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.
Let´s start with one of my all-time favorite singers ..... in a version I just discovered and will kick tonight off in a sleeping with ghosts fashion.
1. Brett Anderson feat. Emmanuelle - Back To You
Emma´s whispers are like ghostly kisses adding that little darkness to the song....let´s dive a bit deeper into that midnight melancholy.....such darkness ...such words.
2. Ghostly Kisses - Such Words
Save me, lord have mercy on my rotten dark soul.....send me your favorite Archangel send me Gabrielle for my salvation.
3. Gabrielle Aplin - Salvation
Only that angel knows my darkest secrets.....my mistakes....my fuck ups.
4. Maria Mena - Secrets
Would there still be a lord that could be my savior..... or would I never enter the gates of heaven....cold shivers manifest themselves throughout my long-gone corpse.
5. London Grammar - Lord It's A Feeling
My ghost is walking her hallway ....searching for the only thing that can revive me...her beating heart...her love ....the only love I ever knew.
6. Kristin Hersh - Your Ghost
Well it´s time to pick up some speed I guess.... because this night with it´s thin veil is coming to it´s end and will silence me for yet another year....till you and I will rise again.
7. Keane - Silenced By The Night
Death...don´t comes easy to me...no love no glory...I am watching you while you sleep and I can´t take my eyes off of you.....and so it is.....so I slowly faint away...but won´t take my eyes off of you.
8. Lorrainville - The Blower's Daughter (feat. Anneke van Giersbergen & Casper Adrien)
All of the tracks we traced, we raced to reach the sun
All of the lights to find a place where we belong
All I know is that, with you, I'm moving on
'Cause all of the days out, all of the days out on the run
And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Don't you love it? How it all, it all just fades away
9. Avicii - Fades Away ft. Noonie Bao

What the fluff are 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 slightly confronting wave of amazing music and you still feel like joining me on the next special edition trip as vol.40 of Midnight Gems is coming soon.
