Lyrics

MIDNIGHT (c) Dennis Makepeace
A hotel room in a no star place,
I listen to the radio ,unpack my case
Its new years eve,no resolutions made'
My memories stay,though my dreams may fade
Cold grey walls and empty bars Boring journeys in droning cars
I try to make a call,i try to write a letter,
She's making a break,and i can,t forget her
chorus
Midnight is a lonely time ,for the things you say,theres a price to pay
Midnight is a lonely time,the loneliest part of the day
The loneliest part of the day Need for money is a dangerous thing Ambition is funny take whatever life brings
You work all nights,she works all day
No time for loving in the family way
Your kids soon grow up,those times you will miss
Your lady won't show up and you'll miss her kiss
You're waiting for a call'you're looking for a letter
Time passes so slowly and you can't forget her BRIDGT
Do you ever wonder what aims you're chasing
How are you spending the time you're wasting
chorus
chorus
the loneliest part of the day
The loneliest part of the day

Cute instrumental start. Balanced recording.

Really enjoyed the song. Very well done great instrumentation, vocal is pleasing to hear, lyrics are strong. Catchy tune well done

Nice song , great lyrics ! Enjoyable harmonies in the chorus .

Guitar has a nice crisp sound. Vocals sung well. I liked the music change at bridge. Nice tune.

To me the recording quality is good and the singer reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot. I think the song has market style and is likable. I do like the songs and singing style of Gordon Lightfoot.

Just the right length for listening. Quality of vocal phrasing was good.

I like the guitar on this track.A melancholy song with good, clear, confident vocals and catchy tune. Very easy to identify with the lyrics. A pleasant feel overall. Well done!

I like it allot!!

This song has a lot of potential, with a good melody lines and vocals.

I love singer songwriter songs like this; shows an abundance of talent; lyrics, music, arrangement... it's all top notch in this song.

A nice song and a good vocal.

nice track. good soft vocals with nice backing music of guitars and percussion. good chorus and arrangment.
very well made track. nice relaxing song

Nice song well done

Great song for a tv/movie scene to serve as a background music.

One of the best I've heard so far, nice over all Would make great tv or movie music
