Midnight Til Morning’s newest single, Ghost of Us, is a pop rock song about missing a relationship. You’ve tried everything you can to forget about this person, but they live rent free in your head. You’re still in love with what used to be, what you can no longer have. The song truly reflects how difficult it is to fall out of love with someone you thought was the one. Are you early 20 somethings like the band is? Are you in this position right now? Or are you just looking for some fresh music to vibe to? Yes? No? Either way, I hope this song graces your ears today.
Ghost of Us’s lyrics like “If I’m honest, when you call me, my bags been packed since the morning” and “Spent all night here deleting your pictures. One phone call and I tell you I miss you” are honest and vulnerable. I like the overall vibe and production of the song. All four members are singing so I get to analyze the unique tones, inflections, and, most notably, accents. It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to a band where all the members are equally talented singers. A strong single with undeniable charisma and an upbeat pop rock energy that I feel has been missing from mainstream music recently has my stamp of approval.
Midnight Til Morning are comprised of Australians Conor Smith and Mason Watts and Americans Shane Appell and Zach Newbould. They were pursuing solo careers and were formed on Netflix’s Building The Band, a new realty television singing competition show that primed in July of this year. They just recently released their debut single, “Bye”, and are going on tour. The tour is spanning North America, Canada, and Australia (with more dates coming soon) and officially goes on general sale tomorrow, August 8th. If you’re looking to add a new band to your music diet, check out their music and consider buying a ticket!
