This song saved my life over and over again. Started over started over again.
I'm the
Comeback Kid
💔❤️‍🩹🫀

I first heard this song in a gig in Glasgow just yesterday. This is dedicated to his wife who was battling cancer. I almost burst to tears when he asked who has a rough year? Staring over again…. Gave me hope and faith and an unshakeable certainty that it will be alright. Thank you for your music

Came here for synthwave, but stayed for the people who love what they are doing. It's the vibe you guys are giving, no matter the genre, it shines trough. <3

[danielwolfe]

The manliest clarinet player on this planet.

[AfterTheMidnight]

This song means more now than ever. Thank you. 💜

80's is great but 1880's hits harder.

I dedicated this song to my sweet cat, who got sick last summer and we had to put her down in January. She was 18 & survived abuse from previous owners as well as other illnesses. She truly lived all 9 of her lives and was my favorite Comeback Kid. It’s a pleasure to hear this version. Love you forever Chloe! 💓🥺🐱

Didn't expect to be sobbing at 7am but here we are. Comeback Kid was already one of my favorite The Midnight songs and this was just absolutely stunning.

[ImPattMan]

I'm not gonna lie, I've been listening to their music for a couple years now I guess, and this song still hit me like a freight train.

I'm just sitting in my office crying, hoping no one just happens to pop by haha

[princealbertz]

I don’t know how many times I’ve said this but this should be my funeral song when I die

[fabiokoy]

You're being essential to a lot of people, you know. Thanks for bringing so much beauty into our hardened hearts.

[DaftLuv]

The clarinet player has majestic hair and a majestic beard!

[shadoxir]

Wow....
Somehow the lyrics hit way harder now with this style.

I've make mistakes
And I've been hard hit
I say so what
So what if I did
I'm the clear eyed
I'm the comeback kid

[johanberggren]

I saw The Midnight yesterday in Stockholm let me tell you there only has been a handful of times in my life has felt so damn happy. Few things even compare, I danced, laughed and screamed my lungs out! I cried like a baby during Comeback Kid, that song hits so hard for me. The last couple of years has been really rough for me. Have had several fight with depression and there have been many times I felt like there was only one way it was all heading. But I am still here, I'm the Comeback Kid.

[cybershinigami]

1 year ago today my grandma died. So much as happened since then. I just wish she was here to see me now. To see all that I've done and how I've succeeded. I really am a comeback kid. I miss you so much.

[peterbojkowski]

Sensational. Tyler's voice is just magic.

[EduardoMartinez-ekxo]

Men when they play the arpa I couldn’t hold the tears!! It’s really a beautiful song… And I can’t believe that I have the honor to hear it just a few days ago… I just can’t believe it 🖤 I love you Midnight!!

[DevendraKumar-oupv]

Damn! This song was already very addictive and this version takes you to new dimensions. 😢

[JoyfulWAVE]

You can not imagine how deep your voice goes into my heart and soul. Nice version...but love the original even more. 👍♥

[LetsLearnNemo]

The original version of this sound was amazing, but this take on the song definitely gives a different feel that a lot can connect with. Beautiful work as always
