The Midnight

The Midnight is a synthwave band composed of Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Jamison Tyler Lyle and Los Angeles-based Danish-born producer, songwriter, and singer Tim Daniel McEwan.The band was formed as a result of Tyler and Tim meeting during a co-writing workshop in 2012 in North Hollywood, CA. Inspired in part by the score for Drive and the retro synth genre growing around its release, the pair wrote two singles "WeMoveForward" and "Gloria", that would be released two years later in 2014 as part of their debut EP titled Days of Thunder. In 2016, the duo released a 12 track LP Endless Summer, followed in 2017 with the release of Nocturnal, which spent several weeks as a best seller on the music distribution website Bandcamp and reaching #17 on Billboard's … more »

There's traffic on the bridge
But the skyline shines with a certain light
I know you're sick of it
But I know a happy hour nearby

And there's a possibility
That one day things'll get better, for
The huddled masses in between
The shadows and the stars

Floating empire, held up by fraying wire
I'll cover you in winter like a blanket by the fire
When the rent's too high, we'll just buy cheaper wine
And hang on to see if whether 
The constellations hold together or not

Four years in Brooklyn
And happy birthday darlin'
When we feel young again
I'd like to take you dancing

'Cause there's a possibility
That one day things'll get better, for
The huddled masses in between
The shadows and the stars

And there's a possibility
We'll both go down together
Free ourselves from gravity
And tumble through the dark

Floating empire, held up by fraying wire
I'll cover you in winter like a blanket by the fire
And when the rent's too high, we'll just buy cheaper wine
And hang on to see if whether 
The constellations hold together or not

I never placed too much faith in the stars
I never placed too much faith in my heart
But the siren call in this chandelier city
And inch by inch we're breaking apart
As we're rising through the dark
From the sky I bet the lights look pretty

Floating empire, held up by fraying wire
I will cover you in winter like a blanket by the fire
And when the rent's too high, we'll just buy cheaper wine
Hang on to see if whether 
The constellations hold together or not

Or not
