Cover art for Midnight in Harlem lyrics by Tedeschi Trucks Band

To me, this is a song about forgetting the bad and looking at the good in a situation. The subject comes into the city broken down. At some point, she looks at the city in the night and sees how beautiful it is. In the second verse, she is literally looking at the bad things in the city. Again, when she looks up, it's beautiful. The beauty of the city captivates her and heals her.

Great song written by TTB and member Mike Mattison. That's my name, except I have an e where he has an i. Just to make this song a little cooler.
