I drew the incredibly inspiring and prolific Apoxode for The Yin of Yang Secret Mixter. I started remixing, wrote some lyrics, and then life threw a curve ball… there was no way I could record last week. Luckily, Loveshadow graciously pitched in with a magnificent remix “ Wishing Well.” (Thanks again, Loveshadow!)

And so… here’s my mix for Apoxode. Most of the music is his, I just added a shaker, some sound fx and a little bit of melody at the instrumental break. Thank you for everything you share on ccMixter, Apoxode. I hope you dig this track. And I hope everyone else does, too.

In case you’d like to remix the vocals…

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Where’d ya’ go?

CHORUS 1
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Through the tulips
Into the snow
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Where’d ya’ go?

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Under the sea
Over the rainbow
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Where’d ya’ go?

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Above the beanstalk
Below the meadow
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Where’d ya’ go?

VERSE 1
When you look both ways before you die
You might just find, identify
A crossroad of nonsense and sense
But who are we to know the difference
Senseless and nonsensical
Sometimes is most ethical
Looking down the rabbit hole
Who am I?
When is this?
Where is my mind?
Does time exist?

CHORUS 2
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Sometimes you come
Sometimes you go
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Did ya’ know?

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Minds are open
Before they close
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Did ya’ know?

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Deep in despair
We discover hope
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Did ya’ know?

VERSE 2
You might think that I am deep
Think I’m neat
Need some sleep
You would be right
You would be wrong
It’s all about the
Yin of Yang

CHORUS 3
Here we go!

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me low
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Feel the flow?

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Yes means yes
And no means no
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Feel the flow?

Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Will you reap?
What you sow?
Tip tip tip
Tippety tip tip tiptoe
Feel the flow?

VERSE 3
Nothing matters minus everything
There’s no beginning and no end
Yet here we are momentarily
This time and space contingency
If we knew it’s true we’d know
And even then where would we go?
What would we do in this world?
Bend it to our every will?
And so I’ll leave you with a thought
A truth I know but oughtn’t not
You matter more than you’ll ever know
And also less
So let it go and…
