Welcome to the lab. This is where the collaborations take place. Feel free to dissect and mutilate to your heart’s content. These are multi-track files so you can remix what’s there or add your own personality to the song. My only request is that you post a link to your creation in the comments section.

REMIXES
Remix #1 - Dan Kearley
www.kearley.ca
Jeff’s Comments: Wow, this is really fresh and airy. Definitely a brand new take on this song. I love the little break before the 2nd chorus. And I think the glitchy stuff is so sweet.
7 Laws Remix - Thenumber23
www.7laws.com
Jeff’s Comments: Cool. Intriguingly unsettling how the drums land on the offbeat but I like it. Nice background parts and treatment overall.
“By the Sea” Remix

Jeff’s Comments: This one isn’t a big change until the second half, but I think it’s cool and subtle. Nice drums feel.
Reggae Remix 2

Jeff’s Comments: I like the reggae feel of this. I often will perform this one with a dubby feel when I just play it on the Rhodes. This is nice. The new drums work for me, Scott!

Jeff,
I’m going to take a crack at the remix. I just converted all the .aiff to .wav (I’m a PC guy) and I have a small request - do you have a chord chart I could crib? I want to put a totally different spin on the song (vox might be the only thing preserved), and to quickly get up to speed, if I may have the chords, that would be cool. -Scott

Jeff,
I didn’t like the drums on the first attempt. Here’s a slightly different take on it.

Jeff, the link you posted was for my 1st version with the goofier drums. I think the 2nd one is better. Thanks for posting.

Hey Jeff,
Here’s my version, a year later on.
I’ve gone for the Min/Max approach.
