The Golden Hour #7 (2024-02-25)

An old underrated favourite gets the Copycat treatment. Hope you like.

The Things You Said (A Copycat Remix)

Dear Karl,

A few years back, I did a cover of your lovely ”She’s the one” for my wife’s birthday. A wonderful timeless classic up there with the very best love songs, if you ask me (and her)—with lyrics so simple yet so pregnant, which truly sum up a longstanding loving, secure and deeply connected relationship and journey of life. 

A very emotional moment, for us both, I assure you. Not least with my vocals really stretching the patience of my audience and challenging the well-laid boundaries of our relationship...

In light of the tragic news of your passing, I won’t disrespect you nor the public at large by posting that very version. Some things just should be kept private; I am sure you agree. Instead, here’s my arrangement/instrumental of it—with your voice on top. 

Thank you for the music, for your talent, and for this song in particular. It will always mean the world to me and us. 

R.I.P. 


Love,

/Ivan

Ashford & Simpson It Seems To Hang On (Guy Gadbois Friday Funk Fest)

My favorite from the Swedish qualifications for the Eur*vision—in an Italo (dub) remix. The vocal version can be found on https://hearthis.at/copycat/effortless-copycat-italo-remix/

Effortless (Copycat Italo Dub)

Back again with Golden Hour #8, starting off happily skanking and dubby with a red stripe in one hand and something herbal in the other, and ends up... well, maybe one smoke too many, somehow in a different club to before, floating off into space? We've all been there, right?

Being mainly the mashups of a man who makes musical whimsy. All songs are written by other people, performed by other people and owned by other people. I just arrange them. Help me avoid jail by checking out the possibility of purchasing the original versions of all music made available here.
