I re-recorded an old song of mine, from my back catalog if you will. I wanted to employ some of my newer mixing skills to do the idea of the song justice. I think I'm happy with the results. First track is a 2018 version of the song, hot off the presses. Second track is a 2008 version. 



I imagine this song being the hit song of the summer. Where you hear it on the beach blaring out of boomboxes as volleyballs spray sand at your feet, where cars fly by in the sweltering heat with this song reeling in some doppler effect warble. Then by summer's end you are so sick of the song being cued up at all locations in your milieu, that you wish you never heard it in the first place, but deep down inside you still love the song...deeply, madly, truly. 

Lyrics: 

I hear my soulmate whistlin' like a tea kettle 
Playin' that seductive game 
Runnin' through the meadow 
Amongst the flower petals 
She likes to swing on the swingset 
Singin' 90s hit songs! 

How do you unfold your music? 
Have you got a computer 
Synched up to an auto-tuner? 

I got psychedelic in the summer 
Man, it was a bummer 
When the leaves turned black 
I tried to reach you 
But my limbs were broken! 

How do you unfold your music? 
Have you got a computer 
Synched up to an auto-tuner? 

Like a light 
At the end of a tunnel 
I hear my soulmate whistlin' like a tea kettle 
Playin' that seductive game 
Runnin' through the meadow 
Amongst the flower petals 
She likes to swing on the swingset 
Singin' 90s hit songs! 

How do you unfold your music? 
Have you got a computer 
Synched up to an auto-tuner?
