Wilson, Jonathan - Over The Midnight Lyrics






We are traveling over the midnight
We are holding our hearts
We are in flight
And our shoes might as well be nails!
In our minds play 1000 pretty songs (for us)
And there's nothing up here that could be savage
There's no fear, no hatred, no killers, no guns

And besides, you're wearing red ruby lipstick
So I touch you and smile while you laugh
While these idiots all lose their power
And we dance as we cover our trail

Yeah this world it is burning
But don't it feel incredible?
Whisper in my ear
And tell me what you see in the flames

There's a freak loading out of my driveway
He's a stranger with a kind hippie face
There's the muscled ghost
And it's riddled with torment
Can you roll babe?
Here's some papers and grass

And besides, we've got the whole town to roam around in
And they've overdubbed our voices in French
To the Beverly Hills for our Margaritas
You look so pretty in the polo, but you're smashing in pink

Yeah this world it is burning
But don't it feel incredible?
Whisper in my ear
And tell me what you see in the flames, in the flames

We are traveling over the midnight
We are holding our own, we are in flight
And our shoes they might as well be nails
Our minds play 1000 pretty tunes (for us)
There is nothing up here that could be savage
Theres no fear, no hatred, no killers, no guns

Wilson, Jonathan Over The Midnight Comments
  1. J.... S....

    I am here because Jonathan Wilson is the raddest cat on the planet. Period. (Well, if you’re a music head.)

    And I like to get really, really high on mushrooms to great records like Rare Birds and Fanfare. #HellYeahFuckYeahJW🧙🏼‍♂️

    Life changing

  10. A.... E....

    El músico y productor Jonathan Wilson lleva su psicodelia folk-pop un paso más allá. A veces puede resultar empalagoso, pero en este caso "Rare birds" es un disco redondo, en el que se adentra en un pop-rock elegante. Presta atención a piezas como "Munholland queen", el sonido ochentero de "Over the midnight", el pop de marcada influencia beatle de "There's a light" o el medio tiempo en el que colabora Lana del Rey titulado "Living with myself". Un disco de tono confesional, en el que Wilson ha sofisticado los arreglos. Al fin y al cabo es un artesano, su nombre como productor o músico de acompañamiento se asocia a artistas como Jackson Brown, Father John Misty, Bonnie Prince Billy, ... de hecho ahora está de gira con Us + Them de Roger Waters, que después de recalar en Barcelona llegará la próxima semana a Madrid.
    Música independiente novedades.

  11. S.... A....

  17. P.... A....

    Veak voice, thinlegged melody, shitty lyrics and a complete idiotic drum

    P.... A....

  19. E.... ....

    Excellent song and a precursor to what will be another astounding album I'm certain.

  20. K.... D....

    It’s the dude who sang at Roger Waters’ show as David Gilmour, and he really sounded amazing. I sense David Bowie here, tho.

  21. E.... S....

    Thanx Steve Jones.

    E.... S....

    Hell yeah brother!

  22. A.... W....

    Beautiful song! Mapped the chords so others can play and sing along: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/contribution/queue/decision/view/?id=2318985

    X.... ....

    XQCmoi This is ordinary? Lol Did you even watch the video?

    X.... ....

    Far from ordinary

  24. G.... S....

    Che tristezza.

  25. O.... T....

    Same melody in verse as Audioslave - I am the Highway.

    O.... T....

    Yeah..... no. Also the main difference being that song sucks and this one doesn't.

  26. P.... ....

  30. W.... ....

    You have completely sold out.

    W.... ....

    MsRabbitt how?

    W.... ....

    To who? Or what? And how so?

  31. K.... T....

    WICKED yet ANGELIC at the same sweet sweet melody! TALENT!
    Plays guitar for ROGER WATERS on his recent tours and being great Solo too has to be a sweet gig brother!

  32. L.... ....

    Looking for a new sensations, i respect who changes because wants to enjoy what he does.

  33. T.... R....

    Who directed this?? I LOVE IT!!

  34. G.... P....

    Sembra proprio un pezzo dei war on drugs. Sinceramente non ne sono entusiasta: il video poi si vede che è fatto con due lire e pure brutto...

  35. I.... ....

    I wasn't convinced yesterday when I first listened to it, maybe I wasn't in the right mood. Today it's been on repeat mode for hours.

  36. M.... S....

    So cool that my favourite artist is releasing rare birds on my birthday! Whata gift! Roll on whelans! JW the man! ✌️🕺🏻🔭

  37. M.... C....

    Start sounds exactly like Michael Jackson’s Beat It and the rest sounds like the war on Drugs.

  38. L.... H....

    This really sounds like the war on drugs, I hope there will be some tracks which have the good old Wilson-style...

  39. B.... ....

    Great song and video. Jonathan Wilson reaches my soul like no other musician these days.

  40. I.... S....

    I cannot wait to hear your entire album and your song with Lana Del Rey 'Living With Me'

  41. R.... ....

    Come to Brasil !

  42. E.... P....

    really cool, excited for the new album
    are you going to have the deluxe vinyl at the Detroit show? I don't want it to be sold out by that time but shipping to Canada costs just as much as the record itself

  43. M.... C....

    What a fuck is this Jonathan?

    M.... C....

    Mattia Caroli agree with you! Come back to 70s covers like previous - great! - albums!

    M.... C....

    This is great. WTF are you crying about?

    M.... C....

    Good for you. Missing 80's so much?

  44. b.... d....

    Am I the only one who got Coldplay vibes from this? Not sure if that's in a good way or not, ill let it grow

    b.... d....

    This's true, man

    b.... d....

    I can't see it. Sounds like the war on drugs a bit to me.

    b.... d....

    i'm actually getting pretty heavy matthew good vibe... anyone else?

    b.... d....

    Funny, but I got some Radiohead vibe from "Gentle Spirit" here and there with those crash-and-burn studio effects he added to a couple of tunes.

  45. P.... S....

    elixir for trying times. can't wait for the full release

  46. B.... B....

    Love the song , and interesting video, can't wait for the album . Always loved your voice so much.

  47. L.... ....

    Can’t wait for the album!

    L.... ....

    heard the news too? Lol excited

    L.... ....

    AR WALTER WAGNER

  48. B.... C....

    gorgeous.

  49. L.... C....

    What is this, an even better version of The War On Drugs?

    L.... C....

    I'm really digging "Over the Midnight" and it does most certainly remind me of The War On Drugs... particularly "Under the Pressure"

    L.... C....

    Repair your soul and beg Jerry's forgiveness, Lars C.

    L.... C....

    Accurate

    L.... C....

    Your crazy to think this is better than the war on drugs

    L.... C....

    Musically it's as good, but lyrically not as good as The War On Drugs IMO. Don't get me wrong though, I do like it.

  50. J.... T....

    Beyond excited for this one.

  51. J.... W....

    Loving it! I only just bought Fanfare but I think Jonathan Wilson is my next favourite artist! Keep on writing!

  52. c.... ....

    In JWilson I will always trust. Can’t wait for the full release.

  53. R.... m....

    mmm Interesting... waiting for album

  54. A.... S....

    Cool song & video... waiting for the album :)
