- Using Ben Orr's original vocals, I thought I'd try to remake the 12“ version using my own instruments (Using - KorgM1, Korg01, AccessVirusKC and Roland JV2080). I did it because I really love the instrumental section heard once near the end of the 7“, and wanted to hear a few more variations of that in my 12“, especially during the intro. I had to sing some of the backing vocals, the “who's gonna drive ya, who's gonna drive ya“ chord that repeats occasionally (I hate my voice btw but after applying loads of effects I'm almost unrecognisable, phew!). I didn't want to stray too much from the sound of the original (I've always loved the song, it's perfect as it is), but I couldn't find a perfect match for all the instruments, my snare drum is a bit thunderous, and I might have overdone the synthy strings a little. It's a work in progress anyway, I'll probably make a few tweaks after I've heard it back a few times. - I made the video out of the film 'One From the Heart' because I've always had a thing for Teri Garr. She does some excellent dancing during the film I thought might be good to mix some of that with this song. The film has been heavily criticised in the past, it's a shame because you get the feeling that it could have really been something exceptional. Anyways, the film does have a special look and there are some exceptional moments in it that stay with you. Enjoy and thanks for visiting.
