This song began as an attempt to snap ourselves out of that loop, and it ended up being sort of a thesis statement for the whole album.” “Real Midnight” is the title track off of the duo’s upcoming sophomore album, out February 19. “It’s probably the most personal thing I’ve ever written,” added songwriter/vocalist/guitarist JT Nero of the song. “And that can be a little rough, but it’s good medicine. We sing it because we need to. Unless you’re some a sociopath, it feels better to love and to be loving. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth the fight.” http://www.birdsofchicago.com   / birdsofchicago.official     / jtandalli
