Did you miss me?
I was out and about, playing in the garden.
Call it what you want, I call it my KinderGarden, others call it Eden.
Nah, don´t worry, we are not gonna do that Bloody Peter Gabriel and Dead Irish girl song, but I have entered the Garden.
That is what happens when you leave Wonderland, you are kinda reborn, going back to a rebuilt origin, well, you know that kind of trivial stuff, and more.
The thing is that it feels like I am seeing everything for the first time, so let's have a look.
I Am Impresssed, @bozz mentioned these guys
And guess what I found them looking for the Garden of Eden and damn they created a divine tune.
So Peter and Sinead did Blood of Eden, and 20 years later, Eden has been burned to a crisp.
And eight years ago, Benjamin found only the ashes.... Ashes to Ashes & this song is a must.
I have not listened to these guys basically since I stopped playing in that Club, but damn this is really great, so thankful I entered Eden.
Don´t expect me to do a million songs with
in the title.
It´s all about the walk in the park, or rather the second part of the journey, that is what happens when you leave Wonderland and enter The Garden.
Then a year Later these guys went Back to the Garden, and so did I lately and I feel Crowder, this song led me by the hand and through the Gates of Eden, entering this new phase,
Nah, I know Uncle Bob has a song about Gates & Eden, but he´s just not my cup of Coco, I prefer to fill my soul with hidden gems while wandering into this Garden.
Now I am sure I am the only one who hears a slightly German accent in Eena, and it does not matter. I had to close my eyes, and all of a sudden the Garden I entered was way more creepy.
If you stumble into something new, and someone removes the light, and you do no longer see what seemed so familiar....blind in the Garden without the light that was created on the first day.
Damn that was another Gem I just tripped over, Eden seems to be full of them, although not all are as pleasant, I guess you noticed.
But what if he will not turn the light on again?
What if I entered the Garden right before it closed for good?

I mean, come on in whose name ......
Thanks, Dad, but I prefer my Garden, because whatever they did in your name does not change that I am a
I prefer finding my way back to that Tree in the Garden, that Tree that made this story, and this song:
I'm small and I know I'm youngBut life's a song that must be sungDestiny, she beats her drum All for love, all for loveAs a child, my dad told me Of a song made from a tree Now I've found her melody Is in my blood, it's in my blood
Now I can not remember that I ever played this song, but YouTube said I did, and I get I did, but how terrible if you don't remember that you did it.
But it´s a nice end to this story, even if we just got started, we just entered the gates, we do not know what is hidden here, except the few gems we uncovered today.
The Story Continues, I might have left Wonderland, but I just wandered into this Garden, and I think I will stay a while.
So what if we came back here next week, or worse, what if Chester came with me?
Nah, just kidding, I wanted to play this song before I left, and I will be back and bringing a ghost with me next week...But I don't think it´s gonna be Chester.
My son started a playlist, Stuff For Dad, and I will be adding my favorite song to my playlist for him: Songs For My Son!
Every week, I have to choose one song and tell you about it. And you, Dear Reader, tell me your favorite song in the comments, and feel free to try to change my mind.
Will this ever get easy?
It is this week, although many songs speak to and from my heart, that the last one carries a message that should never be forgotten.
Please try to change my mind! (if I still have one)
All these gems were added to this week´s YouTube playlist.
All Midnight Gems Playlist can be found here
The Spotify playlist might not capture the whole show, but it is meant to represent it as well as Spotify makes it possible:
If you want a weekly reminder, just put "Tag List" in the comments!
Thank Goodness you made it to the end...but stay tuned, there is a new Gems Session each week.
