Fallen Star

I started working on this cover probably around 2004 and finished it some time 2005. I first heard this during The Late Isabel’s Doll’s Head album private party when Libby Borjal (who went by Eudoxia Vervain) performed it on stage.

BTW, today’s her birthday. Happy Birthday Libby!

I liked the chord progression and decided initially to “remix” it but ended up doing a completely different version. I sampled the electric piano intro and a line she sang and fed it into my software sequencer; programmed a couple interesting beats; plugged my MIDI keyboard and doodled with random chord washes; changed the lyrics a bit to fit the rhythm; and finally recorded the vocals. It’s my failed attempt at drum-n-bass. Haha.
