Lyrics:
Fire on the beach
Face to the sky
The stars dance around like gods in disguise
The gold silhouette
You take off your clothes
And my heart feels the weight of all I don't know
Memories and mountain tops
Drunk on Sunset Boulevard
With the city of angels singing on
Maybe this is just a dream
And maybe we are still asleep
But I, I will miss you when I'm gone
Flickers of the canyon fire
Its hands raised like a gospel choir
If we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Helicopters against moonlight
Our holy mother of the midnight
And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Tomorrow we'll go
Back to our lives
With sand in our skin and sun in our eyes
But I know the truth
I've seen the signs
And I've seen the golden gods in disguise
Memories and mountain tops
Drunk on Sunset Boulevard
With the city of angels singing on
Maybe this is just a dream
And maybe we are still asleep
But I, I will miss you when I'm gone
Flickers of the canyon fire
Its hands raised like a gospel choir
If we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Helicopters against moonlight
Our holy mother of the midnight
And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Flickers of the canyon fire
Its hands raised like a gospel choir
If we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Helicopters against moonlight
Our holy mother of the midnight
And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Flickers of the canyon fire
Its hands raised like a gospel choir
If we live forever, let us live forever tonight
Helicopters against moonlight
Our holy mother of the midnight
And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight

I very often just come here for the comments. It's like we all feel the vibes of this music. I once read a comment under the original video saying: "This song makes me feel in love with someone I don't know yet.". I really felt that. This is the song I listen to during late nights. It gets me every time.

[@doctorhonda111]

Agreed, I love that comment. Sometimes I think about this video while im out somewhere alone. It still makes me want to fall in love with someone so bad

[@budgetgamer4048]

[@arirhamdar394]

it's too dangerous to watch this at midnight 😂 the emotional rush is just.....

[@joeyisho5370]

I don't know what to say. Something about this fills me with nostalgia, happiness, sadness. Life is fleeting. Everything about it is finite. This track reminds me of my youth. It painfully fills my mind with the memories of past. A time where anything was possible. Now I'm older, its hard. It's not easy. Anyways, I'm drunk...and it's 4am and here I am listening to this beautiful track. Let us live forever tonight.

[@synthwaveclassic5361]

"Let us live forever tonight" - I wish we could. At least let us fantasize we can 💔

[@WalesGaming86]

This song is an absolute vibe, and the video was a brilliant way to communicate the feeling behind it. It feels like the end of a chapter closing but the beginning of another just starting and a mixture of sadness, melancholy and excitement. But no regrets.

That's it! The vibe of this song really hits you in a good place.

[@prithvirajsaha9110]

I fell in love with a beautiful person around the same time I found this song out. This song layed the outline of our love story. Although I don't belong from around the beaches, our entire love story started and ended right by the beach. She is at a different place now, and so am I... Just like the plot of the movie, our love didn't quite make it, but this song certainly has my heart. Thank you naani, I owe you big time.. Also, I know this isn't the same edit, it's just me spilling it out anyway

[@YvesDeSwert]

I can not think of a song that’s more “Mono no aware” than this one. So powerful... An absolute masterpiece.

[@vladimirpejic]

My thought exactly. Especially listening to it at night (which I do most of the time during my late night coding sessions 😁).

[@remjuicepachuau4429]

Life is so hard these days. All I ever wanted was have a girlfriend who would stay with me forever. But being the not so good looking guy and no sense of basic communications since I have felt so many insecurities about speaking. I guess its impossible for me and now that I have dealt with getting looked over and getting rejected by the same girl 3 times in a row, I've lost all hope trying to get her. Songs like these makes me feel better because I can atleast sink in and just feel the atmosphere of the music and the video. I'm glad that these kind of romantic videos exists so thank you.

[@jamesk1913]

confidence , a sense of style that fits your physique , and above all else be a man. Ladies find these things sexy .

[@remjuicepachuau4429]

@@jamesk1913 yeah, that's what came to my mind when I got rejected again for the 3rd time... Confidence... I made up my mind to never go soft on girls again and just let someone who wants me, fights for me too. Being nice all the time isn't the best strategy at getting the girl you want I guess...

[@johnsoneberdine4893]

@Hector-Thanks for doing this Hector. I really liked the lead at the beginning and the scene flipping sequence at the end. There are likely 100s of thousands of us who are grieving the loss of Nani C.s Artwork. It has created a hole in the Universe (and our playlists) for many of us. This same thing happened back on July 10th, 2019. For 3 days I felt the same thing many of you are feeling now. Loss and a true sense of grief. Nani, if you are reading this, we hope everything is well with you. I hope this was not due to some troll or jerk leaving ignorant comments on your work. 99.99999% of us experience a most unexplained joy watching what you have created. Not just once, but over and over and over again. Like many others we return for various and some unknown reasons. Maybe we are feeling down, maybe we just want to see what is new. Maybe we want to just watch again and relive the awe of your talent of your creation process itself. Maybe we enjoy just reading the comments of the newbies sharing the exact same feelings that we had in our first encounters with your work. Because of you I am a Midnight fan, a Night Traveler fan, I rented La La Land, I rented Career Opportunities. If copyright was an issue....well they benefited financially from your work. All of them. Please return if possible? We miss you. We miss your work. If you can't, thanks for changing our lives for the better. Best Regards,

[@Scribbby]

Agreed, Naani introduced me to The Midnight and Night Traveler. I would have not gone to see them live if it weren't for him. Definitely a life altering experience all thanks to Naani.

[@TheMadmatt7]

Incredible song. And I don't have to ever see La La Land cause I know the whole story now.

[@CyberVirtual]

This music video really made La La Land look a lot more like a fun adventure rather than what I expected and I guess that is the beauty of it. Hey that's just the power of editing folks. The highlights really made it all worth watching. I know its too corny to have every pair of main leads get together but there was a great lesson to it. Sometimes former lovers inspire you the most but you could still look at each other fondly from a distance.

I need to know she remembers! The kind of love that gave you wings and made you forget about all earthly needs! The kind of love that 40 years later still causes you to think about her daily and wonder… what if; with that aching in your heart that will never fade for eternity. Eternity! We were once great together! That once was the pinnacle. The Everest. I was just too young and naive to recognize it. Forgive me… because my heart won’t.
