Like "Don't Bring Me Down," "Midnight" also features melisma'd "down"s and "around"s. "Down" in the line "Midnight, when it all comes down" is sung to the notes D C Bb, so although "when it all comes down" is used more metaphorically, there's a musical sense of that "down." "Around" in the line "Only the brave, the fools are around" is sung to the notes C Eb D C D, musically giving a sense of either breadth or merely presence.
