Why? Why?
WhyWhy?
Why no Midnight Gems!

Because I wanted to do a Birthday Party post sponsored by;

The Birthday Massacre!

This is my compensation for the Terrible 90s taste I shared yesterday!

𝑻𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒆 90𝒔 - Terrible Taste Of The ´90s

What set would I play on Bday?

Damn me for asking myself such a tough question, its gotta be a lot of everything but for some reason, I wanna start off with the Black Parade!

My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade

I never was emo, nor goth, I was cool just being me but this song.

Then talking Goth VNV Nation is one of the most inspiring bands ever.

VNV Nation - When is the Future?"

Okay, I gotta call out this guy, @hanselmusic as he has inspired this series and his tunes have helped me write so many chapters of my book.

This cover was my request, and that is one of the biggest gifts I ever got in this life!

VNV Nation - Illusion | PIANO COVER

Yes Mr Nick Cave, you wrote one of the finest lines I ever heard:

The smell of you still on my hands. As I bring the cup up to my lips.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Brompton Oratory

If I play Cave I play Tori:
#Iwastherewhenithappened

Tori and Me in 1998, damn I was so young and she was so my ginger-haired heroin.

Tori Amos @ Pinkpop Festival 1998

And I need to complete my old people top 3 with Suede and as it's my Bday, and I am so young! Don't ask me whywhy but these three mark the start of my musical journey.

Suede - So Young

To not be too much of a Boomer lets go Ren and Chin Sexy Chilla, they need to make this cut. If there is one now song that captured me this last year, or damn already years it´s this song and this guy.

Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)

And I am gonna leave you with what I compare to the goth Stairway to Heaven, this song is so dark, so cold, so filled with feeling.....I am so taken by that Cello and my mental picture of Anita.

Janus - Anita spielt Cello

Are these my all-time favs, who cares!
Taste changes with my mood, with my day, but damn I love my taste today, and this is my gift to me.

If anyone listened, I hope you picked your fav tune today and drop that in the comments instead of a congrats because I am 29 for the 29th time or so

So what would be the last song I would play on my Birthday?

Ah I am so predictable, I know. I think I played this last week but this right now feels like my theme song.

Because if I die today I will be a happy phantom. I have had such wonderful years these last couple of years.

I came from a really dark place, but things changed. My life changed. And even though I lost some loved ones in different ways, these last couple of years it is part of life.

This is how life makes you grow and discover all the different varieties out there.

I am told it´s not my time test, but really if I die today I will die happy.

Encore

If anyone ever wonders what to play on the day I will be a Happy Phantom, consider this one please!

And just in case you think I am feeling down talking about death, I am not. I just started to realize how blessed I have been with this life.

What Song to Send my Son

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.

This week I give him a bit of Molly as it is Me Boy!

Please try and change my mind!
