YES! Love that end of summer vibe… perfect urmymuse backing for this! This is one of those mixes that feels like it was originally conceived together. SO COOL!

I was slightly inspired by the Cure on this…and the whole English pop goth rock scene during that time. I guess it came through, that bittersweet longing vibe.

what can I say - just a perfect fit here. Wonderful lyrics fitting perfectly.

Thanks. The hardest part was making the vocals fit into an already produced mix. I tried using the stems but I ended up just using the original. I’m glad it fit in well enough for a listen. I’d remix the whole thing from the beginning if I had the chance.

spinningmerkaba and urmymuse are a magical combination!!! your vocal performance is so Bono-like (a huge compliment in my mind). beautiful imagery in your lyrics. this one goes on your next album….

Thanks! I’m blown away by the Bono reference. I don’t hear that, maybe the early stuff?

It’s like being compared to Hendrix as a guitarist. Whew!

Thanks!

Holy crap- the synchronicity between your mutual remixes is eerie yet marvelous. Love the Robert Smith-like melancholy tingeing your choices; great work.

It’s a beautiful coincidence. RIght down to the uploading of our mixes, back to back. Is someone trying to tell us something?

Always love it when mixters draw each other. Some secret subconcience communication happening here.
Very catchy, straight out of a 90s radio playlist

Thanks Scomber!

I woke up this morning from a dream where we were all singing a track together in the studio. Hmmm?

I would have to agree with that! Thanks. Your stylings would add an extra edge too. Maybe someday!

Love this track! It reminds me of days driving up the coast in a convertible, feeling uplifted just by seeing the ocean.

I see a sunset in my mind was searching for lyrics…and the whole song came from that.

Now i see stones skipping on the water.

For me this remix is one of those rare ones that I can listen to without a lot of self criticism. It works.

Thanks for listening!

Sweet taste of urmymuse with a touch of spinningmerkaba :)
Oh, this is nice! It embodies that end of summer feel so well!
I’m telling you, this is how it feels towards the end of a vacation.
You’re all, “let’s do as much as we can before it ends.” So true.
Just wish this track was longer :)
Great job! Love the vocals too :)
