The Bollock Brothers - Harley David Son of a Bitch (DJ Buellers Resurrection Mix) TheLightningMan 2024-09-23 | This song always made me laugh. It was just so preposterous and over the top so I did this one for the fun of it. Before embarking on the project, however, I contacted Aaron Scofield, DJ Bueller himself, and asked if I could use his remix for the video and he graciously approved, so I give him my thanks. And on his suggestion, I even included a couple bits of French singer Serge Gainsbourg, who originally did the song.

Depeche Mode - Ghost (Le Weekend Mix) TheLightningMan 2024-09-02 | This remix was originally found on a special download-only compilation from German label Saturn Markt and later turned up on the Remixes 2: 81-11 compilation. The song itself came from the sessions for Sounds of the Universe. Yes, I took the ending of this video from the official video for the Stargate Mix of Personal Jesus.

Peter Godwin - Images Of Heaven (Razormaid Mix) TheLightningMan 2024-08-13 | This is one of those rare songs that I didn't discover until I was in my 40's. Somehow when I was my younger self, in the heyday of New Wave, I simply had never heard this remarkable track, possibly because in 1982 I was 13 and just discovering New Wave, synthpop, and electronica and lacked a dedicated outlet for the genre like KROQ in LA or WDRE/WLIR in NY. Instead, I discovered this on Sirius 33 First Wave, and loved it. In light of how the internet, with all of its ready availability of salacious images, can drive one to unhealthy obsessions with people who either are just there to titillate you for money or aren't even real people but rather AI generated fantasies, the song is even more salient today than it was 40 years ago, and that's kinda the angle I went for. I hope I succeeded.Copyright © ℗ 1982– Polydor Ltd.

Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow Wendy TheLightningMan 2024-07-31 | This song written and originally recorded by Wall of Voodoo's Andy Prieboy as the lead single from his 1990 solo album Upon My Wicked Son. Prieboy recorded the song as a duet with Johnette Napolitano, as he felt the song needed a woman's voice in addition to his own. Originally he wrote a total of 27 verses for the song and then whittled them down to three. After recording the vocals on Prieboy's version, Napolitano was so moved by the song that she asked for permission to record the song with Concrete Blonde. And, due to the vagaries of recording and release dates, the version here by Concrete Blonde actually came out first by a couple months. "Tomorrow, Wendy" was the closing track on Bloodletting because the band considered it to be "the blackest song on the record", and really, this is probably the darkest and most depressing video I've ever made. The song was inspired by the suicide of a woman Prieboy had known from a childhood growing up in East Chicago, Indiana. Wendy later turned to prostitution and drugs, and when she was diagnosed with HIV, she decided to commit suicide by taking a heroin overdose rather than go on to die from AIDS-related complications. Dark indeed, hence the video is just as bleak.Please, if you're still reading this and are in a bad place, seek help. Talk to someone. There's always hope and a better way out of the darkness.

Depeche Mode - Something To Do TheLightningMan 2024-07-27 | I've always loved the frenetic energy of this song, and such a brilliant opener for an album that first introduced me to DM and was the gateway to solidifying my love of synth music and the new wave genre in general. There's almost a feeling of psychotic claustrophobia, a need to scream from within to feel alive, to escape the tedium of the workaday subsistence and then a sudden cutoff, like jolting awake from a fever dream.

Happy Mondays - Hallelujah (Club Mix) TheLightningMan 2024-05-10 | 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 years of age. However... this particular mix was given to me on a mix tape sent to me by a pen-pal I met through the Depeche Mode Fan Club, and she said that this song was played in the arena before the Depeche Mode gig she saw in 1990. I held on to that cassette for years. Now that I'm an aging Gen X guy, I've grown to appreciate the Madchester genre a bit.

Vicent Goth - A Beautiful Sad Night TheLightningMan 2024-03-12 | 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!

OMD - Dreaming (William Orbit 10 Mix) TheLightningMan 2023-10-12 | 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.

Glass Spells - Confessions (Night Drive Video) TheLightningMan 2023-09-03 | 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 decided to play on that theme and borrowed some snippets from a couple of their existing videos to round out the footage.

Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North of Richmond TheLightningMan 2023-08-22 | 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 with its brutal honesty and plainspoken delivery full of pain and disillusionment.

Depeche Mode - Halo (The Strongest Mix In The Universe) TheLightningMan 2023-08-12 | 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.

U2 - New Years Day (St. Francis Hotel Remix) TheLightningMan 2023-08-05 | 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 The Europe EP.Mixed By Andrea Lepori, with engineer Paul Thomas assisted by Kevin Killen.Licensed To – Interscope RecordsCopyright ℗© – Universal Music Operations Ltd.Published By – Universal Music Publishing B.V./Mother MusicFAIR USE NOTICE: This channel contains copyrighted material the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Jelly Roll - Save Me (acoustic) TheLightningMan 2023-07-26 | 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.

The American Love Story - Freaks TheLightningMan 2023-07-15 | 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 up on but sounded modern and fresh and new. It was just begging for a video and my mind started thinking of slow-motion clubbing... so I asked the band if I could do one and they graciously said, "Sure". I hope I did the song justice, and I hope you'll check out and support the band. Again, thanks go out to Dave, Brian, Fill and Ray. Also, thanks to Artgrid, where most of this footage originated.© ℗ 2023 Only In Us Records LLCtheamericanlovestory.comFAIR USE NOTICE: This channel contains copyrighted material the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

The Mission UK - Butterfly On A Wheel (The Magnificent Octopus Mix) TheLightningMan 2023-04-23 | 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.

Depeche Mode - Carolines Monkey (Album Version) TheLightningMan 2023-03-24 | Not gonna lie; when i first heard the title of this song I was skeptical. I expected to dislike it. Instead, it actually grabbed hold of me pretty quickly and I immediately understood it was about addiction and how it's a monkey on your back. It's a subject Dave and Mart are both familiar with. I knew I had to make a video, and it all flowed together in less than two hours. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with addiction I urge you to not bear this burden alone. There's a myriad resources available to help you recover. As always, I do not own the copyrights to this recording.

Depeche Mode - Wagging Tongue (Album Version) TheLightningMan 2023-03-23 | It's been a long time since a DM track has grabbed me so intensely and so immediately. Track two from the album Memento Mori, a rare collaborative write from Dave and Mart together, it's a brilliant return to the more synth-inflected tunes of an era that I thought they'd never visit again.

REISS - Kanta (Original Version) TheLightningMan 2023-01-08 | Perhaps the most innovative and catchy song I discovered in 2022 was this amazing track by Claus Reiss, a self-described bagpipe comedian from Denmark. A brilliant hybrid of bagpipes and techno, I discovered it by accident one afternoon on TikTok while driving home after work. After playing it on repeat for nearly an hour I decided I had to try making a video for it.

Erasure - Tragic (Original Instrumental Version) TheLightningMan 2023-01-08 | The amazing B-side track to the "Always" single, originally released in this instrumental version and then later showing up with a vocal version. I decided to make a version to cover both mixes, identical in visual content and differing only in audio content. It's such a sad melancholy piece, yet lushly orchestrated and easily one of my favorite Erasure tracks. The cadence always reminded me of a waltz and so this is the theme I went for.To give fair recognition of the footage I used in this video, some of it was taken from André Rieu performing Johann Strauss' 'Emperor Waltz' (Kaiser-Walzer) live in Maastricht 2012 specifically from the DVD "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

TALK - Run Away To Mars (Unofficial Video) TheLightningMan 2022-12-19 | Such a beautiful song, and while the original video is well done unto itself I couldn't help but see my own vision of it listening to it over and over in the car on my daily commute. I hope I did it justice. I included actual NASA footage from Mars and kindly thank the contributors at Artgrid for additional footage used.

Mr Kitty - After Dark TheLightningMan 2022-09-20 | Not gonna lie, kids: I agonized over making this video. I discovered the song by accident in July of 2022 through a TikTok clip, a full 8 years after the song was released. I was instantly hooked by the captivating moodiness and pulsing groove. Doing a little research on the artist, I discovered the, um, problems and controversy he is embroiled in and that's why I was at first reluctant to do a video for the song. I love the song but cannot condone his actions.But, really, no truly decent fan videos existed that weren't scenes from popular movies and I was damned if I was gonna let the opportunity pass when apparently the most popular fan video out there was a montage of a Jennifer Connelly film, especially since the same movie footage is used in a video for the immortal "Space Age Love Song" by A Flock of Seagulls. In my humble yet correct opinion, After Dark deserves better than what the public so far has provided.In an interview I read with Mr. Kitty (Forrest Avery Carney), he stated he was okay with fan-made videos because he's still getting paid for the views, so hopefully he'll like the more cinematic approach I tried to achieve to accompany this absolutely sublimely beautiful song should he happen upon my version.

Depeche Mode - The Sun And The Rainfall (Black Light Odysseys Further Excerpts) TheLightningMan 2022-08-14 | The brilliant remix by Black Light Odyssey from the Remixes 81-11 extras MP3 package. Probably the best of the new/unreleased mixes that came out with that massive cash-grab by the band and by Mute, knowing full well how bad DM fans are as remix whores. Yes, I've done a video previously for a bootleg unofficial remix back when I first started doing videos but this mix is just superb. I stayed with the wheat field theme I used before but updated it.

Til Tuesday - Coming Up Close TheLightningMan 2022-08-12 | Such a great song, a true lost gem from my high school days. I loved this song so much more than Voices Carry, mostly because between Top 40 radio and MTV they bludgeoned me over the head with the song.

Erasure - Tenderest Moments TheLightningMan 2022-07-20 | Some of Erasure's best songs are the B-sides, and despite their well-earned reputation for dancefloor classics, their ballads are every bit as awesome.

Erasure - Catch-22 (Version 2) TheLightningMan 2022-06-22 | Perhaps my favorite track from the tragically-underappreciated Loveboat album. The album had some great songs but suffered from zero support by Maverick, their American label at the time, and dreadful mixing and production from Flood, who is usually an absolute genius. I debated myself a lot over whether to leave the video in color or do it in my usual black and white...so I've uploaded both.

U2 - Ultra Violet (Light My Way) TheLightningMan 2022-06-18 | One of U2's hidden gems, an absolutely gorgeous treasure from Achtung Baby that sounded more lkike a U2 single than The Fly or Mystrerious Ways or Even Better Than The Real Thing. The strings, the soaring vocals, the jangly guitars....this is U2 at their very best.Record Company – Bertelsmann Music GroupDistributed By – BMG RecordsDistributed By – BMG AriolaPhonographic Copyright ℗1991 – Island Records Ltd.Copyright ©1881 – Island Records Ltd.Published By – Blue Mountain Music Ltd.FAIR USE NOTICE: This channel contains copyrighted material the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (The Vampire Song ) full album version TheLightningMan 2022-06-13 | It's dark. It's moody. It's brooding. It pulses and throbs and is just a little spooky. One hell of a starter to a great album, when vampires were still from Bourbon Street and didn't shimmer in the sunlight.

Depeche Mode - (Set Me Free) Remotivate Me (Release Mix) TheLightningMan 2021-09-06 | The epic remix to the B-side of Master & Servant, and one of the last purely bouncy poppy songs the band would record before going darker with sessions that led to Black Celebration. After this, only But Not Tonight and Pleasure Little Treasure were happy purely pop tracks without a dark edge. But it's dancey as hell, and so I went overboard with it. Of course, as always, I do not own the copyrights to this recording.

Heaven 17 - Dont Fear The Reaper TheLightningMan 2021-07-03 | Who needs more cowbell when you've got synths and Heaven 17? Released in 2004, I admittedly hadn't even heard this cover until 2021 while watching an old episode of True Blood, and even then I thought it was a remix of the Apollo 440 cover until I looked it up. Still, it's a fun version and a good time.The video features clips from an episode of the TV series "Boris Karloff's Thriller" entitled "The Grim Reaper". Yes, that is a young William Shatner hamming it up and chewing the scenery. The Grim Reaper is Episode 37 of the series.
