BTW: You can always find the latest version of my mix on my website:
Nothing Ever Changes.

I've already tweaked it some more, but I won't upload any new versions here.

Wow!  Both mixes are great, this turned out really well.  Thank you everyone.....I've been waiting for this song - it's my Leonard Cohen lyric.  I wrote it after reading "Beautiful Losers"  :D

Here's the final lyric:

Nothing Ever Changes

Verse 1:
I will lie beside you, like I would lie in death
And when my eyes are closed, is it just another test
Of the hand that rocks the cradle and the baby who would fall
For when I get to heaven, there is nothing there at all

Verse 2:
Sitting in my corner I will contemplate my life
Thinking of tomorrow as I'm pulling out my knife
To cut away the demons running through my head
For when my eyes are open I find I'm still in bed

   Chorus:
   Nothing ever changes... nothing ever does
   Nothing
   Nothing
   Nothing ever, ever changes

Verse 3:
When you're lying at my feet looking up at me
I will barely remember how we came to be
For love is nothing more than a blur of space and time
And my wicked heart will not forsake its crime

    (chorus)

Bridge:
I light a cigarette to get me through the day
And as the ashes burn they melt my words away
For I've become a sinner with a naked soul
All my words unspoken have nowhere left to go

   (Chorus)
   (Instrumental)
   (chorus)

Verse 4: (NOT USED - TOO LONG)
As the morning passess, I slowly walk away
My mind tell's me it's over; I have nothing left to say
The darkness of the day has forgotten that it's blue
And when I'm all alone will I ever think of you

Good one guys....nice track - something a little different , had a good listen to both mixes , and whilst there's nothing wrong with the other one I have to give it to Adam for punch clarity and depth.  :)

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.

Wow guys - this is an intricate arrangement musically - and you pulled it off!!!

Great vox Mark!

Great playing by the band

Andy - super guitar, love the harmony solos, Marc- you're the man as always on that bass, Jman - nice controlled punchy drumming...

Steffen - hats off to you on executing a very complex arrangement with finesse and grace, and Argle - great mix/master.

Well done!
Andy

Have to agree that Andy's triple guitar harmony is the highlight of the song.

very kind of you to say so Mark, but there are so many highlights in here. That soulful, pained voice just drew me into this song in the first place ... wonderfully atmospheric and full of anguish .... brilliant :)

My sentiments exactly...heard the first 3 words on this and said to myself "Gotta play on this one!" ;D One of those rare occasions where the song sounds tailor made for the voice, perfect fit....gonna be one of the jewels for 2009 MCS for certain! :)

I had a blast mixing this.  It's a really great song, densely layered and varied.
