about

This is a rework from the original Men I Trust song, Tailwhip. Producing this remix was both extremely fun and terrifying at the same time because I know Dragos, Emma, and Jessy personally and they are just so good at what they do… I wanted to honour their song in a humble way, while bringing a part of my universe into it. In the end, it’s more of a conversation than a remix.

Tailwhip is my favourite Men I Trust song, so I knew that there was a specific soothing vibe that had to stay intact within it. To me, that essence was kind of sacred. But when Dragos sent me the stems to make the remix, one of their tracks was labeled “New-Age” and I thought: "That’s a sign! It’s my direction. Let’s try to bring this song into the clouds a bit”.

The end result is bouncy, vaporous and a bit mystical.

I remembered Dragos telling me how fun it was to make a music video with their childhood footage. So I thought, maybe I could create some kind of dialogue with him by reproducing their video concept with my remix.

Video : youtu.be/NOUSDLM_LJQ

Dragos grew up in Chaudière-Appalaches, a region of Quebec, just like Jessy and myself. The name of the region is written on Emma’s t-shirt in the original video, so I knew I had to include that in mine.I also added footage of my childhood when I visited my family in Hungary in response to Drago’s Eastern European origin.

My remix is a tribute to Men I Trust and a memoir to myself.

lyrics

We’ll be all right, work on my mind
Won't die in the city
We’ll be all right

Won't die
Won't die
Won't die
Won't die
Work on my mind
Won't die, won't
Won't die
Won't die
Work on my mind

Going to a place
Where I used to stay
Writing something new
In this home I know

We'll be all right
Work on my mind
This country dog
Won’t die in the city

We'll be all right
This country dog
Country dog won’t die in the city

This country dog
Stay here some time
Work on my mind
Won’t die in the city, work on my mind
Stay here some time
Country dog won’t die in the city

Right eyelids closed
Both feet behind
I aim for tomorrow
Work on my mind

Right eyelids closed
Both feet behind, in the city
Going to a place
Where I used to stay, in the city
Writing something new
In this home I know
We'll be all right
Writing something new
In this home I know
We'll be all right

Work on my mind
We'll be all right
Work on my mind
Going to a place
Where I used to stay, work on my mind
Writing something new
In this home I know
Work on my mind
Writing something new
In this home I know

Work on my mind

We'll be all right
This country dog
Won't die in the city
We'll be all right
This country dog
Country dog won't die in the city

Work on my mind
Work on my mind

Won't die
Work on my mind
Won't die, won't
Work on my mind
Work on my mind

about

Varfalvy Montreal, Québec
