remix started, thinking of some kind of ambient remix, but kind of have problems to find a working scale for it? could you tell me?

@nehctreg: So many possibilities when it comes to remixing the song too :)

Hey guys, love this song, still trying to decide how / if to do a remix for it.

I wrote this with Kristopher Lee Wade. We were trying to think of what the girl's name should be... something from the 1930s, 40s, like Maude, but I wanted it to be 2 syllables.  The night we tried to play this song live for the first time at Lambert's, our dear friend Phoebe Hunt showed up, so I put her name in, just for the night. It stuck and we ended up naming the album after this track. 

Adder on a Ladder (Phoebe’s Dream)

Did you ever hear the story of dear Phoebe?
She thought she found her way up off the ground
She tried to smoke her way up into heaven
But they turned her back around

She was bitten by an adder on a ladder to the sky
She was trying to get higher, didn't need no reason why
The vipers loved to watch her move
Up, up, up she climbed
Man, that girl was smokin’, my oh my, so high, high so high

Well, I guess she never figured that she’d ever come back down
But she must have met her maker and her turned her back around
He said, “Darlin’, don’t you get me wrong, a viper knows no bounds
But sometimes, the only way back up is down, down, down”
Down, down, down

She dreamed about a ladder 18 stories high
That’s where she met an adder, he said
“Come with me, Grab a stick of tea, You’re going right up to the sky”

When dear Phoebe woke from her dream, she was lying on the ground
With a hazy, lazy feeling and a viper hanging ‘round
He handed her a light, got a sparkle in his eye
And before you know it, She was high so high, high so high
