Burning the Midnight Oil reflects the odd yet soothing tranquility of working late into the night. No one will bother you because they are asleep. Nothing will interrupt you because it can wait until morning. I often find I am the most productive at night-time, in fact this piece was almost exclusively written at night. I wrote Burning the Midnight Oil as a peaceful, laid back tune to reflect my nocturnal bliss.
