Turning Into Normal (What Once Felt Strange)
uploaded: Sun, Jul 21, 2013 @ 11:43 PM
This track turned into an exploration of contrasts as I took ABN’s upbeat dance madness and used it as a bed to explore the theme de jour (pretty obviously laid out in the lyrics). I didn’t know much about Analog by Nature, and still don’t really — except that they have a sense of humor, and CDK is part of the ABN crew. Needless to say, going through the ABN catalog was fun. I am not even sick of the source tracks that I used for this remix even though I must have listened to them 40,000 times by now.
Ultimately, for me this track became all about the feel which is completely grounded in ABN’s powerful grooves. Once again, I am so very grateful to Haskel (aka HEJ31) for sharing his fine guitar stylins’ with me. As far as I’m concerned, he just makes this track go in the best possible way (he plays an extended solo at the end if you listen that long). Can you guess who my sonic influence was while making this song? I’ll get the vocal stems uploaded soon, and Haskel’s guitar too. TURNING INTO NORMAL (WHAT ONCE FELT STRANGE) Are your ready? Are you ready baby? I saw the signs before I knew what they mean fires and storms — dead birds in the street towers falling and shining stars telling me how we were — showing me how we are filled with promise, filled with fear this has got to be one of the hardest years changes profound in the world and in our home releasing restless spirits that venture forth to roam into realms of fancy — into dreamy caves turning into normal what once felt strange Are you ready to know ready to see ready to let go ready to love me Are you ready to show up ready to man up ready to let me beat you way up I’ll give you my heart I’ll give you my soul You will be the man if you make me feel whole Ready to be kind Be kind to me I’ll try to open my mind so my heart will be ready Are you ready? Are you ready baby? Progress perspective possibility filter through like dust shook from memory visible in light ephemeral as sound while rusted chains emerge from roots that serve to link and ground Run along the road dark dreamy freeways turning into normal what once felt strange can we cross the threshold what truth can we obtain turning into normal what once felt strange

Editorial pickTo quote HEJ31 “This may be one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever recorded”. Sackjo22’s response was “I think you may be a bit biased”. This may be true, because HEJ31 did the killer lead work on Sackjo22’s remix of AnalogByNature but it has made me a believer. copperhead
