44 years old, love my childhood 80's music and everything inbetween. Found The Midnight when I fell into the synthwave abyss, and they have been my favorite since. They have been evolving however, and have morphed into something even more amazing. Still synthwave, still retro 80's, but....I don't know how to describe it....just keeps getting even better!
@@Jaha575 I seem to mostly like the bands/creators that have vocals. A vast majority of synthwave is instrumental - some of those are amazing as well though. My favorites are Gunship, Timecop1983, FM-84, and obviously The Midnight. Favs without vocals are Carpenter Brut and Kavinsky.
I am sorry, my wife, my best friend, I haven't been there for you to help you fight the demons, but I'm getting better and we can do it together if you bring yourself to trust me again. I will do what I can until you are ready for me, then we will fight back to back and slay our demons together. I love you forever 💖
Called a curse in the cradle Loving mother, unstable Daddy gone, under the table But you found a song in your heart So you learned how to fight, how to starve, how to survive When the others blocked your light you learned to see beyond the stars The curse of small desires Easily acquired It's time to set your gasoline heart on fire Kill your demons, kill 'em dead In your mirror, in your bed In your heart, in your head Don't you look good in red? Slay your devils, kill 'em all Take your throne, paint the walls And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high Don't you look good in red? Don't you look good in red? Is there more beyond those plains? You cut your hair, changed your name Left a note as you escaped To thine own self be true But there was no gold in those hills, no platinum in those pretty pills Just werewolves tossing dollar bills and the wine dark sea of Malibu The curse of small desires Easily acquired It's time to set your gasoline heart on fire Kill your demons, kill 'em dead In your mirror, in your bed In your heart, in your head Don't you look good in red? Slay your devils, kill 'em all Take your throne, paint the walls And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high Don't you look good in red? Don't you look good in red? No one's coming to save you No one's coming to save you Swing that sword that you made With the pain that they gave you Like the pain is gonna save you Kill your demons, kill 'em dead In your mirror, in your bed In your heart, in your head Don't you look good in red? Slay your devils, kill 'em all Take your throne, paint the walls And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high
Own all of the midnights cassette tapes, best feeling getting up at 5am for work, going outside to warm up the ride, choose an album, pop it into the cassette deck all while sipping on my hot caffeinated beverage ofcourse and away I go driving and watching the sun rise🌅 on the freeway.🚘🛣
This is more than just lyrics, this is pure poetry bathed in rock synthwave by one of most genius songwriters I have listened to. Having been an 80s teen once, listening to Pink Floyd, Journey, Marillion and the likes, I discovered The Midnight and synthwave a few years back when I wanted to find a time machine from UA-cam to return back to the 80s. And now I'll finish my prose book, inspired by one last song..this live version of Good In Red. Damn they're good.
The Midnight band is an absolute gem. Their music is so beautiful, powerful, and catchy - all at the same time. I just recently saw them live in LA, the best concert I have ever been to. An epic experience just like listing to their music.
Saw you guys in Denver in November. Hands down one of the best concerts we've ever been to even though it was a small venue. Actually, that's probably what made it better. Hopefully you guys will make it back sooner than later. I'm 50 and grew up right in the middle of the first go round of synth, and you guys absolutely nail/kill it.
I found the Midnight around 6 to 7 months ago and have purchased nearly every album on Cassette. I have a tape deck in my living room and when I listen to them through the high quality system/speakers it honestly sounds beautiful. This by far is my favorite Midnight Song though! Soooo sad I couldn’t go to see this live, but the video is awesome!!
Cassette! YES. I wish I still had my deck, but we have several of their albums on vinyl . . . it just hits different. "Horror Show" was our first and still my personal favourite. I cannot wait until this fall when they hit up ATX or SATX.
My Mind is Completely Blown Away You ARE My Children How on Earth have You Done This? A WormHole from the 80's to Today? You were barely born back then! And let's be Honest 80's Music was never THIS BLOODY GOOD. THIS IS Beyond EXTRAORDINARY I love YOU ALL
One of the underrated bands of today. Luckily i have Julien Solomita to thank for discovering this band. Love the 80's sound and the lyrics. All i have to say now is I'll see you guys in Boston in March. Stay safe guys.
Just saw them last night in Nashville and I’m ready to go see them again. What a brilliant performance. The energy they bring has you pumped the entire time and now they have Justin on Saxophone and they all sound just like the track the entire time. 10/10 I recommend you go if you haven’t already they are performing in Cincinnati at 630 tonight.
I cannot wait for April 2nd.. It'll be my first time seeing The Midnight live! My fiance bought me tickets for my birthday which is also in April.. Best present ever!
Those guys are like ffing Mozart. Hundreds of years from now...they will still listen to this music. (one of the last good things out of this era, that will stay with us forever...and when this civilization goes down...only that will prevail...that music.)
Holy snapping duck shit....!! I am late to the party and only discovered The Midnight a year ago. My son played "Los Angeles" in the car, and I sort of secretly noted what it was. Now I can't get enough and listen all the time...! I am such a fan boy, at 50 years of age!! I was completely gutted when I missed them in Stockholm earlier this year and can't wait for the next opportunity... LOVE them!!
The upper synth notes in this song is very similar to The Rippingtons- Tourist in Paradise. Especially at the1:20 mark and going forward. At some points it's almost exact.
@@anonymouzxx Для меня .Москва самое удобное место. Вот, что-то, мне подсказывает, что ради лишь Москвы они не покатят в такую даль. Хотя, все зависит от цены вопроса..)
Heard this for the first time today while scrolling through Facebook reels. Landed on one of their current drummer playing this song live. He got my attention, but the guitar solo is what won me over. 😫 Good God, where has this band been my whole life??
thought the same thing when I discovered them in 2022 on a spotify playlist of "suggested music". SOOO happy i found them. Literally music that hits to my soul with those saxophone solos and electric guitar bits.
Lyrics like the truth, 1980s synth wave magic poetry. Love the layers of this simple but iconic legendary anthem. It is a masterpiece live. Thank you so much, The Midnight, yes I do look great in red! ❤️ ♥️ 🎵🎶😎🫶🏻😍🥰😘 🩸 🎸 🎤
Love everything about this 💜 Tyler's live vocals have improved a lot over the years, Tim rocking out on drums and that guitar solo by Royce 🎸and of course it wouldn't be complete without Lelia and Jesse 💙 Can't wait to see them live in April in the Netherlands!
April 1 cannot get here fast enough it's literally all I can think about. I've always had a bad habit of looking up setlists before shows and ruining the surprise but not this time. Every song from The Midnight is amazing I'll be happy with whatever they decide to bring to the Tabernacle.
I love the heavy percussion!! I am seeing you guys in March and it is the concert I am the most excited for. You guys have been my top artist since 2018!
Just saw and heard these guys for the first time with Chromeo a few days ago and I'm an instant fan. As a big synthwave fan, I can't believe they flew under my radar for so long! I'll definitely go see you guys again next time you are in Atlanta GA
This is exactly the type of lineup I always thought this band needed to perform live. Brings a whole new life to these already fantastic songs. Awesome work, looking forward to seeing you live again someday!
Amazing...from a DJ in the shadows and a singer up front (which I enjoyed as well), to a full band with analog drummer on digital drums, solid bassist, and a shredder to boot...damn, great job making use of the down time and coming back strong!
Excellent performance. Guys you're amazing. Thanks to all of you, to introduce us new wave of synthwave music in this era. I'm in love with 80's but this is way better than 80's synth keyboard sound. Please keep up good work! Cheers from Turkey! :)
I just saw you guys in Pittsburgh on march 20th then 2 days later in Buffalo! My girlfriend got to meet you guys after the Buffalo show and I didn’t because we drove separately after the show😫 so unbelievably jealous but she got the vinyl signed so she’s lucky 😎 love you guys so much and so happy I got to see you 2 times in one week. Can’t wait for the next time! The vinyl is hanging on our wall now lol ❤️

@@vhayne91777 if you haven't already I'd recommend checking out LeBrock. They're from my home city and are fantastic.
@@WanderersForever88 Oh wow, thank you! Just listened to some, and they totally nail it! :)
The Midnight are always 101% quality.

This isn't music, this is art.
They can do no wrong. Brilliant performance of an amazing song!
Called a curse in the cradle
Loving mother, unstable
Daddy gone, under the table
But you found a song in your heart
So you learned how to fight, how to starve, how to survive
When the others blocked your light you learned to see beyond the stars
The curse of small desires
Easily acquired
It's time to set your gasoline heart on fire
Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red?
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high
Don't you look good in red?
Don't you look good in red?
Is there more beyond those plains?
You cut your hair, changed your name
Left a note as you escaped
To thine own self be true
But there was no gold in those hills, no platinum in those pretty pills
Just werewolves tossing dollar bills and the wine dark sea of Malibu
The curse of small desires
Easily acquired
It's time to set your gasoline heart on fire
Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red?
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high
Don't you look good in red?
Don't you look good in red?
No one's coming to save you
No one's coming to save you
Swing that sword that you made
With the pain that they gave you
Like the pain is gonna save you
Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red?
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high
thought it was take ur gun and paint the walls
Did Naruto write this song?

Man that guitar solo was really impressive, he even managed to change shirt in the middle of it! 😮😆
That’s some next level skill indeed.
Dang just made the same joke lol
One of the best guitar solos every recorded and this is coming from a Van Halen fan 🤘
The one in their Neon Medusa live vid is equally dope.
It sounded like lightning flashing around !!!
Absolutely.!!
Me too.
👍👍👍

The midnight makes you wonder if you're still in the 21st century or back in the 80's, so much love their sound.

the bassist is incredible and their backing vocals are superb a major talent
These lyrics are the real piece of art! With that song I had the best workouts of my life. The Midnight forever!
Me too it is always included in my rotation when running and needing power boost lol.
Saw you guys in Denver in November. Hands down one of the best concerts we've ever been to even though it was a small venue. Actually, that's probably what made it better.

This song was so dope at The Gothic.
I really hope when the tour is over they put together a dvd/bluray for sale on the website 🙏
Born 88'.. 35 now and THIS IS GOD TIER for entertainment, it combines old and new elements into a really interesting "musicalPASTA"
I love this song! And it premieres right after my lecture ends, so I'm not going to miss it! 🙌 🙌

My Mind is Completely Blown Away
You ARE My Children
How on Earth have You Done This?
A WormHole from the 80's to Today?
You were barely born back then!
And let's be Honest
80's Music was never THIS BLOODY GOOD.
THIS IS Beyond EXTRAORDINARY
I love YOU ALL
The drums change everything, I'm so shocked.
One of the underrated bands of today. Luckily i have Julien Solomita to thank for discovering this band. Love the 80's sound and the lyrics. All i have to say now is I'll see you guys in Boston in March. Stay safe guys.
Tim on a full drum set - my mind is blown! Love it!
Just saw them last night in Nashville and I’m ready to go see them again. What a brilliant performance.

Saw them in Glasgow a few weeks ago and yeah, Justin is a beast on the sax. Stellar stuff
@@johnnyshins511 the saxophone stole the show lol.
So glad i found the midnight, keep on going. Hope to see them in Germany soon.
I cannot wait for April 2nd.. It'll be my first time seeing The Midnight live! My fiance bought me tickets for my birthday which is also in April.. Best present ever!
Saw them in Milwaukee a few days ago. You won't be disappointed.
While i am unable to ever reach your concerts, ill always listen to your songs, thank you for the tunes that managed to give me hope.
You know this song is a masterpiece when the artist can wow you playing it live or recorded. Hats off to the artist. You never disappoint your fans!
Can royce pls never stop shredding this guy is so good
The midnight has definitely taken music to other level from retro to rock, who else agree with this 👌 amazing track, u guys rock always
Those guys are like ffing Mozart. Hundreds of years from now...they will still listen to this music. (one of the last good things out of this era, that will stay with us forever...and when this civilization goes down...only that will prevail...that music.)
Lovem, fantastic music. mildly 80s, but definitely 21 Century and I'm 52 and hooked.
This live performance is outstanding! Greetings from Poland
Yes, we need The Midnight to visit Poland :)
That snare sound by itself just shoots this song into the stratosphere. Fucking love it.
Saw them perform this song live in Seattle a couple months ago. Such a great song, it absolutely kills live! These guys are AWESOME!!!
I love this song!
The Midnight is absolutely awesome
Holy snapping duck shit....!! I am late to the party and only discovered The Midnight a year ago. My son played "Los Angeles" in the car, and I sort of secretly noted what it was.

You are guys, old time souls come back, this modern life. Thank you for all. Welcome to Hungary 🇭🇺
Люблю вас, ребята! Песня просто супер, а вживую - бомба! Очень хочется побывать на вашем концерте!
Было бы нештяк. если б они с концертным туром по снг. Офитенская группа.
Хотя бы в Москву приехали, а так самое ближайшее место - Испания, это я ещё в 2018 смотрел.

@@Hour.Of.The.Night. ну мне из Питера тоже не сложно - 7 часов по м-11 и я в Москве))
@@anonymouzxx Думаю, если будет такой тур, то в СПБ они могут и заехать. Так что, может занять около получаса весь путь. Будем на это надеяться.))
the midnight thanks for the music and happiness you have created .....did somebody say music was dead ?
Heard this for the first time today while scrolling through Facebook reels. Landed on one of their current drummer playing this song live. He got my attention, but the guitar solo is what won me over. 😫 Good God, where has this band been my whole life??

Holy SHIT The Midnight sound just as great LIVE as they do in the STUDIO!!! WOW!!!
We really need a live album!
your wish was granted 😊
Grew up in 80s yet I did not discover the midnight until about 3 years ago??? Absolutely love 💕💕!!!!
I can’t wait to see you live again when you come to the Netherlands in April. Keep on making amazing music!
This band is absolutely incredible!
I absolutely love this band and I get to see them in Chicago in just a few weeks
Lyrics like the truth, 1980s synth wave magic poetry. Love the layers of this simple but iconic legendary anthem. It is a masterpiece live. Thank you so much, The Midnight, yes I do look great in red! ❤️ ♥️ 🎵🎶😎🫶🏻😍🥰😘 🩸 🎸 🎤

This track is amazing, cannot get enough of it! I do hope a few remixes of said song will come along in 22🙏👌

This is exactly the type of lineup I always thought this band needed to perform live. Brings a whole new life to these already fantastic songs. Awesome work, looking forward to seeing you live again someday!
This pumped me up so much!!!
They need to release a live compilation album with live recordings like this from some of their tours!
This one in Berlin was 🔥🔥🔥🩸🩸🩸 what a terrific band.
OMG I am so stoked for The Midnight in London! See you there!
Amazing...from a DJ in the shadows and a singer up front (which I enjoyed as well), to a full band with analog drummer on digital drums, solid bassist, and a shredder to boot...damn, great job making use of the down time and coming back strong!
Just found this song by accident and this is definitely their best tune.
10/10 live too, these guys are amazing!
God damn Royce is an animal on that guitar!
Such an awesome song. 💜💖💜💖💜
Awesome 🌴 And only 3 month left to see this in live in Paris 🔥
Damn dude... shredding that guitar like there's no tomorrow!
Such a great voice. Even better live
Obviously the BEST. A+. 100 percent. Top of the pops.
These guys are just too bloody amazing. ❤
Saw them in San Diego. Damn they are incredible.
Wow that guitar solo at the end was so epic he changed his Purple Rain shirt to an Iron Maiden one in the middle of it 😎
Everyone needs to share the midnight. Buy your friends and family concert tix. Play their music at gatherings.
Looks and sounds amazing - so glad to see the full drum kit for the live shows! Wish I could make it to a show but this is the next best thing.
I love this song
we are looking forward to it 🤗

Glad to see y’all on the road again. We will see you in Orlando again. Bigger musical family this time.
Universe 🌌 is on the way
Обычно на концертах поют хуже, чем на записи, а тут получилось очень достойно
Saw you in Seattle and will see you again in Chicago. dream come true for real!!
I cannot wait to see them soon. Sax solos live are gonna make me JIZZ
got to finally see them here in the van buren last night, amazing show
My headphones cannot go loud enough for this.
