Description
Last weekend, Matt and I posted an invitation in the forums for macjammers to remix The Orbiting song Wake Up . I've really enjoyed hearing the versions that have come out so far and since I've been kind of hamstrung working on new projects because my interface died and I haven't been able to record vocals, I thought I'd have some fun with a remix, too. I used some of the tracks from the original song and added a few more.
This started out as a reggae mix, but I remembered that I had bought the Vocals Jam Pack a while ago. At the time, I found it basically the dumbest Jam Pack Apple has ever released, but it suddenly clicked that it meant that I had rappers on call in my computer, so I played around with adding "Tyson" into the song and kind of liked the results, then I thought I might like to have a background singer, so I put in a call to "Leena," as well. I think they both did good work and I'd hire them again. :-)
What I love about award shows like the Grammys and the Oscars and stuff is that there's almost always some crazy moment where they combine completely improbable artists and songs like, "Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for the first lady of the American theater, Helen Hayes performing 'Like a Virgin' with Three 6 Mafia." I think this might have ended up being kind of like that, since I'm kind of an improbable hip-hop artist, but I had fun. If there are any real rappers out there who would like to take this on and have the aiff with vocals removed in spots, drop me a line and it's yours!
Thanks for listening, guys.

Lyrics
(Wake up everybody,
the world is ending,
and if we don't
stand together,
it's our fault, too.)
(History in the making),
Wake up everybody,
the nightmare is coming,
while you were sleeping,
they were dreaming
a dream for you,
a dream for you,
you didn't ask them to,
you didn't ask them to,
dream it for you.
Wake up everybody,
wake up everybody.
(Get, get, get back.)
While you were sleeping,
they were dreaming for you.
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
(That's right, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
You and I can fight the darkness,
(listen to me, listen to me, now)
you and I don't have to fight alone
you and I can fight together.
One and one and one is more than one.
(Listen to me, listen to me, now.
Listen).
Wake up everybody,
the world is melting.
While you were breathing,
they were stealing,
your dreams from you,
your dreams from you,
you didn't ask them to,
steal them from you.
You didn't ask them to.
While you were breathing
(work it just a little bit)
they were stealing from you.
Wake up.
(C'mon, c'mon
get your head right,
get your head right.)
You and I can fight the darkness,
you and I don't have to fight alone
you and I can stand together.
One and one and one is more than one.
(Listen)
Stand up everybody,
no more acquiescing.
If you don't stop them,
you're asking them to,
asking them to,
steal from you.
Wake up everybody,
wake up everybody,
wake up everybody.
(Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me now).
You and I can fight the darkness,
you and I don't have to fight alone
you and I can stand together.
(C'mon, c'mon get your head right).
One and one and one is more than one.
(Listen).
Wake up everybody
(History in the making)
the world is ending,
and if we don't
stand together,
it's our fault, too.)
(History in the making),
Wake up everybody,
the nightmare is coming,
while you were sleeping,
they were dreaming
a dream for you,
a dream for you,
you didn't ask them to,
you didn't ask them to,
dream it for you.
Wake up everybody,
wake up everybody.
(Get, get, get back.)
While you were sleeping,
they were dreaming for you.
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
(That's right, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
You and I can fight the darkness,
(listen to me, listen to me, now)
you and I don't have to fight alone
you and I can fight together.
One and one and one is more than one.
(Listen to me, listen to me, now.
Listen).
Wake up everybody,
the world is melting.
While you were breathing,
they were stealing,

You didn't ask them to.
