Nothing Really Ends, dEUS (cover)

Well, this project almost didn’t end :)
I covered rough and ready version of this at an open mic with Chris last year and decided to do one of my ‘family and friends’ collaborations. I had the bones of the song assembled and was just waiting for my daughter to get back from Germany and convince her to provide some backing vocals. Unfortunately, in the great computer crash of this year I lost all the stems, and the project was shelved.
Last month, I came across an email with a rough mix of guitar, vox, fiddle, piano and drums that I had sent to the band and decided it was good enough to use. I asked Cousin Lars in Copenhagen to do another guitar solo, got my son Tor to provide a bass line, and I sang some backing vocals on top of the mix.
True to form, I stole the creativity of others for the video (Transfiguration 2020 by Universal Everything)

You guys have a nice Calexico sort of vibe going on!

I love the cinematic nature of this track, not to mention the musicality. Well done sir!

[@brianlarsen7488]

Much appreciated, Clint. Glad you liked it :)

Is that the same dEUS, in A Bar Under the Sea? Anyway nice job, well done to all!

Hi Neil, cheers for the listen and thumbs up! Indeed it is. dEUS were my favourite band for a long time :) Sounding like Calexico? Aw, you say all the right things :D

@@brianlarsen7488 I curiously referenced them in an assembly I did at the school in São Paulo - You gotta be your own dog! That is one hell of an album. Certainly the high water mark for Belgian rock... The Low Countries answer to Tom Waits.
