An average everyday middle aged guy with a passion for 80s and 90s alternative, New Wave, electronica, synthpop, synthwave, DarkWave and Celtic music. Just a fan, not a pro.Yes, my videos started off rather rudimentary and my style and skill set evolved over the years.You gotta crawl before you walk, and walk before you run. I refused to monetize my channel because I ethically could not make money off the music of people I admire and respect, so CZcams came along and blocked me from ever monetizing anything while they make money placing ads on my videos. This is a hobby and outlet for my creative juices; a passion project I guess, and definitely a labor of love. If you enjoy my work, thank you very much. If you're a subscriber, I doubly thank you. Drop a line any time!

Erasure - Precious
Such a pretty melody...somehow it always reminds me of a summer beach sunset and moonrise.

Nitzer Ebb - Lightning Man (The Industry vs The Ebb Mix)

The song that first got me into Nitzer Ebb at Club Roxx in Eislingen, Germany...the song that gave me my nickname...the unofficial yet official theme song of this channel...how has it taken me this many years to finally make my own video for it? Big shout out to the legendary Al Minns and Leon James who danced their asses off. Phonographic Copyright ℗ © - 1990 Mute Records Ltd. Published By - D...
Happy Mondays - Hallelujah (Club Mix)
zhlédnutí 347Před měsícem
When this track was released I wasn't really into the Madchester sound. It was too much drug-fueled faux psychedelia for my tastes at the time. The closest I got to Manchester's club scene was New Order. I was too much of a New Wave synth junkie, crossed with a little goth and industrial. The two biggest bands of the movement, Happy Mondays and Stone Roses, that wasn't club music to me at 20 ye...

Most of the time when I make a video, I pick a song that I grew up on. For newer songs I pick ones I find mostly by accident either on SiriusXM or on TikTok. In this case however, the artist found me and asked me to listen to this song. It is a captivating instrumental, very cinematic in its feel...so of course I had to ask if I could make a video for it! I encourage you all to give his work so...

Back in early 1988 while I was in a training school for the Army, I bought the cassette for OMD's Greatest Hits and first heard this song, so it holds a special place in my memories. This particular remix by the legendary William Orbit was only available on a special limited edition 10" vinyl single. All copyrights are ©1988 P&C Virgin Records LTD. and published by Virgin Music.

Glass Spells - Confessions (Night Drive Video)

Glass Spells is a great synthpop act from SoCal that you need to check out. They have a retro feel while still sounding very fresh and modern. I discovered them on TikTok by a fortunate chance and this song in particular is quite addictive. I encourage y'all to check them out. In one of their TikToks they mentioned that many of their fans said the song has a "night drive" feel to it so I decide...
Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North of Richmond
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed 10 měsíci
Ther second I heard this incredible anthem of hard-working Americans, I knew I had to do a video for it. The song resonates with folks not just in America but worldwide, people tired of busting their asses for chicken feed while rich politicians get richer and more out of touch with the average person as they piss away our tax dollars... The song reaches across all lines of politics and race wi...
Depeche Mode - Halo (The Strongest Mix In The Universe)
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 10 měsíci
Firstly: this is not my remix. I make videos, not remixes. I believe it was done by Maxim Kammerer, or at least that's where I found it, on his channel. There was a very cleverly edited video for it using footage from the DEVOTIONAL DVD, but I wanted to give it my own treatment. Special thanks to the artists at ARTGRID, which is where I get a lot of my footage. Original copyrights: 1990 ©&℗ - M...
U2 - New Year's Day (St. Francis Hotel Remix)
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 10 měsíci
The classic, re-imagined. I like that this remix adds some cool synth grooves and enhances the song while still keeping the feel and "bones" of the original 1983 version from the War album. I'm not certain but I do think this may have been the first u2 song I ever heard, just before I started high school. This remix was for a 2019 Record Store Day release, limited to 5000 copies pressed, called...

A bit of a departure from my usual fare, but his music is quite interesting. I thought I'd give it a more cinematic and dramatic treatment to compliment the original 2020 in-the-studio video. Besides, Mrs. Lightning Man is a huge fan of his and asked me to try my hand at doing a video for one of his songs.

A quote from the band: “Our job as artists is to make people feel something but most importantly it is our job to make people feel like they are not alone.” Big thanks to @TheAmericanLoveStory for letting me do this. I found this song quite by accident in my TikTok feed and was captivated instantly and that's not an easy thing to do at my age. It had the nostalgic feel of the synth music I grew...

zhlédnutí 2KPřed rokem
Such a beautiful, atmospheric and somewhat sad song. I remember buying the 12" single in Germany based solely on the gorgeous sleeve art; I'd seen it so many times in the shops whilst perusing the singles and I had remembered I enjoyed seeing The Mission open for The Cure at the Rock Am See Festival at the Bodensee Stadium on Lake Konstanz in June of 89 so I figured I'd like it. I was right. A ...

'Girl on a Motorcycle' was a truly terrible film.
I both respect and hate the fact you had to put all that in the description to avoid a copyright.. this is a song I haven't heard since my dad was alive nearly thirty years ago.. thank you.. I think I am gonna make my mother cry tomorrow hahahah, I don't think she's heard this since she was young and he was alive.. happy tears is the aim though..👍❤️👍
Brother, I appreciate the love. I'm glad my simple video was able to bring you a good memory.
Also, my newer videos have an even snarkier disclaimer
Stunning song stunning singer RIP Shane

Has civilization not learned from the history of other lives that gave the ultimate sacrifice. 😢😢❤ ty brave men and women ty.
The true hard cruel reality of war all in one song. Sad when it's your son that need to take part.
Very, very good. Saved to one of my playlists. 👍👍
The British liked to slaughter their commenwealth troops as much as their own. Senseless waste of men.
Great remix! 👏🏻
Precious and fragile things need special handling. 🌹
Whenever people ask "what is the most tragic song ever?", this one is top of mind.
A sad and savage song
Anyone else here from This American Life episode 831?
Great song from the cowboy album .....too bad it was never a single
Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing!! 😊
Damn she was hot. She still has it but damn back then, she was hot!
Exactly
Interesting visuals. 😣 This world we live in! Glad you made it back (in the 80s)… 🙏😎✌🏻
How this wasn’t an A side is beyond me
Legendary song , sound and band ..
It might be a Aussie song but it takes a Irish man to sing it 🇮🇪🇦🇺
"The old men still answer to the call, but year after year their numbers get fewer, some day no one will march there at all." If you keep a dry eye hearing this song, your stronger than most.

L'armée Française d'Orient étais aux cotés des Australiens et des Britanniques. Une boucherie de plus de la 1er guerre mondiale!!
17 year old in 1989 and I cried more with this track then any other. It hit deep in my heart then and as a 52 yr old I still tear up. I'm still looking for where my true love is.
Agree
Wouw das verstehe ich unter einem Remix 🫵🏻🫨 Weltklasse 👍🏼
You really know who your friends are when the agree to fight and die for you. respect.

Saddened 🍀 Excellent 👌 Our SHANE ❤️🍀
The best , most passionate version of this anthem. My great uncle Henry went, died , lost soul at lone pine. Knowing my Irish ancestry, he'd been looking forward to someone like Shane to share the story. RIP the two of ya

The photographs are very well chosen, to illustrate the various segments of the lyrics. Actually - much better than the Eric Bogle version singing by himself.

„But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared - and then turned their faces away.“ Imagine going through the horrors of the battles and then being received home like this…
SUPER WYSMIENITY MIX DM 👍🫶
BTW, I'm a Christian but none of these kooks represent me or my God.
Feinian leaning Irish should not be allowed to sing this song.In Australia they backstabbed the Anzac's and the war effort.
And I haven't felt so alive.........In years.......
Definitely one of their best Brings back so many memories of clubbing in the 80s. Cant believe its 39 years ago.
