Lyrics! One year closer to my death I still haven't found what I'm looking for yet It's not big blue eyes and long blonde hair It's not a million dollars or a secret prayer Another year asleep under the spell Sometimes it's hard to remember 'cause you wear it so well Made my home in the underground 'Cause nothing grows in the wasteland now Are we just too easily pleased Here with our pundits and sages Witty and pretty and shitty and high Almost getting by Almost getting by I'm ready to live my life again Like there's a chance worth taking I'm ready to love you like I can Like my heart's not breaking Wherever you are Wherever you are Red, white, and bruised I'll keep waiting But the missing hero is you Broke down on the 101 Just bad luck believers blinded by the sun We chased our dreams like you taught us how But nothing grows in the wasteland now Are we just too easily pleased Here with our pundits and sages Witty and pretty and shitty and high Almost getting by Almost getting by I'm ready to live my life again Like there's a chance worth taking I'm ready to love you like I can Like my heart's not breaking Wherever you are Wherever you are Red, white, and bruised I'll keep waiting But the missing hero is you I'm ready to live my life again Like there's a chance worth taking Ready to love you like I can Like my heart's not breaking Wherever you are Wherever you are Red, white, and bruised I'll keep waiting But the missing hero is you
One of the best tracks they have ever made imo!! Absolutely awesome title track, blends the euphoric 80s feelings perfectly with The Midnight I know and love.
Agreed. Top-3 material for me, besides 'Jason' and 'Kids (reprise)'. Whenever the chorus starts I automatically turn up the volume and start singing along with a big smile on my face; this is an insane anthem and probably the retrowave song of the year.
This is my favorite song out of the whole album! When they say “I’m ready to live my life again” it really hits me because I’m getting a tonsillectomy on Tuesday the 13th after years of complications and haven’t been able to work or finish my college degree. When I get out of surgery I’m playing this song!! Thank you The Midnight for being the best band ever 😍❤️
I already know I’m going to enjoy all of the songs from this album, but I think this one is my favorite so far. Excellent job Tyler and Tim and everyone else involved in the production 🙏🏻
this track's probably my favorite out of the album overall, along with change your heart and heartbeat! i absolutely love the key changes in the chorus
Fantastic!!!!!!! Liked within the first 3 second!! That reverby guitar strum got a stark The Police vibe, certainly along with the "E-Jeh". Midnight, if you read all our comments: we love you to the moon and back. The wall of synth-sounds you bring is, again, propelling us to the highest realms of synthy sunsets. A masterpiece. We all want to thank you so much.
When the first couple of singles came out, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel. But once Golden gate started playing and after Energy Never Dies, It Just Transforms ended, I realised that this was aspecial album just like Monsters and the previous records. Absolutely fantastic!
What a fucking tune, omfg. I can't express how much I just want to let others hear this.This song has the same feel as Los Angeles for me, just right on the button.
The bridge thingy that starts at 3:00, and coming in with that giant sledgehammer of a bass synth, that feeling is exactly why i make music. The fact that it pulls the same feeling out of so many different people without saying a word. Summoned, evoked from somewhere else and pulled into reality. Tldr this shit slaps
I went down a retro wave wormhole some years ago. I came out with the midnight tight in my clutches. I refuse to let go! Props on the album guys , kicks ass, best in the business as far as I'm concerned
Whatever it is that starts at 4:55 is absolutely breathtaking, listening to it for the first time. It’s divine in a way that doesn’t think of itself as such. It’s haunting. It fills me with images and feelings of a life I’ve never lived, of a sunset vista from the cliff of an alien world, of a nightlit city skyline that doesn’t exist yet, of a golden wheat field with a populated by a single windmill under a purple nebula-streaked sky. I need it in my veins.
@@cliffmcfarland75 i would say "inspired by" or "homage", not really a ripoff. But they have shown that they are big Police fans so i personally appreciate the nod.
@@yoteca Also, hear the intro on B.F.L. The cars - "best friend's girl" come to mind?? And the intro to "Loved by you"...sounds a little similar to REO's "can't fight this feeling" right? I honestly haven't bitched about the midnights work after years of listening, until this album was released. I still preordered this album though. Im just pointing it out, that's all.
You can't stop surprising me, every song you make have a strength that can be shared to those ones who hear it. It's what I feel every time I hear you guys. I can't say I have completely one favorite of all of the songs you have created cause every one haves it's special touch. I'm really happy I found your music. I love this album a lot has the other ones. Hate that I just can listen to you in the phone or the PC and not in a concert, but really I'm so glad you exist. Yesterday I was hearing dance with somebody and a humminbird just appeared , I was singing and it didn't gone away, I think he or she just feel the good vibes of the midnight. Keep doing so greatest music. Thank you for that. :3
This album is incredible! And I just love the beautiful narrative that this band has created over these last 3 albums. Kids, Monsters, and now Heroes. Can't wait to hear these new tunes live!
Heroes and Aerostar I first heard back in December last year some guy uploaded them and they got taken down and I’ve been waiting and waiting for this album to release since and the wait is over
How? How do you guys continue to release hit after hit after hit? This is easily in my top 5 The Midnight songs. I saw you guys in Austin last year and I counting the days for the next show!
It’s comments like these that are pissing me off lol everything that was great about The Midnight is missing from this snoozefest of an album. No synthwave, no sax and just all elevator love song music. Only songs I like are Aerostar and Avalanche and even those are becoming forgettable
@@jimarchambault8262 You are looking at it from your own point of view. This album is just as good as Monsters. I agree not every song is a banger but as an album it is better than Monsters and Kids. This album is about growth, empathy, and the love for every experience that one witnesses in their own lifetime. The themes in Heroes transpire better than Monsters and Kids. I love “Deep Blue”my personal favorite song from “The Midnight but this album is easier to relate to since I’m now 25. 80s music is different than the 70s but is more upbeat than the decade of the 1970s. Overall man everything is subjective. You might not like the new album but I appreciate the diversity “The Midnight” brings from all their work
@@jimarchambault8262 i fully agree. Really miss the sax and and the type of impact the other albums had. That is fine, I was at their concert just before this album , so at their best
I always love the 80s Americana but this song hits a little closer to home. In the UK, we've been having our own share of troubles for some time so it's easy to identify with this one. Love from one Red, White and Blue nation to another.
Tiene voces y sonidos de The Police, creo que concretamente el "iieeoo" es del tema Message in the bottle y su música del comienzo y final. Y me encanta!! O quizá el sonido de guitarra sea del tema de The Police Walking on the moon
This is such an amazing song. Playing this for the first time dancing in the kitchen with my fiancé. My smile just got bigger as the song progressed. 🤍

3 seconds in and it successfully nails The Police, A Flock of Seagulls and Duran Duran vibes. Well done!
Exactly! All I can think is of Sting and the Police.
@@juliushardy i want my , i want my, i want my MTV!
3:40 The police + TOTO (home of thr brave ) :)
Yes! Nailed it. And still completely their own
lol, Yep, Home of the Brave indeed!
I wish the best night drives and rainy nights to all 😊
Thanks but hold the rain please :)
Lyrics!
One year closer to my death
I still haven't found what I'm looking for yet
It's not big blue eyes and long blonde hair
It's not a million dollars or a secret prayer
Another year asleep under the spell
Sometimes it's hard to remember 'cause you wear it so well
Made my home in the underground
'Cause nothing grows in the wasteland now
Are we just too easily pleased
Here with our pundits and sages
Witty and pretty and shitty and high
Almost getting by
Almost getting by
I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth taking
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breaking
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Red, white, and bruised
I'll keep waiting
But the missing hero is you
Broke down on the 101
Just bad luck believers blinded by the sun
We chased our dreams like you taught us how
But nothing grows in the wasteland now
Are we just too easily pleased
Here with our pundits and sages
Witty and pretty and shitty and high
Almost getting by
Almost getting by
I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth taking
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breaking
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Red, white, and bruised
I'll keep waiting
But the missing hero is you
I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth taking
Ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breaking
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Red, white, and bruised
I'll keep waiting
But the missing hero is you
I heard Red wine and blues... :) Thank you for your transcription.
wa
many many thanks to you...

THIS is the song that makes me salivate when I imagine being there LIVE to hear it.
OMG it was incredible. You've gotta see them.
@@jennijulander8759 I did last year, front row! :D
I saw it live a few days ago. Lelia doing the 'eewayyyooooo' vocals is great.
This song was absolutely awesome live I am so happy I got to see it!
Gotta love when Tim uses the BWOW synths
Bwow?
I believe it’s a highly processed guitar strum.
Holy crap this song is such a banger! Can't get enough, amazing stuff guys!!! 🧡
Why do you get a blue tick?
Prolly gonna blow the speakers out on my corvette listening to that solo at end! This is my favorite song on the album!
The Midnight literally just opened a doorway to the 80's. Or....they really are time travelers! Love this, love your music.
This is my favorite song out of the whole album! When they say “I’m ready to live my life again” it really hits me because I’m getting a tonsillectomy on Tuesday the 13th after years of complications and haven’t been able to work or finish my college degree.

Best of luck bro 🤙🏻
Hey.. how you feeling?
You alright man ??
I already know I’m going to enjoy all of the songs from this album, but I think this one is my favorite so far. Excellent job Tyler and Tim and everyone else involved in the production 🙏🏻
Wholeheartedly agree with this!
The midnight is the reason why I get up at 5 in the morning to run in the field and keeps me energized.
this track's probably my favorite out of the album overall, along with change your heart and heartbeat! i absolutely love the key changes in the chorus
yall make the best music out there. absolutely my number one favorite band
Im getting in my car right now and gonna blast this album driving around town late
That Don't Stand so Close to Me nod at the end..... chefs kiss * cheeky Tim, very cheeky
the Eyeeeeahhhh part totally gives me Sting vibes in a good way. Well done lads
The wait was real !!!! Man this sound is magical
this "Police vibes" intro it's so fucking amazing!!!
Yep, guitar is def inspired by Walking On The Moon and the "e-oh" is straight out of Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. 😉
Fantastic!!!!!!! Liked within the first 3 second!!
That reverby guitar strum got a stark The Police vibe, certainly along with the "E-Jeh".

Amo tanto essa banda The Midnight ❤️🇧🇷
Feliz em ver mais 🇧🇷 amando The Midnight!
Essa banda é maravilhosa.
@@wi_lian POSSO DIZER O MESMO! FELIZ EM VER MAIS BR AMANDO THE MIDNIGHT E COMENTANDO AQUI!
tmjjj
O que eu catequizo meus amigos na religião do The Midnight desde que descobri essa banda é brincadeira kkkkk
It's been out for like 2 hours and I'm ready for my 3rd replay, this is amazing 💜💜

Love this song reminds me of The Police Walking on the moon great beat and lyrics you guys never disappoint 💜
the intro reminds me of synchronicity....
@@MarcoTosoniOfficial exactly
Definitley a synchrocity rip off
@@cliffmcfarland75 i would say "inspired by" or "homage", not really a ripoff. But they have shown that they are big Police fans so i personally appreciate the nod.

Has strong Andy Summers and Sting vibes from The Police. Love what you guys did here!
Yes, plus Home of the Brave by Toto at the end. Very heavily inspired.
I love the nod to Don't Stand so Close to Me at the end
I'm in the love with the visualizer and the song is gonna make me addicted for sure (and the whole album). Terrific voice, lovely brand new energy 🎶🌟💜
The Midnight, The Police & Toto, mix in one song. Fucking Amazing!
This album is incredible! And I just love the beautiful narrative that this band has created over these last 3 albums. Kids, Monsters, and now Heroes. Can't wait to hear these new tunes live!
I like that guitar "twang" we hear during the verses.
Heroes and Aerostar I first heard back in December last year some guy uploaded them and they got taken down and I’ve been waiting and waiting for this album to release since and the wait is over
WOW. The leading song, no doubt. Also Tim used the "Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield" Riff 🎹🎹 as the arpegio
I have a 3 hour drive tonight and I just found out the midnight have a new album. The universe provides.
Ive had every The Midnight album on repeat for about 5 years now and every album is AMAZING! ❤❤❤
This is a hot summer track!!!
If the Police became the first ever synthwave band, this sounds like it would be their hit single, nice job guys!
Shit’s gonna go off live during that instrumental! So epic
How? How do you guys continue to release hit after hit after hit? This is easily in my top 5 The Midnight songs. I saw you guys in Austin last year and I counting the days for the next show!
Fantastic track, this has a great and good energy ! i love this one and the guitar solo its amazing.....
Yes! I can feel that The Police / new wave influence here. So good!
This one is a repeater for sure!! The Midnight as always is perfection!
What a song. The last part tarting at 4:00 (ish) is just so good.
Outstanding track, the album is a great play from the start to the final track. This track on headphones is a joy!
Just listened to the whole album. Every song is just the best, definitely my favourite album

This blasting at night with the windows down. 💜
Open them and make everyone apreciate true art
@@alezurita90 just out here spreading the good word(s)
Fantastic track and my favourite from the album. I think this song best suits the visualiser video for this album.
I always love the 80s Americana but this song hits a little closer to home. In the UK, we've been having our own share of troubles for some time so it's easy to identify with this one. Love from one Red, White and Blue nation to another.
I am seeing them live in St Louis in October and so hoping this is part of their set!
Best thing you guys have ever released. And I'm already a fan. This is so freaking good
your taste in music is just top-class if you’re here ! greetings and much love from malaysia 🇲🇾❤️🇺🇸
I cannot wait till the first time i get to see the midnight live! Been a day one lover ❤️ retrowave forever 👊
A little bit of OM53 vibe as well. Pundits and Sages thanks for uploading the video

It ought to be said, the outro has so much in common with Toto's 'Home of the Brave' outro. Good inspirations ;)
Beautiful as always
Best track on the album
Wooow impresionante, grandioso álbum!!!👌🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Every The Midnight song is transcendental.
The "hiaaao" is really great, a characteristic sound of Police 😎
This is such an amazing song. Playing this for the first time dancing in the kitchen with my fiancé. My smile just got bigger as the song progressed. 🤍
LOVED IT! TRUELY 80s feeling Vibe💖 And the Lyrics! OMG! This world we live in now. IS A WASTELAND!!
Perfect band
The end is so epic; think about flying through the sky like superman. Love it!
One year closer to my death
I still haven't found what I'm looking for yet
It's not big blue eyes and long blonde hair
It's not a million dollars or a secret prayer
Another year we sleep under the spell
Sometimes it's hard to remember
'Cause you wear it so well
Made my home in the underground
'Cause nothing grows in the wasteland now
Are we just too easily pleased?
Here with the pundits and saviors
Witty, pretty and shitty and high
Almost getting by, almost getting by
I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth takin'
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breakin'
Wherever you are, wherever you are, red, white and blue
I'll keep waitin'
But the missing hero is you
Broke down on the 101
Just bad luck will leave us blinded by the sun
Yeah, we chased our dreams like you taught us how
But nothing grows in the wasteland now
Are we just too easily pleased?
Here with the pundits and saviors
Witty, pretty and shitty and high
Almost getting by, almost getting by
I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth takin'
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breakin'
Wherever you are, wherever you are, red, white and blue
I'll keep waitin'
But the missing hero is you
I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth takin'
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breakin'
Wherever you are, wherever you are, red, white and blue
I'll keep waitin'
But the missing hero is you
Thank you my friend
Purchased this track and listening to it on repeat. What a track. OMG
What a banger! 😍
Really deserves the name of the album 😎👌🏼
The last minute of the song is DAAAAMNNN GOOOOD!
Wow this song sounds so epic
I was literally jamming throughout the whole song
Beautiful Song! I can really feel some Toto's "Home of the Brave" vibe! I appreciate your AOR influences!!!
The production and mixing is outstanding.
there are many bands I like listening to, but there is no band I NEED to always come back to like them
One of the best so far and that's saying something because all of your music is amazing. This feels very 4th July.
Great song, great vibes. I especially like the ending. Well done!
The Midnight gets better and better....just wow
Another masterpiece from Midnight!!!
This is my Favorite one out of this amazing album
@ 3:20 soooo wonderful
Gonna add this to my Jazzercise List 🤩👯♂️👯
Damn straight
All your songs are amazing, but THIS IS JUST BLOWING MY MIND
Great eighties sound, amazing!!!!💯💯💯💪💪💪💖💖💖
Amazing song! If you like the ending part be sure to check out Home of the Brave by TOTO ;)
Best on the album next to "Heartbeat"
Medusa lyrics in the beginning, i love that song
I hope you get the recognition enough to be successful and to be able to make more music.
Yeah abt time
This Song is Aweosme
❤🔥 Wow!
Beautiful!
El mejor álbum del año 🔥👁️
Love that Sting Police era finisher
Man, I love your music, holy shit it's good
Just saw these guys in NOLA for the first time and omg I loved them before but now?!?! 😍😍😍 beautiful music from beautiful people!!!
Just about everything by The Midnight is awesome. 10 out of 5 stars. Would absolutely recommend!
The ending of this splendid song reminds me a lot of " home of the brave " by toto and the police
totally agree
