Midnight
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goes the sun when it blows its top
Gonna come and light up the night,
Cause the midnight sun is here tonight
We're gonna make it rain
The daylight's gonna shower down on us
Its gonna be insane
Cause we got a little star, the dawn is gonna come right now
Gonna have some fun, gonna have a ton, with the midnight sun
Gonna give me light, gonna burn the sky, with the sun tonight
Gonna have some fun, gonna have a ton, with the midnight sun
Explosions in the sky,
Gonna blaze the night for what just seems like
Forever burning night
Lighting up the sky its endless
Cause its the night, gonna give me light, gonna burn the sky, with the sun tonight
Gonna have some fun, gonna have a ton, with the midnight sun
Gonna give me light, gonna burn the sky, with the sun tonight
Gonna have some fun, gonna have a ton, with the midnight sun

Above & Beyond, we can't thank you enough for inviting The Midnight to the show, not to mention giving an unorthodox genre (synthwave) an opportunity to be heard by a wider audience. To everyone who listened yesterday with us on A&B's YouTube live chat: thanks for the love you bestowed upon Tim & Tyler's music.
Joe Toombs
Synthwave finally gets some well deserved recognition! Great guest mix!

As a major The Midnight fan, I just about jumped out of my chair. I recently bought all their music for a roadtrip to Rome and back, and had an amazing time listening to great tunes as I cruised down German and Italian highways. So as a longtime listener to ABGT and TATW before that, probably going on ten years now, this may be my favourite episode ever :D
Andre Guignard
So much love for both labels and and artists.
