    I lost my son 2021January and this his favorite music. I listen to them as often as i can because it makes me closer to him. At his funeral we plyed The last Train and Memories. Whenever i play them i just cry. I just love the music by the midnight.

    LYRICS
    I fell in love with the feeling
    I didn't fall in love with you
    There was a song I was singing
    It wasn't meant for you
    I'm sorry
    That I can't stay
    And I'm sorry
    We're light years away
    I bite your lip
    And you taste like summer time
    I can't forget
    The days when you were mine
    Do you wander the streets every night
    Just to find me too?
    Lightyears
    Echos
    In the streetlights
    In between those
    Spaces in the moment
    Come and find me
    Where we let go
    Come and find me
    Where we let go
    I fell in love with a feeling
    And your funny faces
    You were beautiful and broken
    In all the right places
    I'm sorry
    That I can't stay
    And I'm sorry
    We're light years away
    Millions behind or lightyears ahead
    Our time is now - our time was then
    And I hear your voice inside of my head but It's just a silhouette
    Do you wonder what happened
    To all of the love we lose?
    Lightyears
    Echos
    In the streetlights
    In between those
    Spaces in the moment
    Come and find me
    Where we let go
    Come and find me
    Where we let go
    Come and find me
    Where we let go
    Lightyears
    Do you want your tears back?
    Lightyears
    They're gone
    I'm sorry

Who I'll never be able to hear again. It hurts so much, I love it. 💔

    My feels song.
    Found my first love this year, and 6 months later went through my first breakup. Naturally these lyrics uncannily remind me of those times, the kisses, the way she looked at me, the tender hugs, and listening to this song, makes me feel all kinds of feels, you know, that it didn’t work out, but life goes on I guess.
    Tyler, Tim, if you read this, swear to god you are my favourite artists/musicians right now because songs like these have been personally pretty therapeutic these past few months since I fell out of what felt like true love, this song, also Sunset, Memories and others like them. Keep up the incredible work, what amazing sounds you make.

    So I discovered The Midnight about 2 months ago. I spent the first month listening to the Endless Summer album on repeat as thats the one my friend showed me first. Finally I'm going through the entire discography and Holy shit... I can't even begin to pick a favorite song or album... its all so good. Most artists have weak albums and tracks but with The Midnight, they're all equally eargasmic.

    I never imagined one artist would touch my soul with so much of their material. I feel like the soundtrack to my life was composed by The Midnight. I feel genuine elation from your music, and it brings me a nostalgia that is undeserved by someone as young as me. If I ever believed in past lives, it certain would be when music like this takes me back to the 80s, the decade just before I was born. I feel like I have always been a lost boy chasing the setting sun.

    • @piercearora7681
      @piercearora7681 Рік тому +3

      Yeah. Some of these songs really hit me different. "Dream Away," "Lost Boy," "Brooklyn," "Light Years," "Last Train," "Los Angeles," and "Heart Worth Breaking" especially. They really do feel like the soundtrack to my life, and I am also too young to be nostalgic, but anemoia is universal. So many of these songs also have this sense of deja vu, as if I had listened to them thousands of times in a past life. You summed it up better than I could :'-)

    The last time I had breakup was in 2018 due to youth, difference, selfishness, ... and many many things.
    I happened to find out The Midnight in mid-2019 and they became my favourite - especially Los Angeles, Sunset, Kids, Brooklyn... and LIGHTYEARS.
    Back then, I sometimes thought that our breakup happened because of that distance - which can be measured by Lightyears - it just means "tooo faraway".
    4 years later, I met the one that I can feel like I can fall in love with once again. That came true. Now we're going to celebrating our 1st anniversary.
    Although I don't usually listen to Lightyears lately, this is still the best song from The Midnight. With Lightyears, I look back to those days and feel grateful that I was patient and brave enough to live through.
    I hope that everything should be ok - just be okay and we will take the rest 🥰🥰

It's almost the end of the school year (We get out of school on the 18th this month) and I'm planning to have a few of your songs played for my classes. So I'll definitely be able to play your most warm, heartfelt, optimistic, and enthusiastic songs you guys have created, both this year and from many years ago.
    Also, I really hope you guys would at least reply and wish me luck on the last 2 days I have left for this school year. And if you don't, I'm okay with it. Respond or not, I don't mind. Have a good day, guys. And have a good summer.

    “Come and find me where we let go” is such a subtle way of conveying that after he left, she still hasn’t moved on and had been waiting ever since, still hopeful he would eventually return

    It's so hard to describe what I feel when listening to this. It's just hard.

    Agradecendo à Deus por ter encontrado essa banda MARAVILHOSA!!! Sério estou curtindo muito todas as músicas, nasci em 1996 mas tenho certeza que deveria ter nascido na década de 80s. Obrigado por criar essas músicas incríveis de verdade! Muito bommmmm!
