Song-A-Day 2013 yielded some amazing music and some of it was purely electronic and instrumental. I wrote an electronic piece for Jupiter 8 called "Carousel", inspired by the carousel in Logan's Run. February 22nd was designated our "cover" day where we could cover somebody's song. Derek Greenberg covered my instrumental by writing his own lyric to my electronic soundtrack and replacing it with acoustic guitar. I later decided I liked his interpretation of the song from the standpoint of an asteroid as it's revolving around the sun akin to a carousel. I resung his vocal using Reaktor The Mouth to reintegrate it into the original electronic version. I hope you like it, Derek, because I'd like to use it for my next Colfax record, "The Jupiter Expeditions". Carousel I'm an asteroid I have a tale to tell I spin around and around Just like a carousel I'm in the Kuiper Belt Orbiting the Sun How long have I been here? A billion years, plus one And from deep down below I feel some gravity Pull me toward the Earth At long last I am free I build tremendous speed As fast as I can go I'm going to slam into you So look out below! I'm an asteroid I have a tale to tell I spin around and around Just like a carousel Music by Colfax (aka. Daniel Berkman) Lyric by Derek Greenberg
