LYRICS:
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy sound check
To her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
You haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine
And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost
And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice
That everyone is staring at you
And you so care what you look like
The world is falling
Around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
And you know that she'll break you in two

I don't know about that. Human emotion is an incredibly awesome thing, oftentimes only fully appreciated in hindsight. Heartbreak is horrible in the moment, but my god does it make you feel more than you ever have. It's so weird that you feel like you could die, and yet those emotions are the most electrifying feeling.
I dig how the intensity of his singing and the instrumentation increases as the song progresses.

That’s because Mikel was in a serious on/off relationship for a while. A few of his songs are about that… so, yeah, palpable anger.” I’ve been to two shows with TATE in small venues and I loved every minute. I happened to hear them on Jay Leno before they recorded this song and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Lyrics like these can only come from personal experience. Simple, raw, emotional and honest. If this song leaves you cold, you have a soul of custard and a heart of clay.

This is the best love loss song ever written!! Cheers
No matter how much you get over a girl, no matter how happy you become, the idea of her remains with you and forever makes you wonder "what if" its beautifully terrifying. Even if it's been years, even if she has completely changed and it could never work, the idea of her refuses to go away
I come back to this song so often. I'm not even experiencing heartbreak and haven't in years but this song is just SO good it makes me long for that FEELING again

Me too!!!! I first heard this song many years ago on the radio while driving through Houston and I was balling so bad that I had to pull my car over!! But, unfortunately they never said the name of the song or who it was by! So, that was it! I heard possibly the best love loss song ever written and I would never hear it again, which made me cry more. Fast forward to a few months ago and I was looking for the song Goodbye Horses from Silence Of The Lambs, but instead of the original song coming up first, it was a cover by some crazy named band I never heard of called The Airborne Toxic Event. With a band name like that I had to click on it and see how it was. To my absolute delight, their cover was, in my opinion, better than the original. So, I looked through the rest of their playlist and saw this song. It had millions of views so I clicked on it and was absolutely thrilled to find this song again!!!! I grew up in the late 70’s and all of the 80’s, the music I fell in love with back then was and still is spectacular! Even so, I have to say I do believe this is the best damn song ever written!!! Everything about it is perfectly achingly painful and absolutely brilliant!!!!

The buildup, the emotions, are visceral. I feel every note, every lyric
Almost every man can relate to these lyrics. A woman you love slipping out of your hands and you are utterly powerless to prevent it. You can rage and cry but knowing none if it will make a difference. 'you just have to see her, you just have to see her'...like it's the only thing that will keep you breathing. Amen to that.

When you hear a song that melts away 40 years of life and takes you back to those precious four or five years in your mid-20s...to your first true love....you know you've found not a good song, not a great song, not an epic song.....but a song that is LEGENDARY.

When I first heard this tune, my life was falling apart. On top of that, I was madly in love with a woman, which I gotta believe it’s what this song is about. I would drink myself to sleep night after night listening to this song. I could feel myself being pulled into the video. Life goes on and time heals all, but all it takes is a few ounces of good bourbon and this song and it puts me right back in that time.
I vividly remember 13 year old me getting mesmerized by this song every morning before school when it played on VH1. As if I knew what heartbreak was then.

The whole scenario where you’re watching each other trying to be low key but you just Know, and where you get memories or try to show off someone new is actually so goddam accurate. Honestly this song is one of the most realistic songs that people can relate to
This is the first song I’ve ever heard that gave me a full on out of body experience doubled with chills and numbness that I haven’t heard any other songs compete on that level. It’s so amazing and scary at the same time.

I love how the tempo (if that is the correct musical term) and the complexity of the music builds to convey the building and confusing emotions being experienced in the song. Just fantastic use of music to tell the story. Based on the end....he does not find her. Love this song.
This song is perfection. I could listen to it on repeat forever. Perfectly captures that angst.
We've all had, or will have at least one obsessive, toxic relationship in our lifetime that everyone but you knows is just no good. Quitting this person can be like kicking a drug addiction; paranoia, anxiety, depression, even sweats, chills and nausea. And like a drug, even though it's poisoning you can make you feel more alive than anything else in the world.

Get’s? Since the apostrophe marks ownership or a missing letter, I’m curious as to what you mean... Does “me everything” belong to “get”? Get cannot own anything as get is a verb. So I’m assuming get does not own me every time as ‘me everytime’ is not a noun and not able to be possessed. In that case the apostrophe must be to mark a missing letter. Get is me every time? Get us me every time? I’m confused. Gets* I’m also an absolute arse for this but if someone learns then it’s worth it . PEACE Banging song x

was just explaining that to my best friend. it's hard to put the finger on it. so many elements... the build of the instruments... the lyrics being followed by a slow moving angst and then the release of it all meeting and spilling out between one's ears.
Song takes me back to when I had my first heartbreak when my first love left me I was distraught heartbroken and thought I would never get over her... Forward months later and I'm at a random dive bar in downtown L.A. I'm there enjoying my drink when suddenly I look across the bar and see her staring at me, all the memories and emotions came back like a flood but I was strong enough to just leave my tip and walk away. Years gone by and I'm with the new love of my life happier than ever. Moral of the story; keep your head up, brighter days are ahead. 💯
You can’t understand, but if you do understand then you get it. That’s what’s this song is about. I’ve been broken in two and I’ve been broken in so many more pieces but yet I’m still whole. I’m still here.

I know nobody cares, but this song is so unbelievably powerful to me. The love of my life left me and got engaged to someone else a few short months after we broke up. That was right around the time I discovered this band. I'm in a really great relationship now that I see going to marriage and for life, but watching this video made me feel everything I did before. It's a strange feeling to love a song so much even though it makes you cry about something that happened so far in the past. I get to see these guys tomorrow night in Milwaukee.

I know those feels. This came out around the time my first fiancee split but I was constantly seeing her around. Every word of this song resonated with me. This song may have been one of the few things that pushed off the syicide attempt for so long.

Your right nobody cares.
“You just have to see her. You know that she’ll break you in two.” …. Powerful. He’s so real for that. The hold a single person can have over someone never ceases to blow my mind. If you can’t relate to needing to see someone and loving them even though they ruin your life you can consider yourself lucky.
13 years...And it starts sometime around midnight
Amazing lyrics founded on the fact that we have all been there. This song exemplifies music written from the soul and from life experience.

This song captures that feeling so perfectly... It's as though you're doing OK , then you see her, and you get a glimpse of that unattainable emotion before you slide back into the abyss!

Perfect description of any of the other comments on here. Its like relapsing from a drug. It is a drug. Heartache.
I worked for SoundBite Studios and had the privilege to listen AirBourne come every morning and create and rehearse this song.
Why does this song always have to come on when I'm piss drunk :..( Like it sneaks up and taps me on the shoulder and says, "hey... I just wanted to let you know that... YOU'RE GONNA CRY"

Just discovered this absolute gem! wow its sooo nice to find "new" music and to have it be this good, such emotion, such power, beautiful!
And it starts Sometime around midnight Or at least that's when You lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song About forgetting yourself for a while And the piano's this melancholy sound check To her smile And that white dress she's wearing You haven't seen her For a while But you know That she's watching She's laughing, she's turning She's holding her tonic like a crux The room suddenly spinning She walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there's a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing Like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies Like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless And lost in the haze Of the wine And she leaves With someone you don't know But she makes sure you saw her She looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling Your stomach in ropes And when your friends say what is it You look like you've seen a ghost And you walk Under the streetlights And you're too drunk to notice That everyone is staring at you And you so care what you look like The world is falling Around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her And you know that she'll break you in two

You think that you forget about her. You think that all what had happened means nothing now. You have great life without her. You don't need her. But then you hear this fucking perfect song and all memories come to your mind, your heart is breaking down, couse you know she was The One. She was unlike any other person. That kind of unique feel her smile gave you.... You're wondering were she's now, what she does and if... maybe she also thinks about you. Maybe... you will met again. And you know if you had a second chance you would never let Her go... Becouse this kind of love happens once in your life.

Yea you described it perfectly. This song makes me think about all of the good memories that I had with her. All of the good times and amazing experiences that I had with her... they wouldn't have been the same with any other person. She was the one who made me feel like the luckiest guy in the world whenever I was with her... She made me happy. She meant the world to me, and I loved her to the point where I did have to let her go. She had dreams and goals that she wanted to accomplish in life, and I knew that she wouldn't be able to fulfill them if she stayed with me... So I had to say goodbye. Maybe my life will be just fine without her. And who knows? Maybe we will meet again like you're saying. But until then, I'll keep the memories of her playing in my head as this song plays on repeat...
I just LOVE how this song builds. ❤
Man, this song makes me feel things and I've never even been in a real relationship before. That's how you know they did something right with this song.
This song has a hypnotic effect on me, just like this girl that I knew once...
Haven't heard this song in so long, it's an all time classic and it's not showing any signs of deteriorating with age. Only getting better in my opinion!
This song just wrecks me.

This song will never get old for me. It’s been a part of me for so many years. Every single time I’ve been in pain. It’s just beautiful. The lyrics are something else
One of those rare songs that affects everyone.
This is an example of how a work of popular or rock music can transcend the banal and truly be ART "Sometime Around Midnight" And it starts Sometime around midnight Or at least that's when you lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her For a while But you know That she's watching She's laughing, she's turning She's holding her tonic like a cross The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there's a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine Then she leaves With someone you don't know But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost." Then you walk Under the streetlights And you're too drunk to notice that everyone is staring at you You just don't care what you look like The world is falling around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You know that she'll break you in two
Sometimes you just listen to a song and it makes you feel so overwhelmed with emotion. And you wonder how a person could not at least once listen to it. How a song so beautiful could go undiscovered by so many. This is a fine example of that song.
This song is sitting alone, surrounded by people, while you get pulled back under, reminded of a time when love had meaning, and hope was high, where your life had a future and everything didn’t hurt.

Every time I listen to this song, it brings back a flood of nostalgic memories and emotions. A classic.
It doesn't matter the year. This song hits in the feels every time. Beautiful storytelling
This still stands the test of time as legit one of the most affecting, moving MVs I ever watched. 🎵
one of THE most lyrically grown/adult songs I've ever hear. This band also makes the BEST renditions of, Live Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, Ever and I mean Ever made. Brilliantly captured the spirit and essence of Ian. Well done.
“You just have to see her, you just have to see her, you just have to see her.” That part gets me !! It comes down to that when you are absolutely CRAVING someone !! It’s all you can think of.
Sometimes a musical band scores a perfect hit, writes the perfect song, a marriage of words, chords, and emotions. But I just have to say this video completes the effect - it's so finely done - all the elements come together to make true excellence. This song really hits its target - goes straight to the heart.
I love this comment section. People from all walks of life, all different experiences but all share one thing in common. Heartbreak. It's like a therapy group.

Written about a real situation. That's why we all feel it like we do. It's real, not manufactured, emotions.

Ryan Thomas ... 😎 keep her happy and always smiling
A perfect song that perfectly conjures the memories of loss and heartbreak. Still gets me every time.
Man, college and being young.... this exact feeling happened to me way too much in my late teens/early 20s..... It's a tearjerker of a song if you are going through something like this. Glad I was able to grow up and move on.
I've been a lover of this band for a while now..the writing..the music..makes my emotions travel across so many waves. 💜
The gradual increase in beat throughout the song until it crescendos is just like the knife being driven deeper & deeper until it's finally pulled out at the end. And you're left forever slow-drip bleeding. Not enough to kill you, but too much to live...
I used to jam to this song every day on my way to high school and didn't really care what it meant. Then last night it happened to me.

Welcome
Almost 40 years ago my first true love broke my heart. I can still remember the pain I felt the first time I saw her with another guy. This song really captures the pain that you feel. The buildup is what makes the song.
What an under rated song! God...the sting of a break up and the reality of someone moving on first...
The feeling of lost love... captured so profoundly... They perfectly captured the essence of losing someone who you truly thought you loved. The sadness the angst and the anger can almost be felt when listening to this.
To me, this whole album is perfection, and this song is one of the best.
Hard to explain but that violin shot at 3:10 could only exist in songs written from 2005 to 2010. Great track.
Barely anyone I know is familiar with this band, so it's delightful to see this video has more than 12 million views. This band deserves more recognition;
Sometimes you don't appreciate a song at first. Then later in life the lyrics relate to exactly what your going through. Great song.
