Midnight Falling Music
Midnight Falling is a songwriting and live performance group based in New England. Our songwriting is progressive rock at the core, often flavored with tinges of other genres. The music tells stories, reflecting both the lighter and darker sides of life.
Our debut CD 'Beautiful Pearl' has had a lot of positive press and is available on iTunes, Amazon.com, Snocap, CDBaby, and other locations internationally. If you could only listen to 4 songs from our CD, we’d have you listen to “I’m Outta Here”, “Beautiful Pearl’, “Comfort Me”, and “I’m Dyin’ Inside”, as they best reflect the direction we’re headed. “I’m Outta Here” is a hard-edged defiant rocker of a tune, a song that seems to rock harder each time we play it. When you’re just so completely done with a hateful situation, and have finally decided it’s just not worth the overhead to continue dealing with it anymore“I’m Outta Here”.
“Beautiful Pearl” is a hard rock ballad, an edgy song about rediscovering the beauty of music that stands out as a favorite with a lot of fans. “Comfort Me” is a reflective song about sad lost soul, looking for relief when nothing seems to be right, whose life continues to perpetuate itself in badness. “I’m Dyin’ Inside” depicts how your soul feels when someone supposedly close turns out to actually be the complete opposite of what they led you to believe they were - in the worst of ways.Band/artist history
Stacey met Silvio in the least likely of places, a cold windowless room in a random office building. We became friends, and learned we had a shared love of music. We first started writing together in 2003 under the name “Midnight”’. We weren’t thinking of forming a live band so much as a songwriting partnership, composing songs as a duo.
Our original intention was to write a lot of tunes and try licensing them, which also explains the vast array of genres on “Beautiful Pearl”. But due to the overwhelmingly positive response the release is receiving, things evolved in a different way from what we’ve planned and we couldn’t be more excited. We started recording and playing gigs, and Midnight Falling grew from there. When we met Sebastian & Billy, we all had an instant connection both musically and personally. They both added a creative, explosive power to the music, and we all just knew we had to write songs together.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, we play live every chance we get! We have some special moments. Here are our best and worst experiences to date:
Worst: We had a gig at this local hotspot. And the rain. Oh the rain. It was just bucketing. Naturally, there was no covered entrance, so we were moving our brand new, not-yet-paid-for audio system into the venue covered in plastic tarps. The tarps might have helped had it not been so windy. Horizontal rain gets everywherewe were soaked. We must’ve looked pretty sad, as everyone was running over and handing us whatever random bits of cloth they had to try to dry ourselves.
Now this was supposed to be an outdoor deck gig, and once inside, we realized the venue didn’t really have a plan for an indoor show. They cleared a tiny spot for us, but with ourselves and our rig, it was like trying to fit a gorilla into a tutu - not very pretty. The fact that no one got smacked with a guitar headstock or a microphone remains a mystery of physics and chaos management to this very day.
Best: We had an outdoor summer concert held in the middle of a major downtown area. The weather was nice and the audience was fun that day, people were literally dancing in the streets. People were hanging out of passing cars waving at us. It was already a good show. But what made this show really great was a little old woman named Betsy.
In the midst of all the chaos, Betsy was slowly walking down the street alone, slightly bent over. She wasn’t really paying attention to all the hoopla and she stood out from the crowd like a sore thumb. As she got closer, she glanced up at us and we saw this deeply sad look on her face. It’s that heartbreaking lookwe’ve all known or seen older people with that same painful look. And we couldn’t stand seeing her so sad and isolated in a crowd of happy people.
So as we kept playing, we went over to her, smiled, and handed her a maraca. Well Betsy came aliveshe stopped and just shook the heck out of that maraca with a big grin. The crowd went wild and was very kind to her. It was so moving to see her painful look dissipate, to see this twinkle come to her eye. It was clear this was the best thing that happened to her in quite a while. She forgot her troubles for a little bit and just had fun, walking away with a smileand she did that listening to OUR music.
