This is the song that introduced me to the entire genre.
Oh nice!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️ welcome to the Synthwave family
and me
Same lol
I really wonder how many people have had the same experience, that’s me too!
When my twelve-year old daughter heard this for the first time she half-yelled” Dad, what IS this?! I don’t know why, but I love it!!” I know why... been playing 80’s music a lot. Peak parenthood 😀 Anyhow, an amazingly good song from a great band.
Awesome!! Sounds like your daughter has great taste already. ⚡️
My 8 yr old triplets love the Midnight too. My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing them Friday night. They’re phenomenal live.
@@sirtomslick That's great. I had two tickets (for me and my daughter) to their concert here in Sweden now in April. But unfortunately they cancelled... Darned...I wonder how many years we´ll have to wait to see them live.
This is one of the top 3 synthwave/retrowave songs I scared of listen to, because I'm afraid of the feelings prevail over me (other two are "FM-84 - Goodbye" and "Synthetic" by The Midnight also). But when I start to play I can't stop anymore. This song makes me feel nostalgic about my childhood and teenage years when I was too shy to do steps in my life in different topics such as love life, career (surely regarding studying), taking care of friendships, places where I can't go back anymore and things what I can't do anymore as an adult. What makes it bitter sweet is that I have a GREAT life now. There is nothing I can complain about. I have a great wife, super job and career, really good friends but sometimes I feel I have another life what never happened to me, what I stopped in the middle (or even before it really started). Sometimes I wish I could go back to the places of my childhood as a "ghost" just to see how the things going on without meeting with anybody. Just because I do not wanna talk to anybody, asking about how the things going on, which is cool, but I only want to take a deep dive into my feelings all alone.
I guess it sounds super weird and makes not too much sense without background information, I just wanted to let out my feeling on this "platform" like I never did before. :) I guess you know what I mean since you are in the same situation(s) if I understood your words well. Stay strong man! Life changes and it hurts sometimes, but it makes your soul rich.
Great videos anyways, you deserve much more attention!
wow Milan, thank you so much for sharing that insightful story. I can kinda understand what you mean. And yes, sometimes I wonder as well what would happen in life if things took a different path.I really like that last thing you said "Life changes and it hurts sometimes, but it makes your soul rich." I completely agree with that.
Hi Milan….this brought tears to my eyes….I know exactly where you are coming from….we can only wonder as we will never know 😌
Damn. I feel the same.
Makes perfect sense...
Dude, I teared up a bit reading and simultaneously listening to the song. This hit the heart. Cheers from La Puente Cali!😎👉👉
They close every concert with this ... really amazing song
Awe dang. That must be really awesome
@@JonathanBelle I saw them in Columbus, and it was magical. The venue lit up, the audience got excited, and started dancing like fools, and everyone sang along. It nearly brought tears to my eyes.
This song is iconic within the genre.
thats the truth !
There is only rarely a band from which I like almost all songs, unbelievable mood that comes up in you while listening to these songs!
thats the truth Dom
Same. I have that feeling with The Midnight and Gunship
Check out Conor Obersts' Bands', Bright Eyes & The Mystic Valley Band. Also, Hiraeth & The Rippingtons =] I'm Eclectic 🎵🎶
My girlfriend and I have decided this song will be our first dance. We aren’t even engaged yet! 😅
This song makes us so happy and makes us think of our future together and all of the amazing things we’ll get to experience.
I play this song after work sometimes. The Midnight really is special
They really are ⚡️
My favourite song of all time!
oh Snowdly approvesZ!
Whoever thought to pair this song with video footage from the movie Career Opportunities...Magical! I always go back to that video when I listen to this song.
Ahh I’ll have to check that one out !
Yes!..it is a good movie choice for the song..
All I can say is I became obsessed with this kind of music. Synthwave genre feeds my souls now. 💙
here here
This is a truly special song. It stirs so many emotions. One of my favorites by The Midnight. Never gotten tired of it. They ended their concert last year with this song and it was such a joyous, united moment.
oh dang Tim, that must have been so special indeed
@@JonathanBelle It really was. Everybody was singing along and The Midnight just sounded so good live. They're an incredible live band, as awesome as their studio recordings are. And their saxophone guy stole the show!
Your taste in music is irreproachable. Keep it up. You have impressed me with how willing you are to show you really bloody like it. Nov 19 The Midnight played Bristol. I went. I sang and danced my 44 yr old self to the limit. Best gig ever. 46 now and it's no the same world.
It’s so strange how this song makes you nostalgic for something that never even happened... like it almost makes me wish I had some exciting but desperate situation where I ran away with someone. The one line you quoted put a hook in my soul too and I’ve listened to this song a hundred times because of it lol
It really is strange!
And yeah I don’t blame yah.
If someone writes sunset 2, I think Jordyns just created lyrics for them!! 👌🏻👏🏻
And this is how you should listen to music
Another Midnight banger that riggers goosebumps right when it starts. Tastes so sweet it hurts a little...makes me think of how too much of anything, regardless of how good, can be too much. Moderation in all aspects of life. I feel you on the finding a place or a reason to put down roots. I'm scared to do that because it feels so definite...as if I'm stuck. Instead of enjoying the comfort in having roots, I get scared that I can't pick up and run when I want. Sorry for the ramble. Long story short, I feel you. ;)
Nah I don’t mind the ramble. I’m inviting the talking! Thanks for being the first one to answer the question too!
But yeah that’s pretty much how I feel. Like is definite.
The band ends concerts on "Sunset," and it's a thing of beauty, I tell you.
Seeing you enjoy the song and that the view in is what I love about the genre. With that said, I am blessed to live in Miami and taking a sunset or night time drive and listening to music is my most gulity pleaseure
Singing along with them last summer when they performed here... I’ll never forget that feeling as long as I live. “They say it’s darkest before the dawn. We’re moving on.” 🥺🖤
Also, that jacket is cooler than anything I’ve got in my wardrobe lol
dang, that must have been so awesome to see them iRL
why thank you, I found it at a thrift store and just had to buy it!
No song has given me more euphoric nostalgia than this one!!! Absolutely amazing feeling!!
I didn't know it was even possible to get me back to my youth..I'm speaking of the 80 years..
.
Criminally handsome. Appreciate the reaction! A great song.
You can't get better then this man
This man like let's listen to Sunset during a sunset. The irony is real! I always couple this song with Gloria for the ultimate morning wakeup call. Especially helps with the moments when I feel like I'm stuck in the middle. And my childhood was literally me moving around the country all the time, so this song is sour, but sweet as well. Another great outdoor reaction!
Ahh dang, I can understand that. I didnt move around the country a lot, but I did move around a lot.
Again man I got to say thank you for reacting to this genre. I really wish more people were introduced to this. I hear this song and It's like I am in a Stranger Things Episode. I flash back to my days playing DnD with friends. No cell phones, no parents holding an actual leash on their kid, people cruising down the highway instead of raging, and hanging out with friends on the weekends watching movies that have long been locked up by the PC police. This song could have been on the sound track to any number of 80's movies. I could see this in Risky Business, Vision Quest, or The Sure Thing. Now to answer your taste so sweet question. When I think of taste so sweet it hurts. I think of how sometimes you can eat or drink something that is extremely sweet and it makes your teeth hurt or gives you a little sting in the back of your throat but you keep at it because its soo good. So in the song I acquaint it to the companionship and the life the singer is living with their partner is so good its probably a bit toxic. To much of a good thing so to speak, so much so that their is even a small tinge of pain sometimes as a warning that their in way to deep. Even bad girls no good love, it taste so sweet it hurts a little. Then again I am as full of crap as anyone :)
Thank you for answering what it means to you. I can understand and see that point for sure. And who knows? maybe you hit the nail on the head?!
And yeah, these type of songs do invoke a feeling for simpler times
@@JonathanBelle Keep up the reactions bud, and thanks for responding to your fans.
When people ask me what my favourite genre of music is and I say Synthwave, they immediately look bemused.
Then I play them this and they add this genre of music to their list of favourites.
brings me back listening to Japanese's 90's anime songs, currently my favorite
My heart jumped, goosebumps, visions became pure art, the midnight just orchestrated a nostalgic hit ❤️
Speaking of orchestras, there's an orchestral version of the song with the original singer.
Born 97 never been to 80s but this sounds exactly like the future I dreamt of as a kid. Stay synthy guys.
Stay synthy ⚡️
Taste so sweet and Hurts a little is love and relationship.. The intricacies and complications of love and its joys and the freedom it brings
I like that articulation, thanks for that
I always enjoy your reactions/reviews man. It's like having a good friend to listen to music with. 💜✌️
The song Last train by the midnight introduced me to Synthwave, oh im so glad it did :)
Yesss this is where it all began roll on 29th March
Celle ci est toujours dans ma playlist 👌👍🇲🇫✌️❤️
Beautiful song and great video…thanks Jonathan 😊
Particularly loved your reaction on this one. The way you follow the song along. I can feel that you feel it.
This Song Pushed Me To The World Of Synthwave ❤️ I'm So Happy That I Entered Into The World Of Pleasure And Happiness. This Genre Is Really A Bliss. I was going through some videos couple of years back and suddenly this song popped up out of nowhere and I clicked it just bcuz the album cover was so good. And from that day I never stopped listening to Synthwave. And I'm really glad that I stumbled across your channel 🙏💙
Legendary song!So hard to beat!Great review 👍🙂!
Your videos serve such a great reminder to enjoy life through the best music, and rid yourself of worries. It's going to get better eventually.
truth, totally agree Julio
Brother how you summed up this song perfectly. Man you brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you
Banger
Midnight brings so much emotions and feelings. Their lyrics makes it even more memorable and meaningful.
Glad to see this! This is the song that introduced me to this band! They are playing early October in LA. I love this it’s my fave from them
Great Video dude love the 80s vibe.....
thank you very much !
That guitar solo is epic! Love your reactions mate👍
God I love this song!
I'm pretty sure the midnight sunset was my turning point I was playing a random station playlist 1 evening & at that time in my life I was so sad & kept thinking I didn't choose this life I don't deserve to be hurt by the 1 who's supposed to be my person for 16yrs
& music/books was my escape I've always loved 80s ,trance,euphoria, (lost boys soundtrack & film) & when the first part of sunset played I think my soul paid attention because if u can belive that's when I finally broke my own heart & wanted to be happy & the journey has been & still is the toughest decision but I'm 100% sure this song kicked it all off I'm going to see the midnight on the 29th March & im littarly bursting with excitement AHHHHHHHHHH eeeeeeekkkk
It's vibes are far out... I love the visions of this pure love. Just like the first time. When time slows down. Love is a hell of a drug.
That was amazing to me! Omg
Bro thank you for an amazing reaction, I felt it, it's sweet but sour at the same time.
Thank you so much for your videos, I love them playing in the background when I am coding!!!!!
Glad you like them!
Como adoro este tema, gracias a este tema conoci este hermoso genero.

Tanks😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗
ur killing it boss keep it up
It's a song that reminds me the feels that never got told to anyone..even now ..whenever I listen to this I used to look in sky(clouds) and see those memories from my eyes in the sky and it just feels great..that's how I live my past in the sweet evenings in hot summer..it's like a restart to me every day in life and it works..it fills me with positive and happiness and little bit of sadness at the same time..in total it is an another world of living to me..my own personal world 🌎and love your stuff ❤ God bless you with everything ❤
I like an articulation. Thank you for sharing how this song makes you feel.
‘Taste so sweet it hurts a little’ for me means that sometimes you can’t have what you want…. You may get a glimpse of the happiness you desire but you never quite get there…. Knowing what you could have had always hurts…… Love this band and your reactions…. We share the same passion brother ❤️
The song that started it all.
That's awesome it resonates with you.
Sunset was the song that got me into The Midnight and synthwave in general. I remember the day clearly; I had just started working from home, it was early in the pandemic during 2020, and my boss who is only 14 years older than me chatted me up and sent me the song saying how it's so 80s for something made in 2016.
From there, we both fell down the synthwave rabbit hole. Not only because the genre was good but also because, as kids who grew up exposed to 80s culture thanks to movies (he actually lived both 80s and 90s tho), it brought us back to a simpler, more colorful, and more hopeful decade that I never experienced but would jump at the chance to live in (or go back to in his case). It was our comfort when we were about to go crazy during quarantine, really. We kept ourselves sane by talking about what our 80s selves and lives would've been like if we really were kids/teenagers who were friends during that period. If I had to pick, I would say that's what "it tastes so sweet, it hurts a little" means for me.😊
Man I can't tell you how much I like your channel. I'm right there with you dude! If you get it you get it
thank you so much, I really appreciate that
one of the best ones!
aye for real
The first time I listened to this song I was just amazed, especially with the video. I replayed it many many times and went to listen to all their catalogue. The band really resonates with me. It was a big moment last November when I saw them live. Sunset, Days of thunder and Running in the night are the synthwave songs that really blew my mind, so glad I found these artists.
yeah those songs are really something else
I have to say that whenever I see your videos, they are like the perfect official "The Midnight" videos. Like this is the video to this song, starring Jonathan Belle. You sync up really good. This song is gorgeous and gives me a feeling of better days to come. Like a journey that has to be taken to get to those better days. But at the same time you are not alone.
Thank you very much! That is such a great compliment ! Thank you!!
Hola, se te ve una cara de melancolia y alegria a l vez, canciones que nos remontan al pasado de nuestra adolesencia.
go~The Midnight~love it ~
Thanks for watching !
This one sends me back to better days...
agreed
Synth is the way😎👍. Beautiful reaction. Subscribed👍
It really is! thanks for the Sub
presentation is very well put together brother!
Thank you!
Cool view ☺
Finally saw them a few months ago and it was one of the best show experiences I’ve ever had.
I bet!
I'm a fan now
The Lyrics for any newcomers....
I just feel like, I've been stuck here my whole life
There must be something else out there, waiting, you know?
Just for us
We could run away
Just leave, never look back
I don't even care where we go
Just far away from here
I'll come with you (one, two)
One, two, three, four
Faked our deaths
Lit a match
Closed the door
Waited for the flash
Greyhound Station, we paid in cash
Miss Lazarus, we're coming back
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We've been in this town for far too long
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on
Sunset, no regrets
First chance, last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little
Make our home, where we stand
One suitcase and half a plan
Follow the wolves and sing along
Past the voices to the song
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We've been in this town for far too long
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on
Sunsets, no regrets
First chance, last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little
Sunsets, no regrets
First chance, last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little
Sunsets, no regrets
First chance, last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little
Slam dunk again bro, keep it up! :)
Thank you!!
Ah I'm excited about music again.
Glad to hear it
I only recently (within the last 2 years) found this genre. And it it's literally EVERYTHING I've been missing. From The Midnight, to Gunship, To Timecop. TeslaBoy, Starcadian, Fury Weekend... I sincerely FEEL again with this music... Life has just become a constant Sh!t storm, but this music makes me realize that I'm not the only one. And your reactions have been the introduction to many new songs for me, for which, I can NOT than you enough. We've never met, but just know that your videos allowed me to see that I'm not alone. And because of that, I'm not going anywhere. Much love.
thank you very much for the kind words and for checking out the vids, I really appreciate it.
Just love The Midnight. Was on a concert with them 1,5 years ago and now its 6 month till i am going on a new one with them.
ayeeee its gonna be a good time
They are coming to Oslo Norway again so cant wait. Have you been to a concert with them @Jonathan Belle?
This song is the reason why I love the retro wave....pure nostalgia✊
truth !!
truth !!
I have heard this song like 2-3-4 years ago.
I know I am late here.
But i will just go what does "You taste so sweet it hurts a little" mean to me.
To me, it is that you got attached to a person or a bond or any living creature(Eh: Dog,etc.) that you depend your happiness on it and if you left them alone for some time it will hurt you or make ya feel lonely and when they are gone (dies or went other way, country or after a fight or something) it shatters your soul.
The meaning is like that to me.
In conclusion, it feels like it means that you have to get hurt to lose something that you are attached with or that gives ya happiness.
I am feeling this is one of the many explainations about this line because I don't want this to be the only explanation here for this line.
I wanna make it really valuable and deep.
I read you comments and feel like we're in the same boat. Nostalgia. New.. but brings me home. I'm 38. Holy wow, they just took it Listening to this as I type. First time. I'm digging deep in these guys now . Thank you . Future islands brought me to you. Also, I've Never watched someone listen. It's powerful. Thanks.
Thanks for giving some more videos a chance, I truly appreciate it.
Hey I know this might not be the best video to post this comment in but your taste in art is high. From the lighting to music to how you talk. All of it is great. Adds up to a futuristic 80's themes like the animes. Also, your clothes and how you move during the songs.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Don't worry. Everything makes sense in the end.
Ok now I want to go watch the sunset and listen to this track.
That would be lovely
trust me, try this. Drive on an open highway with the sunset and then listen to the track. It is a sensation you will never get over
To me that is a state of hapinness, the song about.
Ahh I can see your point
You look cool as hell in this video my man. Just wanted to let you know that. Keep doing your thing, I'm here for it.
Thank Bill! I appreciate that very much
Can I just say that is a sweet jacket you have there! Oh and good music choice too. 😄
thank you very much!!
Great song reaction..
Thanks Jason!
@@JonathanBelle that was an awesome setting to it as well..what city is that ?..
The midnight is awesome. Sunset is the entire in synthwave
The day time travel is possible im heading back to the 80s and im never returning. Miss that era. No millenials, no tik tok, no mobile phones, no ps4, no social media. Playing in the streets til the streetlights came on. Hanging out with friends riding bikes skateboarding to where we needed to go. Talking for hours on the landline phone to a girl you had a crush on. Take me back!!!
Collateral was the song that introduced me to The Midnight. Sunset was the song that immersed me in The Midnight! I couldn’t wait to get home later that day to buy their entire back catalogue. For me, this is their Signature track.
I'm glad it Resonates With you Cameron
My summer highway cruise song.
Ayeee
This song is one of greatest songs for me) and I like to hear it and watch that clip with Jennifer Connelly - it’s about youth and Beaty for me, and about youth dreams
Ahhh that’s a good way to see it
I gotta click 240p for that 80s Stock Footage Feel. 144p for the Home Video Version!
Jonathan actually i don't know what to do with my life right now but your videos keep me going thx
Youre welcome BD, thanks for watching. I hope you find your answer soon
Great reaction! Another song with similarities to this one is "Who You Run To" by The Bad Dreamers. I haven't seen a video of you reacting to them so maybe you could do that soon please?
thank you! Yes I will do one !
