LYRICS:
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy sound check
To her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
You haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine
And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost
And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice
That everyone is staring at you
And you so care what you look like
The world is falling
Around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
And you know that she'll break you in two

this song has been giving me chills for 13 years.
yeah it's that sick
I feel you brother ✊🏼
saw them in concert at the height of this song. Epic performance in a small venue. Great musicians.
You just have to see her
ouch. why you gotta go throw time into the mix
In the blink of an eye, fifteen years go by and you're still broken.
me too. twelev years and I'm okay but I'm still broken
Brian Thomas Driscoll how do you move past that?
@@lbevi3469 I really don't know. I guess fall in love again? I haven't tried. What are your thoughts?
Prophetic song. I wish I'd known.
@j Y
True. Growth and introspection are the keys to moving past anything.
Man this is why I'm so grateful for UA-cam comments. The amount of people that can feel this song somehow makes it more beautiful. Stay strong peeps.
Yes Absolutely
Same band different song is WAKE UP ? FROM WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE no no that's arcade fire😅 my bad
🙋💜
agreed
Bro, I'm 35 and this still reminds me of the one who got away. I'll never forget being at Panera and hearing this song and the waves of emotions I didn't realize I'd feel one day when it crossed my feed, like tonight.
a song for any man who has truly loved and lost.
been there ...THIS SONG KILLS IT!!.
Caught mine cheating after 11 years. Wonder what happened after midnight 😢
If goosebumps and white knuckles gripping a steering wheel while crying had a song... This is the song. This is the soulful song.
I love this comment. Yup.
Yassssssss!!!!!! 👊🏼

This was my first exp with this song it came on the radio at the right / wrong time. I just found out I was being divorced while driving home from the Airport.
Omg. Yes....
I just love how you can literally feel the raw emotion of him just having a total meltdown... the buildup...
I dig how the intensity of his singing and the instrumentation increases as the song progresses.
THE WAY THIS SONG BUILDS IS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING
YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
To know that she'll break you, too.
I come back to this song so often. I'm not even experiencing heartbreak and haven't in years but this song is just SO good it makes me long for that FEELING again
Me too!!!! I first heard this song many years ago on the radio while driving through Houston and I was balling so bad that I had to pull my car over!! But, unfortunately they never said the name of the song or who it was by! So, that was it! I heard possibly the best love loss song ever written and I would never hear it again, which made me cry more. Fast forward to a few months ago and I was looking for the song Goodbye Horses from Silence Of The Lambs, but instead of the original song coming up first, it was a cover by some crazy named band I never heard of called The Airborne Toxic Event. With a band name like that I had to click on it and see how it was. To my absolute delight, their cover was, in my opinion, better than the original. So, I looked through the rest of their playlist and saw this song. It had millions of views so I clicked on it and was absolutely thrilled to find this song again!!!! I grew up in the late 70’s and all of the 80’s, the music I fell in love with back then was and still is spectacular! Even so, I have to say I do believe this is the best damn song ever written!!! Everything about it is perfectly achingly painful and absolutely brilliant!!!!
Perfectly stated
I think that represents the feelings of MANY of us
Tell me you don't want to feel heartbreak again cause that would be weird
@@PeterNgolaI kinda get it. I'm soon to be 47 and have been married for 17 years. There are times I find myself missing those intense feelings from my youth that I haven't felt in so long.
That said, I'm also aware that I'm simply romanticizing those feelings. Actually experiencing them is completely different. The mind does a fine job at blocking out traumatic feelings and pain. It's worse than you remember.
Caught mine cheating after 11 years. Wonder what happened after midnight 😢
Really missing driving these days. There’s nothing better than being on your lonesome with the volume cranked up and belting out this beautie. Let’s hope we’re over this nightmare soon
Next year im guessing but we'll all be drinking; thinking of this for the rest of our lives.
Funny you commented this... I decided to do one of those dumb challenges on Instagram stories... 30 days of songs. I chose this song as “a song to drive to”
I also picked this as day 7 of the 30 day song challenge!!!
Anthony Jennett I so hope so Anthony. And I totally agree about belting out a song like this as you’re driving along. I stumbled onto this song because the band’s name caught my eye. UA-cam recommended it to me after I’d been listening to an old Yeah Yeah Yeahs song and it’s a new favourite already - gets you in the 💔...
Hear hear!
I wish I had more people in my life who listened to music like this
pop round
If your still looking for friends I'm here haha
If you ever visit Australia. 😄
Yes, very underrated.
Your not alone brotha.
Los Angeles CA USA
The Power that we give to other people. Its crazy.
So true
Assured mutual destruction? You have faith that they don't want to push that red button.
This captures the angst of heartbreak so eloquently
1000%
Its actual therapy! Shock!
Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard in my whole life. I remember hearing for the first time and just losing my breath. It's beautiful.
Really, me too. I couldn't speak. Your comment summed up my experience to a T. Thanks for that.
Last call with carson daly, I remember him saying he was blown away from this song and group. I'm so glad I was watching that night so long ago.
@@johndough3943 Saw that same show! The strings in this song just slay!!
Woodcock aye
I just read the same thing re: Odesza's Moment Apart album. I'm all over the place with music, but am glad I found this one.
The progression of feeling in this song is unmatched to any other.
Snow patrol do it also
And radiohead
Executed so good, when I think about this song I jus think about "you looked like youve seen a ghost" the buildup to it is amazing
Another one is Lazy Eye by silver sun pickups, not as strong of lyrics but still great song
Mr B on D Dear Donald
When you hear a song that melts away 40 years of life and takes you back to those precious four or five years in your mid-20s...to your first true love....you know you've found not a good song, not a great song, not an epic song.....but a song that is LEGENDARY.
This is me and my wifes song, 25 years still going strong
Yess
Absolutely
Agreed
@@benhamza8881but this song is about break up and getting over that loss?
If this song doesn't make you cry, you've been very fortunate in life.
Yeah….
indeed.
The lyrics are visceral. This is a trauma that every human can relate to. It rips your heart out and you can FEEL the lyrics. Also it's refreshing to see the comment section full of men being open about the song.
Your right.I'm a guy and I've felt inclined/entitled to feel it MORE. But your right In your own comment: "This is a trauma that every Human can relate to" As R.E.M said: "Everybody Hurts"
Listening now with Chills up my back
Well I mean the song is written by a man so you know there's that
What has been felt can't be unfelt.
Its literally written by a dude lol but it's refreshing?
Almost every man can relate to these lyrics. A woman you love slipping out of your hands and you are utterly powerless to prevent it. You can rage and cry but knowing none if it will make a difference. 'you just have to see her, you just have to see her'...like it's the only thing that will keep you breathing. Amen to that.
Amen.
Damn.
This.
I feel my soul change forever when that happened to me. I was forever changed. Not better not worse but just different. In the mere reality that I could never go back prior to this pain is a whole hurting in itself
This comment is as good as the song. Nicely said, friend.
Still in my rotation after all of these years. The anger is palpable.
And sorrow and longing.
Such a good song.
That’s because Mikel was in a serious on/off relationship for a while. A few of his songs are about that… so, yeah, palpable anger.” I’ve been to two shows with TATE in small venues and I loved every minute. I happened to hear them on Jay Leno before they recorded this song and I’ve been a fan ever since.
This is one of those songs with no repeating chorus. It’s just a perfect little story pack with emotion and raw energy. If you have loved and loss this song will bring the memories rushing back.
Why does this song always have to come on when I'm piss drunk :..(
Like it sneaks up and taps me on the shoulder and says, "hey... I just wanted to let you know that... YOU'RE GONNA CRY"
I just poured myself another glass of wine after reading this..
Then you had to listen to this song again privately.
Pour one for me Tracy 😋
@@lithiumkc8 a week later, and extended quarantine in my country, and in retrospect I had no idea how much I took advantage of that glass of wine 🙈 alcohol and cigarettes have been banned until lockdown lifts at the beginning of May. My two vices.
Lmao 😂 so fkn true 🍻
Tracy Keegan oh no 🙉 how horrible!!! Is it still that way?
Where are you from?
If there's someone you think of when you hear this, just know that you're not alone.
Yep he's in my bed . Our moment was just as good 😊
@@thevoiceoffreedom3177 I don't think you understand the original comment.
Heard about a movie that said this bands title and remembered it out of nowhere…. What a day… ha!
Miss Meggan every day.
@@Reimerguns stay strong and keep your head up because you are not alone 💯 🙏🏼
Never met any one who enjoyed badass music like this. Glad there’s a comment section
This song makes me sad for girls. I'm a guy and in 2021......Girls have SHIT to pick from. From what I've seen in the last 30 yrs.....Just get a dog.
This was the best music ... Miss those days...
As I’m downing glass #4 of wine you know my feelings
You are not alone.
When I first heard this tune, my life was falling apart. On top of that, I was madly in love with a woman, which I gotta believe it’s what this song is about. I would drink myself to sleep night after night listening to this song. I could feel myself being pulled into the video. Life goes on and time heals all, but all it takes is a few ounces of good bourbon and this song and it puts me right back in that time.
Lyrics like these can only come from personal experience. Simple, raw, emotional and honest. If this song leaves you cold, you have a soul of custard and a heart of clay.
This is the best love loss song ever written!!
Cheers
I vividly remember 13 year old me getting mesmerized by this song every morning before school when it played on VH1. As if I knew what heartbreak was then.
Vh1 you ought know artists
Me too!
Yes! Middle school romance was intense for me.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Captures all the heartbreaking and desperate feelings it should capture. Masterpiece.
true statement
Amen❤
Absolutely.
One of the greatest songs of all time. Has to be top 10 in retrospect. Hindsight, whatever you want to call it.
Captivating emotions, raw truth, simple performance, understandable. The only people that disagree, have never felt emotion, are questionable, or tepid at best.
You got that right!
The buildup, the emotions, are visceral. I feel every note, every lyric
*You just don't care what you look like, the world is falling around you* That line hits me as I'm sure it hits a lot of people out there.
Me AS WELL!
It's a crazy good song.
We've all had, or will have at least one obsessive, toxic relationship in our lifetime that everyone but you knows is just no good. Quitting this person can be like kicking a drug addiction; paranoia, anxiety, depression, even sweats, chills and nausea. And like a drug, even though it's poisoning you can make you feel more alive than anything else in the world.
Jason Walter Perfectly said Jason. I couldn’t agree more. And what a great song. I haven’t seen my one in three years now but I still dream about him, more so since lockdown started. The band name really caught my eye by the way...I arrived here via a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song.
That "one" literally stood me up on the wedding day. 6 months later i hear this song and now sobbing like a kid.
Exactly
i have had more than 1. it sucks beyond anything.
serene sojourner if you ever find out, let me know
This goddamn song.
Brilliantly constructed. Get's me everytime.
Right??? It's not unnecessarily complicated. Just simple and brilliant.
Get’s?
Since the apostrophe marks ownership or a missing letter, I’m curious as to what you mean...
Does “me everything” belong to “get”?
Get cannot own anything as get is a verb.
So I’m assuming get does not own me every time as ‘me everytime’ is not a noun and not able to be possessed.
In that case the apostrophe must be to mark a missing letter.
Get is me every time? Get us me every time?
I’m confused.
Gets*
I’m also an absolute arse for this but if someone learns then it’s worth it .
PEACE
Banging song x
Same.🌼
I know right?
was just explaining that to my best friend. it's hard to put the finger on it. so many elements... the build of the instruments... the lyrics being followed by a slow moving angst and then the release of it all meeting and spilling out between one's ears.
I remember hearing this song in highschool and thinking it was a nice song. 13 years later I'm revisiting and I finally understand what these lyrics mean. For anyone going through something like this your not alone reach out for help if you need it
i heard this song on the radio years ago and didn't catch the name. i have been looking for it relentlessly. i feel so elated finally finding it
Welcome to the world of pulling out this song every 3 years or so to relive it!
@@edwardkay288 Only every 3? You've got far more self-restraint than I.
Sometime Around Midnight"
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when you lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a cross
The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine
Then she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost."

You know that she'll break you in two
@@VaderPopsVicodin10 the song reminds me of an ex i saw with someone else. But it's a damn good song.
****holding her tonic like a CRUX
Otherwise, perfect!
@@karenlucas2887 everyone has enough of your attitude Karen. We know you really don't care.
@@karenlucas2887 I think you meant "like a crutch."
No matter how much you get over a girl, no matter how happy you become, the idea of her remains with you and forever makes you wonder "what if" its beautifully terrifying. Even if it's been years, even if she has completely changed and it could never work, the idea of her refuses to go away
13 years...And it starts sometime around midnight
This is one of those songs you remember your entire life!
Yep
Confirmed!
One of the greatest songs of the last ten years; melancholy yet still ultimately explosive and cathartic...
Preach brotha preach
Well stated.
I feel like this comment section is like heart break anonymous meeting
This x100
I'm a widow at 46 so yeah lol
@@kellyrocha1082 feel your pain
You got to hell...whomever put these towels in the locker🤣
Is heartbreak anonymous a thing cause if it was it could get there before all the anonymi
This song brings back memories of every painful break-up I had in my youth. I'm 66 now and have been married for 33 years, but the memories still come rushing back.
BTW, if you're a fan of intelligent rock bands, and you probably are since you're watching this, I highly recommend Dawes. Especially the song A Little Bit of Everything.
OMG! A little bit of everything
When My Time Comes, that's a damn fine song.
@Leo Brussel You, sir, have some helluva good taste in music. If you have children, I sincerely hope you've fostered a similar appreciation in them.
@@Tupelo927 Thank you very much. My 31 year old daughter is a music lover. We've kind of switched generations as to what we think is great, though. She, for example, thinks the Beatles White Album is amazing, while I think it's self-indulgent and overrated. I think My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade is the greatest rock album ever made. She thinks it's just OK.
I like All Your Favorite Bands ❤️
One of the most underrated songs and bands of all time!
"Underrated" That's why it has over 12 MILLION views.
I heard it in a few movies too this song was popular,
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
To know that she’ll break you in two.
EVERY single f*cken time, huh?
I know right.
Breaks me every time...
@ex tothenetwork why are you hear?
I saw her 😔
This song used to bring me to tears and make me sick with how much I related to it. It's a bittersweet feeling when a connection like that ends.
one of the best songs made in the past 15 years.
Song takes me back to when I had my first heartbreak when my first love left me I was distraught heartbroken and thought I would never get over her... Forward months later and I'm at a random dive bar in downtown L.A. I'm there enjoying my drink when suddenly I look across the bar and see her staring at me, all the memories and emotions came back like a flood but I was strong enough to just leave my tip and walk away. Years gone by and I'm with the new love of my life happier than ever. Moral of the story; keep your head up, brighter days are ahead. 💯
Umpteenth million time I've listened to this masterpiece and it just gets better and better. This song, Bittersweet Symphony and The Funeral are consistently on a loop.
Woah me too creepy
I'll give that loop a try. Thank you for that gift :)
Gotta familiarize myself with that one I don't know now!
I came here after The Funeral. Spot on!
@@JenniferDuron The Kid Cudi song?
This song makes me feel like I've already experienced these things and I'm looking back on them. It's sort of frightening. This so is heavy
but don't ya just sorta wish...just WISH that this song had some more cowbell
TheStormofStorms every song needs more cowbell!
TheStormofStorms Wire brush on cowbell, maybe. Hard-core "Everybody's got something to hide", probably would not work here
IJustShot MarvinIntheFace i love how his emotions rise in tempo with the song
This song just wrecks me.
32 years later and I am still hurting. She left a space in my heart never to be filled again.
Should I call you a "WAHHHBulance?"
I can relate. Really !!!
I found this song by accident. Wow is wasn't just an accident, it was like a head on collision.
Same
Yeah it hit me like that as well. LOL
Me too...love this song!
How?
I love this comment section. People from all walks of life, all different experiences but all share one thing in common. Heartbreak. It's like a therapy group.
grif vanne, I'm in total agreement with you
😉
And they help to get us through. So loving it!!!
sometimes you find beauty in the strangest places... the beauty of the human experience, completely agree
fuck my heart, honestly
This song is sitting alone, surrounded by people, while you get pulled back under, reminded of a time when love had meaning, and hope was high, where your life had a future and everything didn’t hurt.
Perfect.
That is an emotion we will all have, or have had...
When you were young
You can’t understand, but if you do understand then you get it.
That’s what’s this song is about.
I’ve been broken in two and I’ve been broken in so many more pieces but yet I’m still whole. I’m still here.
I like that
You think that you forget about her. You think that all what had happened means nothing now. You have great life without her. You don't need her. But then you hear this fucking perfect song and all memories come to your mind, your heart is breaking down, couse you know she was The One. She was unlike any other person. That kind of unique feel her smile gave you.... You're wondering were she's now, what she does and if... maybe she also thinks about you. Maybe... you will met again. And you know if you had a second chance you would never let Her go... Becouse this kind of love happens once in your life.
Couldn't have described it any better♡
*pats on back with paw* dont worry we will find her together
❤
++++
Yea you described it perfectly. This song makes me think about all of the good memories that I had with her. All of the good times and amazing experiences that I had with her... they wouldn't have been the same with any other person. She was the one who made me feel like the luckiest guy in the world whenever I was with her... She made me happy. She meant the world to me, and I loved her to the point where I did have to let her go. She had dreams and goals that she wanted to accomplish in life, and I knew that she wouldn't be able to fulfill them if she stayed with me... So I had to say goodbye. Maybe my life will be just fine without her. And who knows? Maybe we will meet again like you're saying. But until then, I'll keep the memories of her playing in my head as this song plays on repeat...
I'm jealous of anyone who's not currently living this song
I'm sorry for you. I likely will be again eventually
Anyone with Venus in Pisces..
Now im living with it.
@@giiiaaancp wanna tell us about it?
Ryan Thomas ... 😎 keep her happy and always smiling
This is the first song I’ve ever heard that gave me a full on out of body experience doubled with chills and numbness that I haven’t heard any other songs compete on that level. It’s so amazing and scary at the same time.
I worked for SoundBite Studios and had the privilege to listen AirBourne come every morning and create and rehearse this song.
One of those rare songs that affects everyone.
This song brings back memories I don't want to remember.
Jessie stuart same here and it hurts..
Hurts the same every time. The shock factor never fades.
I’ve been trying to close that chapter for so long now.
You’re supposed to remember these things. You’re supposed to be sad. Embrace it. Happiness will come. And when you're happy, you’ll become sad again. You can’t have one without the other, that’s the beauty of it. Embrace it.
Jessie stuart
Hi I’m commenting here to remind you to feel them
This song is perfection. I could listen to it on repeat forever. Perfectly captures that angst.
Man, this song makes me feel things and I've never even been in a real relationship before. That's how you know they did something right with this song.
I know nobody cares, but this song is so unbelievably powerful to me. The love of my life left me and got engaged to someone else a few short months after we broke up. That was right around the time I discovered this band. I'm in a really great relationship now that I see going to marriage and for life, but watching this video made me feel everything I did before. It's a strange feeling to love a song so much even though it makes you cry about something that happened so far in the past.
I get to see these guys tomorrow night in Milwaukee. Hopefully I don't cry in front of a bunch of strangers when they play this one..
You're not alone. This song came out at a perfect time for me, when I was going through the hardest time in life. The music is beautiful and the words fit perfect to what happened to me. Every once in a while, I will need to listen to it and let it all out. Tonight was one of those nights.
Yeah man, not alone. I'm going through it once again right now. This song keeps me sane some days but I don't think I've ever listened to it without fighting tears
I know those feels. This came out around the time my first fiancee split but I was constantly seeing her around. Every word of this song resonated with me. This song may have been one of the few things that pushed off the syicide attempt for so long.
People care bro.
Your right nobody cares.
Hang in there broken hearted ! ❤
This one is for the history books
This song captures that feeling so perfectly... It's as though you're doing OK , then you see her, and you get a glimpse of that unattainable emotion before you slide back into the abyss!
Perfect description of any of the other comments on here. Its like relapsing from a drug. It is a drug. Heartache.
Amazing lyrics founded on the fact that we have all been there. This song exemplifies music written from the soul and from life experience.
A great song!
The whole scenario where you’re watching each other trying to be low key but you just
Know, and where you get memories or try to show off someone new is actually so goddam accurate. Honestly this song is one of the most realistic songs that people can relate to
Hard to explain but that violin shot at 3:10 could only exist in songs written from 2005 to 2010. Great track.
One of my all time favorite songs I absolutely love how the music intensifies with the emotion of the story.
I used to jam to this song every day on my way to high school and didn't really care what it meant. Then last night it happened to me.
Damn brother.....you're greater without her man
Welcome
"The violins are essential & really make the song complete & completely awesome."
Something I never thought I would ever say & for those that know me, a seemingly impossible utterance from these lips...
This song cuts just as sharp as it did when I heard it all those years ago.
I love how the tempo (if that is the correct musical term) and the complexity of the music builds to convey the building and confusing emotions being experienced in the song. Just fantastic use of music to tell the story. Based on the end....he does not find her. Love this song.
When there's a pain so deep in your heart and only one person can fill the void.
You got it!
Wow... you've been there...I can tell
I think this song is quite uplifting. Perception .
This song has a hypnotic effect on me, just like this girl that I knew once...
The type of song that makes you wish your volume control had a infinity setting!
13 years later, and this song is still a part of me.
We are here with you.
Just discovered this absolute gem! wow its sooo nice to find "new" music and to have it be this good, such emotion, such power, beautiful!
I first heard this song before getting married to my high school girlfriend. Now I'm listening to it, divorced, after 10 years.
Timeless, isn't it?
james ruther perfect brother. Peace
My man. I'm so sorry. Stay with us, brother. We need you.
@@ShimmySnail I'm not going anywhere, my man. I have 2 kids who need me, full time, so I have no choice other than to thrive.
ruther 2 kids, same here. Raisin de tray.
My man, I’m in the same boat. Although only 6 years for me and no kids. Stay strong.
Added this to my "Mr. Brightside" collection of songs... somewhere in my head. White knuckle stuff.
This is the most unique song I've ever encountered . No chorus repeated over and over . It is a seamless journey from one thought to the next . And I'm loving how many people this can apply to . Isn't that that shit
Yes, it's the shit
Haven't heard this song in so long, it's an all time classic and it's not showing any signs of deteriorating with age. Only getting better in my opinion!
It's been 15 years... I'm still not over the one girl i loved
Nobody will replace her... but someone else can still come along.
i feel for you jose. i hope you can find peace in someone new or maybe that day will come when she stumbles back into your life when you least expect it...thats what im waiting on at least.
lol get over it.
It happens...
I can relate 13 years here
This song will never get old for me. It’s been a part of me for so many years. Every single time I’ve been in pain. It’s just beautiful. The lyrics are something else
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy sound check
To her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
You haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine
And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost
And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice
That everyone is staring at you
And you so care what you look like
The world is falling
Around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
And you know that she'll break you in two
This song is timeless, anybody that ever broke up or misses someone (Which is every dang body) will feel this.
this is the most beautifully sad song i know
Almost 40 years ago my first true love broke my heart. I can still remember the pain I felt the first time I saw her with another guy. This song really captures the pain that you feel. The buildup is what makes the song.
Every time I listen to this song, it brings back a flood of nostalgic memories and emotions. A classic.
This song is what it feels like getting hit by a truck. Brings back.. memories. This have been on my favorite list for a long time. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
" feels like getting hit by a truck " ABSOLUTELY God damn right,
This is an example of how a work of popular or rock music can transcend the banal and truly be ART
"Sometime Around Midnight"
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when you lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a cross
The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine
Then she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Then you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice that everyone is staring at you
You just don't care what you look like
The world is falling around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You know that she'll break you in two
Here I am. 2024. And this is still my go to "I'm so sad" song
Man, college and being young.... this exact feeling happened to me way too much in my late teens/early 20s..... It's a tearjerker of a song if you are going through something like this. Glad I was able to grow up and move on.
15 years married and still madly in love with her when she left in 2013. I survived, and found someone that loves me back!
Thank you for this
awesomesause
i'm so fucking sorry for your wife!
I relate to you IT took me 19 years to find my ground
Right on sir. Never let anyone's decisions hold you back!
I'm a pretty happy guy, but this song makes my stomache ache with emotion
Disco John same for me
Disco John I don't know why I always come back here and listen to it... I feel so miserable everytime.
yeah
I crave the misery from this song
I crave the misery from this song
This video is 11 years old! 😦 I’ve been living under a rock...I’ve just heard this song for the first time today and I’m making up for lost time. On repeat, bingeing all the nuances.
same here! i can't believe i never knew this masterpiece existed. on repeat all day everyday!
This song is a masterpiece.
When the lyrics hit the heart dead center.
The gradual increase in beat throughout the song until it crescendos is just like the knife being driven deeper & deeper until it's finally pulled out at the end. And you're left forever slow-drip bleeding. Not enough to kill you, but too much to live...
Sometimes you just listen to a song and it makes you feel so overwhelmed with emotion. And you wonder how a person could not at least once listen to it. How a song so beautiful could go undiscovered by so many. This is a fine example of that song.
Barely anyone I know is familiar with this band, so it's delightful to see this video has more than 12 million views. This band deserves more recognition;
