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.
Normally I hear a tune and look for the piano version. This week I heard a piano version and had a hard time, but eventually remembered the original.
That original was from this Dutch band, now I think they were overrated but still ....they made songs that just eat their way into your brain. So Sorry if it sticks in yours as well.
Kensington - Sorry
Now I have not watched an episode of this series, so leave a comment if you think I should. Because the only thing so far I liked from it is this well-done rip-off.
The Crown - Bittersweet Symphony
That original by The Verve was such a lovely eye-opener back in the day. That Butler guy walked so freaking cool in that vid, I wanted to walk just like him. I was in love with that walk.....
Can't Help Falling in Love feat. brooke - Tommee Profitt
Tommee Profitt is another of my go-to guys when I am looking for a dark little cover. But these next guys and dolls were new to me and they were a damn(ed) good find.
Zombie - Damned Anthem
Okay, enough cool dark covers for this nightly hour let's play some original tunes but let's keep it dark. Dark as the hounds of hell coming after you. I smell some Nick and bad seeds do you?
The Brothers Bright - Blood on My Name
Damn dark, so let´s go for something sweet. Little Jacob crying about his demons, much better than those hell hounds right?
Jacob Lee - Demons
Loving it, finally, we are back with a nice dark show. Trippin through hell, kissing Daemons and fantasizing about love that goes beyond this mortal coil.
AG - My Love Will Never Die
Loving that heavy start and now these little ghostly tunes, Holly is one of those lovely little gems you find nowhere else but in my show....even though she should be much bigger if you ask me.
Holly Macve - Wonder
Such a lovely trip this night, it was a blast we had no trouble man, we only had a great time didn´t we Dear Reader? Let me get us back home with this sweet little treat.
Electric Guest - Troubleman

What the fluff is 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.
