Midnight Radio
Inspired by the Electrifying Mojo, Midnight Radio is a short burst of late-night reverberations, inspirations, and a five-track mixtape delivered ’round midnight on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Some episodes will be available in partial form as a podcast. Many will not. But every episode of Midnight Radio will always be available in its full Technicolor glory at jamesreeves.co.
Midnight Radio
MR 22: Dreamland
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.
