Felix White (the Maccabees) collaborates with many artists on his project “Cosmo”. Here, he works with Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine on “Midnight”; a funky-melodied song with deep meaning on how it feels to be a performer, and what their job actually means to them.
[Verse 1: Florence Welch]
I’m just gonna sleep here
On my hands and knees
Back on the mainland;
The grey reaching trees
Am I just getting what I deserve?
God, it hurts
[Pre-Chorus]
And the shadows at the shows;
Enormous and moving to the music
I could imagine I
Was in seven different places all at once.
[Chorus]
The Colosseum or the concert hall;
The city or the sea
The bedroom or the ballroom makes no difference to me
It’s all just a place to lose it
One way or the other you had to break through it
[Hook]
And I still see you on that window-sill
My whole life;
What a heavy drop to fill
Was that just your place to lose it?
One way or the other you had to break through it
[Pre-Chorus]
And the shadows at the shows;
Enormous and moving to the music
I could imagine I
Was in seven different places all at once
[Chorus]
The Colosseum or the concert hall;
The city or the sea
The bedroom or the ballroom makes no difference to me
It’s all just a place to lose it
One way or the other you had to break through it...
[Hook]
And I still see you on that window-sill
My whole life;
What a heavy drop to fill
Was that just your place to lose it?
One way or the other, or the other
Or the other, or the other
Or the other, or the other
Or the other, or the other
Or the other...
[Chorus] x 3
The Colosseum or the concert hall;
The city or the sea
The bedroom or the ballroom makes no difference to me
It’s all just a place to lose it
One way or the other you had to break through it
