The Midnight Beats close the year with The Bells Are Calling (EP): a compact, bittersweet celebration of memory and new beginnings. This release pairs the band’s original early-1960s single,  jangly guitars, tight British-Invasion harmonies and the raw optimism of a young band with a rare reunion take recorded at the end of the 1970s: a warm, cinematic reworking with orchestral swells and a children’s choir that lifts the song into something cinematic and communal.

Both versions share the same melody and message: ringing out the old, welcoming the new. But they offer two distinct perspectives: the youthful, immediate pulse of the original, and the reflective, widescreen arrangement from the reunion. Perfect for holiday playlists, year-end reflection, and fans of vintage rock arranged for orchestral voices.

The Bells Are Calling

(Dum-dum-da-da-dum!)
(Dum-dum-da-da-dum!)

Ring out the old, let embers fade,
(The bells are calling!)
The year is closed, our small fires made.
(Time keeps falling!)
Ring in the truth, let mercy grow,
(Oh, let it grow!)
A brighter street is all we know!
(Let it glow! Oh, yeah!)

Ring out, wild bells, sing loud, sing true!
(Ahh!)
Ring in the year that waits for you!
(Ahh!)
Ring out, wild bells, the night gives way,
(Ahh!)
A brand-new dawn is breaking through!
(It’s coming through!)

Ring out the lies, the hush, the fears,
(The town keeps ringing!)
Let small hands guide the coming years.
(The windows singing!)
Ring in the neighbors who lend a hand,
(Let’s light the lane!)
A better future has begun!
(We can feel it!)

Ring out, wild bells, sing loud, sing true!
(Ahh!)
Ring in the year that waits for you!
(Ahh!)
Ring out, wild bells, the night gives way,
(Ahh!)
A brand-new dawn is breaking through!
(Breaking through!)

Let the sound of the bells
Wash the ache from every lane.
Each chime hands hope,
Through the snow, through the rain!
(Wash it now... Let it fade.)

Ring out, wild bells, sing loud, sing true!
(Ahh!)
Ring in the year that waits for you!
(Ahh!)
Ring out, wild bells, the night gives way,
(Ahh!)
A kinder world is calling too!
(Calling you! Yeah!)
