Grateful Dead Influenced Remix

 

This remix features Joe Bone's lyrics and lead vocals.  I played "the Grateful Dead" which was really a great trip down memory lane.  Jerry is a huge influence on my playing as well as all the players in the band.  I didn't realize how infused their style was in my psyche until I started recording this.  If you're a dead head, you know where this song comes from.

Joe Bone is a ccMixter artist and uploaded his vocals to the Time Of Terror remix event.  As soon as I heard the chorus, I imagined the last line being "We Are The Dead Heads" and from there everything fell into place as if Jerry was being channeled somehow.  Even if it's all in my head, it was still a great time jamming in the headphones.  

This song lifts my spirits and I hope it does you the same.  We're all going to the great gig in the sky someday.  Until then, jam on!

Lyrics (by Panu)

i’m not sleeping very well

My concentration is gone to hell

i’ve fallen under some ancient spell

Must be the gypsy in you

if you’re not looking for a game of chance

Or the easy passion of a quick romance

aAbrand new partner for the same old dance

Then i’ve got a deal for you

When it’s time to pick up the pieces of your latest broken down love affair

Somehow inside you know

You don’t need permission and you owe it to your heart

Let’s fall together and just let go

Be my lover, be my liar

Hold my ego to the fire

If there’s a chance to be your heart’s desire

That’s all i want to do

Sleeperspaceborn's Remix of Shine is A Hard Rock Gem

                      

Sleeperspaceborn's remix "Way To Love" features the vocal source tracks from a recent vocal upload of mine and was awarded an Editorial Pick for its powerful hard rock feel and production.   Here's what that review says about the track:

"This powerful, exciting hard rock remix by sleeperspaceborn takes Spinningmerkaba’s inspiring vocals and pushes them to 11! ROCK ON." -Kara Square

Sleeperspaceborn is the alias of Andrew Nissley, who releases original music as Vetra Miga.  You can discover more of his work by visiting his website.

The vocals featured in this remix were uploaded for the Break The Silence music event held by ccMixter.org and are from the original track "Shine" which is released on Jason Brock's music channels.  

These two versions of the same song are like sister galaxys in the universe of independent rock.  May we all shine on!

Pandemic Blues

Pandemic Blues

Released March 21^st on ccMIxter.org under Creative Commons Non-Commercial License.

Pandemic Blues is a classic ragtime track that takes us back to a time we’ve almost forgotten, but now are drawing inspiration from. The early 20^th century was a time where the style and perseverance of a people carried through. A time where the world lost millions and still had the courage to look toward the future.

Now, with the COVID-19 virus sweeping the globe, we are once again reminded of the fragility of life, of the importance of the simple things. Spinngingmerkaba’s track immediately takes us to a place of familiarity, like an old time movie or looking at old photos. The lyrics are simple yet tell a story that is filled with questions, contemplation, and a touch of humor. If your a fan of the classics, then Pandemic Blues may well ease the tension during one of our time’s most difficult struggles.

Pandemic Blues features the musical talents of ccMixter.org artist unreal_dm and is free to share under a non-commercial creative commons license.
