For any child lucky enough to experience an American Mall between 1985-1994, this was the song. It was running as fast as you could to find a spot at the arcade. It was spending hours in the comic store. Food courts soaked with neon and palm trees, even if you were in New Jersey or Minnesota. The Midnight traveled back in time and bottled that energy for us.
That's because they're reflecting the feelings of being a kid instead of simply copying what already existed. Yes the synth is there but its an original expression. You couldn't PLAY this in 1988 or 1989 because there wouldn't be nostalgia to cultivate. @@cody3335
We went from NL to Berlin with a bunch of 40-42 year old guys, just to have a good weekend and experience a live show of this fantastic band. It was the best experience ever. The midnight are so amazing, I swear they understand and know exactly what I feel. Those years we all remember so fondly, when we had no worries but thinking of what video games to play, what places to visit during summer time with all our friends, what records to buy... It's gone, we can never relive the memories but we will never forget them and hold them dear forever..!
My Song in 1987 ...20 yrs old Meeting a Girl in the Mall going to her homecoming Ball...The Music the Times Those Summer Nights...and i was that lost boy
Oh my gosh I love this comment.. I was the mall girl totally boy crazy hoping to run into the "one"!! Lol Love our generation of romantics. This band totally captures those memories and vibes we felt. Resurfaces every time I hear their music.
I absolutely love this song, i remeber first time hearing it in my car. I'm so hyped that I will hear the midnight live this year in my country. Pozdrawiam z Polski 🎶
@Forthecasuals it's just not good, I've played many many live shows. I've ran sound for a ton of bands, it's hard to say why some bands sound great live and others dont.... Some musicians are amazing when you shut the doors and have no eyes on them then they crater in a live situation, same for singers. Then you have the type of music... some music is easy to replicate and others not so much. Oddly enough, the more talented musicians that they've (The Midnight) added to perform more live and less depending on backing tracks, ect... the worst they have sounded. That's just my opinion though so, and I'm not trying to bash them. They are easily one of my favorite bands. Look up on here "Nocturnal Live"... its one of their earliest shows = Tim playing some layered synths on top of heavily based back tracking + Tyler on vox + a guy on sax and it's the best they ever sounded. One main reason I believe their music is hard to pull off live using mostly live musicians is the fact that thier sound is do heavily EDM sounding and that is very difficult to recreate. Anyway there are tons of reason at play here, it's all easy to explain while incredibly difficult to really explain. At the end of the day, mediocre (imho) musicians like Green Day sound amazing live while other more proficient musicians like The Midnight struggle mightily live. That being said def go see them and remember I'm just some rando on the webz. Cheers 🍻
Im a guitarist and i live in italy but i listen your songs every day i hope one day my dreams it comes true to play guitar with you with my quad cortex with you guys its my dream im born in 2001 but i love 80s music 🌟🌟🎸🎸🎸🌞⭐⭐🌞🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🌟🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸I love USA
I like these live tracks but what I think it fails to quite capture is the crowd participation, I've been to every The Midnight tour and that's the greatest thing to partake in, the whole crowd singing and dancing
@@tommy7576 it's been a long since I Not fall in love with a band like this one They're really good....they transport me to my childhood and happy moments I just can't explain...greetings to you dude.

It’s crazy because none of the soundtracks of the era sounded like them.
I lived through it. I’m not getting that vibe from this music at all.
@@doritoreiss8089 describe it then

Damn I like better than the studio version. Hope one day to see them live.
Happy New Year.
Was at that Seattle concert. Probably can hear me bawling in the background. What a blast that was.

Best The Midnight song
❤ I was a lost boy. We were young once then we grew old.

The Emotions The insights , memories and high inspirations
This will live forever!
Que buen tema, esta banda es genial, siempre me gustaron las canciones de los 80 y 90.
guitar solo even better than on record
The Song & the Soul...
Amazing!!! More musics like this
I have to be a honest as a long time fan never liked their live performances , but this is amazing ❤
There is a ton of post production going here to the after recording. It's not really "live"...
They are not good live at all and it's a shame
@@chad6326I've been wanting to go to a live show for a while, what's the knock on their live stuff?

@@Grim_Prospects Probably because of the live vocals. Otherwise they are great, so if you have the opportunity to see them, do it 👍
Absolutely amazing 😁👍
Come back to Portland please. Need to see you guys live again!

God i cant wait to finally the midnight live one day 🤘🏼
Adoro está canción ❤️🔥
I love you guyssss! So underrated ❤❤❤
Wow this is so good
So good!!!
Omg! La voz de Tyler...👄🔥😍
Checked this jewel on shroomiez yesterday evening. What a delight!
De lujo!!
These guys give me the tingles so bad it makes me seizure.
Come back to London! I'll be in the crowd dancing in a banana suit!
They were great at Brixton!
❤

Why is there no video of this! :(
0:42
Id love to have actual holographic photos in these videos.
Why are you so fu***** good?
I think it’s Tyler’s voice, they are great, but he makes the band, I can’t imagine anyone singing this except him

Is this song a reply to Frank Sinatra's strangers in the night?
Come to the United Kingdom ❤ 🇬🇧
