Presented by B.B. Entertainment, Fly By Midnight will be flying to the Philippines for the first time for their January 19 (Monday) show at the Music Museum. But before the big night, let’s look back at some of the best Fly By Midnight tracks we should check out before singing along with them live.
1. Different Lives
Perfect for late-night drives, “Different Lives” is definitely a playlist staple. Released in 2023 on the album Fictional Illustrations, the song explores the feeling of being reborn—becoming a brand-new person for someone special.
I’ve lived different lives, different lives
Before you ever made me feel alive, feel alive
The core message of the song is about leaving behind who you once were and opening up to life with someone special. It emphasizes how having a partner can inspire and support personal change.
2. When She’s Dancing
Next up, a song perfect for yearning is “When She’s Dancing,” released in 2021 on the album Silver Crane. It tells the story of someone watching the person they love from afar, who uses dancing as an escape from their emotions.
The world’s a stage and it’s on fire right now
And I care, but she don’t, no
The track describes a person who avoids confronting their feelings, using the metaphor of dancing to disengage and keep things normal. The gap of emotional distance between the narrator and the person being described in the song widens.
3. You Belong
The upbeat and romantic track “You Belong,” released in 2018 on the album Rerunning, feels perfect for a movie soundtrack. While it has an upbeat energy, the lyrics carry an emotional depth behind.
And I don’t know if it’s too late
You belong with me
The narrator in the song expresses deep regret over letting their special someone go. As the track unfolds, their longing intensifies, and they describe that person as their “partner in crime,” but they express disappointment in missed connection with the person.
4. Waking Up
Different from the songs mentioned above, “Waking Up” is an upbeat track that perfectly complements its refreshing lyrics. Released in 2019 on the album Happy About Everything Else… the song is a feel-good track.
I’m waking up no deja vu
No there’s no one else like you
The lyrics capture the spark of a new connection, with one person developing a crush and describing the feeling as being on “cloud nine.” This connection seems an escape from reality, creating a feeling of paradise whenever they are together.
5. Divine Thing
Fresh from their 2025 album The Fastest Time Of Our Lives, “Divine Thing” captures the rush of overflowing emotions toward someone with a deep connection that feels indescribable.
You know it kills a man to define things
But looking at you is a divine thing
The narrator shares their feeling as a “divine thing,” suggesting that the presence of this person brings peace and clarity. Their presence seems to dissolve negativity.
Add these tracks to your playlist and jam with Fly By Midnight before they hit the concert stage! Catch their first-ever Manila show on January 19, 2026, at the Music Museum.
