A Shallow Dive into Sampling, Remixing, and Covering

Before we begin, I will define these words. My definitions are mine alone and there may be official ones, but I’m going to be sticking to mine.

Sampling: Taking a part of another song and using it in key elements of your songs.

Remixing: Taking a song and remaking elements such as melodies and basslines.

Covering: Recording of a song with minimal lyrical or musical changes.

So, I’m a huge fan of sampling, but many consider them copying. Hank made a video on it, which you probably have already watched but I will link it nonetheless.

I think of sampling as writing a love letter to a song. Take Avicii for example. I consider him a master of sampling. Yes, I know, I consider him a master of music, but my favourite things in his songs are his samples. 

So, his first big hit and also the anthem of Tomorrowland, the biggest music festival, as voted by fans, Levels, is a song he made, just to sample Etta James’s Something’s Got a Hold On Me because he loved it so much. I don’t think you can get any closer to a love letter. (BTW you don’t have to listen to the whole songs, just the parts I link)

(Tumblr doesn't wanna abide by timespants so just use the link or listen to the whole song (highly recommended))

(Dumb rule apparently only 10 videos are allowed per post so I will use spotify where relevant)

Here’s Levels

And here’s SGHOM (this one works the sample is at the beginning)

My favourite song of all time, Dear Boy, samples Hymn by Jonas Knutsson Band, a jazz song. He made a prog house bop out of a jazz song.

Dear Boy (Timestamp)

Hymn (Beginning)

There’s a ton more examples, but listing them all would take a ton of time, but here’s one last one.

Kygo, Avicii, Sandro Cavazza - Forever Yours (Beginning)

Sting - Shape of My Heart

I don’t think this shows lack of creativity, I think it does the opposite. I never would have heard these songs if Avicii did not sample them so I got him to thank for that. Moving on, we have Daft Punk, one of Avicii’s biggest inspirations, no idea if he was inspired to sample by them too. (I’m sorry I circled back to Avicii but that’s just how it is with me, I’m sorry.) 

Daft Punk samples lots. And I mean lots. I don’t think lack of creativity even applies here because the samples are creative in and of themselves. Here’s a 2 min video (I’m sorry but you need to see this):

Here’s a song I love that has been sampled a lot.

David Martin - Can’t Smile Without You:

It’s been covered by Barry Manilow and The Carpenters, but I want to focus on the samplers here.

Daft Punk - Instant Crush:

And also by Marshmello in Leave Before You Love Me:

Now, onto remixing. I don’t think I have much to say here, I think everyone knows what remixing is, but anyways, I’ll provide an example (Trying my best to not link an Avicii song but he does make the best remixes even if they’re very few). While in the process of writing this I was watching a video of Daft Punk samples and they even sampled the Apollo 16 and 17 missions apparently. 

Okay let’s get back on track. Kygo in the space between his 2020 and 2022 albums released a lot of covers/remixes of 80s songs. Kygo, Whitney Houston - Higher Love:

Whitney Houston - Higher Love: https://youtu.be/DbmiyLe2OnY

I cannot for the life of me find Whitney Houston's cover on Spotify, so enjoy the original Steve Winwood one:

I call this a cover/remix because according to my definition it should be a remix but the naming of the track seems reminiscent of covers. If it had a different singer I’d classify it as a cover but no, it’s Whitney Houston with Kygo instrumentals so it’s a remix in my eyes. (Also footnote, Higher Love was originally performed by Steve Winwood, covered by Whitney Houston and remixed by Kygo.) Kygo also got big by posting his remixes of songs on Soundcloud, so here’s one of them, it’s an Ed Sheeran one:

Kygo's remix is an unofficial one he posted on Soundcloud so no Spotify :(

Ed Sheeran - I See Fire (Kygo Remix): https://youtu.be/F3o1izxjCkM

Ed Sheeran - I See Fire: https://youtu.be/2fngvQS_PmQ

Imho this is the third best remix ever made behind Avicii's best.

Anyways, moving on to covers. Jasmine Thompson is a famous cover artist, and made a cover of Ain’t Nobody. I guess Felix Jaehn liked it and made a backing track for it. Here there’s new instrumentals and new vocalist, but nothing else has changed.

Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson - Ain’t Nobody: https://youtu.be/5j1RCys4R0g

Chaka Khan - Ain’t Nobody: https://youtu.be/-Ro8-ngA8gs

The next song is an ABBA one! This is a unique case in that I love both versions equally. Again, new instrumentals, new singer (I think?), same melody, same lyrics

ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme: https://youtu.be/XEjLoHdbVeE

GAMPER & DADONI - Gimme Gimme Gimme: https://youtu.be/OR5jsmDTUrc

I’ll sign off with a hilarious song I discovered. It’s a song about a girl who’s in utter denial about her breakup. I know I shouldn’t be laughing but holy hell the level of denial:

NOTD, Nina Nesbitt - Cry Dancing: https://youtu.be/Qp-UbtDVf7I

Okay, that’s it from me, I tend to ramble on, sorry, see you on thursday!

-Alia

(Oh wow I overshot by about 5 times damn, the shallow dive turned out to be pretty deep also this took a lot of effort please appreciate not the post it's pretty much a rant but the embeds took effort and also the last minute edits scrambling to somehow get this done by 12 even though I had most of the content ready days ago this is literally the only thing I can get done on time ok thank you bye i'll stop talking now see you)

Steve Winwood - Can't Find My Way Home (Live Performance 2020)

He's right I got him the key and someone said it to me today you got the key about this you got to tell people and here's what the key is. It's going on up there in New England and Northern New England there's blood everywhere from both sides and it drives the bugs it's happened already into the max it makes it look like they're not guilty but they are and they sacrificed another part of clones and really the clones of theirs are mad they have a problem now and on the battlefield in Florida it's supposed to draw them out and their bodies are removed by the pseudo empire because they know about it and if they didn't know about it and they got informed recently only a few years ago this place would be hell and everybody would be gone and he would be captured by the max that's what it's all about and that's what it's for and they're still trying to use it on you here so watch out because they might bring tankers down and they might do all sorts of things in the in the water itself

The rock

I kind of figured it out in conversation with him and he already knew and I already knew but the proof is that it's here and all over the place and the max are starting things like this and were and are and are up in Maine in order to hit you more lock and they're the ones with the knowledge and that's the max

lockdown film no. 23 - Rush (2013) dir. Ron Howard

15/04/2020

I am not a person who has a vested interest in race cars, I liked them as a kid but not much past that. I heard this was a good film to watch so I watched it, not because of the cars. Having said that, I got super invested in this 

- Hunts first actual scene was funny but I felt like they went a bit overboard with the sex montage (however it was good to see some semblance of equality in the nudity)

- the exposition in us meeting everyone on hunts team was ok, using the girlfriend as a tool because she didn’t know anyone worked fine but the voiceover of hunt and lauda just saying “my name is*” frustrated me a bit

- “Nursie, men love women, but even more than that, men love cars” the edit from this into the race with Steve winwood playing was really strong

- chris Hemsworth is really really good in this role. He gets charisma, arrogance, magnetism, all the good stuff, and I haven’t seen him in much else but it feels like quite a different role to thor

- Sex! Breakfast of champions!

- the fact that Ron Howard directed this and also the grinch is too much

- imagine meeting someone, having a conversation, talking about how awful the institution of marriage is and then proposing with “you don’t fancy getting married, do you?”

- *long spiel about how the car is absolutely fine* *cuts to a wide shot of smoke billowing from the bonnet*

- the introduction of lauda’s wife was really good and organic and didn’t feel like it was shoehorned in, the scene they had in the car was really funny and really well done - the addition of the two Italian guys gave lauda and Marlene a common ground of shared language

- something I really liked about this film was that it didn’t try and convince the audience to favour either hunt or lauda over the other; because it’s about them as a competitive unit the viewer is left to decide which one they’re rooting for in certain races and because of what’s happening in their personal life. 

- hunt sitting on the floor playing on a toy racetrack while he’s on the phone to someone trying to secure sponsorship for the formula 1 season like a little kid trying to get people to come to their birthday party

- there was such a big contrast between hunt and lauda’s weddings, they weren’t very close together in the film so it wasn’t obvious but hunt’s was so massive and he was wearing a top hat and they were talking about niki during the whole thing and niki and Marlene’s wedding was just with a registrar and a few witnesses and then they went on a honeymoon which was really soft and I really liked that. Then out of nowhere niki comes out with “happiness is the enemy” which really cracked me up

- a theme throughout is lauda calling every single person an asshole and I’m here for it

- they hyped up the danger for the really dangerous race just about the right amount, maybe a bit much, it was apparent that something bad would probably happen to lauda especially when the commentator said that he’d been leading hunt pretty much the whole time, it was like well this can’t possibly last 

- some of the camerawork they did with the cars was stunning, being in the car right by the driver’s feet made you more aware of how small the space was (hunt really wasn’t lying when he said it was basically a coffin) and claustrophobia

- the colours in the scene where we saw niki in the hospital after his injury were so cool

- also big props to the makeup department

- THE LUNG VACUUMING SCENE HOLY FUCK I LEGIT RETCHED 

- also which fucker allowed him to watch the racing while he was in hospital like come on that’s just cruel

- the press conference was fucking ace

- the cunt who was like your wife won’t love you because of how you look was not

- sound cutting out when he pulled his visor down *chefs kiss* yes plEASE

- the final half hour was really strong. The race was super tense, had no confirmation if hunt was going to win or not, niki deciding that he didn’t want to die, and then their meeting by the plane and discussion on what the meaning of winning is was pretty interesting as well. Plus you know I’m a sucker for archive footage so I ate that shit up

Raphael Ravenscroft who played the sax riff on the Gerry Rafferty hit 'Baker Street' died aged 60 of a suspected heart attack. He was only paid £27.50 for the 'Baker Street' session, and it has been reported that the cheque bounced and that it was kept on the wall of Ravenscroft's solicitors; by contrast the song is said to have earned Rafferty £80,000 a year in royalties.

2010 - Elton John

Elton John described today's songwriters as "pretty awful", Pop music as "uninspiring" and talent shows like American Idol as "boring" in an interview with UK Radio Times magazine.

2005 - Music Industry

A survey concluded that the average person spent around £21,000 ($42,000) on music during their lives, the figure included the amount spent on Hi-Fi equipment, concerts and CDs. Music enthusiasts were likely to spend more than double that, parting with just over £44,000 ($89,000), in a lifetime, according to the survey conducted by UK company Prudential.

2000 - Robbie Williams

A judge ruled that Robbie Williams had substantially copied lyrics on his song 'Jesus In A Camper Van' from the 1961 Woody Guthrie song 'I Am The Way' and also used parts of a parody by Loudon Wainwright III. EMI Records had offered 25% royalties but the publishers Ludlow Music were demanding 50%.

“People are running from what they can’t even see...” (”Face The Fire” by Dan Fogelberg)  The awesome guitar playing which concludes this song can make the listener forget about the cautionary lyrics.  That is a powerful description of fear.  Another song offers an antidote to fear: “Think about it, there must be higher love/Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above...” (”Higher Love” by Steve Winwood)  This picture was taken inside the Queens Museum.  The lights were dimmed, at the Panorama of the City of New York, to simulate darkness descending over NYC.  However, there are lights remaining in the darkness.  “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)  (Photo taken on March 4, 2020)
