Taylor, Alexis - Time Remixes

“Marea (Blessed Madonna) and Pat Alvarez and I got together in a small underground studio and put together the embryonic version of this song in a moment of first (musical) connections, quite quickly. Marea told me she never let her own voice be on records usually, but Pat and I encouraged her to include her singing. It’s beautiful.

“Even touching time isn’t time enough” is her own hypnotic riddle and is a fascinating hook I think.

The lyrics and melodies beyond that came from me - a song I was writing about someone losing their mother. Imagined scenarios dealing with death and loss and a life being remembered and honoured. You know, cheery stuff for a house banger. 

Pat and I worked on the music on further sessions with his Solid Wall partner Lucas, and I enjoyed trying to give the guitar an underwater feel; Neil Young’s ‘Will To Love’ was being channelled for that element, and the Beach Boys’ ‘Til I Die’ also with the added (Mellotron) vibraphone parts. 

I think the song is an unusual and emotive mix of powerful epic ballad with house- leaning dancefloor track. Who knows how to dance to such a thing?” - Alexis Taylor
