Midnight




Behold : A play list dedicated to the most mysterious hour of the night : midnight. 

The midnight hour is believed to be the time when magic practitioners would cast their strongest spells and hexes due to it being an in-between time.

Midnight is also a quiet, reflective time ... oftentimes lonely and sometimes creepy.


Poet Wallace Stevens summed up the midnight feeling pretty aptly :


I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. 

I have been one acquainted with the night.
