I’m going to have to dig in a little more on The Midnight. I’ve had this other song on my list, which does get some occasional radio play.
The saxophone part is incredible. Someone like 5-6 years ago in the Jazz world (Spencer Checketts? I dunno) had posted something on Twitter about comparing onion rings and fries and the debate in which to get. The idea was that fries are always solid and more predicable, whereas doing onion rings are really common to be so-so, but the ceiling on good onion rings far exceeds French fries, just that you don’t get them as often. Also related to Jazz world was one of our previous trib best writers. Forget his name but he was the guy that fashioned himself as a punk rocker. He’d always post about every saxophone song was bad. Anyhow, I’m not necessarily a lover of sax (not to imply I hate it at all), but sax for the sake of sax doesn’t necessarily do anything for me (this is actually true about any instrument) but when you get a good one, it’s amazing.
