Kelly Clarkson covering two rock goddesses for the price of one? Sign me up.
On the latest iteration of “Kellyoke”, the Kelly Clarkson Show host and elder The voice Judge sang “Edge of Midnight”, a comrade medley The voice Red Chair alumna Miley Cyrus’ “Midnight Sky” and Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” which the pair released as a duet. Obviously, Clarkson killed him.
What you need to know about “Edge of Midnight”
Cyrus released “Edge of Midnight” in late 2020 as the fourth single from her ’80s-inspired album. Plastic hearts.
The original “Edge of Seventeen” was released in 1981 on Nicks’ first solo record after the breakup of Fleetwood Mac. The title was inspired by a conversation she had with Jane, the first wife of musician Tom Petty, who said she met the rocker when she was “17”. Thanks to Jane’s thick Southern accent, Nicks heard “edge of seventeen” and a classic was born.

“Edge of Midnight” lyrics
Yeah, it’s been a long night and the mirror is telling me to go home
But it’s been a long time since I felt this good alone (uh)
Many years have passed with my hands tied in your ropes
Forever and ever, no more (no more)
The midnight sky is the road I take
Head high in the clouds (oh, oh)
I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, I can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
Just like the white-winged dove
Sing a song, it seems like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, I said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sing a song, it seems like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, I said, ooh
Liked by you
La, la, la-la, la
Midnight
And the days pass like a thread in the wind
In the canvas that is mine, I start again
I told my friend, huh (everything stopped)
Nothing else mattered (nothing else mattered)
(no more)
The midnight sky is the road I take
Head high in the clouds (oh, oh)
I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, I can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
You see my lips on his mouth, everyone’s talking now, baby
Ooh, baby, ooh, I said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sing a song, it seems like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, I said, ooh
Falling on it, on the edge of
Seventeen
I don’t hide blurry eyes like you
Like you
I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, I can’t bite the devil on my tongue, you know
I don’t need to be loved by you
Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sing a song, it seems like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, I said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sing a song, it seems like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, I said, ooh
Loved by you, yeah
La, la, la-la, la
At midnight
You know it’s true
At midnight
Heaven (loved by you)
