Whether our eyes are open or close, the dawning thought that there is more to life can be seen clearly at anytime. Midnight can prepare us for the light we need in the darkness that we had been kept in for so long. When the time comes to leave, we don't have to forget our past and leave everything behind. In the end, the experiences and mistakes we've learned from will help give us the strength to move on to a life where we no longer need to question why we still stay. Even at midnight, our minds can be awakened to the truth that it is time to go forward, and there is no more fighting it. NATI. truly gives us the strength to be free as we lie awake at midnight and prepares us to move forward into the new day.




"Midnight" opens immediately with a slow, heartfelt piano ballad and NATI.'s gentle voice that prepares you for the emotional impact that is surely going to leave you in tears. She shares the intense feeling that, whether her eyes are closed or open, she can see that she is ready to go and be free. The memories float in the air like feathers, and the love that had once embraced her heart is tangled, but she now can see through the night to the new day she is ready to go to. The song continues to build up and the power of her voice grows stronger as she continues to gather the strength at midnight to leave. She doesn't question anything, she's sure of the new path she is ready to travel as she waits for the light to shine through the darkness. Nothing is stopping her, and now she knows that nothing is truly holding her back. In the third verse, she is joined by a harmony of voices as the loose feathers of her past gather into the wings that she can't leave behind. The memories are here to stay, and rather than hold her back, they will help her to soar into the light. The harmony of voices helps to show the willingness to go and leave nothing behind. The chorus builds as if to provoke us to look at our own lives, and to give both herself and us the strength to leave a painful situation. Just when you think the song has reached its full intensity, the bridge seizes our hearts as NATI.'s powerful voice captivates our attention. The harmony and melody adds to the strength of the song as it continues to build. In the end, she is sure of the journey ahead as birds can be heard in the background, signaling that it's soon time for her to go. NATI.'s "Midnight" is a song that will truly shine a light we've been hoping for in the darkness that we are ready to leave behind.


NATI. did not settle for a 9-5 job knowing her potential in the music industry. Located in the East of Scotland, in a quiet, seaside town, NATI. played guitar in her bedroom for fun during the lockdown. In 2022, she gained almost 2 million followers on social media and ran livestream shows that gave her the ability to focus on her music as she continued to grow in popularity. From creating "5 More Minutes" with Rich Turvey to having her biggest show sold out at St. Lukes in Glasgow, NATI. continues to blossom in the music industry. NATI. not only creates beautiful music to listen to, but to help understand people who are no stranger to being alone and have sought out comfort in music like NATI.'s. She continues to grow with her uplifting and powerful songs where we can truly be strengthened by them in times when we need it the most.
