Won't You Be Mine (Dayfade Dance Remix)

"but all we do is drift..."

(Carlton) - Drift (AARMAXX Remix)

Here is a remix I made in collaboration with Young Dreams to reimagine the track ‘Oban’ by Jaga Jazzist from their last album Starfire.

One of my favorite ways to stay inspired and push myself creatively is to re-approach my favorite songs as a way to honour them and unveil different aspects of the original song. When the opportunity arose to reinterpret Oban I was really excited at the challenge of developing such an incredibly dimensional and technicolour piece into more of a 'pop’ style arrangement.

Young Dreams made an instrumental rework of the original song set in a psychedelic 70’s world. I fell in love with the mood of it and added a vocal and lyric in homage to that era of soul ballads. We then collaborated on the final arrangement/ production, and after our back and forth we ended up with an entirely new song titled ‘Relative Peace’.

I felt a sense of tension and longing in the Jaga Jazzist original, then the instrumental by Young Dreams brought a romance to the song so I wanted to encompass these two worlds when approaching the vocal and lyric. I wanted to explore the facade of ‘happiness’ and ‘relative peace’ that we often wear in efforts to pacify a deeper longing. The melancholy of desire when not returned, or when traded for safety over passions.

Hope you enjoy and make sure you check out the original song by Jaga Jazzist here:

RELATIVE PEACE

woe I’m in
memory never can win
i'm dreaming i was next to you
to you
to you

all this empty space 
used to be full up of him
dreaming now will never do
won’t do
won’t do
won't do

oh baby
I tried so hard to make you come back
tell me does she treat you right?
does she lie?
does she write?
does she call back?

oooo
oh baby you make me wanna take back whats mine
no more running around you
time won't bring another

say you're living in a 'relative peace'
i'm on my knees

what good is my plea if you're relatively happy?

know i make you weak
now we never speak
I still know what you think about

I know what you need
say you're losing sleep
tell me does she treat you right?
tell me does she treat you good?

ooh baby
tried so hard to make you come back
ooh baby you make me wanna take back whats mine
she's like Jekyll around you then Hyde when the night comes

you say you’re living in… a relative peace

you say you’re living in… a relative peace
