The Midnight - America Online (Official Audio) 

This picture of this old PC hit me very strongly. Watching this song's video, I remembered my childhood. My dad left our family and we had very little money. My mother was writing her PhD thesis. From the university she brought home, written-down old PC, just like this, and used it to write thesis. During my allowed time, I used to play old games on it, like Settlers. That PC was not able to run newer games, but it was just perfect for me. And after we connected to the internet (year 2000), I found mIRC messaging service, where I found many people of my mindset, and this beautiful girl. I was chatting with my distant girlfriend during the nights, we phoned each other, and spent hours together... but we never met in reality... I remember, sending pictures was a bit difficult, because I had to take a picture of myself, using film camera, bring it to the shop to develop a photo, then scan it at my friend's house, and send it through email. I find this beautiful music and pictures hitting me so strong on my nostalgia of simpler, better times. Now I am afraid to check my phone's notifications of all those overwhelming clients and job related stuff.

Synthwave has literally changed my life... and The Midnight are at the forefront.

Perfect song to hear at 3:00 AM while thinking about your life and stuff.

I would like to meet people who listen to this kind of music, you have to be people who feel nostalgia for those times and run away from all the shit that is arising now. I hope that one day I will meet with at least one such person. Greetings from Poland ⚪🔴 !

The Midnight lovers...assemble!

I was born in 1997 but i have a damn nostalgic feel for the 80s and 90s. I wanna go back in a time with cool music, cool cars, cool lifestyle without mobile phones and social media of today

I have not shed a single tear in over ten years. After hearing this track that changed tonight. I have never wanted to hop in a time machine more than now, if only for one moment, to relive the time when my family sat in front of our Compaq Presario PC and heard the dial up tone for the first time. Oh to see my mother's face again. What a glorious time to be alive. Thank you for this amazing track!

Someone else replied with this, but for anyone who didn't catch it, Tuesday August 6 1991 (in the lower left corner of the clip screen) was the date the modern internet basically began, with the launch of the www service and the publishing of the first website meant to be accessible to everyone, everywhere.

This music was made for night driving. It‘s like a switch to a different world.

August 6th 1991, my eleventh birthday!!!! For my fortieth birthday, I'm going to see The Midnight on tour! Time just goes by so very quickly. Enjoy every second of it, kids!

The feeling of utter disconnect from each other caused by the internet is perhaps more relevant than ever in our current times.

1. Midnight kids don’t lie 2. We stay together in bad situations 3. We have hope for each other 4. We have fun no matter what 5. We will always fight for one another

FYI, the first website ever launched went live on August 6, 1991.

Its impossible for this band to make crappy or non-hit songs.. these guys are ALWAYS making hit songs.. every damn track is perfect! The Midnight is by far the best band I 've heard the last 20 years!

My god. Synthwave has really captured my heart over the past year. I like to smoke at night, turn on tunes like this, and do a little Wim Hoff breathing. Puts me in another world that's truly incredible

I’m 40 and I don’t know why but this is the greatest track of all time.

The California aesthetic in the photo is giving me so much nostalgia of being in a house in palisades for a few years in the very early 2000's. which for those who don't know, the setting of this photo *is in palisades!* and the artist is aaroncampbell.

Nobody bottles nostalgia like The Midnight. The lyrics, the chords, the artwork, the zeitgeist! I cannot wait to time travel with you in Pittsburgh.

the positive energy in this comment section makes the music even better

I've listened to every album released by The Midnight, and had to buy this one on vinyl. Out of all their songs, I keep coming back to this one. It might be my absolute favorite song of all time, even. The Midnight will be in San Francisco for New Years Eve this year, and I really want to go, but I don't have anyone to go with. I also missed them when they toured with FM-84, one of the biggest regrets of my life. I won't be there to see the NYE show, but I'll be listening to their music and imagining I'm there with the friends I wish I had. Love this group so much.

I see we've moved up to the 90's now! Time for A E S T H E T I C S

is it me or everyone else has fallen in love of the view outside the window? just seeing that image and listening to the song makes me to place where my perfect utopia resides.....

I was born in '78...sooo yeeeaaah,this hits the nail on the head

Ahhhh, 1991 when I still had my parents ❤️

If I love you, will you love me? If I want you, will you want me? I’m reaching, are you reaching out? If I touch you, will you touch me now? Through the wires to the heart Phantom fingers fumble in the dark I thought I did; I felt a spark Are we all one beating heart? If I love you will you love me? If I hurt you will you hurt me? I’m reaching, are you reaching out? If I touch you, will you touch me now? Through the wires to the heart Phantom fingers fumble in the dark I thought I did; I felt a spark Are we all one beating heart? Or are we strangers? Am I a stranger?

this feels nostalgic and futuristic at the same time.

This song made me miss 90s and I haven't lived there

These lyrics are so simple but have so much impact and it literally makes me ache with such a sweet sadness every time I listen. In fact, most of The Midnight ‘s songs do this and it really helps me process my memories and feelings in my life so far. Somehow this melancholy sound, these words help me keep the good times and memories close and reminds me why life is worth living. Thank you for your beautiful, healing music Tyler and Tim. 🖤✨

You guys saved my life. Keep up the amazing music, I’ll see you in Orlando

This Music has helped me so much. I am currently in tears rn. I am in school at this point in time and my girlfriend just told me she is going to leave for New Zealand in one weeks time. This song helped me release my emotions. Thank you, for everything the midnight. You have helped me through the darkest moments in my life.

So glad synthwave is still burning Bright, been listening to it for nearly 6 years now

If anyone listens to this song while doing work, much respect! I miss the 80s, 90s but we have great artists like the midnight now. All we can try to tell ourselves is... Onwards and Upwards! Just do the best you can and try to move forward. Sure, we will never live in the 80's again but we can try to remember the ideals before social media... and just try to do better! Remember the time when friends who cared used to call their friends to just say HI, how are you? No agenda.

When the beat kicks in.... absolute HEAVEN

love the pan flutes nice touch

This track goes hard to nostalgia town. Vibes transcendent from another time.

Watching/listening this to 144p is even more 80's.

I can't express how this music hits me, 10/10

so many great songs to choose from but this by far my favorite from the midnight

Driving with this song through Manhattan in my friends convertible at night is the most amazing feeling I’ve had in a long time. It has taken all my work stress away

The lyrics are so simple, yet so humanizing. The distortion is perfect, as though reflecting the mask that we all wear when going through the feeling of love. The song might refer to the entire community, but for me it's all about you. After having given all in, to become human and wanting to be loved, despite the experiences that have shaped us and that tell us that we are ultimately all alone. Are we all one beating heart? That's the only thing I want to feel with you. One beating heart. No phase difference. As if we were made for each other. Or am I the stranger that's just meant to teach some and learn some and move forward in case we are unable to become one beating heart?

This song is amazing, and it gets me so hyped for the new album!

While I was listening to this song I finally got the courage to talk to this guy who lives by me that I see during my walk sometimes. :)

I FREAKING ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!! I'm 48,I grew up 80's and I can promise you,music this good was rare even then and had these guys been around then they would be considered legends today!

I really miss the 90s sometimes, when I was just a kid without a single worry or care in the world. No smart phones, no tablets, no social media, no work related stress, no drama, no bills to pay. Just life. The only thing that mattered, was "How long can I stay outside with my friends before I gotta go to bed?" I could sit here, listen to this song on repeat, and stare at this image for hours, and lose myself in all the memories, but life happens way too fast for that nowadays. Screw it. Just five more minutes...

Великолепное творение, господа и дамы! Спешите услышать!!! Тайлер и Тим, всех благ и сил вам творить это волшебство бесконечно!

First thing I saw this morning when I woke up was this track on Bandcamp. A fine way to start off my birthday. See you Saturday, guys!

And the award for the song that evokes the highest level of nostalgia goes to...

Amazing how they transformed from 80s synthwave to 90s music. Pure magic, Love you Guys

I'm born in 6 August 1991 😁 Thanks for beautiful track ❤️

I see in the back. Your music make nostalgia. Time run. Feelings in the now

I was 6 in 91. The early 90’s was one of the happiest times of my life.... everything went to shit around 98 and beyond

When the 80's ended, we witnessed the birth of the Internet.

Some people may not know just how nostalgic this composition really is. These are indeed true musicians/artist. It almost seems like this music is not for us, but a tribute to a golden age. I remember. 👍🏽🇺🇸

The midnight literally can't produce bad songs. Greetings from the Netherlands🔥

FINALLY A TASTE OF THE 1990'S>>>THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS NOSTALGIA>>>INCREDIBLE AS ALWAYS>>>CANT WAIT FOR THEW NEW ALBUM

I'm a complex man with complex needs. I see Midnight, I press like.

YESSSSSS

Treating me so good for a Thursday night 😉

The chat reminds me of what Rachael clone said to Deckard in Blade Runner 2049 "Did you miss me? Don't you love me?"

now thats what i'm talking about, different of all the old songs of the midnight, amazing !

The midnight.....Never disappoints...

"Monsters .zip" on the pc screen.... Teasing new album maybe? :D

how was I working without this kind of music until now?? this is so fkin awesome. vaporwave/synthwave changed my life.

Look at the time stamp of the "video" in the video, then read below...Witnessing "creation"? The first web page went live on August 6, 1991. It was dedicated to information on the World Wide Web project and was made by Tim Berners-Lee. It ran on a NeXT computer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN.

The unsent message reads: "If I love you will you love me?"

I smell quality... Must be midnight

we would go for four wheeler rides. it was the most perfect summer. she was 14 and i was 16. she was my first real girlfriend. first kiss, she had to teach me. she gave me her hairbrush so i could smell her hair when she wasn't around. just 2 little kids with big dreams trying to be adults too fast. life happens. i wouldn't change a thing. awesome tune The Midnight.

I feel like they don’t receive enough credit for the artwork produced alongside these tracks

The Midnight @Midnight 😍😍😍 Thanks for another great track. 🤜🤛

MY BODY IS READY AND IT JUST STARTED!!!!

I honestly can't stop listening to this track!

Wow it makes me feel a sense of comfort. Like I somehow lived and existed in 1991 as a 20 year old or something, even though I was born in 2000 so never lived through ANY 19xx years at all. This song just makes me think back to the 90s with memories I don't even have. It's awesome!

I just woke up and I needed this

The future of technology.

Love the Midnight and love them even more when Tyler's vocals are the focus of the song.

Anyone born between 1977-1983 is an xennial and it’s a pretty special generation. Back in the high life again.

New The Midnight! Drop whatever you are doing and enjoy!

Just in time for the show. I'll see you guys there!

"Computers aren't the thing. It's the thing that gets us to the thing." - Joe Macmillan, Halt and Catch Fire

These synthwaves are from another dimension, and I'm not talking about the location, I'm talking about vibrations, if you know you know.

This song with the background pic is perfect for reflecting on just how young the internet is yet how it has become so profoundly impactful and important in our modern lives and society.

Truly magical getting such a surprise at night. Amazing background art!

born 1987, the aesthetic of my childhood is celebrated by the entire planet

I love how Nostalgic this song makes me feel. Of this song including retro wave incentive wave stuff has changed my life. Never tell my listen to the song it reminds me of that phase I went through in life

YAAAS MIDNIGHT!!!! SLAY ME WITH YOUR SYNTH BEATS!!!!

From personal experience, this is one of the best songs to play when you're driving through a desert at twilight, watching the cacti pass you by and the sun setting in your distance 🏜️

"Welcome you've got mail" Oh 90's, where art thou? 😎

im absolutely mesmerized by this visual

Its like a mix between trance and synthwave! Did you guys just make a new genre, Trance-wave?!

The Midnight coming through with another nostalgia fix for 90's kids. Magnificent tune and visual!

This song is one of the best new release from The Midnight! Very good that they moved back to this type of vibes! :)

I love synthwave, the music is awesome and really takes you to the 80s!

Wow this is just too awesome!! Love from Italy! Down here there's literally nobody that can appreciate these masterpieces, so sad...

All my 33 years I never found a genre of music I could adhere to and then Retrowave came into my life. This must be how those that enjoy rap music must feel.

It's been a few years since this came out, but there's something mesmerizing about this song. It's not just nostalgia for a time in my childhood, but a feeling I can't properly describe.

1991, i just imagine people playing on their megadrives/Genesis's getting used to a certain blue hedgehog, great song tho.

The instrumentation on this track is next level

Unexpected, but always welcome.

How can I be nostalgic about an Era I never experienced

This band created a whole new genre of music
