RFTF 2.0 - THE REMIX TASTER - DAY 5
3 CHERRY PICKED TRACKS
1. IN MY BED (DAVE GALE REMIX)
So many incredible tracks, so little time! It was really difficult to pick just three tracks from so much great music that the collaborators sent back but I chose them because I they really blew me away when I first heard them. The songs have been reimagined in a totally different sonic direction while still maintaining the emotional flavour of the original recordings. I also think they are a great show case of the variety and talent of the artists that are featured on the upcoming album. Enjoy!
Dave Gale is an EMMY award winning composer, producer and musician. As a freelance composer, he has scored hundreds of hours of music for television, for all the major UK and US broadcasters and networks and has a particular interest in vintage and contemporary synthesizers, alongside digital processing techniques.
He is a long time friend and collaborator of ISQ bass player Richard Sadler, and was one of the first people we got in touch with when we had the idea for the album.

IN MY BED - LYRICS
He bought me chocolates
Kissed my head
Twelve red roses in my bed
But I’m filled with thoughts of you instead
Tender words I hear him speak
He holds me gently
The sky turns bleak
For this is not the man I seek
To know
It’s you that I adore
His eyes
Yours I’m looking for
He saw
Never did before
A sigh
It’s you I’m bleeding for
2. loving a stranger (vince pope REMIX)

Loving a Stranger - LYRICS
Sometimes when I’m alone
I wonder if
You ever really know me at all
For how could an us so big and wonderful
Ever make me feel so small
So down…
There are far too many things
I couldn’t do
And far too many things you’re owed
But in this war of words and battle wounds
The poetry becomes unknown
These words we couldn’t say for peace of mind
We’ll say this time aloud, are we allowed
These words we couldn’t find for piece of mind
We’ll find this time, around
For love can never come from sympathy
And nothing ever grows from shame
And just when we got caught out standing there
We realised we’d done the same, the same
You’re loving a stranger
You are
You’re loving a stranger
You are
Two timing with danger
You are
You’re loving a stranger
When did you become a stranger too

ORBIT - LYRICS
The moon, so cold
Stood aloof and all alone
Then you, so bold
Said I was a place called home
And like the sun you drew me in
Tried to find a reach so far
And like the child I’d never been
I made a wish upon a star
The path, unclear
Covered all that we once were
Then you so near
Showed me what I never saw
And like a fire you warmed my soul
Made the darkness in me go
And through this crack that showed the road
I found a place that I call home
Could this be
But I feel you now
Orbiting my sense somehow
Under my skin
You crawled inside from deep within
To run away how would that feel
Or I could stay and be happy
To run away how would that feel
Or I could stay and be happy
To run away how would that feel
Could this be
Could this be
But I feel you now
You’re orbiting my sense somehow
Under my skin
you crawled inside from deep within
But I feel you now
You’re orbiting my sense somehow
Under my skin
You crawled inside from deep within
