Brooklyn. Friday. Love. is a song by The Midnight. It is the fourth single and second track from their album Heroes. The single was released on August 3, 2022.[1]
The song was written by band members Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan alongside Nikki Flores and Royce Whittaker. It was produced by McEwan. It has a running time of three minutes and 52 seconds and is in the key of F major. Brooklyn. Friday. Love. has its roots in Lyle's From The Secret Lair project, first appearing on episodes 7 and 25 of season one before being released on Mr. Green's B Sides. A breakdown of the track by McEwan was streamed on Twitch on August 5, 2022.[2]
In an interview with Magnetic Magazine, Lyle elaborated on the song's meaning:[3]
I wrote the initial version of Brooklyn. Friday. Love. in 2016 as a surf rock song while I was living in Ft. Greene. On days when I couldn’t stand staring at my computer screen anymore- usually around 4:00, I would get on a Citibike and ride up Flushing Avenue around the Navy Yard to Williamsburg.
My wife was working long hours at a corporate job in Midtown and usually wasn’t home before 8, so I would walk, well, I would walk and drink Happy Hour bourbon and cokes at Skinny Dennis, and I would look for books at Spoonbill & Sugartown, and vinyl at Rough Trade.
There was a refreshingly weird creative energy that permeated gentrifying Brooklyn that I’d never felt before. It struck me as a kind of weirdo heaven for a kid who grew up in the Bible Belt. When I die I want to go to Skinny Dennis and hear Zydeco or some Bushwick loft party Modular Synth set. Anyway, the place changed.
Apple and Whole Foods soon arrived in Williamsburg and Ft. Greene, the rents went up, the neighbors were no longer starving artist types. My wife and I also grew up- we had a baby and shortly thereafter we decided to end our five year relationship with Brooklyn.
The song became a Midnight song in 2021- two years after I left Brooklyn for Atlanta. I went back to visit New York for the first time during a lull in COVID waves to see my old neighborhood. 1/3 of the businesses were closed. There was more graffiti, and trash piled on the street like I’d never seen it before. I felt like I was seeing the ghost of an old friend. Reworking the song as an idyll to fit The Midnight felt like a way to honor the strangeness and vibrancy of a Brooklyn that seemed to disappear.
Thankfully most of the splendor has returned to the shabby neighborhoods I love, but I’m approaching my late 30s now, with a family and a mortgage and a more predictable life. The thought of drinking absinthe, or staying up past midnight to watch live music, or spending a day writing indie pop songs in an unheated Bushwick squat is unimaginable. This song is about an ideal that may still exist. It just can’t exist for me anymore.
List of The Midnight merchandise
This is a list of merchandise that has been offered by The Midnight, either through their online store or available to purchase at their live shows. The Midnight began a partnership with Wisconsin-based printing shop Ambient Inks in early 2017 to produce band merchandise. Initial offerings were limited to apparel, but over time other items such as accessories, posters, and physical music became available as well.
When The Midnight began touring in Fall 2018, some merchandise began to be offered exclusively at shows. In most cases, leftover stock will be available for purchase on the online store once a tour concludes. Some tours have additionally had exclusive merchandise for those who purchase VIP tickets, and some VIP items will also be available for purchase online after a tour ends.
From 2017 to mid-2021, the online store was located at the domain merch.ambientinks.com/collections/themidnight and served all customers worldwide. Beginning in 2020 and continuing into mid-2021, separate online stores were established for the US (store-us.themidnightofficial.com) and UK (store-uk.themidnightofficial.com) to improve logistics for customers outside of the US. The UK store is operated by Sandbag while the US store continues to be ran by Ambient Inks. Item availability can vary between the two stores, which both ship worldwide. In general, once a item is removed from the website, it will no longer be made again. If an item is still listed but shows as being "out of stock", more of the item is expected to be made.
