Midnight Gems -Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 44 "The Darkness is The Origin"
Yes I like it darker, I love it dark but I did not plan this. This just happened, I was minding my own business and then this TV show started playing this song!
Leonard Cohen - Darkness
I should have seen it coming, I should have known, I should have listened. It´s gonna be a dark dark night, A night where even Snow White looks like a shadow. Welcome to my dark little Utopia Dear Dark Reader, on this strange day.
Goldfrapp - Utopia
Enjoy the silence of our dark Utopia, for now it´s just you and me and the music. Soon they all will flock to us, desecrating our sanctuary.
Illuminans - Hello Silence
It´s getting worse, the bleeding stopped, but I am covered by hard bloody crusts thanks to being offered the chance to inhabit some flesh and bones.
Laurie Black - Scars
Scars are what we are made of, walking pieces of leathery scar tissue. Thicker than skin, harder than we used to be. Made of stone, we wander through our little universe looking for salvation from the pain and darkness we experienced being housed in a human body.
Snow White In The Dark - MADE OF STONE
The world I left behind while entering this Utopia was a mass grave. Skeletons going about their business not even aware that they are the epiphany of the living dead. I opened the gate and left, I will lead the way from the fake light into the real darkness.
Because everything comes from the darkness as first there was nothing.
Dark - Skelleton Dance
I can be your Dark Angel Dear Reader, leading you back to the origin, the purest state of being. I reach out my hand, will you take it? Will you follow me? Will you understand?
VNV Nation - Dark Angel
The Time Is Now, tonight, the gates will close soon and you will be left with death and pestilence. You will be one of the few enlightened who still got left behind due to their free will.
Solar Fake - How Soon Is Now?
Wake up Dear Reader, Wake up so the world can make you sleep again....this has all been a bad dream that is what they will tell you while they pump you full with pills.
You will remember, during dark nights like this you will be crying at the moon as a lonely wolf. Fully aware that it was your choice that made you end up here...here where you never wanted to be in the first place.
Elegy of Madness - MOON

Riddle Me This
Guess What, my riddle has been solved. You are too late to make a 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.

Looks like a nice selection of songs as always. I will have to add the list and dig into it a bit more later when I get caught up on all of my commenting!
Thanks It´s a bit all over the place musically but it has a nice dark gloom so just shelf it till you really feel annoyed with the world !LOLZ

It definitely looks like a "mood". We have a huge snow storm heading our way, so maybe that will tilt the scale!
I heard, my son lives in Tenessee nowadays so my ears always are triggered when a storm or snow front is coming over there making the news over here.
Great selection. You have picked some interesting artists/ladies and they seem to have a unique style. Solar Fake was a nice mix too of The Smiths classic. Happy Friday!
I think unique is a kind way of saying a bit darkish but well you never know what rabbit hole you will fall for and this one was blinding dark!
I have not heard about any of these songs before
They really doing nice
I love them!
I can imagine they are not really radio friendly but the set has a lovely mood to it, although it´s a bit dark of course-
Thanks for sharing these amazing and intriguing songs with us. I'm glad I came across them.
