The Apple Trees

While our family was binge-watching the 1990’s sitcom “3rd Rock from the Sun” I was inspired by Ben Vaughn’s (also from Southern New Jersey) rockabilly/retro-rock theme song. So I decided to step back in time (Keepsakes was mostly about time travel)to the 60’s and write a surf rock guitar tune (aka The Ventures - I played the LP "Golden Greats" so much I wore it out). I wanted to add a little more texture and I thought it would be fun to sing Doo Wop so I added 4-part vocals.

Deep In Space

When my little baby was in the womb I sang this to her.
When she was with us, I sang her to sleep with this.
When she could sing, she sang this with me.

Her middle name is Rainbow if this helps to make a little sense of the lyrics. :)

This track was inspired by the work of Delia Derbyshire who pioneered electronic music at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 1960s(She was responsible for the Dr. Who theme music). Delia is the female voice on this track taken from an interview in 1997. Most of the track also includes the sampling of her Deliaphonica Game.

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
