Damn if I have had an unappealing title it´s this week.
Last week I did a nice old-school semi-goth-wave show:
𝕄𝕚𝕕𝕟𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝔾𝕖𝕞𝕤 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 - E08 Tunes At The Dead Of Night
This time I had a plan, and
That is what happens a lot with my Midnight Plans, I think I know where the trip is going and then I end up in a totally different galaxy, as if I took acid instead of shrooms.
I hope you're ready to take a trip with me tonight!
Anyway, it turned out to be an awesome journey starting nice and slow with elderly mothers. Goosebumps from the start, but I will not go ancient Celtic on you all night, worries.
Why do I always end up feeling happy after a song like that???
Jesus, Jodie ..... Job well done, first song of an EP and I want so much more. Why only 5K views?? Who does your socials? Fire them, this is crazy good.
No, we are not doing just girls tonight, I told you we will be doing Boy George. Raphael is no boy, but boy do I like a simple small tune like this.
I guess I am the only person here that sees Lolli Wren, and thinks oh the Lola Rennt Soundtrack was a nice one....
This might be my Gem of the week, three days old and so fine. Yes, I know we are starting slow but stick with me and I will make it worth your while.
Not sure where Chrisi is from but I had to put this song in the fridge for two months because over here it does not get cold till November.
But I don´t mind putting her on ice, because a voice like that warms my ears.
Talking about a great voice, this song is another competitor for my song of the week. Part of that Chorus feels so perfectly ´80s, pride taking me to the grave...I can relate but this is a highway song.....run Anna run.
Seriously???
I blinked trice when I saw this:
The "Godfather of Goth" playing with Boy George, Bauhaus meets Culture Club ...
She is in Karma Chameleon Parties... OMG.
The biggest surprise was that the song is actually quite decent
If I can get away with The Elders and their mothers, what is there to stop me from playing with fire...and firemages that turn the wheel?
The only problem is that this song is just too short, guess the wheel of time was stopped too soon.
You all know I prefer piano and good lyrics but once every now and then YouTube puts a song in front of you that you just have to give the credits....
If the name sounds familiar just Google Megadeath.....although from memory this does not sound Mega Deadly at all.
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 had a hard time but that Firemage song seems to have it all....let me know what song you think I should send to my son.
Please try and change my mind!
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 is meant to represent it as well as Spotify makes it possible:
Guess What, my riddle wasnt solved!
So here is an extra hint....something about the other side
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.
