“Midnight Song“, the new video from Dream Child, the band featuring former members of Dio, AC/DC and Quiet Riot, can be seen below. The song is taken from Dream Child’s debut album, “Until Death Do We Meet Again“, which is being released today (Friday, September 14) via Frontiers Music Srl.
The “Midnight Song” clip was directed by Jamie Brown, who has previously worked with Dokken, Lynch Mob and KXM.
Commented Craig Goldy: “When Chas West and I wrote ‘Midnight Song’, I had the music and he and I had the melody lines — but we needed a story line and a title to start the lyrics off with. Then Chas told me about an old term called a ‘midnight song.’ It’s whatever’s bugging you and keeping you from sleeping at night. Whatever that is, that’s your midnight song! I thought that was a cool premise to write about within the confines of our melody lines.”
“I think it turned out rather well. It has a bit of a Whitesnake / Deep Purple / Rainbow kinda thing going on, with a tough yet sleazy sort of feel. I’ve always liked that sort of song-element combination.”
“The video was fun,” Goldy added. “Jamie is a great director/videographer. He got a studio where there were individual rooms that had a very authentic look to them — a jail cell, an interrogation room, an apartment, bar, hospital bed and so forth. When he and I were discussing the videos, he’d pick up on things in the lyrics that I didn’t think about using as a ‘scene,’ much like he did for our first video, ‘Under The Wire’. There were a lot of great people at this shoot; we had a lot of fun, and Jamie never seemed to run out of creative ideas — especially in the post-production of this video, where his gifts really shine.”
