Dreamland
from Midnight Radio · host James A. Reeves
Some of tonight’s songs are about heaven, some are about hell, and perhaps this is what all dreams are ultimately about. Listen to Charlie Megira’s guitar, more alive and determined than his voice, grasping for something we know but cannot define. An Israeli guitarist whose life was brief and tragic, Megira was “a mold-breaking artist who disintegrated while we were all staring at our phones.” In the final minute of ‘Tomorrow’s Gone’, I like to think he’s saying “my heart to heaven” even though he’s singing in Hebrew. It makes a nice transition to Midwife, who reminds us that the hounds of heaven run like hell.Charlie Megira - Tomorrow’s GoneDa Abtomatic Meisterzinger Mambo Chic | 2001 | BandcampMidwife & Vyva Melinkolya - Hounds of HeavenOrbweaving | Heaven Metal, 2023 | BandcampEnsemble Economique - Your Lips Against MineMelt Into Nothing | Denovali, 2014 | BandcampWindy & Carl - LighthouseDrawing of Sound | Blue Flea, 1996 | BandcampFüxa - Dreamlanding3 Field Rotation | Mind Expansion, 1995 | BandcampRead the full post with a complete inventory of dreams.The request lines are open.Enjoy life and get the full Midnight Radio experience delivered directly to your inbox ’round midnight on the 1st and 15th of each month.
