Bah, I'm considering this done!

[Flik]

I had still wanted to do one more change to this, but I just need to consider this done. So, hopefully to be somewhat enjoyed, here's my final version of my Take On Me remix / cover / whatever it is.

Flik - Take On Me

Thanks to Mustin for helping mix in the vocals.

No comments? Sadness...

Hmm, so how'd you do it? It's surprisingly good, very accurate, and just as catchy.

Spill it Flik, how'd you make teh phat beats?

[JJT]

sounds pretty good, but what's the point of making it exactly like the original?

[Flik]

I wanted it to sound close to the original because I thought it sounded best that way. I've never 'covered' a song before, so I wanted to give it a try.

The main reason for even doing this remix / cover was because my dad and I had started a little competition between each other on who could make a cover of the song the fastest. He used to play the song on keys in one of his old bands, so it was a fun thing for us to do. Unfortunately he had to drop out due to work stress, so I just kept tinkering with mine over time.

There's tons of ways I could have made the song different, but I just didn't want to. I really liked the way the original sounded and wanted my version to follow it in that regard, except me putting my own twist to it. There's lots of things I wished I could have done with this version, such as live guitar in the breakdown section, but I couldn't find anyone to do it, so sampled guitar here I come!

So, besides me being fairly unoriginal, I hope it's still enjoyable...for an 80's song.
