I have retained (M)Rated's original comments and Tan's lyrics, although I
have replaced (M)Rated's vocals with my own, and replaced the organ sample
with a strings sample.
I would also like to add that if you or someone you know is a victim of
child abuse, past or present, help IS available. One resource is located
at http://pages.prodigy.com/faulkner/help1.htm, which I found by doing a
search with the words "child abuse help". There are many more.
No matter what you have been told, you are worth it, and things can get
better!
___________________________________________________________________________
All vocal samples by Zola, strings sample a mix of three strings samples
taken from my Radio Shack Concertmate 990, musicbox samples from the same.
For reasons of space, most samples are of course 8 bit. For the full, 3.5
meg monster, visit my home page!
Thanks to MP Productions who has patiently listened to every stage of this
remix and provided helpful comments every step of the way
Thanks also to (M)Rated, who, upon submitting this tune to Trax In Space,
was greeted by an ICQ message saying "Can I remix it? Can I please? Can
I?" and who gave his permission.=)

Original Song Info
__________________________________________________________________________
Hiding in the Shadows is a girl;
Who hates the world.
Scared and abused.
She hides her smile;
And wants to slip into oblivion
Whose eyes are empty and stare;
coldly at the world.
Who Hurt You;
Who Hurt You;
Who Hurt You;
Little Girl?
She hides her smile;
And wants to slip into Oblivion

COMMENTS:
Well here's something you probably haven't heard before... me singing!
The samples sound a bit strange when played through Impulse Tracker so
you might want to use MikIT for a cleaner sound. I started this track
with the bass & drums and it just didn't sound right... so I 'kicked' the
bassline forward to the off beat and Into Oblivion was born! The
official release date is actually the date on which we held our
engagement party! Anyway I feel like I'm going out on a limb with this
one so I hope you like it!

The lyrics are about child abuse and how, even as an adult, the pain
still remains.

SAMPLES:
The bass guitar samples were borrowed from the Chemical Brother's "Block
Rockin' Beats" (if you didn't already pick it!)
The snare was taken from a track by one of Australia's best bands "The
Cruel Sea".
The piano and organ samples were taken from my Korg 01/W synth.
I have no idea where the hi-hats and kick drum came from (they were in my
sample library) so if they're yours, thanks!
And finally the vocals were all done by me while I was sitting in my
study. Not the best of recording environments but we get by with what we
have.
All except the kick etc. were recorded by me.
