Thanks for all the nice comments... I might have to try remixing some more PSB tracks ^^

for the people who like to have cover art for their mp3 files, here's the cover art for my remix:

Excellent job, really good mix.

Thanks for noticing. I kept some chords the same, but changed the accompanying bass note to the same as the chord (which sometimes the boys dont do, for example: Red Letter Day, Album version vs Motiv8 single version), not many 3rd or 5th bass notes for me

Also changed the chords a little in the chorus.

Also, i re-arranged the vocals a little...

The first chorus vocals aren't used. The 2nd chorus, I used as the 1st chorus, and used the 3rd chorus as the 2nd chorus, and didn't have a 3rd chorus... I like the different ending and the fade ^^

Thanks And, how is Can you forgive her? in 12/8? Isn't it 6/8? its sounds a lot like 6/8?

Thanks. And, don't worry, if I make more PSB Remixes, they will be posted here ^^

Thanks, sky high. Yeah, Its pretty relaxing and chill-out-ish... so, I didn't put too much going on, until the "out of my head, loosing my mind" part...

Ok, ok... it's a downtempo remix, which can explain it all.

Anyway your remixes is really weel done! It could be a second demo version.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks ^^ yeah, I think there are enough 4/4 fanmixes out there, but nothing that sticks to the 6/8 time signature... so, decided to that instead. A second demo version? haha ^^ Is that a good thing?

really good, very pretty. Good job!!!!!!!

The difference is quite easy to prove... Try counting to 12 ( | _1_ 2 3 4 5 6 |_7_ 8 9 10 11 12 ) [or 1 to 6 twice (_1_ 2 3 4 5 6 | _1_ 2 3 4 5 6)] within the first bar of Can you forgive her?. The difference between 12/8 and 6/8 is, quite obviously, the faster tempo. Numb is a living proof of 6/8 [a pop waltz, if you may], and Can you forgive her? the same of 12/8. And if I remember correctly, 12/8 of Can you forgive her? is also the given (correct) tempo in the Very sheet music book.

What I'm trying to "prove" is that 12/8 is easier than 6/8 to make a 4/4 dance track of, due to its faster tempo.

Tempo has nothing to do with time signature... i know the difference between 12/8 and 6/8... Can you forgive her? was easier to remix, because of its speed, but, not because of its time signature... I just don't agree with you that CYFG is 12/8... anyway, i think we agree to disagree on this one ^^ hehe

yeah. I just say you're wrong, how about that?

well... i could say, I think you're wrong, but where would that get us? I could also say, read the booklet for the Very/Further Listening. If my remember correctly, the boys mention that it is in 6.8 time...

just a difference of opinion ^^ Anyway, its just a song

Sorry djandyman, I've had to remove the link. Copyrighted materials in public and all that.

No problems, i undestand... Sorry about that...

Just curious, can I link to another page which has my remix (i've noticed that with a few other people's remixes)?

Ermmmm... I've never been asked that! As long as you don't make it obvious it's leading to an MP3 or otherwise illegal / copyrighted content file, then I can't see the harm. You will just have to be creative.

lol... okay, thanks Steve

if people read this, and email me (not a PM connected to the forum) asking me for the URL, is that a problem?
