Description:
A more electronic version of Can I Turn Now. In this remix the sound takes a radical turn and one that fans of the first version might not like, yet may win new fans.
Lyrics:
I went too far into something weird
can I turn now?
I seconded guessed I guess
I wanna shine like I always do
when I'm happy
now I'm a fucking mess
Don't wanna tell you I'm sorry
when I'm not sorry
You trivialize my pain
If I'm not pleasant enough to you
it's a pity
Believe me I’m not the same
If my battle is inside
I have to hide
'cause I know you never learn
the deeper meaning
Wish I was a child again
I knew my world back then
All I think about is how
can I turn now
I went along with the things
I feared that would hurt me
to hide that I was afraid
You came along at a bad time
wishing to change me
My plans were already made
And now I see it's a lot to
ask of somebody
You look like a question mark
'cause when you see my bright skin
and my shining eyes
you'd never think that I was this dark
But my battle is inside
I'll have to hide
'cause I know you'll never learn
the deeper meaning
Wish I was a child again
I knew my world back then
All I think about is how
can I turn now
Wish I was a child again
I knew my world back then
All I think about is how
can I turn
can I turn
now
I went to far into something weird
can I turn now
(I went too far into something weird)
I went to far into something weird
can I turn now
(I went too far into something weird, can I turn now?)

Nice reinvention of a great song &mdash 04/18/05 - 04:35:01 AM
Great bass; really lively drums too. A fantastic groove. It's
still a great song, too.
Two things:
That pause after "trivialize the pain"... and on other verses
- could it be a bit more definite? I'm a sucker for stop/
start songs.
The only other thing is the vocals on the chorus seem a
little thin on this version - against the beefier backdrop. If
they had less FX would they stand up more?
Anyway, I'm hardly an expert. It's a very lovely piece of
work - again. Big points.

This is why I love Macjams - always constructive feedback!
I'll try playing a bit more with the pauses, I thought the
first start / stop was quite defined while the other less
(the last one perhaps too little even). I'm a sucker for start
/ stop songs as well so I know where you're coming from.
I don't quite hear the thin vocals though. It is the same
effect as on the original with some extra track echo. It
might just be because I run Volume Logic in iTunes
though, I'll check it out without it. Maybe that's just the
sort of compression this song needs ;) [ Reply to This ]

I really, really enjoyed this. Love the pacing of the vocals
and they sound sooo good!
Percussion was excellent on this- perfect with the
bassline. Sorry- I'm not a very harsh critic. Real nice job
here... again!

Well, not all reviews have to be harsh to be taken seriously. Pure compliments
are good for the ego, hehe :) [ Reply to This ]
I still like it! &mdash 04/18/05 - 06:28:11 AM
I really like the change in the overall feel to this. Although I liked how the vocals were more "up front" in the other mix.
Still a damn good song! [ Reply to This ]

Any ideas on how to punch up the vocals a bit? I feel just upping the volume
unbalances the mix. But then again I am mix-blind (or should that be deaf) at
this stage. Maybe I'll take fresh look at it in the morning. [ Reply to This ]

cool piece &mdash 04/18/05 - 08:44:24 AM
Who's the vocalist? She has the perfect voice for this tune,
hip, childlike. Have not heard the original version, I'll
check it out. [ Reply to This ]

Caroline Ingeberg, a semi-established (and much more professional artist than
we are) vocalist from Norway. You can check out more of her work (in the jazzy
pop genre) here:

The voice should have a bit more clarity. Try doing a clone
of the vox track, setting one track to minimal reverb and
the other to moderate reverb. [ Reply to This ]
Cool Remix! &mdash 04/19/05 - 12:28:51 PM
