"Midnight, the Stars and You" is a British-American popular foxtrot song written by Harry M. Woods, Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly and published in 1934.
The most famous recorded version was performed in 1934 by Ray Noble and his Orchestra with an uncredited Al Bowlly on vocals.
[3] Other recordings of this song contemporary to the Noble version are by Hal Kemp, Roy Fox, Harry Leader, Fred Hartley, and Maurice Elwin.
The Bowlly rendition was used twice in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic horror film The Shining; once in the Gold Room (ballroom) scene, and also over the closing of the film as the camera closes in the protagonist in a photograph from the early 20th century, carrying over into the credits.
The popularity of this film associated this version of the song to a sense of unease or impending menace in cinema and other media.
