Nikki's voice complements The Midnight just as much as the saxophone does. The chemistry is unbelievable. When you get Nikki Flores+Saxophone+The Midnight you can't ask for anything more or anything better.
Lyrics: Take me now, baby here as I am Pull me close, try to understand Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed Come on now, try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take my hand, come undercover They can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because thе night belongs to us How I doubt when I'm alone Lovе is a ring on the telephone Love is an angel disguised as lust Here in our bed 'til the morning comes Come on now, try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand as the sun descends They can't touch you now Can't touch you now Can't touch you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us With love, we sleep With doubt the vicious circle turns and burns Without you I cannot live Forgive, the yearning burning I believe it's time, too real to feel So touch me now Touch me now Touch me now Oh, because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers If we believe in the night we trust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us
@@bigsarge2085 "Jason" was my introduction to The Midnight too! Because I was already a long time fan of Nikki's solo work, and then they released this. I remember it was in August in 2016, around my birthday, I had just painted my room cornflower blue and I was in bed with a high fever, and then they released "Jason" and I couldn't stop listening to it. I stayed in bed, looking at the sunset from my bedroom window, burning up, listening to this song on repeat. It was like a dream translated into music. To me that song is what magic sounds like and will always be special to me.
Listen, the last couple albums were nice for what they were. But this EP...THIS is The Midnight I've come to know and love. Absolute 10/10 track again.
Mainstream radio is completely owned by hardcore satanists who are trying to subvert and destroy society. Because this is so positive and uplifting, they will never air it.
This cover is one of the best covers of any song I've ever heard. To take on such an iconic song is iconic in itself, to do that with it is just absurd. Amazing. I paid for Amazon music just to listen to this on repeat for the past month!
Nikki and The Midnight continue to surpise me. Yet another silky, glamorous night driving song that takes me on a journey every time I listen to it. This is the best Tyler has ever sounded. He's hitting the high notes so naturally and flawlessly. Nikki is phenomenal and I consider her integral to the band's definition. Please keep them coming 🙏!
These songs make me feel exuberant for life. I hope The Midnight plans to hold a concert in Texas (preferably San Antonio) next year. This music really touches the soul.
I'm seriously losing my mind, The Midnight, you are my therapy, I'm having eargasms. I can't even explain in words, I'm just feeling goosebumps whenever I listen to your songs. I really hope to see you live if you ever come to Sweden.
I saw the title and didnt think it could possibly be a cover, but im so damn glad it is. I absolutely love this song, and The Midnight certainly did it justice!
Very few people appreciate this genre of music and I’m so grateful and honoured that I love this genre of music. Absolutely love The Midnight for what they are and that’s what makes them so special. Thank you for making phenomenal tracks and if you’re here you’re special. 😉❤️
That's just awesome. Can not explain how I feel that. I wanted to say thank you to both of you for making it possible for us to hear such fantastic music. I really listen to your music every day for over 2 years. It accompanies me in every second. Thank you Tim Thank you Tyler
Listening to this over and over and I'm really trying here, I just want the *WHAM* this song should have and I know Lyle, Flores, and the Midnight can do. More cowbell... I mean *WHAM*!!! Please.
This song has had many covers and even the metal band Keel did one for it in the 80's but know matter who covers it the song was well written and performed by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith.
Nikki's voice complements The Midnight just as much as the saxophone does. The chemistry is unbelievable. When you get Nikki Flores+Saxophone+The Midnight you can't ask for anything more or anything better.
Truer words were never spoken.
cool, nostalgic, romantic, this is the midnight
i'm only mad i didn't write that comment first
Have you heard 'Jason ' it has that
@@jarooe9658 it’s my favorite 😍 I think Light Years has this combination, too
Nikki Flores and The Midnight are seriously such a good pair. Looking forward to more of them ✌🏻
She should just join the midnight
@@epicone2449 Honestly wish she does
Nikki Flores & The Midnight match in heaven
Still to this day, "Jason" remains my favorite song from Midnight. Nikki makes that song a masterpiece.
@Darrel WP We all have our opinions mate.
YO, if The Midnight set down and made covers of ALL 80s bangers, I will spend an ungodly amount of money to be able to listen to them!
I just realised this is a cover. No wonder it sounds so 80s!
Would be great, but it would fall into a popularity contest. Better if they pick and choose what they want to play, but if they ask...
"You Belong to the City" would be even more of an anthem than it already is.
The Midnight covering Red 7's Heartbeat or Don Johnson's Heartbeat would bring me so much happiness.
I know it's become rather meme-able these days, but if they made a cover of Africa, I'm sure it would be amazing.
“Because the Night belongs to us” . Name a better cover of this song. We’ll wait. 🌊
U guys are the best! Thanks for keeping the synthwave alive
The Protomen did a good one
Agreed!!
Shit, I didn't know it was a cover
@@A.ManAlone patti smith and springsteen wrote it and then 10000 maniacs also had a hit with it.
**GOOSEBUMPS, TEARS, OVERWHELMING NOSTALGIA**
Pleaaaase we need more Nikki Flores collabs. It would perfect if she just straight up joined the midnight band xD
Haha, I was thinking the same thing.
This.
Lyrics:
Take me now, baby here as I am
Pull me close, try to understand
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand, come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because thе night belongs to us
How I doubt when I'm alone
Lovе is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now
Can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love, we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now
Touch me now
Touch me now
Oh, because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Thanks, mate!
I loved "Jason", this sounds like another huge featuring
Light Years was so good too!
I love "Jason" too!)))
Jason was my first exposure to TheMidnight AND Nikki Flores, will always love that tune. Try "Light Years," too, its fantastic.

I'm a simple man. I see The Midnight and Nikki Flores and I just click.
I'm a simple man, I ignore extremely overused comments

it's not their track
@@AlexisComa huh?
Oh you mean because it's a cover? So what?
@@AlexisComa You really think there is anyone who doesn't know the original in this world?
@@DFCZE yeah, me 😂
Crazy that this hasn’t broken mainstream radio play.
Mainstream radio is completely owned by hardcore satanists who are trying to subvert and destroy society. Because this is so positive and uplifting, they will never air it.
when i saw "the midnight" and "nikki flores" in the same video title i physically pogged
Sale here, it's the win/win combo
SAME
You mean pooped? What is pogged?
@@philliprader6298 it's a word used to express or indicate excitement in a person's reaction to something, derived from "PogChamp"
@@Player1-up boomer moment
Midnight+Nikki Flores= best couple ever on new wave retro
Oh fuck. That saxophone.
This cover is one of the best covers of any song I've ever heard. To take on such an iconic song is iconic in itself, to do that with it is just absurd. Amazing. I paid for Amazon music just to listen to this on repeat for the past month!
Agreed
In my opinion, this somehow surpasses the original.
@@FookMi69 By the original you mean Bruce Springsteen's? He's the author.
Tylers voice + nikkis voice + saxophone = BEST THING EVER
Nikki Flores + The Midnight does not miss. Absolutely magical harmonies. Once in a lifetime stuff.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA a new release with Nikki flores!!! This is the best tag team ever
Sweet baby jesus the sax is in my DNA. Nikki Flores and The Midnight are a perfect duo~
Nikki's voice in freaking amazing, top level singer.
Nikki and tyler's voice, just perfect💛
So true
I'm gonna cry. This song is beyond beautiful.
OMFG NIKKI YES
I can't believe I just discovered their cover of this. 💜
Yes, this feels like a good spring break song
I have waited SOOO long for this song to be on Spotify/UA-cam
Mmmmm time to slap this banger on repeat for the next two weeks
The Midnight + Nikki Flores = perfection 💕
The Midnight + Nikki Flores + Sexy Sax ... they never get old.
thanks for existing guys, now my lifetime is always at midnight
They were magical in "Jason". Still magical here ❤️❤️❤️
They were also amazing in Light Years
Fabulous take on an 80s track. Beautiful melodies, vocals... and that sax!
The Midnight doing what they usually do... release masterpieces ❤️
A Sweet Knife piercing your heart
All you can do is smile hold their wrists and still not be able to stop
❤️
The first 10 seconds was my favourite part wish it came up more in the song it hits different
Nikki Flores. The midnight. Bliss.😭❤️
That saxophone though!! Love this cover ❤
Nikki the Californian Angel ❤️ Hope there will be many more songs with her and you guys.
ghost in your Stereo was bad... this is the good shit that i follow the midnight for !!
Nikki Flores & The Midnight go together like peanut butter and jelly.
The moment it started..I knew it's gonna be my next fav song😇
When Nikki Flores started singing, I knew it was another masterpiece.
@@bigsarge2085 I second dat😇
The instrumental version of the album is incredible to. With or without vocals ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was hesitant to believe it was a cover of the original song! Oh my gosh I love this so much! They never disappoint whenever they're together!
The best time of the year is The Midnight
Nikki and The Midnight continue to surpise me. Yet another silky, glamorous night driving song that takes me on a journey every time I listen to it.

I love the turn "The Midnight" took in their already gloryful carreer! This is gold! Pure gold!
Wow nikki you still got it amazingly wow what stunning woman
I'm seriously losing my mind, The Midnight, you are my therapy, I'm having eargasms. I can't even explain in words, I'm just feeling goosebumps whenever I listen to your songs. I really hope to see you live if you ever come to Sweden.
The instrumental of this track has such a huge Fleetwood Mac vibe and that sax, oh sweet honey cream pie diabetes, Batman!
The live version was AMAZING
Do more music with Nikki again!! Pure magic.
I saw the title and didnt think it could possibly be a cover, but im so damn glad it is. I absolutely love this song, and The Midnight certainly did it justice!
brb I’m crying tears of joy
Amazing Vocalist very cool and clear voice soft rock
This is just bliss.
I wish I could like more than once. Such a great song.
Midnight releasing bangers back to back !
Oh wow!!! 1) cover of a great song, 2) nikki flores, 3) the midnight (best band in the word) = This is AMAZING.
This version the best, the vocal is fantastic 😎🎶
Nikki ❤️❤️❤️
80s throwback brings back when I was 6 and loved these songs. Stay good.
Literally crying, tears down my cheeks.
Fuck you The Midnight, I love you
I swear!
That's a fairly common sentiment among Midnight fans.
Yeman, this is the way broski. Midnight are pure nostalgic blessings upon us all
This Tune Made Me Feeels Like Im Up In The Air Like a Leaf In The Breeze....Wow So Sooothinggg..... 👉❤️👈
The guitar effect at the start... Jesus!
Very few people appreciate this genre of music and I’m so grateful and honoured that I love this genre of music. Absolutely love The Midnight for what they are and that’s what makes them so special. Thank you for making phenomenal tracks and if you’re here you’re special. 😉❤️
Beautiful..😍😍🙏
Yessss, more Nikki Flores please!!!
This song is the best.
YEEEES NIKKI!!!
I heard this song on Kiwo's stream pretty often, and could never find it till she linked it for me.
Audiogasm! The Midnight and Nikki Flores, two of my favorites, together AGAIN on one of the best covers I've ever heard? Epic ~ keep up the great work
Taking a song from the 70's and making it an absolute masterpiece!!
No other cover of this song can compare to this.
One of my favorites
what a banger
This sounds awesome! Nikki is just a perfect addition to the Midnight. Think this is gonna be a big one!👌🏻
I love Nikki, never thought I’d hear her again
LOVE this cover so much!!!
oh gawd my brain got wowwowowow its just the best cover of pagi smiths song i have ever listened to
Best version of the song, easily!
That song made me so smooth that was actually great.
LOVE MIDNIGHT..............
absolute chill yet a banger at once, Yall ROCK!
Holy shit yesssss. I'm always glad to hear more music from The Midnight.
That's just awesome. Can not explain how I feel that. I wanted to say thank you to both of you for making it possible for us to hear such fantastic music. I really listen to your music every day for over 2 years. It accompanies me in every second.
Thank you Tim
Thank you Tyler
I think people forget Patty Smith was before 10000 maniacs and springsteen's version. This version is amazing. Love it.
Yes, Patty Smith did the original version. It was written by Bruce Springsteen though.
This song just warms you. That's the best I can say.
Saxophone+ Niki+ The Midnight= masterclass.
Man i love this song so much
This just became my third favorite midnight song behind memories and explorers (fourth and fifth being deep blue and days of thunder)
Need more Nikki Flores. Her voice fits so well
Brought here from Las Vegas 2069. This is awesome! I'm excited to look into your other songs
Listening to this over and over and I'm really trying here, I just want the *WHAM* this song should have and I know Lyle, Flores, and the Midnight can do. More cowbell... I mean *WHAM*!!! Please.
Just hear the live from California version... way better.
Epic!
Nikki Flores has the voice of an angel, it's amazing every time they collaborate!
One of the best covers in general I have heard in a while ❤❤❤❤
What an amazing cover!
Yeeeees! Another colab with Nikki!
This song has had many covers and even the metal band Keel did one for it in the 80's but know matter who covers it the song was well written and performed by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith.
Love Nikki's voice always.
It seems like The Midnight and Nikki Flores make a song together it's magic anything they make or touches turns to pure gold
Your music creates so much warmth with me, 10/10
