Midnight Hour - Pharrell Williams

[homegyrl]

i've watching this video since 06, all time favorites!!



[blackcoconut4]

Pharrell should have used this song for himself! He sounds amazing singing it. The instrumental is still insane to this day!

[smittyboy007]

4:48 "A melody!!"

[smittyboy007]

Random finger point 3:50

[ruffonthaedges]

I am sure he gotta piece of her by the time they were done making the song. I have heard her other songs she can sing, but damn. I am wondering what the hell she is doing just chillin. I don't care how tired I was its either u want to work or not. And yeah I heard the story of how she flew from one session with someone else to Pharell and was hella tired. Bullish!!!! And the camera guy was annoying.

[MrKingoftheeast1]

This nigga behind the camera....STFU!!! I can't hear Pharrell damn lol

[RonnieMurakami]

no wonder Tasha never blew up. look at her horrible work ethic.. lol all up on the phone while pharrell makin' hits.

[KidZakiLKG]

Like if at 6:16 u started smiling

[tazbo28]

Love how Pharrell basically wrote the entire song for her, and in the end she couldnt even make it a hit. Sad. This beat should have went to someone else. Maybe Christina Milian or someone s

imilar.

[XxD3ARxT0KY0xX]

@tazbo28 hater

[Noswad91]

what the fuck. pharell the muthafuckin king

[littlemissAlexis]

in love!

[victoriassecretpinky]

i wantin to kiss pharrell's hot n fun lips at the stroke of midnight. god he's sexy milk chocolate yum yum gimme sum dim sum.

[schassis]

dun dun dun, shut up nigga

[MiMarcMusicTV]

that nigga recording is annoying as fuck lol. but this shit is inspirational seeing pharrell work and write a song

[armin6988]

Fast Start : 6:15 :)

[ItsDizzyBeats]

Love this video very inspirational

[mellraizer]

so cool to see vibin thru the creative process.

: )

[marcelinhopharrell]

Natasha Ramos ou Vanessa Marquez eis a questão HSUAHUSHAUHSUA

[fckhype]

I miss the era of when pharell/neptunes produced 80% of everything out, it's what I grew up on *sigh

[schassis]

@fckhype I feel you on that bro!



[nycgame]

Natasha Ramos?

I though Vanessa Marquez sung this song ?

[bluepicis]

PUERTO RICOOOO ESO EEEESSS!!!

[psomas13]

Like this is you just downloaded the instrumental and listen to it over and over

[devid1969]

4:48 epic

[ItsDizzyBeats]

Dam I watch this anytime I need inspiration lol ask anyone who's made beats with me I jus sit back light a splif n the rest just comes to me

[ItsDizzyBeats]

@solar it is out look up midnight hour it is a song made by P for that girl

[Solar703]

One of da illest's sessions I've ever seen, Chad was mad spontaneious!!!!!! She seemed like she was just not there 4 sum reason!!!!!! Dis session inspired me on a couple trackz of my own!!!!!!! Wish dis track would have came out!!!!!!! Great job Pharrell!!!!!!!!!

[ccrossley]

Pharrell definitely got his inspiration for this song from "Electric Relaxation" from Tribe Called Quest. Change the rhythm a bit and a few extra chords.. Regardless, DUDE IS A BEAST! A true Hip Hop historian studies what music formula works and makes his mark from it.

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

@ccrossley Wow i never noticed that he sampled this off that a tribe called quest song

[verygoodbrother]

@xXGhettoBlasterXx I highyl doubt this was sampled of that track, can't hear a single resemblance

[33DMason]

This beat is hotttt

[kbizzle31]

one of my fave videos ever, love seeing creativity in action

[NickworksProductions]

youtube.com/watch?v=b7DGOijdbv­E

[mantis006]

She's ready to fall asleep. lol

[TheMoonlitConspiracy]

HAHA! Chad walks straight in and kills it when Pharrell asks for a melody at 4:50 and Pharrell instantly sings that melody and it becomes the hook... Chad took all of 10 seconds....

[trenton79]

camera man needs to quit talking!!!!!! ! this vid is dope though!

[ninjastah]

ahh that classic neptunes shakers!

[nidnidya]

why dont he just sing this song by himself?? Why should he give this dope beat to that giiirl?

[deez723]

@nidnidya Possibly for an exchange.. he give her a beat.. she give him free entrance to the land of pussy, and a exclusive lifetime pass at that... anytime.. anywhere.. capiche.

[cyn24ful]

This is amazing.. Loving it, really vibing to this.

[413NOTSREHTAEF]

He's working..and she's on the phone..smh..Id turn my phone the fuck off if I was in the studio with Pharrell. no disrespect to her..but Id be zoned.

[afinales]

where I could find this instrumental? Big thanks.

[epiphany720]

i love this dude!!!

[jennifereileen]

this is beautiful! I love Pharrell!



[GROSSATV]

One of the best rnb joints from Skateboard P....

[dawgie1234]

Jets.

[CaramelNate]

Why is she covering her boobs?

I guess she thought she'd wear no bra to entice Pharrell hahaha

[myst1kaless112]

man i was heart broken when i saw all the comments of how SHE did the song and ruined it, i was so excited to go buy whatever cd this thing was on, dont mean to sound gay but this shit gives me a crazy feeling an i just drift away

[mrsanders47]

another one of my favorite producers . hes a cool guy . works alot . yes i wish he sung this too . this song didnt even make it to the radio . but pharell wouldve killed it

[gotmymindwright]

I don't hear the similarity to "New Day."

[Videlsports]

Pharrell and Chad are nice... I love this, I wish he would have sung this himself. Natasha is good ,but Pharrell brings a vibe to the song that makes it phat...

[michaeldasikeo]

Sorry for the cursing but im glad this bitch went no where. if i was GETTING a song from pharrell or even just in the STUDIO wit him id be too hype to remember i had a phone, that was hella disrespectful.

[mattfaulkner]

@michaeldasikeo It was probably 5:00 in the morning and they had probably started at 4:00 that afternoon lol. She couldn't keep up with him as an experienced studio junkie.

[michaeldasikeo]

@mattfaulkner true he is a damn workaholic lol

[cp6f8t]

was the camera man jackin off while filmin this or what the fuck

[omd0]

i wish pharrell would remake it .....

[BhramaBull]

alley oop off the back board

[OrionSimm]

He should have got the camera guy on this instead of her. He raw

[inabeana]

Camera man, I know u wuz feelin' it.....but....smh!

[3StormyKnights]

Nas would have murdered this.

[llmramazingll]

@3StormyKnights smh

[TheEnigmaStyle]

@3StormyKnights nas? :D i severely doubt this would suit nas? id say PHARRELL would have killed it, if anybody :D

[3StormyKnights]

@TheEnigmaStyle

@llmramazingll

Ever heard Black Girl Lost? But yeah, Pharell definitely would have done it better justice.

[kapone815]

@coquito86 I think the year of this was around 2004,05 or 06 either one of them cant remember exactly which year bro

[Whatthetrash]

Why in the WORLD does she answer her phone? Really?!

[kapone815]

@Whatthetrash seriously I would of had my phone turned off or on silent

[klockWorkz92]

He Really should have kept this song for himself would hav fit perfect on In My Mind

[j2011carter]

@klockWorkz92 wouldve been perfect on Neptunes presents the Clones...he hates in my mind lol

[bznraisu]

cameraman needs 2 shutupppppppppp

[dutty254ev]

Why is she there? She must have good connects! I would have gone mad if I was in that studio working hard like Pharrell, and she on the phone.

[kaeminator]

real man doesnt give a shit on that girl...only enjoyin his song!!!

[Kaytradamus]

Feelin' mad inspired right now. producers who needs inspiration should watch this video.

[inabeana]

Lollll @ iSupraman

[inabeana]

Sade wudda murked it!

[MrJonMedel]

Hmm... Real Credit 4:50 ......Chad :) Good Melody sounds familiar.

[Lron85]

is that john mayer?

[wildchild1314]

@Lron85 Chad Hugo -______-

[PleaseExcuseUs]

How about they just YANK Natasha Ramos of the song and re-release it as their own single? If that was me I would've been bobbin my head harder than Pharrell!!

[cubedmack]

He should have gave this song to Sade.

[kapone815]

@cubedmack he should of just did it himself just listen to him singing it its made for his voice

[philanderadriaan]

At least pharrell is not an elitist closed minded snob like you guys.

[rgdt214]

this is one of the most sickest beats i have ever heard and i watched this video i think 2 yrs ago! pharrel a beast how he made that beat if this was his song i would buy it and bump it in my ford taurus! lol

[squishykim]

he wasted this beat on her. She really didnt do it any justice. He should've just kept it for himself

[suyside]

needs moarr pharrell and alot less natasha ..

[drx44]

Great to see Pharrells happy face at 7:13: "How crazy is that!"

[datlancboi018]

Fucking masterpiece!!

[jalees]

they should've had chad add those extra strings on there...

[iSupraman]

shoutout to the broken B flat key on the ASR 10 !

[nelud5]

Почему он её себе не оставил, ета "Натаха" ее только испортила!!!

Песня класна, очень нравиться...

[9MickeyMouse2]

isit and watch this all the time...... just watching him create is all the entertainment ineed.....this man in genius!!

[kapone815]

man this song would of been a big ass hit if Pharrell had of kept this beat for himself,because Natasha Ramos fucked this song up in my opinion and I ain't ever heard of her until this video to be honest

[darriusdadj]

ASR 10 !

[1AaronSkyy]

i love this beat, i can sing to this :)

[mrEyeMade]

It's funny cause I only listen to the instrumental version !!!!!!

Ps : pharrell is the man

[MrVizionary2012]

man that girl lost her mind answering the phone when pharell is singing

[polosdashit69]

natashas version is all autotuned anyways...shouldve given to sumone who deserved it but eh who knows her people prolly paid top dollar.

[djflee0]

HI KALLISTA!

[nigum0]

I love how Pharrell just got into his zone and was focused on his beat.

Yeah, Tasha was lil disrespectful in my eyes. Regardless, we also don't know if Pharrell is a "control freak" in the studio. That's probably how his creative flow is and once started he won't stop until he done. So she had lil input basically.

Nonetheless, sick beat, sick producer, sick song.

[marccruzz1]

Yo this beat is amazing Idk why he gave this up to her ..you could see she's not even in to it .....sad

[AJx408x]

as much as we all would have rather had P on the track, her's wasn't THAT bad lol

[JAYstayLIVE]

@AJx408x I think you forgot to take it off mute.

[livsie12]

when pharrell starts singing at 2:50 it clearly is his song, his beat, his tune, its him all over. why he gave it to her is beyond me... it suits his voice

[schassis]

she was prolly tired from traveling but shit.how can you not feel that beat though????and chad coming outta of no where on the guitar just strumming like its nothing and that shit was sick.

[schassis]

she was prolly tired from traveling but shit.how can you not feel that beat though????

[iSupraman]

is she retarded tho? you cant POSSIBLY look that uninterested in this fucking miracle of a composition...

[razh718]

I've Probably Seen This Video Over 20 times, And If It Ever Gets Removed I Will Nevr Watch Another Youtube Video Again...

[omd0]

wheres this bitch now .....hahahahhaahaha .....PHARRELL PROBABLY DROPPED HER ASS AHAHAHa .....after her foolish antiques (camera mans annoying as fuck , but even hes paying more attention then her )

[koshy2000]

he's clearly seeing sounds

[omd0]

@koshy2000 synethesia ...

[MrHumbleWill]

omg do you hear them strings peak out

[horstizzle]

@ThaSlyOne it's not about the starstruck feeling u nutbuster... it's all about magic happening and that dumb bitch is deader then a mofo.. and that's prolly why she still didn't make it and prolly never will. azucar con sabor motherfucker... she couldn't even help with songwriting

[TheEnigmaStyle]

@horstizzle dude, when you got pharrell williams doin everything for you, what is ther to actually do!??! she would ruin it! haha listen to the fina product, all shes actually done is sung to it, and shes RUINED IT!

[Flipsyderz]

@TheEnigmaStyle nvm. forget what I put. LorL.

[BV10707]

@TheEnigmaStyle a mute coulda done a better job than that dumbass girl

[TheVisitor3]

@TheEnigmaStyle haha so true.. but I think shes kinda hot.. :D

[TheEnigmaStyle]

@TheVisitor3 same :D 

[jacksonsim95]

i know this song for sooo long, and it's still fucking good

Props to you Pharrell, one of the best producer ever known

[djflee0]

SWAG

[Skyhighblu]

@djflee0 Right

[getblest]

Voice is on the weak side - at least from hearing the actual finished track, but she's FYNE. I call it the CASSIE syndrome. Don't sleep, she can hold a tune and there are voice coaches out there. If she improved her skills in the last 4 years she has a shot, unless she gets fat or suddenly turns ugly. Why would P even produce her? She's paying good money for the track and/or... as mentioned she's fine as HELL. Who knows maybe they're friends, she sang on his album but ME, I'd be tapping that.

[getblest]

6:10 P finally gets tired of the cameraman's BS... classic. Honestly I was surprised at how discreetly he did it - I think 9 out of 10 producers woulda screamed on him & kicked his @ss out the studio by the 3rd minute. P musta been vybin off this trak, it has that chill-out feel - Damn near put his artist to sleep, hah. While she sits there & napping & text msgng, P's getting the production & the writing credits = ALL THE MONEY. She could at least have gotten a co-write if she put some effort.

[itsmarcyubitch]

in the midnight hour ;-)

[xHugoStiglitz]

The camera man is a faggot, shuddup. and Natasha Ramos isn't famous for a good reason. I like that "jet lagged" comment as if she was actually on tour all over the world. shut up.

[LaMOi1]

And I hope this shows everyone WHO exactly these 'modern artists' are.... They're just a face, when its the people in the studio who are the talented ones, Ramos looked non-plussed.. Completely disposable.. Music is shit these days.

[LaMOi1]

Way way better than the actual song - sounds like the beginning off a Stevie track, innervisions era... They should have released this..

[omd0]

@ThaSlyOne jet lagged ?? .....bitch get a grip its called fucking hard WORK ...

[omd0]

how does pharrell come up with these beautiful melodies ....and he is fucking consistant with it ...

[MrNytn2001]

@omd0

"you can work your butt off, practice, study, and you too can become a professional musician, but the melody? melody comes from god."

- nadia boulanger

[horstizzle]

@MrNytn2001 unfortunately melody comes from my nuts

[JBC16]

yea this should've been one of the joint pharrell kept for himself lol

[nolanliln]

Just tryin to get noticed. I'm a young emcee from chicago. Please give me a search if you hace some time. Young JNO is my name. Oh please don't spam

[cadetbradford]

Dude I wish the cameraman didn't ruin this by singing along!!!

[lildun120]

@ThaSlyOne truth, at that point (if there ever was a star struck feeling) dudes just another talented person

[LikaLiana]

if he wrote a song for me, I would be most happiest singer in the world...

Natasha,open up your eyes!!))It's Pharrell Williams!

damn!))do something))

[ajoke100]

This is so inspirational. It comes so naturally it seems! Ahh!

[neptuneniq]

she started hiding her rack after the camera man zoomed in on em hahahah

[omd0]

this actually sends me on a dream .....pharrell one the best producers ever for me

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

if phaarrell he could have done this song himself

[ThaRealHipHop2008]

@xXGhettoBlasterXx Right on point bro...

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

@ThaRealHipHop2008 Don't Get Me Wrong I Love Natasha Ramos. She Makes Good Songs...But Midnight Hour Would Have Been Way Better If Pharrell Did It

[Persistent250808]

Wow.. i love how everyone is judging this girl's whole character and talent from just under 10 minutes of video. All of the musicians out there know, that a studio session lasts alot longer than that.. give her a break lol.

[Cranebts]

Shes cute but shes boring as hell...get out if you aren't gonna help yourself

[Godsgift816]

He was so into it at @6:24..Love the passion!!

[JayyeMusic]

pharrell  is so sexy just vibing to the beat

[JoeyKnowllz]

sounds like The Beginning of Overjoyed By Stevie Wonder

[AlexNiedt]

@ThaSlyOne It's not about being star-struck or "on P's nuts". It's about her apparent general lack of excitement for this creative process in general. That is not the way people who truly love music typically behave in the studio. I've never once had anyone in the studio who just sat there like that, messing with their phone.

[TheEnigmaStyle]

@AlexNiedt enit thats what i thought:P she obviously got a lack of love for music, shes one of the people that just does it to be famous, u know?

[jacksonsim95]

@AlexNiedt you're totally right

[2uflame]

say pharrel keep the chorus and let me spit on it you can rap are sing 2 this track slid it 2 yo boy

[BrandNewSongz]

LMAO @ 5:45, it's funny to hear how the Cameraman tried to bring a vibe and his touch on the beat. haha,  then @ 6:09 , it sounds like Pharell wanted to say :

" Ooh ma gawd , give it up and shut the fuck off " xD

[19Pupp]

funni how Chad just comes in and starts to kill it on the acoustic guitar HA!!

[greenbkny]

Way better than the final product.......

[MitchellKoops]

Haha he always says HOO! when he got that nice melody for the vocals ore beat.

[8917mek]

whats the name of the song for this production?

[Persistent250808]

@8917mek Type in midnight hour natasha ramos. that's the finished product of this beat.

[Freshcream91]

pharrell is the best musician in this game :-))

[DHATV1]

As soon as Chad walks in the studio, dude picks up the guitar!! No games, just get straight down to work!

[MusicSoundPacks]

bestmusicsoundpacks(dot)weebly­(dot)com/ you like the sounds used in this video you can get em here

[STICKFIGGA15]

I am definitely a fan!!

[sakeslinks]

pharell shoulda kept this track for himself for real.....

[ahmonrah40]

@sakeslinks considering how it turned out......i'm inclined to believe you!

this shit is bangin, and her body language did not point to wanting to be heavily involved.....even chad hugo strolled in and threw some quick, hot guitar plucks in, and though the camera man CANT sing, he howled....lol!

i've been in studios plenty of times and the sessions though tiring for rtists they pulled energy from their asses if they had to...
