Ive begun to lose my hearing and in a couple of years i will be completely deaf. Ive been listening to this song on repeat, committing every note to memory so that when that day comes, I can play this beautiful song in my new silent world.

Synthwave makes me feel nostalgic to a previous life I remember nothing about, a place in some parallel universe I never visited before, a person I loved but never met before.

"hold me 'til I'm not lonely anymore" That... that hit harder than I expected that to.

The next GTA should have a radio called retrosynth and play songs like this

Who else thinks this song deserves to be a mainstream hit?

I need to start carrying around some bread and peanut butter, because The Midnight always comes to us with THE BEST JAMS.

I wasn't even alive at the time, but why do I feel nostalgia to the 80s

I'm 49 years old and know all the 80s hits. But I can relate to the gen z who is nostalgic for this, because it's more perfect than the 80s were.

The summer is just beginning. The lights of the game screens cut like swords through the dark arcade. You lean casually against the cabinet, watching as your best friend scrambles against time to beat his own high score. It's late now, and the arcade closes soon. This is the best run he's had. The 8-bit sounds, the soft pink glow: these are no match for her when she walks around the other edge of the cabinet. Your eyes widen. Your breathing halts. "Five minutes till we close, guys." She smiles. Like your friend's avatar, you're utterly slain. You say nothing, but your mouth falls open slightly. She notices. She raises an eyebrow, pauses. A new gentle smile. A hand through perfect hair. "We open at 9 tomorrow. See you guys then?" She looks right at you. "Maybe?" Then she is gone. And so, it is clear, are you. But the summer...the summer is just beginning.

Perfect yet again.

The Midnight is probably the best and most amazing musical find I've discovered in the last 20 years. I'm in my late 40's and aware of all the music greats of the last 50 years or so. Among my favorite artist and groups are Prince, Def Leppard, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Journey, George Michael/Wham!, Phil Collins, Savage Garden and many more, I wish some of them would have made more music like this. The Midnight have got the heart, soul and 'feels' in their music.

This album art really speaks to me. It immediately brings the feelings of being in a mall in Florida in the 80s, July or August. It's hot an oppressively humid outside, but here you get the chill of the A/C on your sun-kissed face and exposed arms and legs. You have the comfort of a familiar place but the listlessness of a high-school summer; the cold of the air but the heat from being out in the sun. Satisfaction of time to kill, yet an undercurrent of anxiety as you know that the summer will eventually come to an end and school will pick back up. You see your friends lounging on some benches nearby. You want to go to them but your crush is there and a flush starts to creep in. The air is cold but you're hot again. It's time to make a move...you've been waiting for this...

Hold me till I'm not lonely anymore. So perfect.

Wow.... everything you guys make... transports to another dimension.

This song helped me through my divorce, through the guilt of moving on to my next partner after it was over. We barely knew each other, but when we kissed "in the dark there were no strangers at all". My past marriage was such a beautiful dream in my youth, "but we were young once, but then we grew old, we were shining, we were fools gold. Hold me until I'm not lonely anymore."

[Verse 1] We were the monsters and fire-breathers We were the quiet sunrise leavers You were a good girl, what could I do? I was a lost boy when I met you [PreChorus] Hold me til I’m not lonely anymore It’s only the crashing of the ocean to the shore [Chorus] 'Cause in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all 'Cause in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all I was a lost boy when I met you [PostChorus] I was a lost boy, was a lost boy I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, was a lost boy I was a lost, there are no strangers anymore I was a lost boy, was a lost boy I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, was a lost boy I was a lost, there are no strangers anymore

ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ

This is a no-contest top 5 song of the last 20+ years

I grew up in the 80s and love 80s music. My 3 kids love 80s music. So believe me when i say that The Midnight is the BEST band i have ever heard by far. Why is this not on every radio station in America??

Underrated guitar solo on this gem.

I was a lost boy before the Midnight 🎆

"Cause in the dark there are no strangers, there are no strangers at all."

This song at 1:30am just hits differently. It makes you contemplate your entire life and history wondering what you would change and/or keep the same. I love you all x

This music deserve to be heard in a amazing pair of headphones.

I love you The Midnight!!! You're literally one of the best bands I've ever listened to. Waiting for the new album.

The Midnight doesn`t make music as much as they make EXPERIENCES. Love this so much.

As malls become obsolete. I continue to go to them listening to this music. I sit down under the clear glass like roofs. A storm brews out side, longing for the love of my life that never comes. As the neon lights of stores flicker their last before shutting down forever to never return to offer the joy they once did. So to dose my hope for what I long for. Just like the show that I present to the world I must go on.

I was able to share endless summer with my father while he was on hospice. it brought him back to remember his teenage years and being a kid and it was something we both jammed out to when he died it took me a while to want to listen the midnight again.eventually i decided to just feel what i was going to feel and try to face the finality that ill never have those times with him again until i listened to the kids album i began to realize why i love these retrowave vibes of nostalgia from an era i never experienced. we were able to make fond memories with this and the sound of past memories and sharing the same feeling with a cycle of remembrance and created an ouroboros cycle of love and fond memories of a time past. does it hurt sometime sure, but i value them engraved in the fiber of my soul. ill see you again pops in some way shape or form well repeat the cycle. this has so much more meaning than i could have imagined... There is a Japanese term: Mono no aware. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass-the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days that we will return to one day in the future only in memories.

I was in middle school from 1985 to 1988 - The Midnight captures the sounds going thru my head when I had my first crush.

How is this not the number one song in the world?

This song is incredible! Can’t be I’m today years old learning about The Midnight. There are no strangers at all! ❤

“We young once, but we grew old, we were shining, we were fools gold” As an 80s baby that f hits hard 😓

We need a own Radio Show with this music worldwide.

You know that moment when you listen to sheer perfection and you start sobbing uncontrollably? Yeah. *That just happened...*

This song makes me want turn back time to the 80's. It is so freakng good

2 years later still an absolutely amazing song. Intro is staggering. Classic

I never understood the thing about being nostalgic about era you barely reach by your lifetime, yet I fall for it every time.

Sax or no sax, The Midnight makes incredible music!

Chillin' just reminiscing about the 80s and how awesome life was for us....Malls, Arcades, Drive In's, (No Cellphones)….just you and your friends hanging out.....flippin' through Year Books....anyone else?

The intro is the most nostalgic inducing feeling I have ever had.

The midnight and Gunship, two of my fav bands at the moment.

I came of age in the 80's. This song so beautifully captures that time. I actually thought this song was from the 80's when I first heard it. Met the woman of my dreams and married her in the 80's; still married to her. "We were young once, then we grew old, we were shining, we were fools gold." The Midnight are my new favorite band.

This kind of musics Deserves so much popularity

Genius sound, music and lirycs. Now I'm lost in my 1984...I was 13 yo. Well beautiful feelings, dreams comes today to me as I listening this song. I realise I feel something like ...love at a first sight ! I jump to my car and drive a few hours while listening your music. Wow...neons, C64, VHS, Delorian, my God. A time travel! Thank you The Midnight.

I'm blown away by this music. I don't know how, but it takes me right back to my 80s/90s childhood. So incredibly emotional I want to burst.

band needs more recognition

It is amazing what a song can do to a human being. I'm not from the 80's and I remember all the memories I never had of a time that I didn't live. Beautiful.

These guys deserve such a bigger following.

The lyrics effectively has delineated the "lost boy" in EVERY man until he is lucky enough to meet his soul mate. Well done. X

This is still my favorite midnight track, incredible.

This song is my favorite song at the moment. It reminds me of when I met my Fiance and I was literally "lost" at the time and she fell in love with me at my worst time and was so supportive. Thank you The Midnight this sound really touched me.

Magical song

Love this song so much

This song should have billions of views, share it please so everyone else can feel the atmospheric moments

Dude this song is so powerful. I feel so many conflicting emotions all at once. A sea of memories and emotions come crashing towards me. Im swimming in the water not knowing if I'm happy or sad. I can't stop listening..

Waiting for earbuds I can surgically install in my ears so I can play The Midnight 24/7 as the soundtrack to my life.

I had slowly lost all hope for contemporary music over the last 10 years, but The Midnight changed that. I'm so grateful for finding them about a year ago. At least there's one band out there making music worth listening to. Looking forward to seeing you live at the Fonda in September!

Your voice when you say "Hold me till I'm not lonely anymore" makes me drop to my knees 💔

Lyrics------------- We were the monsters and fire-breathers We were the quiet sunrise leavers You were a good girl, what could I do? I was a lost boy when I met you Hold me til I'm not lonely anymore It's only the crashing of the ocean to the shore Because in the dark the are no strangers There are no strangers at all 'Cause in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy There are no strangers at all I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy There are no strangers at all We were the rebels, lone survivors We were the cult of deep sea divers We were young once then we grew old We were shining, we were fool's gold Hold me till I'm not lonely anymore It's only the crashing of the ocean to the shore Because in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all 'Cause in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy There are no strangers at all I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy when I met you I was a lost boy, a lost boy I was a lost boy There are no strangers at all Because in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all (I was a lost boy) 'Cause in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all (I was a lost boy) Because in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all (I was a lost boy) 'Cause in the dark there are no strangers There are no strangers at all

Take me back and then take me forward, well done.

Está canción me transporta a un lugar que jamás conocí, a un amor que nunca tuve. Una canción mágica que me llena de nostalgia, y produce una especie de flashback de tiempos pasados que jamás volverán.

I love that the time stamp on the video is July 31st, 1987 which is when the Lost Boys came out in the US

on July 31, 1987 I was 9.5 years old. i had a great childhood. the 80s were the best time.

yeeeaah back to 80s

Finally! Right when i think Tim and Tyler cant possibly get any better yall drop this. Thank you guys so much for making such amazing music. I cant wait for the day I will finally be able to see yall live

I wont say that things in the 80s were better than now , thats subjective however things were a bit more relaxed or at least it seemed that way . I remember riding in my older sisters car with no seat belts while she drove much faster down the road than the suggested speed ,Duran Duran blaring from the cassette player and the giddy feeling of excitement of going to the local theater , I remember playing with my neighborhood friends , riding our bikes all over the place , staying out till after dark . I remember all the cool T.V. shows like Miami Vice and Saturday morning cartoons and American Band Stand . Listening to Rick Dees weekly top 40 on Sunday . I mostly remember the seemingly eternal summers and my friend Lisa "I miss you buddy" . I guess we will never know if things in the 80s were better but my memories tell me that perhaps what I had then was .

This song on a walkman would be so lit and soothing

1 hour out and already on repeat, amazing retro tune!

Amazing voice tyler and the music OMG very nice song

You get Bands and you get Genius Artists. Sometimes you're born with exceptional talent. The Midnight has that talent.

Discovered The Midnight earlier this week, this song is the anthem this decade NEEDS. That and America 2. SUCH GREAT MUSIC

My mind is blown on how amazing this is

Flawless... Direct from the ears to my heart. Many thanks.

cant you picture yourself staring at the girl of your dreams in a dimly lit club and feeling her come closer as you tremble before she holds you tight and whispers in your ear that everything right now, right here is perfect. MELT

I was privileged to discover the song Lost Boy ... Today is my personal soundtrack !!! What a beautiful song, what an absolutely incredible thing !! I put the music on a flash drive, started my car, sound at most, on the highway, a real trip !!! Thank you!!! In fact, all his productions are incredible !!!

I wonder what everyone was up to on July 31st 1987?

Like someone said on another video; this is not an homage to the 80's, this IS the 80's. Truly genuine, truly inspirational and truly evoking emotions of a time I never experienced.

I have been listening to music my entire life. However, this song (until the first chorus) has one of the best openings I have ever heard.

This song is too good to be real and exist during our times.

New Gunship and New The Midnight on the same day? Whaaaa?? Good shit!

This duo never stops amazing me💕

This music can only be described as "Magic", an alternative, but better vesion of 80s music. Much appreciated.

Fell like I'm hearing 80s song🥲💓

This is amazing. I almost have no words to describe how good i feel by listening to this song. You guys have Tyler Lyle's song remixed, "Lost & Found" - and last thing i expected (but hoped) was that Norwegian radio channels would play that song. I was driving my car home from work that evening, and when i heard the song i had to double check whether my phone was connected or not - and then i realised it was you guys. Live on norwegian radio. I am glad i had closed my windows and stopped at a busstop, because i was screaming of happiness, even cried i was so happy. Then I had to film my radio just to get it on tape, that you were live. I've been following you guys since you almost were new - and I sincerely hope that more of your songs comes on radio, so I can have more of my overly obsessed moments of joy hearing you being played. See you in Oslo in february!

The intro is so magical.. Imo this is the best intro I've ever heard.. Till date.. Sometimes I feel like the intro is more than enough.. Its like I'm blabbering nonsense.. But idk this is indescribable

The 80's time was unique ...with melodies and tunes from various artists from Prince to New Order , The Human League , Duran Duran , Simple Minds , Tears for Fears ... All these artists gained from the techno .. Popular Music hasn't matched this level of genius since . now we have the manufactured pop culture .. the thing I take from from the 80's is freedom partying and fun ....

Im a metal/proghead but this is just 10/10 stuff. Wonderful verse compositions you guys have.

The most glorious day. Stay tuned for the comeback!

Thank you isn’t enough for this. You guys are amazing artists and I am truly proud to be a fan. Continue making magic guys, and I’ll continue to listen!!

Finally. ♥ This Band made my vocational college time. each learning before a class test. each drive after a party. Thank you so much guys.

This whole song is a mood for me right now. Currently crushing hard on this girl I met in college. Now, this girl I always knew was in my class, but I havent really seen her up close; face to face. She had dark brown hair, glasses, braces, and beautiful eyes. When I started talking to her, I was greeted with a beautiful smile, and she stole my heart with that. I fell hard for her in that single moment.

This song speaks to me in so many levels. It reminds me of how broken I am and my unwillingness to have another relationship out of the fear of having my heart broken again. 😞

That final chorus 🎸🎸🤗🤗 So so good! I can’t wait for the album to drop!

You know a song is good when it gives you Nostalgia for a time you've never lived.

I've been playing this on a loop for last 2 hrs. Dayyym the 80s ❤❤❤❤❤💪💪💪💪💪💪

sound eighties .. but with a hint of modernity, beautiful music congratulations guys, do you have an album?

perfect vocals and 10 out of 10 production

Met this guy friend online a month ago and we had such exhilarating and comforting conversations. I felt myself falling deeper into depths of familiar waters. He reintroduced me to this song - and I have been listening to this ever since. Turns out he was just playing me and every single conversation was a calculated and a manipulation of some sort. I’ve been genuine the entire time and I was innocent of any accusation he threw at me. I blocked him and decided never to speak to him again. Yet here I am listening to the song for the 10th time today. And I still wonder if going away was a wise choice. I miss the friend I made.

Man.. Can't belive this is their 3rd best song

Listening to this, makes me think I'm living in the 80s, hanging out with Eleven, Mike, Will... and the rest of the kids and playing Atari, NES and D&D.. (But living in 2018, makes me grab my guitar and solo over this song with so much delay and chorus) Love you #TheMidnight
