Blackbook – Wait Unti Midnight

Bells, shadows, longing

"Wait Until Midnight" by Blackbook begins with an atmo­spher­ic intro that feels as if the song is rising above me with light, min­im­al­ist­ic swings. For me, it's this moment when everything slowly unfolds and the sound car­ries me toward catchy synth pop / elec­tro pop. The vocals are soft, sens­it­ive, and man­age to cre­ate an imme­di­ate con­nec­tion without being intrusive.

In the chor­us, these bells come in – they give the whole thing a heav­enly mel­an­chol­ic atmo­sphere that cap­tiv­ates me every time. I think the song is burst­ing with dynam­ics, not only in volume but also in instru­ment­a­tion. With each addi­tion­al chor­us, "Wait Until Midnight" draws me in more and more, espe­cially when the strings kick in dur­ing the second chor­us. For me, this moment has an incred­ible impact, almost cinematic.

And then comes the bridge – once again, it brings me to my knees. This mix­ture of emo­tion, ten­sion, and eleg­ant restraint is exactly what makes Blackbook so spe­cial to me.

Lyrics of "Blackbook – Wait Unti Midnight"

There's more to us
More than meets the eye
There's some­thing there
Somewhere deep inside

The angel in you
Fears the mon­ster in me
But the mon­ster in me
Can set you free

Love, let's wait until it's midnight
Oh when the moon is full and bright
Love, let's wait until it's midnight
To reveal our oth­er side

So now it's time
Time to make that change
On this holy night
Nothing stays the same

The mon­ster in you
Needs the angel in me
Cuz the angel in me
Will help you heal

Love, let's wait until it's midnight
Oh when the moon is full and high
Love, let's wait until it's midnight
To reveal our hid­den side

Waiting, wait­ing, wait­ing 'til midnight
Waiting, wait­ing, wait until midnight
Waiting, wait­ing, wait­ing 'til midnight
Waiting, wait­ing, waiting

Love, let's wait until it's midnight
Oh when the moon is full and bright
Love, let's wait until it's midnight
To reveal our oth­er side

Let's reveal our oth­er sides
