Tigabeatz, who was my assignment for this secret mixter, doesn’t have a huge library of samples just yet, but I was immediately drawn to use his fantastic collection of percussion samples as the primary remix element.
The fact that the samples were in 3/4 time narrowed my focus tremendously and led me to finally finish a song (with lyrics!) that I had started writing several years ago. All the pieces are there, but my ears are exhausted and I’m out of time, so I suspect the mixing of the track is a bit sloppy. Stems and pella included. Serenity Lyrics: [ Verse 1 ] I bought a brand new car today I drive it 45 miles each way To a place that is not my home And a life that is not my own But I like the pay Nobody dreams of responsibility Or holding down a 9-5 eternity Of incorporated slavery [ Chorus ] But I… Won’t worry about The things that I can’t change But the things I can I pray that I Can find the strength to modify And compromise And I… I hope that in time I can come to know the difference Serenity [ Verse 2 ] But I do just what I can Though money tumbles out my hands And time is a currency That I just don’t see Anymore Is the future still unlimited? Are dreams still worth dreaming? The eyes of a child are shining Looking up at me [ Chorus ]
