NewRetroWave yeeeeeeeaaaaaa :)
They've already taken over! I went to the ad show with fm84 ams the midnight. More energy than most Concerts. Sold the Fuck out
NewRetroWave, heard the ambient sample of the in the air tonight drums then two epic fills from that gorgeous Phil Collins song. Love this modern retro wave!
Is this from an album?
Hi. Crystalline is the first single taken from the upcoming 'Nacturnal' EP that will be released on October 13!. :)
I remember driving alone at night when I first heard this song. It was nearly 11pm, I was driving alone down a mountain pass in the middle of nowhere. I had put the midnight on shuffle to stay awake. I hadn't even seen another car in nearly 30 minutes. I had just cleared the summit when the saxophone riff hit, shivers literally went down my spine. It was one of the most incredible musical moments I've ever experienced. Driving at night to this stuff really does do something to your mind.
You're so lucky lol. I hope I can experience that too someday!
It almost makes you feel like your in an 80s movie, on the run, and your driving at night
I've experienced something really similar. I was driving back home on a light rainy night, it was like 3-4 am. I remember forming those reflective lights paths on a brand new road, hearing this song very loud for the first time to keep me awake. Reading your experience made me smile, someone understand the feeling i had that night.
Bro reading your comment sent a shiver down my spine
That "In The Air Tonight" drum solo followed by that epic sax break just hits hard AF.
This is the absolute zenith of late night cruising music.
Also the apex.
cruzn in my 80's bmw is what it is!!
@@ErnieHernandezdesigner Nah man, crusin in my 91 Honda CRX
84 Buick Riviera
Fckn 💯 %
I've been late night driving this track for months and it's still hauntingly perfect.
THAT GUITAR RIFF!!! THE PHIL COLLINS' IN THE AIR TONIGHT DRUM LIKE SOLO!!! THE LYRICS!! THIS SONG IS MY NEW FAVORITE SONG!!
This has to be the best the midnight song. It's just perfection
@@quantumsodapopthey have many, but this stands out for sure
I pity the people who are missing out on this genre
Yes I am surprised that here in the UK the major radio stations don't yet run a New Retro Wave Show in their schedules. It would help to sell the music too.
there's no such thing as mainstream or underground, there's only good or bad music. the ear doesn't discriminate so don't restrict your taste to what you 'allow' yourself to like and what not. nice song btw
alias music Mainstream music must appeal to a lot of people, therefore it can't go too much in a certain direction. there is less experimentation and less decisions from the musician himself. For a lot of people to like it, it needs to be "dumbed down", and follow a certain trend that is hot at that moment. So there is a BIG difference between mainstream and "underground" music, the latter being free from such things, and being more unique because of it
Keep the numpties away.
SkiFi Sk Music I am with you player...been listening for years and enjoy knowing the other mainstreamer losers are not on my Lv.!!
greatest synthwave track ever made IMHO
I went into a local record store last week and they were blasting The Midnight. Couldn't believe it.
That record store knows good music
I am surprised you didn’t call them racist for not showing black peoples in this video
Sally Vee you mad ?
Sally Vee oh look at you with big words, such a super star
Sally Vee ya they do, what other words are in you’re Mongoloid vocabulary ?
For someone that’s not mad you sure are making a lot of replies
2:21 jeSUS CHRIST MAN. I WAS NOT READY. MY BODY IS IN SPACE.
🤣🤣🤣
The best part about discovering songs like these is the slow build up. Nothing would have made me ready for that sax man. The music just hits you!
I’m high and crying it’s too real rn
Same here
Underrated
A synth and a sax...ALWAYS perfect together!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if he knew how to more smoothly integrate them and didn’t recycle sax segments, they’d have more impact. Not that you expect too much from him.
Yes it is brother 🔥
This is just toooooo good
yooooo derekkkk
That drum roll at 2:24 is very Phil Collins!!!!!! I'm convinced The Midnight is incapable of making bad music!!!!!!!
Then the sax comes in after it, breathtaking.
Hay that's part of the plan, just when you start thinking of the bald Collins, the fierce sax comes roaring from behind. Now that's a blitzkrieg right there my friend
Aproved
It's not a drum roll Lul
thank you sir, for giving me dat chills again :D
Rush hour
On an uptown train
Doors open
As she walks in
She’s soaking
Caught in the rain
Her skin shines
Crystalline
Eyes meet
You know where this goes
Her keys in
They take off their clothes
They’re soaking
Caught in a dream
Her skin shines like
Crystalline
The problem with believers
They’ll let anyone in the door
The problem with deceivers
Is all the bodies buried under the floor boards
Sailors knew sirens would sing
From rocks off the cliffs by the sea
The monsters with waiting teeth
Their skin shines
Crystalline
Rush hour
On an uptown train
Doors open
As she walks in
She’s soaking
Caught in the rain
Her skin shines
Crystalline
Thank you, kind sir
Fun fact - I got banned from using that name on Xbox Live
@@Solunaris ugh, what a dumb and petty reason to ban someone.
@@Solunaris
Should've gone with Sloth.
I cannot stop listening to this song... someone send help
I just keep coming back here. This tune is absolutely rocking. And that Saxophone...man, pump it into my 80's veins!
A fellow The Midnight and Metroid enjoyer salutes you back Clocked, love your vids 👍 keep up the great work!
That sax! That guitar! My goodness its so amazing to see these bands and individuals evolve with their music!
singe241 OH MY GOD YES
I'm not sophisticated to appreciate all the nuance and technical skill of synthwave, but I can determine that The Midnight is the most accessible of all the bands I've heard. As well as the strongest sense of melody and song structure. Their genius is that they make their craft seem effortless when it's anything but. The only thing about them that is simple or effortless is how easy it is to love them
And see, this is why I get a little mad when people hate on the simple things. Sometimes, Simplicity is all you need to give that major oomph. Synth Beats, Drums, and a Sax (with the occasional guitar here and there), and boom, you create magic
It’s actually a fairly sophisticated song, but like all good synth music, the complexity is in the layering and coloring and not the individual components.
You say “accessible” like we WANT normies to come in and ruin the genre.
@@bigsyrup8567 Oh man, that's true. I guess I wasn't the only one that hated things becoming popular because of the normies. Whenever something becomes saturated, in my opinion, it loses all of its magic. People are prone to misunderstanding more. This is why I'm more than happy that I enjoy this while the other people can go and try to find "good" music within what is mainstream. To that, I say good luck with that, 'cause you'll need it.
My all time favorite Midnight song.
GTA 6 needs NRW FM.
Yes!!!!!
Better yet, Cyberpunk 2077 needs different radio stations featuring different synthwave sub-genres!
@@SSPspaz man....I hope that game is as good as it looks. But yeah, that would make the game absolutely legendary to include a soundtrack from the midnight.
@@Mike-ks6qu, if it's even half as good as it looks, I'll be extremely happy. And if they can make the soundtrack a massive mix-tape from a bunch of the top synthwave artists, it'll be legendary! If there's anyone who can pull it off, it's CDPR. I've heard separate rumors from both Mitch Murder and from Perturbator that they are working on video game soundtracks, so who knows!
As there is Self Radio in GTA 5 - I've filled it with NRW :3
See this is what a lot of synthwave is missing -- actual songwriting skills. Getting the vibe right is one thing... keeping you addicted like a junkie for 6 minutes is a whole 'nother matter!
Truth
Nah
@@Ader1 Nah
Bro you killed this comment!! 🔥🔥 #LateSquad haha
Have you heard of Kristine?Some of the songs sounds like it comes straight from the 80's radio.The vibe,lyrics,vocals...I bet some ppl wouldn't even notice that it is from a new artist
The sax work in this and Vampires are why The Midnight are head and shoulders above the rest. 💯
They truly are the apex. I hope the new album has a new sax masterpiece but I'm a bit worried it won't if they're going with a more hard rock motif. Monsters didn't have one where the sax was centerpiece although I do love the part where it comes in at the end of Dance with Somebody. I do like a lot of theirs that don't have sax, but it is without a doubt indispensable. Brooklyn is one of my favorite for the lyrics. One of the saddest songs I can name.
You mean the rather middling reused samples? Dang, doesn’t take much to impress these days. Must be all the new kids discovering Retrowave/Synthwave tunes fresh off the boat.
What a tune
30h loot vid of The Midnight when?
Fancy seeing you here MrNoSleep. Just found this gem!
I love you
ikr
Tuuuuuune
GAAAADDDDAMNN that sudden saxophone solo after those Phil Collin drums
Racealistic -bass drop- sax drop
Racealistic Yes, mate!!! Sounds like the drums in "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. 🙋🙌
@@emm_syd_music i’m pretty sure they used the same program for the opening drums as “in the air tonight,” just a different tempo
The two sax solos take me to another plane of existence. lol
I've been listening to this song everyday on repeat for a month straight. How in the actual hell does some thing this perfect exist in the music world? Crazy incredible.
You too huh! I was just introduced to this band and can't get enough of them
@@c.george7451 congrats on your life improvement 😃
The Midnight are literally putting every other synth wave artist to shame right now. Synthwave needs vocals, sax, guitar, keyboard and melodies come on guys where you at?
Fully agree.
In fairness, FM84 run a very close second, and their instrumentals are among the best I've heard.
@@Emsland1993 And Myrone (got me back into the genre) and LeBrock! :)
@Zerebrat Eightyseven Is that a subtle pun?
Not every, there is always Nox and LukHash
Fact: *Everything* is improved with a sax.

Citation added anyway: Baker street.
Second citation added anyway: Smooth Operator
Third citation: "Midnight City" by M83
C i t a t i o n n e e d e d - T o m S c o t t . !
AlexorPwnsAll yeah, everything is improved with a sax. Even sex 🤤
This is ridiculously gorgeous.
🐉 I think that people generally seem to think that we compete with each other more than we do, and I like to come back to this song. This is the first song I heard by The Midnight. We're free to leave the country the whole time and just throw everything people think out the window. Human rights. Hey, this song is full of those! "Eyes meet, we know where this goes~” ♪ 👏🏻👏🏻 ✏️
I'm an 80's kid and I time traveled, perfect!
I don't know if these guys are old enough to remember the 80's, but they've nailed the sound! Keep up the great work.
Once again The Midnight knocks out the park. Music like this is the reason I fell in love with this genre of music. This song just makes me happy
I love it too
Ian Cooper type of genre?
I kind of get an opposite, melancholy vibe. Maybe its just me, though.
Ian Cooper AssSmsMmsAisTrue
Do people realize how good this song is? My goodness
for years now i've listening to this masterpiece ..and i'm still so excited on how good this tune is!
I played this with my girlfriend in my bed and she started crying. I asked her why was she crying and she looked in my eyes and said that she was happy. This song will forever be special to me thank you!
I didn't know hands could cry. :p
Bassem Boustany lmao
Rekt.
@@bassemb I am crying... lol
And then you smashed right? Ladies can’t resist saxophone of this magnitude.
Best 80s synthwave ive ever heard
It wasn't until Midnight that I learned to appreciate (and subsequently miss) the sax in modern music.
Same!
Was walking in snow full week.
Sun was shining, clear blue sky and the snow was sparkling like diamonds.
This song to accompany.
Maaaan I am soooo late to The Midnight train. Better late than never! I can’t stop listening to this band. I can see the music in my mind. Every cell in my body glows blue, purple, and pink. What a sound…
Congrats on your life improvement 😁
Welcome on board, Sir.
This is one of the best synthwave tracks of the year
Good god. This track was so awesome it nearly brought me to tears. The mood, the clarity, the sound stage, the depth. That bass. And the atmosphere. Wow. Just truly a remarkable song. This... this is what I live for. Thank you The Midnight and NewRetroWave!
nocturnal: the instrumentals is the album
This is literally the best song I've ever heard.
This is literally the best song 😆
The Midnigth is the best of Synthwave
And Michael Oakley
I agree!!!
Hard to determine what is "best" when so many artists in this genre are amazing in their own right.
Mmmm... nope. The Midnight are truly the best. :p
I agree it's subjective, but IMHO, while others merely catch the sound, they catch the sound AND emotion. FM-84 is also up there.
They are the Best for me, all the others artist are good and i love all, but The Midnigth mix the feel and sound of Synthwave with the sound quality of modern era!
PLAY FOREVER MR SAXMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS is real music. Pure emotions!
This music is so beautiful... Don't know why masterpieces like this don't sound nowadays... Some people are so lucky to have lived the 80's ;(
This song is what my life needs right at this moment.
Loop ✓
Same
"See's that a new Midnight vid is out" straight into my synthwave playlist
Every song they've done was amazing ... I'm an 80's baby but it brings me back to a time when my mother used to play this genre in the house and car as a child.
How could she play a genre that didn't exist yet?
...and im back in the 80's. love it
HOLY SHIT! THAT SAX IS WAY TOO FUCKING INTENSE!
Imagine if this was released in the 80's!
Another perfect song. What makes the Midnight so amazing is this could easily be inserted into any sexy 80s scene or montage without anyone noticing it was from 2017. Absolutely killer.
I've listened to this for 3 hours now, I'm still loving it
I'm going on two days!
The Midnight makes me love the sax
That sexy sax is RIDICULOUS!
Cavebob Spongeman man you read my mind I can't get that sax sound of my head !
saxy*
SwordBreaker925 😆 good one !
who needs sex with that sax, right? Orgsmic
Han Solo, you should start playing saxophone and change your name to Han Saxosolo!
I'll never stop loving the saxamaphooone
Midnight meditation behind mini-blinds. Tension builds. The sax marks the decisive moment. You shed a silent tear. An ice cube makes a ringing sound against the crystal glass. You quickly swallow the rest of your Bacardi and coke. This opens the night. Time to move on.
I hate that I can't like this more than once
How can you make such fantastic music and not being played on radio stations all the time? This is literally a perfect 10 of a song!
Temazoooo!, vine por Dess🐺
This should be topping the pop charts, not the tripe that passes for 'pop music' these days.
True that. Maybe next year or so.
I agree with you👍
I'm 47 but I think I'll be getting back to discos if they played these tunes.
I hope not. This genre is a gem and I don’t want it to be over saturated with garbage.
OK boomer
Some Phil Collins inspiration in there!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT.
"Inspiration" yeah.. sure
this is soooo good. when the sax came in was perfect.
Stunning! That sax just wakes all my senses
Bought the track a few hours ago and its been on repeat ever since. It's so good I love the vibes!
Nerdypatty Agreed! I bought it and can't stop listening to it.
Maximum saxiness
The doors shut behind her.
The train begins to move.
He offers her his seat.
She sits, glistening, breathless.
Stations pass. His arrives.
He lets it go.
"What's your name?"
She laughs gently. What could it hurt?
"You first."
He smiles down at her.
"Jason."
Love it!
what a sexy sax, what a tune, what emotions are there, all of that..makes me crying..so beautifull..no words...
I got a fever... and the only cure is more saxophone.
Im so glad I found NEW RETRO WAVE music, its nice to hear music that has soul and art back in it. Its been a long time since I could get lost in music, and this is one of the best so far.
The midnight never dissapoint
One of the best band I discovered in these last months!!
My face entered permasmile at the guitar solo. Thanks a lot Tim.
That fast Synthy riff that's playing in the background the entire time sounds exactly like the one from "Pink Mist" by Gunship
This song has been on repeat and I still can't get enough of it!
Nocturnal is one hell of an album.
I have yet to meet anyone in my beautiful city of Los Angeles who appreciates this music as much as I do.
Very good
This is a little different from normal synthwave and I love it
Auuuuuuuuuu🐺🐺
That sax melody floored me when I first heard it. Wow.
For me, this is their magnum opus. This whole album is just great.
The depth of this song is astonishing and to capture the emotions of such sharing is beyond words. I love this song!
Very nice
The problem with believers letting anyone in the door. The problem with deceivers someone's always buried under the floorboards.
Q’anon
Good grief, The Midnight are genuine masters of their craft. This is phenomenal.
Wow! I've just been teleported back over 35 years. The memories hit me hard. Thank you.
Hints of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight"... KEEP IT UP!
I just came to say if they were gonna give Phill Collins credit for that lol!
I also hear hints of Genesis' "Me And Sarah Jane" in the drum machine sound on this one!
This is the greatest song I never grew up with. Exceptional. I can't wait for summer to cruise with the windows down and share this magnificence with the rest of the world.
Beginning sounds like "In the air tonight", percussion wise.
It certainly is sampled from that
Agreed, first thing I noticed as well.
sounds like every episode of Miami Vice
And the background arpeggiator sequence sounds like "Love on a real train" by Tangerine Dream.
Hiyoooo when it's time to steal, steal from the best :D
this seriously has to be one of the best songs I've ever heard. That Phil Collins sounding breakdown into that Epix Sax was amazing!!!!
I just discovered these guys and this song and coming from a metal background as I do I just can’t get enough of this song and their art it’s just so well put together like it was meant to be and they were the vessels from which it poured into the world 😊😊😊
This track deserve to be more popular.
Saxophone sounds like Glen Frey-You Belong to the City back from the dead . . . 🎷 🎷 🎷 🎶 🎶 🎶
This is what I call good music
Excellent masterpiece. This song did make me feel alive again.
This song has such a crystalline sound touch to it!
I’m back in time!!!!
Fantastic song, fantastic group!!!
God bless the 80’
Flawless track, the Phil Collins-esque percussion, those synth's, the guitars, the sax, this is why Synthwave is like no other genre, what a feeling, incredible
The older stuff from The Midnight is truly gold .
I'm amazed at 2:21
Isaac Cedeno gives a certain Miami Vice feel at first.
Thats straight up Phil Collins In The Air Tonight drum solo
well said, my friend
Isaac Cedeno me too Isaac me too !
80sKnight I know right.
