"Midnight Run"
Song

"Midnight Run" is a song by British singer Example from Example's third studio album, Playing in the Shadows. It was released on 4 December 2011 in the United Kingdom as the album's fourth single with an entire remix album on iTunes. The song was produced by Feed Me.

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Midnight Run" was first released onto YouTube on 21 October 2011 at a total length of four minutes and four seconds.[2] The video was filmed in Iceland, and sees Example sink into his bathtub before emerging out of an Icelandic spring. He then proceeds to embark on a road trip with a mysterious blonde woman before turning up at a remote cottage below the Northern Lights. The car used in the video, with the special license plate FEED ME to honour the song's producer, is a classic Ford Mustang Fastback from 1966 equipped with a High Performance 289 V-8 and the famous Pony Interior package in Red.[3]
