New song… that I can’t release. :(
Tuesday 26 July 2005 – 20:09I actually found time, don’t ask me how, to finish a new tune. That’s the good news. The bad news is I can’t release it here. It’s a cover. According to my understanding of the Swedish copyright laws, you have to get a license (from STIM) for the song in question in order to release a cover on the internet (or some other medium).
Anyway, I got really sick of that “Crazy Frog - Axel F” cover that’s been playing all summer, so I made my own version. I’m quite satisfied with it. It’s a damn shame I can’t release it. Of course, I’m quite convinced that nothing would happen if I did. I mean, come on, about five people worldwide would find it and download it. But I wan’t to play by the rules…
Speaking of covers, a couple of months before my son was born, I did a trance version of the title theme from “Star Trek Voyager”. Guess I can’t release that one either. Sigh. Oh well, it felt great creating some music again.

Oh’ damn, it would be very nice to hear your version of Axel F. I wonder if your version also contains Crazy Frog -style baby sounds or something like that… I have also become sick because of hearing Crazy Frog all the time, everywhere I go ;-)

No, my version is more true to the original if I may say so myself. It even contains the bridge part that’s played in another key. And for love of all things holy - No frogs! ;)
