When my head hits the pillow
and the day starts to fade
as the world closes in around me
im ready for the midnight ride

To the dreamworld I'm headed
where all my dues are all paid
Yeah, it's always my first destiny
On the way to the midnight ride

Midnight Ride - on the way to a midnight ride
Midnight Ride - on the way to a midnight ride

Where my mind's a blank canvas
and I own all the paint
every scene there is is painted by me
in the way of the midnight ride

Midnight Ride - in the middle of a midnight ride
Im in Midnight Ride - in the middle of a midnight ride

It is a sweet ride. It is a sweet ride.
There ain't no wishes denied
You're on the Midnight ride
It is a sweet ride. It is a sweet ride.
Cause there no rules to break
When you're on the Midnight ride

You don't take things for granted
they are not what they ain't
No rewards for the timid or weak
In the middle of the midnight ride

Midnight Ride - you're  in a midnight ride
Midnight Ride - you're in a midnight ride

Midnight Ride - you're  in a midnight ride
Midnight Ride - in the middle of a midnight ride


I hope you all enjoy this little song.

Regards,

hi Steffen,

Cool little song to groove by!

It proved to be another pleasant collab, with nicely measured performances from everyone.

Great job on the mix Steffen, and thank you for letting me work on your original song idea!

Cool song Steffen and Co,

Love the vocals.

I don't look in here often enough, I'm sure you have loads of new songs uploaded, I just need another lifetime to catch up.

Bobby, nice to see you drop by! I've always wanted to send you an e-mail and ask how you are. It's a pity that you don't show up as often as you used to do, but I understand that life can get in the way.

I do hope that we'll collaborate again.

Regards,
  Steffen

Sounds awesome gang!! So glad you grabbed these lyrics and "found" a song in there Andy/Steffen.
Mick, Gary, and Jay brought so much in to this collab. I'm jazzed that Jay is finally singing one of my lyrics
 and love the fact that I'm already in a finished collab with the "new guy" Marcel.
Way to go Marcel!!! You fit in just fine, here at MCS.

[Errol]

Sounds fantastic. Very nicely done indeed.
