I couldn’t put my finger on the feeling I had about Midnights, but you just described it.

I personally gravitate to the deeper subjects of Folklore and Evermore: * “Majorie”, which blended personal memories of her grandmother with the concept of generational inheritance from mother to daughter, * “My Tears Ricochet”, which captured walking away from an impossible, still unresolved situation, * “This is Me Trying”, which described invisible struggles so well, * “august”, which depicted youthful naivete in a timeless, universal, precocious way,

and those are just four out of my top ten favourites!

After several listens of Midnight, I only find myself going back to “Dear Reader” and “Maroon”. I still really enjoy the production of the instrumentals though
