“Midnight Blue”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Am] Looking out to the [G] city in lights,
[C] Wondering where you [Em] might be tonight,
[Am] Lost in the crowd, or [G] dancing alone,
[C] In our city of [Em] midnight blue.

(Chorus)
[Am] Midnight blue, [G]
[C] That’s where I found [Em] you,
[Am] Under the stars and [G] city lights,
[C] Lost in the rhythm of [Em] the night.

(Verse 2)
[Am] Walking these streets, [G] painted in dreams,
[C] Hoping to find you [Em] in between,
[Am] The laughter and tears, [G] the truth and the lies,
[C] In our city of [Em] midnight blue.

(Chorus)
[Am] Midnight blue, [G]
[C] That’s where I lost [Em] you,
[Am] Under the stars and [G] city lights,
[C] Lost in the echoes of [Em] the night.

(Bridge)
[Am] Oh, midnight blue, [G]
[C] You’re etched in every [Em] hue,
[Am] In every memory, [G] in every tune,
[C] You’re my city of [Em] midnight blue.

(Chorus)
[Am] Midnight blue, [G]
[C] That’s where I’ll find [Em] you,
[Am] Under the stars and [G] city lights,
[C] Lost in the rhythm of [Em] the night.

Their lyrics are profound, speaking directly to the heart and the soul. The fusion of alternative rock and indie folk in their music is something that I haven’t found in any other band. They’ve created a sonic universe that’s raw, real, and incredibly comforting. ‘Midnight Blue’, in particular, has helped me through many sleepless nights. I’m eternally grateful to them for their music.”
