Cover - Cover Lover
Finally a prompt I can Cover.
As the title suggests I love a good cover.Both types, amazing albumn covers,and a I love a well covered song even more. As I know quite a bit of song I often pick them out when all others thought it was an original song.
I remember being a little pre-teen and my mom telling me that this song that I liked so much was done before by another artist.
An artist of her generation and I was like....WHAT?
I never imagined such a thing being possible, I thought every song was new and done by the artist...but once I learned the harsh truth....there was no way back.
No way back indeed. I loved hearing the same song in a different genre, with different voices, and different rhythms. I was hooked.
So when I just started my Midnight Gems I did a little special when I reached vol. 10.
Now I´ve just finished vol. 76 and I probably do another cover session when I reach vol.100.
The best covers you probably never heard - MidNight Gems Vol.10 - Cover Love
So why do it again?
Easy, because it did not include my two favorite covers ever.
Why were they not included
Well because I have spent hours searching for this next song. I know I must have the CD single somewhere, but the question is where. Most of my CDs are still in a different country.
And I knew the name of the song, but not the artist. As with many of my Midnight Gems the artist was not a big one.
So searching for After Midnight (Yes the J.J. Cale song) in whatever combi with synth, wave, cover, electro or even EMB did not return anything.
I spent many hours searching on as many platforms, until one day it was there.... on youtube .....when I was deep down another youtube loop.
I am sure I added it to one of my Midnight Gems, but I just spent another hour checking at least half of the 76 volumes and I returned empty-handed. Again.
Did you lose the darn song again?
Uhu, till I remembered that Youtube keeps your history...
I found this song back in Sep 2021. I probably lost it moving to Spain in 2007. So it was lost for 14 years, lost but not forgotten.
RESONANCE - After Midnight
Resonance, now it resonates with me...again. And well it seems to be a not at all famous Dutch Band, a quick google search returned nothing. That makes it a true Gem in my book.
And that second one, again such a long story?
No, that one is short and sweet; or sours as lemon drops, away above the chimney tops.
Tori Amos - Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Live)
This song was the B-Side from the Hey Jupiter cd single. I was in love with Tori already when that single was released, and she made this song sound so magical.....she sounds like a Siren,,,like a red-haired Lorelei...and I was lost to Tori forever.
Just FYI if you enjoy covers check out these guys, they do amazing covers: Melodicka Bros

I no longer have any records or cds but I do remember the good old days when appreciating an album cover was all part of the experience.
I had to leave my records and most cd´s behind, but the experience of taking a piece of vinyl carefully out the cover and seeing that shiny black disc....I plan one day to return that experience in my life.
Original copy of Sticky Fingers with the real zip was a very fond memory, I believe its still in the family :)
That is one that my mom is still holding onto, but one day it will be mine! !CTP

Thanks for the tune recommendations. I was also shocked when I discovered the covers of old songs!! a classic fail was when the Prodigy came back with a .. yes cover!
Ghost Town?
Warriors Dance:
I didnt know that was a cover .... Guess I am getting old,,,just FYI my fav prodigy song:
good choice, i like it.
my fav is probably:
That was indeed the Saturday night crowd-pleaser back in my DJ days
When I first saw the title I wasn't thinking of album covers at all. I was thinking about being in my bed under the cover of sheets, blanket and comforter. I didn't know what it was till I clicked on it.
Records and album cover art never even crossed my mind.
You covered it well though and it shows that this is a topic about which you are passionate.
!CTP
Thank you and very passionate indeed, and that is so cool about 1 word prompt what a word means to one person might never even resonate with another. But Very nice feedback thanks !CTP
You're welcome, @whywhy! Thanks for sharing your passion with the community. It's always fun to see what other people here are into. Enjoy your day.😀
I still have about 100 33's but no record player. It didn't make it in the last move.
I know that feeling I left about 400 behind when leaving my home country, not sure with whom...hope it´s not with my ex father in law :=)
