Dennis DeYoung formerly of Styx East Of Midnight Official Audio

EAST OF MIDNIGHT
A south side brick bungalow
In a lifetime long ago
When I was just a lad of seventeen
I was searchin for connection
To the big machine
Feelin’ lost everyone
Thinkin’ I was the only one
Like a tiny spoke in a wheel
just spinnin’ round
I was lookin' for direction
When I heard that sound
And I came alive
Cause it was all I ever needed
I came alive
When the rock began to roll
And I was revived
And now when I feel defeated
I hear the best of times and the music
Frees my soul
Chorus
Just east of midnight
I could hear the late night radio
And like a lifeline
I could fi nd my way
Just east of midnight
I could hear a world in stereo
And like a searchlight
I was saved that day
So I got me a vehicle
A second hand miracle
Just a set of wheels with a dashboard
radio
I was crusin’ down the airwaves
In the afterglow
So I turned it up
Cause it was all I ever needed
I turned it up
When the rock began to roll
Now I’m all grown up
And now when I feel defeated
I remember all the times
When the music made me whole
Repeat chorus

“I’m O.K.” and “Grand Illusion” had a love child! What a keyboard celebration! Go DDY!!!

[@dawnpowers7626]

Oh my god, that's the intro, isn't it? Damn you're right!

[@eldonb402]

For sure, could have easily been on Pieces Of Eight or Cornerstone.

[@kens.3729]

Beautiful! Your Voice is Strong as Ever and your Love for Mankind has Never Wavered. You Rock!👍

[@dmarshall1773]

OMG, that golden voice is back. Sharp, tonal, and distinct. Keyboards sound great, drums shine throughout - Dennis is back folks!

[@gregb91401]

This is such a terrific song. Such a great story that we can all relate too. For DDY it was the Beatles he was cranking up on his car stereo.....for us it was Styx.

[@giorgismama8024]

Great song! All your songs are amazing and I love the opportunity to listen to them. Your music is timeless. Thank you for your generosity in putting them on KZbin. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@Ok-Mardy]

For a moment there I thought I was just east of 1980 something! Dennis u still the Man!

[@halbunner8899]

1977 🤣

[@beatnicksodyssey]

This is my favorite track from the album.

[@JohnSmith-po2eh]

Dennis, Dennis, Dennis... dude. This is what we need. You freakin still have it! Keep rockin

[@eddie8ball348]

Another awesome song, sung by "the man" with the golden vocals.

[@gregjohnson298]

Refreshing to hear that voice again,awesome Dennis!

[@Carma_1]

Sounds great Dennis! 🎵🎶🙏🙌✌💌

[@reogina5]

Dennis I can so relate to this! Thank you for the songs and music! YOU ROCK!! 🤟

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Some Rockers unfortunately lose their pipes as they age and others just get better than they already were.

[@brianconway2537]

We need you more than ever Dennis ! Thank you !! Perfection 😎

[@ronaldfrechette2045]

How did I miss this a month ago? Fantastic!

[@l.t.w8985]

Buy the album or CD whichever is your preference. It really is great. He isn't joking when he thinks it's a great album and talks about it. He and Jim peterik did such a great job with this.

[@mikal]

A month ago? It was released today.

[@ronaldfrechette2045]

@@mikal I swear it said it was uploaded a month ago. I must have misread.

[@l.t.w8985]

Don't give up Dennis you're the man!!!!😁

[@ronharvey26]

Love the entire CD. Thanks Dennis!!! Happy Father’s Day.

[@pauljacques2133]

Dennis remembers what it means to have the dreams of a young man. Amazing song Dennis. The human adventure is just beginning.

[@tommydub1281]

Thank you Dennis. You are Styx! I am glad I got to see you and your band on your last two trips to Washington. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@prophetbradley5048]

If this is new music, WOW!!!! You certainly took me by surprise. GO DENNIS GO! You are the BEST!😎🕛🦊🔥🌈

[@The_Kirk_Lazarus]

Unreal. With your voice I'd think this was a track not listed on the paradise album. Amazing power and sustain. Thank you for taking care of yourself.

[@gmac6350]

That voice!! Great production. Thank you!!

[@user-qy7mi8ck3d]

Wow ! Ça fait la première fois que j'entends cette chanson. Elle est sublime ! Je l"adore.❤

[@LifeLoveof]

Wow! Can really hear where a big part of the Styx sound came from. Not knocking the rest of the band, but those keys and that voice.. Just, Wow!

[@CobraJoe7]

LOVE this song. great way to start the album!

[@HeleneMasiko]

One of the greatest voices in the world! xoxo

[@prophetbradley5048]

You can literally BRING THE PRESENCE OF GOD into the room when you sing TO HIM!!! PSALMS 22:3 Try it, you will love it I promise! God loves it when I sing "Best of times " directly to Him. I just change a couple of words to Jesus. He also likes "Annie's song " by John Denver. Sing directly to God and let me know what happens!😎🦊🔥🌈🕛

[@billngold6]

You're singing with God! ❤️🙏

[@judithwilber2540]

omg you really have taken care of your voice...it hasnt changed at all!! xox

[@MusikalKoen]

Hey Dennis my name is Koen Leliveld. I’m 21 years old from Sauble Beach Ontario Canada. You rock. I love Styx. My first time ever seeing Styx was at Casino Rama in Orillia Ontario in 2017 and they were great but not as good as the 1996-97 Return to paradise tour. I’ve seen them 2 times there now. This to me sounds a lot like The Grand Illusion and Pieces Of Eight. Hope this comment gets to you Dennis. Cheers buddy. Koen from Sauble Beach Ontario Canada

[@heikkidtw5992]

My 1st concert..detroit...1979..i was 8

[@MusikalKoen]

Nice. What do you think about the mission by Styx

[@rgolichowski]

Nice to have you back. You are Styx Buddy.

[@billieyediares5643]

This is wonderful!❤

[@yvettearchibeque4362]

Love it!

[@jacklee2318]

Awesome song DDY! been a fan for 40+ years, this is some of your best work

[@maureenlee1074]

Excellent song.

[@johnmoran836]

What awesome voice

[@lylewicks4112]

Just change the first line from south side bungalow to north side and this song is my life. Thanks Dennis. You sound incredible.

[@Nurse_mici83]

I love this! Thank you 🙏

[@robertwilson5058]

Great!!!

[@sr009]

What a great new tune! Sounds SO much like the best of Styx! So how many people can sing like Dennis (who is 73 years DeYoung) - see what I did there?

[@jazzbassmc8043]

WOW WOW WOW! I don't know how to say it in english but in french i would say '' ta voix a énormément de prestance!'' it's kind of strong or personable... Thank you!

[@statgeek2032]

Great song Dennis! Sounds like the DDY from the 70s. I saw you in concert a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. Your band is awesome. Best wishes for good health and continued success!

[@stephaniestavropoulos1639]

IT'S A CRIME!!! This caption should not read "formerly of Styx." You are now and for all time will be Styx. You are the founder. {You and the Panazzo twins Chuck & John.} The founding member of a band should not be considered former If anyone is "formerly of Styx" it's a certain two blonde guitarists. You are amazing! You look and sound fantastic. Your voice has aged well, like a fine wine. Thank you for creating your channel. I really what I've heard, {not all of it yet, of course!} of your lp, I really like. Keep up the good work. "Domo Origato!"

[@jivefx]

Excellent track! Brilliant album!

[@adkinstudio]

Love child of Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight.

[@jennrat513]

Soooo diggin' this...😀👍

[@misterninetyseven2898]

Volume 1 is definitely the better of the 26 East albums, without a doubt. Maybe part of it is a nostalgia factor because this brings back memories of being locked down and listening to Dennis's new music.

[@dlschweppe]

Dennis, found a possible way to reach you... In 1991 you issued Show Me the Way. I was newly ordained as a Lutheran pastor. I heard the song and thought, It's got to be talking about baptism et al. And today, years later, as I am about to "retire", I just read on Wikipedia that you wrote the song as a pseudo-hymn for your son. Thank you for that message back, what, 30 years ago. The message needs to be shared today, yes?

[@nancyreed1338]

This song could be from Grand Illusion. It's that good! If this album is truly your last then what a way to go out.

[@desshakelby5771]

I know that you are saying that these albums are your farewell. That makes me very sad. I have been a fan of yours since I was a child. I am almost 49 years old and have always been there. My name that I use for all my Animal Crossings character is Lorelai. Please Don’t go yet.

[@FriarParkFanClub]

Awesome!!!!

[@gregoryhorton4858]

Tommy and Jy check your egos at the door and make Styx great again before its too late

[@TruthSurge]

Dennis, your lyrics in the desc are incorrect. "feelin' lost everyone" is incorrect! Should read "feelin' lost like everyone". FYI.

[@leczorn]

The missing ninth song from “The Grand Illusion!”

[@bg104]

Wow. Just by doing what comes naturally, Dennis is certainly making Tommy and JY look silly and petty.

[@pepperdog2039]

sounds like styx

[@venuerocker]

*"Feelin’ lost LIKE everyone"

[@chicagotransferservicessch2303]

Lyrics are not correct need to adjust
