lovely work with your edit of this great song.  i'm really happy to finally find a decent edit of it.   cheers!

A lament  about the state of affairs at the beginning of the Reagan years. 

With respect, I cut and rearranged it extensively, keeping what I felt were still the most relevant lyrics for 2013.
Although there were a number of short instrumental parts later in the track, there was  literally no clean loop for the introduction so I had to create one by cutting and splicing small grabs from the main body of the tune and reconstructing a series of instrumental loops for this purpose. 

The structure of the original is introduction _ poem _ song. 
I rearranged this using the song parts as a chorus with the selected poem parts as a form of verse in between, and attempted to keep true to the flow and build of the original. Not too heavy but still to the point. 

Added some extra drums for more stomp, some subtle effects and layering of bass sections. Moved the tempo up to 107. Hope you enjoy it!

No matter where you come from, where you live, who you vote for, who you support, who you love, what you wear, how you identify please remember we are all the same and we are not enemies.

You only get one life - don't waste it on conflict.

Music is the universal language, let's use it to spread happiness and understanding.

lyrics: 

You couldn’t see hope in your lines 
Pages would live a hidden life
But those are the distant fields that grow 
Strawberries sweeter than I’ve known 

How will we choose to live our lives?
I’ll keep up hope, you’ll open up your eyes 

Beached beauty waiting for the tide
To bring her to the water where she’ll thrive 
But now that she’s swimming somethings gone 
The fruit could only stay sweet for so long 

Familiar gaze that's no longer defined
I see it when you open up your eyes
I’ll leave you now, but I’ll be back in time
I’ll keep up hope cause I know you’re in the lines 

You’re not near, but you’re not far
I see you in the fields where you still grow 
Where you still know who you are 
Trapped in orbit I’m left to decode

Released in 1967 as part of The Velvet Underground masterpiece debut LP "The Velvet Underground & Nico", Sunday Morning was seemingly inspired by Andy Warhol, who suggested the band to write a theme about paranoia. Then came Lou reed & John Cale genius, creating this legendary dreamy musical atmosphere contrasting with the darker lyrics.
Here is a DJ-friendly edit of it, with various drums & percussions add-ins.

The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning (V4YS Watch Out Edit)

To coincide with Ian Dury's birthday @dicky-trisco has shared an edit of the great man's 1977 single 'Wake Up And Make Love With Me'.

Dicky Trisco - 12th May 2017:

"The first 45 single I ever bought was by Ian Dury and The Blockheads and was called ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’. I bought it in a newsagent store called John Menzies, which had a black weekly chart board with plastic letters on it that was updated by hand each week.

I can’t really remember how I came across the track, or if it was just potluck. I probably heard it on Top of the Pops, or on the weekly chart show on the wireless as it used to be called back in those days. Anyway I bought it and to this day it is a song that I love and would be happy to hear any time, any place and it introduced me to the music of Ian Dury and The Blockheads.

Ian Dury for me reflected what pop music and music in general was all about back then – a longing to be different and to make a difference. He was a fascinating character. My Dad said he looked like a bloody idiot, which only made me admire him more. When he performed he had a real edge and his singing style was more like someone talking, or at times even shouting in his own London accent rather than something shiny and polished. And you have remember these were the days of The Bee Gees, Barbara Streisand, Leif Garrett and other such highly manicured artists. He also had a tremendous amount of personal style with his hats, braces, rolled up trousers and boots. And it was all this difference literally rolled together as well as the great music he made alongside The Blockheads, which pulled me in as an admiring youth.

And the music…I couldn’t quite explain it at the time. But it was unmistakably ‘New Wave’ although I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant either beyond a handful of artists I was into like Blondie, Talking Heads and The Specials. It was a bit ‘Punk’ and DIY for sure and that was definitely a good thing. But it also had the funk. The Blockheads were a groovy outfit of great musicians. Much later I discovered that Chaz Jankel of The Blockheads went on to make some excellent disco influenced solo productions and that these tracks plus songs by Ian Dury and The Blockheads were played by groundbreaking NYC DJs like Larry Levan in the Disco scene out there and graced the floors of seminal clubs like the Paradise Garage and The Loft. My musical journey from awkward youth to being a DJ myself had come full circle all thanks to Ian Dury and The Blockheads.

Anyway I can’t say I am an expert on Ian Dury or The Blockheads to be honest. I love a lot of their music and it has now been with me my whole adult life while many other things have come and gone. In fact at one stage I used to buy any copy of ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’ on 45 that crossed my path. But the thing that seems of significance to me and that I wanted to share here with you is the DIY spirit and original style of those times. And they were great times! Acts like Ian Dury and The Blockheads did things differently and did it their own way and gained recognition for what they did via their music around the world. I salute them for that and it gives me, and I hope you, more than a few reasons to be cheerful.

So as a tribute to the genius and spirit of Ian Dury and The Blockheads and as my own personal way of saying thanks for the influence it has had on my life, I would like to share this rework of one of my favourite tracks on this his birthday. THANKS IAN DURY AND THE BLOCKHEADS! Your music really has made me feel like a lucky bastard x "

"Cool Cat", released in 1982 as part of Queen's 10th album, "Hot Space" is a groovy slo-mo gem, quite unusual in the band rock/pop discography. 

David Bowie, who had recorded the hit "Under Pressure" with the band for this same album, was also supposed to appear on this song, as a backing singer. But he was not happy with his vocals, and asked the band not to use his recordings at the last minute.

Here is my Dj-friendly "dreamy tropical" edit of it. 

P.S.: A special thought to my friend DJ Supermarkt (https://soundcloud.com/djsupermarkt) from Berlin, who brought this timeless track back to my attention last month through one of his great mixtapes :)
