Midnight to Midnight - Psychedelic Furs

[link] The title track of their 1987 album.  This is my favorite track on the album. This is arguable the last album of their mature pop sound.  They stripped things down after this and sounded quite a bit different. It took me a while to grow into this album (or it to grow on me).  They were going for high imagery, which seemed a bit pretentious (and still does).  But the songs eventually get some depth after repeated listenings.  Or most of them anyway.  This one has nice dynamics and intensity.  The churning vocal line against the rising and falling of the rhythm guitar in the chorus is my favorite part.
