Cardinal Black - Midnight at The Valencia (2025)

Posted By: Fizzpop

Date: May 23, 2025

A lot has happened in the miles and years we’ve covered together. Midnight at The Valencia is an honest account of some of the highs and lows we encountered and the stories we found along the way: ‘Ride Home’ unfolds a portrait of a boy we watched going off to war, only to see him return later a man; ‘Adeline’ is a melancholy love letter from a father to his daughter; ‘Morning Light’ follows a family man as he tries to rebuild his life after a divorce; ‘Breathe’ chronicles a tryst between illicit lovers fighting to slip the stranglehold of failing relationships; ‘Push/Pull’ is that plaintive rite of passage through loss and grief we all have to navigate; ‘Keep on Running’ is a cautionary tale of a friend’s brush with the unsolicited attentions of a stalker; and if ‘Holding my Breath’ is a confession to a partner of feeling trapped in a relationship, ‘Your Spark’ is the counterpoint finale: a thank you from one of us to his wife.

Here at The Valencia, we’re inviting the listener to ‘spend the night’ with us, to bring their own stories and find themselves in some of ours. To laugh, cry, dance and raise a glass to the past together, before we each turn to our next chapters…
