This is my re-imagine, recompose of Alev Lenz's Aimee Mann for the Spitfire Audio Recompose Competition.

I tried different versions with synths and different elements but ended up with this version, because at the heart, I felt this song is blues. 
I tracked this song with acoustic and electric guitars and electric bass over a beat I've manipulated kick and percussion sounds. First I tried to sing, but the the vocals on the original track were so perfect, I didn't use vocals. Instead I played the vocal melody with guitar. But I didn't want to leave the lyrics aside. And recently buying Anne Clark's vinyl from a local record store, inspired me to read the lyrics as a poem over the melody played by guitar. And this is the short story of how I recomposed this beautiful song.

I would like to thank Spitfire Audio & Alev Lenz for hosting this competition. I hope you enjoy listening my version of this song.
