    I'm not really a FLAC-man, but hey, we got lots to choose from. But the fact I don't listen to things in 320kbps would probably show through in my music. Whatever your ears like!

about

This has been one maddening labor of love for me. This is a remix of a movie that has been near and dear to be since around Third Grade-- the 1993 romantic-comedy-fantasy classic, Groundhog Day! It's comprised entirely-- and I mean entirely out of small bits and pieces of the movie, either re-pitched, slowed down, sped up, and sometimes with a slight touch of auto-tune for good measure (or a lot of auto-tune to re-configure chords in some score samples).

The first time watching this through, I kind of was a little too absent-minded to fully understand its emotional depth. Then I watched it back in 5th Grade while I was feeling all sick and bedridden. The moment Phil bore his change-of-heart to Rita, I just had this, like, EPIPHANY. I realized how one person can make someone as cynical of human nature as Phil (or sometimes, even myself) see the world for what it really is. I was a complete MESS of tears by the end. (How manly.) Since then, I've mirrored my own life after Phil-- not living to satisfy myself, but to derive a sense of worth by helping those around me and enjoy their company.

From that point on, I even found myself recording little pieces of the score and the musical numbers that I found particularly intriguing-- things I repeated over and over in my head, finding this sort of unexplainable joy in certain chords and note clusters. Perhaps it was because of my experience with this movie that I immediately identified with Pogo's knack for attuning into certain choice chords.

I tried to make this song a sweeping medley of emotions, quite in the same way the movie itself is! I do so hope you enjoy its whimsicality. *grins* It's quite a smorgasbord of sight and sound. Am I right or am I right or am I right or am I right?
