Finally a prompt I can Cover.
As the title suggests I love a good cover.Both types, amazing albumn covers,and a I love a well covered song even more. As I know quite a bit of song I often pick them out when all others thought it was an original song.
I remember being a little pre-teen and my mom telling me that this song that I liked so much was done before by another artist.
An artist of her generation and I was like....WHAT?
I never imagined such a thing being possible, I thought every song was new and done by the artist...but once I learned the harsh truth....there was no way back.
No way back indeed. I loved hearing the same song in a different genre, with different voices, and different rhythms. I was hooked.
So when I just started my Midnight Gems I did a little special when I reached vol. 10.
Now I´ve just finished vol. 76 and I probably do another cover session when I reach vol.100.
The best covers you probably never heard - MidNight Gems Vol.10 - Cover Love
Easy, because it did not include my two favorite covers ever.
Well because I have spent hours searching for this next song. I know I must have the CD single somewhere, but the question is where. Most of my CDs are still in a different country.
And I knew the name of the song, but not the artist. As with many of my Midnight Gems the artist was not a big one.
So searching for After Midnight (Yes the J.J. Cale song) in whatever combi with synth, wave, cover, electro or even EMB did not return anything.
I spent many hours searching on as many platforms, until one day it was there.... on youtube .....when I was deep down another youtube loop.
I am sure I added it to one of my Midnight Gems, but I just spent another hour checking at least half of the 76 volumes and I returned empty-handed. Again.
Uhu, till I remembered that Youtube keeps your history...
I found this song back in Sep 2021. I probably lost it moving to Spain in 2007. So it was lost for 14 years, lost but not forgotten.
Resonance, now it resonates with me...again. And well it seems to be a not at all famous Dutch Band, a quick google search returned nothing. That makes it a true Gem in my book.
No, that one is short and sweet; or sours as lemon drops, away above the chimney tops.
This song was the B-Side from the Hey Jupiter cd single. I was in love with Tori already when that single was released, and she made this song sound so magical.....she sounds like a Siren,,,like a red-haired Lorelei...and I was lost to Tori forever.
Just FYI if you enjoy covers check out these guys, they do amazing covers: Melodicka Bros
Thank you Just One Thing Community #justonething for another challenging prompt, making me get out of my comfort zone niche.
