Paige's Playlist, May 12 2020: "Midnight Train" by Escondido
This is a stressful time for a lot of us, for too many reasons to count, but one additional one is the end of the school year for many. For the next few days, I wanted to share some of my comfort songs that are relaxing to listen to and help me out when I'm stressed. This one is at the top of the list. "Midnight Train" is quintessential late-night car ride music, the kind of song you can just stare out the window and watch the world go by to. The lyrics are incredibly simple, but its call for a place to just be alright hits home through its sleepy production. The song resists being repetitive by having a slow build and a quiet, soft resolution that is just so nice.
