Just the album title "Sadness Sets Me Free" and this weird melancholic song, I just needed to play it before I forgot.
Gruff Rhys - Bad Friend
Talking about sweet melancholy it sounds like the Eels are back, this voice brings back days long forgotten, but once the song breaks it´s Eels+ if you ask me. Not sure if it gets me into the lightness as I do feel a bit gloomy.
Close Talker - From Dark to Lightness
Nope, I tried to find the lightness but was stopped by this doorway ghost that came from a funeral party. She reminded me of a Goth Blondy remake and even sounded a bit like that, although I love the sound Goth & Sax that is a first....and that is a sax right?
Rosegarden Funeral Party - "Doorway Ghost"
You see I am still stuck in that darkness and then I see three crosses, well that is a dead giveaway I know what kind of night this is gonna be. Question? Is it just me or do more people get a NIN meets Depeche mode feel with this next song?
††† (Crosses) - Invisible Hand
Now even if it was a bad song starting your video with this message:
Warms My Heart!
Then talking about a Divine Illusion only makes me more curious, they won me over in 20 secs.
THE DEVILS - Divine Is The Illusion
Bad Friends and putting an end to humanity I guess that is indeed the mood I am in tonight. Where do I dig up songs like this, what algorithm is feeding my rotting brain, and does he have a hand in it?
Let's cheer us up before I make the darkness swallow us up .....again.
Bridge City Sinners - Devil Like You
Yup, the devil is back, but my goodness can she sing. Sounds like Alanah Myles had a love child with Doro Pech, this sounds so nice. As if it was made 20 years ago and forgotten about, simply awesome and I am sure we are not in Kansas anymore!
Dorothy - Rest In Peace
So I was going down this diabolical rabbit hole fast and then got hold up, I saw something that looked familiar. I put my nose against it and it smelled, it smelled like Peter Steel but better.
Not saying the song is better, he just smelled worse but this cover is a little gem in my book. However, it could be a hopeless mistake.
DEATHLESS LEGACY - Christian Woman (Type O Negative Cover)
We had the devil, we had nuns, so what comes next? Pirates?
Why not Pirates?
Of course, it´s a bit of a gimmick but hey they tickle my.....ears for some (not so) weird reason.
Pirate Queen - Pirates From The Sea
These girly sailors send my mind in a spin back to an album I adored many years ago. And I just found that they are still going strong, so not everything in life breaks up at some point ....does it?

Riddle Me This
Guess What, my riddle has been solved. You are too late to make an easy dollar, better luck next time!
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.
