Midnight Gems - Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 21 "Modern Irish Crusades"

My Spread The Vibe Posts this weeks were inspired by a very special lady and I could not even play my favorite song, so I had to share it with y´all today.

The Highwayman 🎤 Loreena McKennitt

Next to High way man there seem to be High Kings that have that same Irish smile but a slightly different style.

The High Kings - Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

This next one just popped up and had nothing to do with being Irish, but it has that feel. I didn´t know what feel, but that feel. And it has a lot of ugly people in the video, both make sense after I read this;
he is known for writing the song The Angel - North London Forever which in 2022 became an anthem for Arsenal F.C. and Arsenal F.C. supporters.

Now what this next one does here I have no clue, but I found this one, and damn what a gem. Probably my biggest discovery this week.

Mythos -Purity -Icarus

Okay, I couldn´t get enough of that Irish vibe...until I read this guy is not born in Ireland. I always thought he was born and raised on the Island, as I loved his live show in Dublin.

A show that did not contain this next song-

Crusader - Chris de Burgh

Okay before I put y´all to sleep....lets play another Crusader song that surely wakes you UP!

Last Stand Sabaton - Crusade Music Video

If that was a bit too much, you might be happy that I didn´t play this Crusader song by Saxon

Let's keep crusading together tonight, you and me between the stars, fighting for whatever we believe in. But be careful dear reader between the stars there are some weird creatures, of which the dark-winged blood angels are the kindest.

Blutengel - The last crusade

You and me dear reader, can be counted as modern crusaders. Which is probably a better role than the ancient ones had, because most did not return from the promised land.

Enigma - Modern Crusaders

We are crusaders on synth, driving down those Miami highways like modern Highwaymen!

JEREMIAH KANE - THE ROAD CRUSADER

ENCORE (Gentle Reminder)

The Christians might have had their time in the sun crusading, but many forget that so this the Moors as they owned al-Andalus or at least parts of it for 700 years till the 15th century.

Riddle Me This

Guess What, My Riddle was not solved. So have a look and see if you can get that one-dollar Boost knowing this extra clue:
These songs were brought to you by a phoenix from a flame

Yes, that´s the hint....rings any bells?

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.
