As summer fades into memory, The Midnight captures this bittersweet moment with their new song, "Summer's Ending Soon." This track is the fifth single from their upcoming sixth album, "Syndicate," which will be out on October 3 through Ultra Records. The duo, made up of Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan, has a talent for blending memories with emotion, and they showcase this talent once again with their latest work.
The song opens with dreamy synth sounds that create an atmosphere reminiscent of late afternoons filled with filtered sunlight. Right from the start, "Summer's Ending Soon" evokes a feeling that is both sad and uplifting. Tyler Lyle's heartfelt vocals intertwine beautifully with Tim McEwan's polished production, giving the song its signature Midnight vibe, twinkly, moody, and full of emotion. While the music draws inspiration from the '80s synth-pop style, it feels fresh and relevant, allowing listeners to explore themes of fleeting memories, connections, and the passage of time.
The collaborative songwriting shines through with personal lyrics that reflect on summer love, beautiful sunsets, and the swift passage of days. McEwan's production enhances the emotional depth with gentle synths and a dreamy rhythm, underscoring the bittersweet nature of parting and change.
Adding to the experience, Alex Hooker created a stunning visualizer featuring vibrant neon colors and shifting scenes that further highlight The Midnight's commitment to creating a complete artistic experience. This visual element keeps fans immersed in the dreamy world the song evokes, making it more than just music but a journey of feelings and memories.
