Lykke Li has just blessed us with Midnight Shining, and wow, I’m still processing it.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and engineered by Jesse Shatkin, the song brings that raw, emotional sound we have come to expect from her. It is haunting, bittersweet, and leaves a lasting impact.
Let’s Take a Look at The Lyrics
“Yeah, I keep on runnin, darlin / And be the shadow fallin / Yeah, I keep on cryin on for you / Last time I woke up runnin / Got me up, midnight shinin / Last time I am dyin for, for you.”
The words are honest and real. They capture that feeling of being stuck in memories that will not let go. If you have ever been through that, this song hits right where it matters.
Simple Yet Powerful Sound
The music in Midnight Shining is kept simple, and that is what makes it work. Lykke’s voice stands out, and the soft backing track only adds to the emotional pull. This is the kind of song that sticks with you long after it ends.
A Great Year for Lykke Li Fans
Fans have had plenty to enjoy from Lykke this year. In March, she gave us a beautiful cover of Ring of Fire for Netflix’s Damsel. In May, she collaborated with Abstract Crimewave on The Gambler, a darker, more intense track.
By July, she lent her voice to Ben Bohmer’s Hiding, adding her magic to another standout song.
Following Up EYEYE in Style
If you loved her 2022 album EYEYE, you will find Midnight Shining to be a perfect next step. EYEYE was all about emotions and deep reflection, and this new song keeps that feeling alive while bringing something new to the table.
Do Not Miss Out on Midnight Shining
