For those of you that are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing songs & covers.
For Tonight I am your DJ!
And well guess I this show has to come with a little disclaimer that it might be a bit louder than you are accustomed to. Guess that is just me getting ready to celebrate 2023, or better the end of 2022.
Oh and a little question, somebody got me thinking about not only doing a YT playlist but also a Spotify one for each show, does that sound like a great idea for 2023?
When writing a previous show I came across this piano version of Under the Milky Way. I loved it, the voice was absolutely awesome, but the piano was just too light to do the original the type of justice I would like to see it being done.
So I kindly asked the Pianoman:
I said son can you play me a melody.......
Under The Milky Way - The Church (Piano Cover)
And damn did @hanselmusic surprise me, I knew I was looking for something just a tad darker and he found what I was looking for and more. Feel free to give him a follow on or HIVE. You will do yourself a huge favor.
I am in the mood, for a very long dark night with a very Happy New Year ending
The Danse Society - 2000 Light Years From Home
Can you imagine that song is a Rolling Stone original? They sound to be trying to escape the immense universe but getting swallowed up by the darkness. Fools, if you open up to the dark there is no escape.
Euroshima - Escapando (Video Oficial)
Living in darkness is like walking in the air, ghostly and unable to solidify. A lucid dream for those that look beyond the veil and invisible to all others.
Nightwish - Walking in the Air
Did I play enough covers already? I don?t think so, this end of year show will be about me letting go and creating this crazy party, one that I probably have to enjoy by myself.
Stratovarius - Hunting High & Low
A-Ha, that sounded familiar, at least a little didn?t it? Or did you have to zap through it? If so you are forgiven, next week I will be my old me again, but as Prince would say: "Let's go Crazy and Party like it?s 2023."
BLACK SABBATH - Iron Man (CYBERPUNK/DARK SYNTHWAVE cover)
And now my friends the end is near, so let's turn up the Base and have a blast. Get ready for another 15 minutes of madness. I just started the next three songs all at the same time, and it actually is a pretty F?ed up crazy messed mix, so don?t try this at home kids.
>Das Ich > Destillat >( VNV Nation Remix)
Well, guess there are some things that Germans do very well, things such as being very LOUD.
I Kiss Your Lips
What the fluff are midnight gems?
Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that?s the place where midnight gems are found.
My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.
Who the fluff am I?
Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it?s time to finally take it to the streets.
Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.
