Midnight Choir

Midnight Choir was a Norwegian indie/alternative rock band active from 1992 to 2004. Its members were Al DeLoner (Atle Byström), Paal Flaata, and Ron Olsen. They played a kind of Americana music.

The band was named after the opening of Leonard Cohen's song "Bird on a Wire": "Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir."

Midnight Choir won the Norwegian award Spellemannprisen in 1998 for best rock album, Amsterdam Stranded.

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or choir:

    “Have no lit candles in your room,”
    That love lady said,
    “That I at midnight by the clock
    May creep into your bed,
    For if I saw myself creep in
    I think I should drop dead.”
    O my dear, O my dear.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    O thou, with dewy locks, who lookest down
    Through the clear windows of the morning; turn
    Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
    Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!
    William Blake (1757–1827)
