Midnight To Twelve Week: Day 1 "Story"

(antiMusic) Are you a bit tired of emo? Burnt out on mallcore and bling obsessed hip-hop? If so, alternative rockers Midnight to Twelve just might have what you are looking for. The band's surprisingly eclectic self-titled album hits stores next week and to get you ready for it we asked frontman Jon Hartman to pick some of his favorite songs from the album and tell us about them. Here is Jon with today's song:

"Story": This is one of our newest songs that started out in one state and slowly got finished from one city to the next. It's kind of became the trend. We write when we feel we can't keep it in any longer and never just to finish a song so we can say we have another one in the bank. Al was working on the bones of the music but still wasn't sold on the structure of the song.

As a band we set up in Las Cruces, NM and we had some time so we set up at the club and started working through it. After an hour or so of listening to Al quarterback the guys in working the song out, something clicked in my ear and then I went up to Al and shared the melody idea for the verse and he liked it. We got the structure worked out and the song became what it is. I let the emotion of music guide me both melodically and lyrically. We always go into songwriting with open ears. "Story" is all about why we should but usually don't listen to those that have experienced what we are going through.

Hear what it's all about, learn more about the band and the CD, plus find out where you can see them live. It's all right - here
