about

And like a late arrival as the party just ended, here's the last mashup I have done, I fixed some of the tempo and most of the tuning issues (Stevie was singing OOK on the demo, sorry!) and the rest will have to wait for another lifetime.

There aren't many ABBA instrumentals, Arrival is one of the few, and seems a little, well, sparse with it's synthy folky bagpipeness (is that a thing?). I noticed 'Never Going Back Again' and the lyrics seem to be the best to bow out on:

"Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again"

I never say never - that was the joke with people 'leaving' making mashups, they'd be back a few weeks/months/years later usually. The people who stopped totally never announced it, they just did. So who knows...but this is how I feel at the moment.

The arrival is also a departure, it cycles around. I did my first return mashups in late March 2020, and it's been over a year of struggle. I have other things to do, really. Still doing the Bootleg Archive and the podcast, but I feel making them is too time intensive and not good for my mental health.
