Thomas Edinger (born May 26, 1976)[1][2] is a Danish musician and multi-instrumentalist, best known for playing the saxophone. He has played the saxophone on most of the studio versions of songs by The Midnight and has occasionally performed with them live. According to Tim McEwan, most of the saxophone parts are written in advance for Edinger to perform, however, some of the solos were improvised by Edinger.

Edinger started playing the saxophone at the age of 13, and after a few years received Bikubens Talentpris (now known as the Reumert Prize), a talent prize founded by the former Danish bank Bikuben.

He has played saxophone for many artists, including Lukas Graham, Billy Preston, Andrew Strong, MC Einar, Bobo Moreno, Marie Carmen Koppel, Søs Fenger, Søren Poppe, Søren Sko, Danmarks Underholdningsorkester, Jakob Sveistrup, James Sampson, Nanna, Monique, Morten Remar, Snoop Dogg, STRØM, Medina and Christoffer.[1][3][4]

Lyrics

I was born in a room with flourescent lights
Raised to be kind and afraid of heights
But they always seemed to find me
At night, out on the ledge
Catching glimpses of the strange fruit
That grows beyond the edge

Where do you go in the darkness
When you're alone in your bed
How do you dream
When you're just a machine
Imagining colors you can't see

I worked the same job everybody had
And they said I was special
If a bit too sad
But they always seemed to find me
At night, out on the ledge
Catching glimpses of the strange fruit
That grows beyond the edge

Where do you go in the darkness
When you're alone in your bed
How do you dream
When you're just a machine
Imagining colors you can't see

Where do you go in the darkness
When you're alone in your bed
How do you dream
When you're just a machine
Imagining colors you can't see

If we're all connected
Why can't we seem to get along
Why does every road I take to leave just bring me home
And why does the journey feel so lonely
It's been so long
Will these questions matter when we're gone

Where do you go in the darkness
When you're alone in your bed
How do you dream
When you're just a machine
Imagining colors you can't see

~Where do you go in the darkness
When you're alone in your bed
How do you dream
When you're just a machine
Imagining colors you can't see~

~Where do you go in the darkness
When you're alone in your bed
How do you dream
When you're just a machine
Imagining colors you can't see~

Background

Album trailer

On February 13, 2023, a short soundbite of Tyler Lyle from a live show was shared to the band's socials, with a cryptic date of February 16 given.[3] On that day, Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live was officially announced with a small trailer and was slated for release on April 22, exclusively on vinyl through independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023.[4] The songs on the album were recorded throughout various shows during The Midnight's 2022 tours in North America and Europe.

1300 copies of Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live were pressed across three different colors - red, white, and blue - with the color not being known until opening the record.[5][6] The album was promoted with a live acoustic performance by Lyle at Criminal Records in Atlanta, GA on the day of release.[7][8] It was hinted that the album would be made available again at some point in the future.[8][9]

On August 15, 2023, it was revealed that Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live would have a full release on all platforms on September 1.[2] Heroes was released as a single from the album on the same day and was accompanied by a corresponding live music video. In addition to vinyl, the album was also available in cassette form for the first time. The digital and cassette versions contain eight new tracks in addition to the eight included on the original vinyl release.
