For many of us at Mason Jar Music, the music of the 1990s was the backdrop to our coming of age. It was our introduction to pop culture and the soundtrack to our middle school dances. This year, continuing our annual Decoration Day cover series, we've asked a few of our favorite local Brooklyn artists to re-imagine a 1990s song of their choosing. Together with the Mason Jar Music House Band, we've crafted this humble homage to a few of the great turn-of-the-century artists, including Smashing Pumpkins, Macy Gray, Cher and Lauryn Hill. 

The Decoration Day series began on a whim three years ago after a last minute studio cancellation inspired co-founders Dan Knobler & Jon Seale to record an EP of some their favorite songs. In what has become a celebrated Mason Jar Music tradition, the collective unites friends and collaborators for one weekend each spring to record a group of themed cover songs to be released around Memorial Day. 

Keenan O'Meara - "1979" - from: Decoration Day, Volume 3

“In time I'll try to be 
all things to all around me”, 
he said. 

I replied: 
“Old men with weary souls 
reached far beyond their goals, 
and 
old men with youthful skin 
are wrinkled from within, 
will die before they live, 
and take far more 
than they will ever give.”

Mango Tree No. 17

The island

There’s an island in your heart, the place where you gotta go
Not everyone can get there … not everyone should know
Only we know where it is … 
Only we know the way
Come … take my hand let’s go
Well maybe this time we’ll stay

Everything I ever wished for, my every desire
You set in motion with your love
Well … You set on fire
Do you feel the wave that’s coming on, let’s ride it to the end!
Let’s float free in this current of love
And then let’s do it again!

The island waits for us my love
What are waiting for?
Yeah on the island we could live … and love forever more!

On the island where we live a new world is born
No more secrets left to give
No more pages torn
I just keep holding on, you’re the reason I gotta get through
It’s all because of you … 
I just keep holding on … holding on to you!

Come my love the island waits, you know it never is too far 
The island is where we decide
The island is wherever we both are!
