From time to time I find a Remix Contest that inspires me enough to take the tracks and mess with the song.
Switchfoot, with their sond Afterlife is currently running such a contest & they did the silly thing of haveing echo/reverb on the lead singer track, I still was inspired enough to do a Less is More Nation remix.

My general idea was to strip the song down to the minimum: First the Lead Singer, then add in some rhythm and more. The words of the song added for extra creativity since it is talking about people putting off really living, some to the point where they are dead. It especially targets Christians who believe they will live in an afterlife, post death, but seem to be putting off living until they hit that point.
I am considering working on it some more, if I do, what would you suggest?
Thanks for listening & sharing with others.
