriciamoradamacabulos8506]

I’ve never listened to middle kids before until a friend sent me this song and I’ve listened to it obsessively, probably 20 times in the last two days 😂 Something about the vulnerability with lyrics that could’ve easily been about a happy song. It’s comforting and delicate and honest and strange. It’s beautiful and it’s full of longing and I can’t get enough of it.

[@jeffyonthemoon]

Very well said!!

[@quantumcreator8888]

Phenomenal song 🎵 💯

[@jeremybourkel6732]

Totally agree, you need to listen to their other songs too @Patricia, very special band right there.

[@HomelessHighway]

You need to hear "Edge Of Town"

[@TheEdumicator]

The next album could be called, Bootleg Firecracker, and have 10... let's say, 11... eleven tracks of Bootleg Firecracker. With a twelfth, hidden track of Bootleg Firecracker.

[@hockeyduckyd]

Yes.

[@brycec1770]

Middle Kids have the potential to be one of the greatest bands of all time.

[@brycegeurts3345]

shut up bryce

[@gREYHAWk_721]

If got the notification, I want you to listen to this masterpiece again! Cheers.

[@Isabel-o2w1t]

WTMD maryland introduced me to this beautiful song.❤

[@martinmedina9174]

This is probably the best song I’ve heard all year. On repeat now. It’s my 100th listen today!

[@CMB911]

I had never heard of Middle Kids until I saw them open for Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World in Spokane a couple months ago. They sang this song and it blew my mind. I love everything about this song, the video, the simplicity yet deep message of it all. Well done!

[@ethancurry1804]

Steel guitar always hits me in the right spot.

[@exnihilo3302]

What a dreamy song!

[@thufirck6734]

Will never tire of this band.

[@florences7360]

will never get over this song.

[@hannahkuklovska999]

it is humanly impossible

[@damonferrara]

One of the best and STILL most underrated bands on the planet. So good!

[@whitneyfitzgerald4212]

This song is giving Japanese House, which is also an all time favourite. So good.

[@fswoods]

this video is one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen

[@emoprince]

Damn the firework shot+chorus at 1:07 is just pure beauty

[@marysumma8625]

Thanks too my local college radio for playing this gem ❤ can’t stop listening !

[@DimSimmo]

Such a beautiful song

[@charitykirui2110]

Tiktok recommended..I'm glad I found such an awesome band❤😭

[@misscarp3430]

This is nothing short of brilliant. No huge production values, no choreographed routine. The music stands on its own and the video sets the vibe. I love the single camera and I love that long shot at the end. The wonder in that little girls face matches the wonder in the song.

[@matthewjones8865]

A beautiful song which takes you to another place. 🙏

[@christinevaseer9122]

Thank you for the moments of peace

[@brucesavage6083]

Love love love! It’s been on repeat! Continue letting me relax to your vocals and tunes. I’ll see you asap Hannah, Tim and Harry 🫶🏽

[@BoyAndBear]

[@SaraKearns]

Thank you, WYEP in Pittsburgh, for playing this. I likely wouldn't have heard it any time soon otherwise and it's great. I'm thrilled that some cities still have public radio. WYEP was one of the first, I believe, and is still one of the best.

[@The_Pennsylvanian]

Wyep is where it's at. I frame custom homes for a living, and my crew tunes into 9.13 everyday, so much great music discovered through the station, we sing along all the time lol
