1.) A metal band from Cl… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band with this name:
1.) A metal band from Cleveland, OH that formed in 2003. Originally started as a one man project of Jamie Walters (uses the moniker Athenar), though since then Bob Zeiger (uses the moniker Count Zigar) has joined on drums. As of 2012, Shaun Venek has became the guitarist for live shows but not an official member. Their sound is a combination of speed metal, punk and black metal and can be described as a mixture of Motörhead, Venom, early Discharge and early Bathory. Many label the band as black n roll.
2.) Midnight (Born John Patrick Jr. McDonald April 29, 1962 - July 8, 2009) was an American musician mostly known for being the vocalist of Crimson Glory. Midnight joined Crimson Glory in the early 1980’s, in 1986 their debut album was issued by Roadrunner Records. It took the newcomers only a couple of years to surpass their debut with an astounding sophomore effort, 1988’s Transcendence, a joint release on MCA/Roadrunner. In 1991 they signed to Atlantic Records and released Strange & Beautiful, an album which showed a commercial switch in the band’s sound. Not long after the latest release, Midnight left the band, leading to Crimson Glory’s eventual demise. The other members dispersed and became involved with various other acts. All the while, Midnight remained out of sight. Midnight, however, reappeared a few years later with a low-budget EP, which explored a more acoustic direction (only 500 copies were made). Once again, Midnight vanished and in late 2004 it was announced that he had joined forces with Black Lotus Records to release his full-length debut solo album - Sakada.
After the release of “Sakada” Midnight joined forces with a group of musicians including Matt LaPorte (RIP) who also played the ex-Savatage frontman´s band Jon Oliva’s Pain, and recorded, in addition to the “All Souls Midnight” disc, material for a covers disc and a 3-cd box of original songs, which remains unreleased.
On July 8, 2009, Midnight died of stomach aneurysm at the age of 47.

Midnight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
planting coloured flowers in the snow
before someone sees her
she's always dreaming
dreaming of a life beyond the snow
but nothing ever grows there you know
and could it be that you're the one that i've been waiting for all these years?
i think i love you sakada sakada
i think i love you sakada sakada
and could it be that after all these years you've found me waiting for you?
and could it be that you're the one that i've been dreaming of all these years?
she's always dreaming
dreaming of a life beyond the snow
but nothing ever grows there you know
and she walks like springtime
planting coloured flowers in the snow
before someone sees her
The lyrics to Midnight's song Sakada seem to be telling the story of a woman, Sakada, who walks through a snowy landscape planting colorful flowers, despite the fact that nothing grows there. She is in a constant state of dreaming of a life beyond the snow, but it seems as though her dreams may never come to fruition. This is until the singer comes along and expresses his love for her, noting that perhaps she is the one he has been waiting for all these years.
The metaphor of planting flowers in the snow is a powerful one, representing the idea of hope in the face of adversity. It's as though Sakada is bringing a bit of color and life to an otherwise bleak and barren landscape. The singer's love for her further reinforces this idea, as it suggests that even in the midst of a situation where things don't seem to be working out, there is always the possibility for love and connection to bloom.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I think I love you Sakada Sakada", further emphasizing the singer's feelings for this woman. He wonders if perhaps after all these years, they have finally found each other, and if Sakada is the one he has been dreaming of. The song ends on a hopeful note, with Sakada continuing to plant flowers and the singer expressing his love once more.
