Who else sees The Midnight as a beautiful escape from reality? Everything seems better with this music... (:

Midnight is that one musical thing, most people keep searching forever.

God it's great to be alive and to be able to hear this music

Well I'm convinced this song is The Midnight's opus. It condenses their entire theme of "Mono no aware", the beauty and sadness of realizing that our lives are a series of opening and closing doors, into a single track. Also it's the crown of the album that at the beginning asks, "Are we all one beating heart?" The answer here is yes. Yes we are.

This is undoubtedly the best song of this album. It feels as if it is telling us a story of different people all at once. At one instant, it talks about friends, or comrades, departing with heavy hearts where they know they have sad life ahead with different stories to look forward to. They drift apart with heavy sobbing eyes knowing all those cherished moments might probably not come again; all those laughs and chortles and warm hugs might not ease their pains anymore. Everything is gonna be changed and past is gonna haunt yet save and make happy at times when there's nothing but beautiful memories to hold on to. At other, it tells us not to get closer to people or else we'll end up hurting and tearing ourselves apart. It beautifully points out a reason and draws an analogy of darkness singing to us as to why there are different seasons of our heart. There is a reason for that too. Reasons why we humans have this ability to feel innumerable emotions and that too all at once. We are meant to go through what we do, and feel what we are fated for. Further, it beautifully depicts a very romantic scene to us. A scene in which someone is seeing someone in a hotel who is too beautiful and pretty to be together with. A moment where one feels it almost almost unbelievable as to how one is lucky enough to witness that majestic beauty unveiling in front of oneself. A moment in which song asks us not to even blink for it may end; not to even think or it may fade. A small, short moment to just capture and save that glimpse till death. And sadly, where one realizes and questions, is it too beautiful because it's not meant to last? In the end, it hits us with a beautiful note of us being same in whatever place, religion or state we think we are. In light or in dark, we are but in a constant stream of time floating us to an unknown, imaginary valley. A valley beyond a thick, foggy forest where our hearts beat as one. A land where there is a season of light and love; a place where a slow passing breeze caresses our face and softly whispers to us: "See, you made it". Midnight, you're a true wonder. Thank you!

I like how this ties back in with the opening song, America Online which asks "Are we one beating heart?" and the ending song concludes with "We are one beating heart."

Last train and Brooklyn is a new masterpiece I can confirm

Anybody else hear sunset at the beginning? I also like how they tie in the whole “one beating heart” from America online into this song.

The top shelf tumbles and the world clocks run The west scotch bottles and the soda guns You missed the last train from the city tonight Old friends see each other in a different, different light You missed the last train tonight The alphabet city as dive bares drone And two pilgrims seek a makeshift home Missed the last train from the city tonight Old friends see each other in a different, different light You missed the last train tonight There is a song, singin' in the dark Don't get too close, it'll tear you apart There is a reason for every season of the heart There is a song, singin' in the fire Don't get too close, it cuts like a wire There is a reason for every season of desire The subway rumbles under Union Square And the morning finds an unlikely pair Hotel lobby holding hands Don't blink, don't think, don't look in her eyes Is this for forever or is this goodbye? Goodbye There is a song, singin' in the dark Don't get too close, it'll tear you apart There is a reason for every season of the heart There is a song, singin' in the fire Don't get too close, it cuts like a wire There is a reason for every season of desire Half in light and half in dark Is where we start Half in light and half in dark Is where we are Half in light and half in dark Is where we start Half in light and half in dark Is where we are We are one beating heart We are one beating heart We are one beating heart

Anyone feel like The Midnight makes you emotional and nostalgic for things you've never even experienced?

There’s not one The Midnight album that I haven’t purchased. These guys deserve every penny for their talent and efforts and creating music that is not only creative but harkens back to a time when music was just good, inventive, innovative, unique, complex, etc. Unlike much of today’s music that all sounds the same (for the most part). Keep doing what your doing Tyler and Tim-the synthwave community and any community that enjoys good music thanks you for the time spent on these songs!

I think this one might be my favorite from Monsters

The best Midnight tracks draw on Tyler’s lyrical strengths as a country artist. Loving the Fleetwood and Paul Simon vibes.

Over the years, I've become so numb and melancholy. The Midnight's music is one of the few things that makes me feel alright.

Just discovered this band yesterday. I’ve been missing out

"Half in light and half in dark Is where we are 🪐 ‎‏We are one beating heart🫀! - i love seeing you smile🪄

I want to live a life that sounds like this band's songs

I write, and a tear rolls... How I want to go back there... Into that room... that city... that time... I put old "Sony" in my ears, and at least for a while, but I'm transported there... Thank you for these moments, they are worth many...

I cant believe how much of an impact this band has made in my life...I listen and play rock and metal but absolutely love this music. So inspirational and new

There is a song singin' in the dark Don't get too close or it'll tear you apart There is a reason for every season of the heart There is a song singin' in the fire Don't get too close, it cuts like a wire There is a reason for every season of desire

Because their name is “The Midnight” and this is the last song on the album, I like to imagine the night is coming to an end and the sun is about to rise

The quiet, muted beat at the end of Midnight songs is always so soothing.

the best song on this album..

Hap...Decent new year of 2024, truly the best song to start a new year with!

the midnight is incredible

RIP Max aka Puppers ❤ I was watching one of your older live streams a couple of weeks ago, in which you were sharing a photo of the most beautiful sunset taken in Cayman Islands, and you were playing this song (Monsters album) as background music for it. It occurred to me at that exact moment that, in real time also, the sun was also setting on your time on this planet, having been shared the tragic news that you had only days left to live. Every time I hear this song now, it reminds me of you and your beautiful sunset 🌅 And it makes me tear up. You will be missed terribly by myself and your other fans. ALS is a horrible disease, we really need to find a cure for it 😭🙏 Stay comfy Max 💖💖💖

This song, this band makes me want to hope and dream again. They bring a breathe of childish wonder after I've been bitter for so long

This song takes me back to when I met my wife, us running around Chicago, late nights of spontaneous fun. Today is like a freight train full of chores, kid stuff, bills, appointments, job losses, interjected with moments of just holding each other just to get through. The longing to be carefee again haunts us both. Been on this train ride with her for 24 years and don't plan to get off. Love you, Noodles.

"Are we all one beating heart?" "We are one beating heart"

Brooklyn and last train deserve medal for best song of the decade...

I am obsessed with this band! Their music is soooo incredibly nostalgic; I can't explain it. Every time I listen to one of their songs, it's like a time machine taking me back to my simpler days in the early 90's. Love it! 💕

The vibe .. the feels .. the memories .. This song is like a train time machine passing beside a beautiful sunset 🌅 !

I want to say that I love this band beyond infinite, I woke from a nap, brought a joint to my rooftop, the sun it's setting down and I'm crying by how sad and beautiful life is, thank you, you are the best.

Can't stop the replay. The vibes of the 80's brings back my childhood memories.

The top shelf tumbles and the wall clocks run Well scotch bottles and the soda guns You missed the last train from the city tonight Old friends see each other in a different, different light You missed the last train tonight The Alphabet City's dive bars drone And two pilgrims seek a makeshift home Missed the last train from the city tonight Old friends see each other in a different, different light You missed the last train tonight There is a song singin' in the dark Don't get too close or it'll tear you apart There is a reason for every season of the heart There is a song singin' in the fire Don't get too close, it cuts like a wire There is a reason for every season of desire The subway rumbles under Union Square And the morning finds an unlikely pair Hotel lobby, holding hands Don't blink, don't think, don't look in her eyes Is this for forever or is this goodbye? Goodbye There is a song singin' in the dark Don't get too close or it'll tear you apart There is a reason for every season of the heart There is a song singin' in the fire Don't get too close, it cuts like a wire There is a reason for every season of desire [Bridge] Half in light and half in dark Is where we start Half in light and half in dark Is where we are Half in light and half in dark Is where we start Half in light and half in dark Is where we are We are one beating heart x4

I was born in 85 but my older brothers kept my music love in the 80s and after one of them committed suicide when I was 18 (he was 28), I always think I can hear his echo in music like from The Midnight (he played guitar and is the reason I love music so much)

I'm glad I found out about The Midnight. It has been an absolute pleasure and blessing.

Every time I hear this song, tears falls down... I don't why it reminds me of when me and my father took a drive on the road.... Just the two of us...

Thank God I discovered this band few months ago while listening to random songs on KZfaq. Love from India 🇮🇳

This song sounds exactly like Sunset from Endless Summer but in a more muted tone... That's probably why I like it so much! What a great way to end the album.

Every song I have heard off the new album is so chill. It's so damn hot, The Midnight was a good choice.

This is pure retro movie soundtrack ish right here

Old friends see each other in a different different lightttttttttt.

Finished the album and what a song to end it on. Absolutely incredible. I can't wait for my CD to come.

I was listening to this for the first time, and it started raining outside, never forgetting that.

1 cannot simply listen to this and not go toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiight every time

Dancing alone, eyes close at midnight.🎧🎶🎵

Beautiful song…I can’t wait to share it with that special woman. ❤ Seriously though, there are so many virtuous musical qualities to this great song that it’s hard to pinpoint what it is that I like so much about it; a real gem. 💎

I am thoroughly convinced these guys are incapable of producing sub standard music. Memories, Brooklyn and this one are among their most calming songs I can think off of the top of my head. I’ve been listening to this on loop the entire day (even at work) and thankfully didn’t miss the last train 😅

Finally! This is the vibe I was after! It's lyrically dense enough to put you in a thought provoking trance. Definitely one of my favourites from the album. The vibe reminds me of Sunset, which is probably why I love it so much!

this song is one of my top favorites from this album. words can't explain the amount of nostalgia I'm getting from memories I've never had. The midnight really knows how to build a movie or like a story in your head while listening. Truly remarkable :)

Whenever i hear those synths I go crazy . I so love the 80s.

Everyone have their own coping mechanism. Mine is songs that sound like they were made in the 80s.

One of my favs from the album

Man there are a lot of core specific memories in the picture on the video

Music like this is why I love The Midnight.

Everytime I listen to your music. You're taking me to another side of the world. The feels❤️

Fresh music!

wow, just realized that i have that wallpaper for my pc didnt know the band, beautiful song btw

Tim's super amazing arrangement and mixing with Tylet's heavenly built lyrics and voice just makes me fall into a time travel back to 80s. It's a time that I wasn't born but I don't know why it's like it always in my memory. It's so beautiful.

I heard this song not too long ago and it made me think... "Man! I can't wait till tonight to just get into my car and drive, while having this track play". Absolutely love this song.

I can hear Sunset! You guys are amazing

I listened to this over, and over, and over again. The beat is something you could fit in the 80's like a glove.

This one is really growing on me! love it.

Definitely getting Jackson Browne vibe from this song, it's beautiful.

All Midnight songs takes you to the beautiful memories of past ……..it comes from your 💝💝💝💝💝

Life just isn't life without a good tune

This just knocked it out of the park for me, what a great album from start to finish.

When days are tough and I'm feeling down...all I have is my day dreams...and listening to music from the midnight takes me miles and miles away from my issues. I day dream about falling in love, being a bad girl lol, or driving towards a beach... love you guys so much❤💋🥰

Im so glad cos Im living the same era with The Midnight

everything is perfect..the lyrics, the melody...awesome...bought the album from their website..worth every penny..

I found a video from someone else with this music, I had to search but god, am I happy I did. You guys are amazing, the kind of music I can listen in a never ending loop, thanks for your beautiful work!

I love this song 🎶❤️🎸🎵♥️🎸🎶

2 am , in my bed alone , scared of what winter will bring this year. I need to get outta here

I love The midnight very much, yes, i met them from the movie "Terrifier 2" the intro, it was so beautiful to hear the melody of The equaliser, it was art to my ears, i was completely captivated. Im glad I got more into this. 💘

The Midnight's music and aesthetic give me intense nostalgia.

so hard to have a favorite song when they're all amazing!

It’s the best song I’ve heard in my life ❤

Having access to their music is like having your personal escape into bliss.

Beautiful song!!!!!

Vocals 💯 Lyrics 💯 Instruments 💯

Stumbled upon this music. Never looked back. Fan for life. ❤🎶🎶

My heart never left this room.

My favourite by far it’s got dreamy Fleetwood Mac Vibes ✨ 💯

Makes me nostalgic for “Sunset”

My favorite song to put on after long day of work or in a night cruise.

This song is soo amazing!! Will never get old😍

Reminds me of a slowed down Sunset~ hear it? But like a sad sequel. Don’t get too close... I love this ❤️💔❤️

I wish that I had a bedroom like that to grow up in mine looked more like a jail cell and about the same size as one.

I feel very lucky to find this Gem .

No matter what time it is its always Midnight.

This song actually moved me to tears, it's that good. One of my favorites on the album.

From the very first second of this song I got goosebumps all over my body. For me that is the best song in this album.

Thank You!❤🙏❤

My old days back in my life thanks for the midnight love 💕 you

I have a theory about hearing the robot voice at the end of the song after hearing it in the beginning during America Online. The robot voice is the kid being young and looking for love on the internet “America Online”. “are we all one beating heart? Or are we strangers?” Years later after going to “Prom Night” and moving to “Brooklyn” he reconnects with an old friend (his date from Prom Night) and they fall in love after a night out in the city when they both miss the “Last Train” and start seeing each other “in a different light”. As he hold hands with his new lover walking out of the hotel he finally gets his answer. “We are on beating heart.”

This song is the greatest thing in my life right now and honestly I’m totally okay with that.

There's a market for selling our nostalgia back to us, but The Midnight has convinced me they actually feel it too. I love this music.

late nights, AC on, LED lights, alone, this song>>>>>
