No midges this summer but there is on ttt 174
Hello music lovers and Hello hivers!
Tuesday for me on Hive means three tune tuesday...
It's Tuesday and of course that means it's inspiration time!!
I have been slacking on Hive, maybe it was the lack of summer, I don't know but I have been struggle to post more than 2 posts a week. I am probably lucky to post twice a week.
One of those posts is usually my ttt or threetunetuesday post, but as I posted a story on Sunday, which you have not read, I will leave the link Detective Softly and The Nexus Pit of Deceit It was a bit of comedy with some Hivers as the characters. I mean I can only write faction afterall.
To stop the blabbering, I was not going to bother posting today as I spent quite some time crafting that story.
But a certain young lady had said she had not posted yet as she was waiting for my ttt post!
So @deraaa as you sound well down in the dumps at the moment I have included Visions in Blue as a Bonus song afterall ...
The whole vibe is me and it had me by the hook. For some reason I also got to enjoy his voice better. Pretty much kicked up but still chill enough for me to give it my own gloom 😂
So let's have some other Midge Ure songs!
Midges in Scotland are our version of mosquitos, they are more in the West and NorthWest but they are pesky wee gobshites to coin a phrase!
Today we are looking for midges well one in particular!
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
@ablaze started #ttt 174 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post Nick Cave's Ghosteen Part IV for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 173 - win 5 HBI
Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the TWELVE sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
A collection of Midge Ure songs...
Midge Ure - If I Was
I do listen to the lyrics @deraaa and think I should apply this to me...
If I was (if I was) a wiser man (a wiser man)
Would other men (would other men) reach out and touch me
If I was (if I was) a kinder man (a kinder man)
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again
This was actually the title song of his If I was album.
I forgot just how much music he was involved in!
Next up is one of my favourites when he was with Ultravox...
Midge Ure - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
It's a Banger ... simple as
Midge Ure - No Regrets
Some more to add to some of my favourite playlists I think!
What did you think?
Bonus Tune
Ah yes Visions in Blue I did promise @deraaa so this time with a different version than the one I posted in Vienna for ttt on India Independence Day
Ultravox - Visions In Blue
Which was your favourite (if any) ? Or is it not one I played?
Note: The ~three~ four YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶

Gran trabajo amigooo
We get midges around here too, but I would almost prefer them over mosquitoes. At least they don't bite you!
hehe midges here bite and can eat you alive! Trust me they are vicious and come in swarms!
I guess we are quite lucky then!
Yeah, I lived in Ireland for 10 years, and the midges were brutal. But somehow only at certain times. As soon as it was around 10-ish (pm), they were gone. Sundown till then was horrible. Mosquitoes weren't as bad in Ireland as midges.
Okay. Thank you so much Eddie. I love the first one so much. And even if you had not written it, I would also think of you listening to this. What a beautiful melody! Oh Kay… look at me going girly mad😂
Oh a banger it is!!! A bit strong for me but I like it all the same because of the title. Reminds me of a certain someone I know… lmao! I know you know who
The last one is bit mellow for me and yeesh! I love it!!! You know how I like mellow and nostalgic thing. He don’t want her back? Awww that’s sad! But gosh! What a tune.
Oh Kay this is hard given that my favorite is here Visions In Blue. This will forever be a masterpiece to me. His voice and the words. It’s haunting and oh so beautiful.
But for this TTT, I’ll have to do with the “If I Was”. I love it and it’s my favorite for this week. Thank you for the songs Eddie.
P.S did you mean to show us perky tits?
had not heard these singers or bands until now. How nice to expand my musical repertoire. I really liked Midge Ure's lyrics - If I were. Thanks for that three (four) pieces new to me. Regards
Here too there are midges especially on the coast, Super Ed! And they can be a real nuisance hehe
I have never heard these songs before. The one I liked the most is the second one, Dancing with tears in my eyes. 🌀
Ohhh, I LOVED Midge Ure and Ultravox so much! 'If I was' is my all time favorite. I had the single, which had an awesome B side, I think it was called Piano. With, as you guessed it, just a piano playing. Sounded like a really good crime movie soundtrack to me. 'Dancing with tears in my Eyes' was a good second for me. I was a huge fan. As a teenager I decided that Midge was my future husband hahaha. So yeah, this bring me back. He wasn't the only one by the way. LOL.
Thanks for sharing this and bringing me back.
