Uhh...ops, I did something weird? I ended up remixing one of my own remixes.
I was working on a remix of Chrono Cross’ track Reminiscence for the Chronopolis remix album and waiting for some recordings to come in so I could finish the track. During some random Youtube watching, I stumbled upon a Synthwave track in the style of The Midnight, suddenly got very inspired, and was wondering if I could do something similar. Fortunately I already had some vocals that Joy recorded for my original remix, so it was a great time to see if these vocals would work in this alternative version too. Turns out it did work pretty well, even though I did have to ask Joy to re-record due to the slower tempo.
To me, this alternative remix goes hand in hand with the other version, each using the same source and the same lyrics, but each with their own feeling and mood. All in all this was a really interesting experiment, and I love what came out of it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do :)
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I'm drifting so far away
I really think I'm astray
All so foreign, yet familiar to me
Where did I go? Where could you be?
[Chorus]
In this world, I am alone
And I miss you, now that you are gone
But if fate could be rearranged
You'd be here, my world forever changed
[x7]
If I could...
[Bridge]
I'm wandering
So aimlessly
I'm wishing for another world
[Verse 2]
You found me, and I found you
Together, we will pull through
Though I wonder, if you never found me
Where would you go? And where would I be?
[Chorus]
Lost in time and lost in space
Someone else then stole what was your place
But I think, if my fate could change
You would be forever here with me
If I could...
If I could...
