1.) A metal band from Cl… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band with this name:
1.) A metal band from Cleveland, OH that formed in 2003. Originally started as a one man project of Jamie Walters (uses the moniker Athenar), though since then Bob Zeiger (uses the moniker Count Zigar) has joined on drums. As of 2012, Shaun Venek has became the guitarist for live shows but not an official member. Their sound is a combination of speed metal, punk and black metal and can be described as a mixture of Motörhead, Venom, early Discharge and early Bathory. Many label the band as black n roll.
2.) Midnight (Born John Patrick Jr. McDonald April 29, 1962 - July 8, 2009) was an American musician mostly known for being the vocalist of Crimson Glory. Midnight joined Crimson Glory in the early 1980’s, in 1986 their debut album was issued by Roadrunner Records. It took the newcomers only a couple of years to surpass their debut with an astounding sophomore effort, 1988’s Transcendence, a joint release on MCA/Roadrunner. In 1991 they signed to Atlantic Records and released Strange & Beautiful, an album which showed a commercial switch in the band’s sound. Not long after the latest release, Midnight left the band, leading to Crimson Glory’s eventual demise. The other members dispersed and became involved with various other acts. All the while, Midnight remained out of sight. Midnight, however, reappeared a few years later with a low-budget EP, which explored a more acoustic direction (only 500 copies were made). Once again, Midnight vanished and in late 2004 it was announced that he had joined forces with Black Lotus Records to release his full-length debut solo album - Sakada.
After the release of “Sakada” Midnight joined forces with a group of musicians including Matt LaPorte (RIP) who also played the ex-Savatage frontman´s band Jon Oliva’s Pain, and recorded, in addition to the “All Souls Midnight” disc, material for a covers disc and a 3-cd box of original songs, which remains unreleased.
On July 8, 2009, Midnight died of stomach aneurysm at the age of 47.
3.) An r&b singer from Rochester, New York.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
he's always on your mind look what it's done to you
scream i know you want to scream
you wish it was a dream but morning never comes
so let me introduce you to a close friend that i hope you never meet
how do you do? who did you screw?
was it your best friend? was it just like me head?
what's my name? my name is pain pain
my name's pain
the uninvited guest's come to stay
i will leave the suitcase here beside the door
i know you're scared so let me tell you more
she sleeps till noon
she drinks all day never leaves her room
well you can leave the t.v. on and close the door
she'll cry herself to sleep in a corner on the floor
pain
so call me insane but you're to blame
i smell your sex and fear hey you come over here
what's my name? my name is pain pain pain
how would you like to pull the strings?
my expanse of pain
like diamond rings
for things with wings and fly away
what do you say?
pain pain pain
and if i held you in my arms would you feel my arms at all?
and if i walked you through my garden would the sadness turn you on?
pain pain pain
pictures running through my mind
he's always on your mind look what it's done to you
The lyrics of Midnight's "Pain" talks about the aftermath of a breakup or relationship gone sour. The singer of the song is consumed by thoughts of the person who has hurt them, and is tortured by the memories of what happened. The line "pictures running through your mind, he's always on your mind, look what it's done to you" describes the mental anguish that comes with being unable to forget someone who has caused so much pain.
The song suggests that the singer is not simply feeling heartbreak, but is also being haunted by a malevolent force that the artist personifies as "pain." The line "my name is pain pain, the uninvited guest's come to stay" demonstrates that the artist sees the pang of sorrow as a physical entity that has taken up residence in the mind and heart of their protagonist. This pain is depicted as a malevolent figure who is always present, always threatening to strike.

Listening to this song is so nostalgic.
My boyfriend and I started dating when we were 17. I moved out of our country after graduating from college. He did the same. We tried our best to keep the relationship even though we are miles apart.
It was hard to keep a relationship where you are both trying to figure out what you want to do with your life as young adults, experiencing life on your own for the first time and seeing how big the world is. We broke up for 2yrs.
Fast forward 2022, we are now both 27yrs old. We are now engaged and about the get married next year.
Thank you Taylor for bringing back some core memories. I guess I am one of the lucky few people on earth who is still be able to get marry their first love after life happens.

Lyrics
Rain, he wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
My town was a wasteland
Full of cages, full of fences
Pageant queens and big pretenders
But for some, it was paradise
My boy was a montage
A slow-motion, love potion
Jumping off things in the ocean
I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
He was sunshine, I was midnight rain
He wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
It came like a postcard
Picture perfect, shiny family
Holiday, peppermint candy
But for him it's every day
So I peered through a window
A deep portal, time travel
All the love we unravel
And the life I gave away
'Cause he was sunshine
I was midnight rain
He wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed
Like midnight
Rain, he wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed
Like midnight
I guess sometimes we all get
Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
And he never thinks of me
Except when I'm on TV
I guess sometimes we all get
Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
And I never think of him
Except on midnights like this (midnights like this)

I feel like she always has at least one song that is so new and so creative musically. It’s always fun to see what she comes up with.

“He was sunshine, I was midnight rain, he wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain, he wanted a bride, I was making my own name” THIS PART HITS DEEP
@realdavidjones1623
That isn't deep in any way shape or form lmao. He was light hearted, she wasn't and wanted to be independent. Straightforward. Stop being so white 🙄
