The original Semi-Charmed Life was about drug addiction disguised through an upbeat melody. This mashup feels like a release from drug addiction with divine help. And it's a beautiful mashup.
“Doin’ crystal meth will lift you up until you break.” Amazing song.
Strange, MMMBop isn't anywhere in this song but I can still hear it
It's in there somewhere
that's because it's in your heart
I'm hearing Life is a Highway vibes here, too!
at 1:56 it's very close to lead in of MMBop
Every breakdown i want to sing, "Theeeere she goooooes. There she gooooes again"
I was talking with a guy at work about the third season of True Detective, and how the main character's life was a series of failures amounting to nothing, no good, and this guy was like, "Well, isn't that what life is like?" I said no, lots of people achieve worthwhile things, and he asked me whether there was any good I thought I had done in the world, and I said, oh, definitely, I support the music of DJ Cummerbund. He did not find that to be a satisfactory answer but let's be honest here, I nailed that shit, and my argument only gets stronger every time a new song drops.
Send me this guy's contact information and I'll give him a stern talking to. And THANK YOU!!!
Amen
An excellent comment.
He didn't see the sign.
We seriously need to talk about how brilliantly all these elements work together. Like, I'm about to Rick Beato this shit.
1. Every song used that had melodic components was already in the key of G major.
2. Cummerbund very carefully picked elements of the EJ solo that would fit well harmonically within the D-to-C change in the 3EB song.
3. DMX's verses were interweaved perfectly within the crescendos & decrescendos of the 3EB song.
4. THE DOTTED 8THS SYNCING AT 3:41!! I was already very familiar with both the 3EB and AoB songs, so I knew that dotted 8th rhythm appeared in both, so when I heard the final chorus starting up, I was like "wait a minute, he's gonna frickin line these up, isn't he??" And when it hit, I damn near stood up and applauded.
This isn't just a mashup. This is a damn masterclass in mashups.
Ha thank you very much!
I've taken music classes, for whatever reason it just does not stick.
The explanation you gave in text means so much more to me, like I can finally understand how I'm feeling this feeling of euphoria when *THIS* happens
There should be a CHANNEL breaking down the music theory of DJ Cummerbund and other mashups. This would be my comfort listen so fast
Number 4 is even better. The dotted 8th rhythm (or triplet if that's your thing) is present in the start of both those lines, but the backing music in SCL and the "ay yay yay" lyric there is slightly rhythmically different than the rhythm in that Ace of Base chorus (the Ace of Base chorus starts with the dotted rhythm but then ends with a straight "+4+". So he actually SLIGHTLY altered the Ace of Base vocal to fit what the backing track is doing for SCL and matched it perfectly. I noticed it immediately and left a comment last year on this very thing. Brilliant work by DJC.
Yes, we absolutely need Rick Beato episodes of DJC. This crossover needs to happen, like yesterday.
I'm starting a DJ Cummerbund cover band
Finally
DJ Coverbund
@@krotalus74 yassss
I would buy a ticket for that.
Need a bass player?
this song is what it feels like to snort fat rails of the 90s
DJ cummerbund has the good unadulterated shit
Hit Clips from a Slap Chop.
Shit, this dude knows.
"Semi-charmed Life" is about drug addiction. So...
@@TheMrCC21 specifically meth addiction
"And I know I can stop the rain with just the mention of my Savior's name --
RANDY SAVAGE!"
Praise be unto His name.
It's when Macho Man makes it rain as DMX says "make it rain" that I realized DJ Cummerbund is a god.
Honestly this turns DMX's lyrics into a really hopeful prayer from the more pained original version
Came straight here to pay tribute to DMX. RIP, thanks for the sign.
This is the best thing I've ever heard. My girlfriend is addicted to mash-ups, and plays them back to back on car trips; usually by browsing through them, picking them out to play almost at random. When I heard this, it took about twenty seconds to realize that something incredibly special was happening. Two-thirds of the way through, I found myself with my hand clamped over my mouth, tears rolling, trying to drive. It's a masterpiece, and the original artists should take a lesson. Thank you, DJC. Keep making it happen.
Ha thank you very much!
He saw the sign! The sky was gold!
This is the most serotonin I’ve had this whole year.
Not gonna lie, this definitely semi-charmed my sign.
Only a genius can put Ace of Base, 3rd Eye Blind, DMX, Savage, and Eric Frickin' Johnson into a mashup masterpiece. DJ Cummerbund, you are THAT genius! Loved it!
Tony H I second that! Not a flaw in sight. Masterful...
I imagine EJ got a giggle. I hope someone told him
@@snoolee7950 あっぷ
Man I still listen to this weekly, 3 years later.
Oh man, the storytelling of this always really moves me. It's like two people who were in a toxic destructive relationship and the woman has finally pulled herself out and is relieved while the man resolves to face his demons and change himself. And the lyrics and the music are so complementary, and it's just beautiful.
Cummerbund has been on fire recently! Quantity and quality!
Agreed. I just said the same thing without having read this comment.
Grabbed the 90s by the throat, picked them up and powerbombed them through the 2019 charts.
DJ Cummerbund is what makes me love America.
I am the new America. I might even change my name to DJ New America.
@@DJCummerbund i support that.
@@dustinsmith2021 あっぷ
The cliffs of dover part blew my mind
My favorite part
I came to say the same :)
🤯 how does he do this so consistently? adding EJ was inspired...
Is that what the guitar solo was? Nice
how does he make it seem so easy?
I'm just here to pour out a forty for DMX.
RIP DMX, Hope the Lord gives you that sign ❤️
Just wanted to drop that I recognize the incredible work that went thru 3:41-3:44 and that at least one person noticed it.
That little detail was the golden ribbon for this precious mashup
What’s lovely here is four diffuse voices (counting Eric Johnson) sounding like a community of purpose - each lending their own perspective to The Sign.
In your "Artists Featured," I believe you forgot someone: DJ Cummerbund. I think he deserves credit.
aw shucks
The sheer disbelief and awe that washed over me when Cliffs of Dover started was earth moving. This is some genius level stuff.
Born in '81, I was a teenager during the 90s, and now I find myself increasingly nostalgic about the music from that era. Maybe it's a... SIGN... that I'm getting old?
1981 here too. we didn't get old the world did, Brother.
Cliffs of Dover out of nowhere. This is amazing
Its, what.. 2am? And I AM HERE FOR THIS
Nah man, it's a bit after 3pm here in Thailand :)
It's 3am I must be lonely
@@GenesisMuseum maybeh
You can be anywhere in the world, but you are here with me. And I appreciate that.
For someone who was born in the early '80s, this mashup is an existential revelation.
I wish 90s music had been like this in the actual 1990s. Thank you DJ Cummerbund for showing us what could have been!
This is our generations "Blood on the Tracks".
Spit it right from the heart, cuz it's right from the start. Amen, stay strong out there.
I'm sure more people would turn up to vote if they were given a DJ Cummerbund mixtape or CD.
DMX's words are so inspirational, I've converted... to Cummerbundism.
نَيس ܢܿܝ̤ܣ
This is what pop music should've been
To be born in the 80s and to listen to this in 2020 is an emotionally intense experience. As long as we have faith in our Lord and Savior Randy Savage we're gonna get through this.
Oh yeeeeeah!
Real talk, I was straight-up blindsided by that "Cliffs of Dover" clip.
Unexpected EJ
Came to the comment section for this
3:41 is life changing, that's the moment when I saw the sign
March 1st and the years summer jam is already out...
This is actually a masterpiece
You have Distilled the 90s.
You mad genius....
This Is the most blessed and cursed mashup and I like it
r/blurssedmashups
The Cliffs of Dover riff is perfection
Dude. This just flows like water. So pleasant. 🙌
The Cliffs of Dover just comes out of nowhere. Fantastic.
Lord give me a sign, and the lord said DJ Cummerbund is one of the greatest mash up artists who ever lived. God bless you sir!
Why does this fit so well? WHAT MANNER OF WIZARDRY IS THIS
How is it that you just relentlessly murder the game every time?
I'm just the realest
@@DJCummerbund 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is top tier, and I'm mad that I missed this one somehow. This is so good that there is no reason to not believe that this is truly the original version of the Ace of Base song. I'm applying Weird Al philosophy here. I laughed as the "doo doo doo, doo du du doo, doo doo doo" was changed. Avoiding copyright infringement can be hilarious.
The addition of Eric Johnson and DMX makes this mashup the most epic thing ever!
This is one of the best mashups/remixes I've ever ever seen, I'm legit blown away, it's both funny and such a bop.
Thanks!
My friend and I were admiring your mixing in this video, audio and visual. The editing of DMX’s lyrics was superb; they need to call the academy to give you an award for the sheer brilliance. You hit all the marks for nostalgia with the 90s alt rock from a millennial. Ace of base original probably wont be as fun anymore; look what youve done. I loved that you closed with semi-charmed lyrics. Bravo!
thanks very much!
Im discovering this four years after the fact, im pretty sure this is the greatest DJ Cummerbund mashup. It somehow unites DMX with Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover yet manages to be... Subtle
You know a remix is good when it's so natural you forget the originals don't sound that good.
Semi-Charmed Life does, though.
This song has been my main source of Dopamine as of late and for two reasons.
1. The imagery of DMX hiking through the desert preaching the Word of Randy Savage
2. That killer guitar solo.
Coming back to note the passing of DMX on April 9 2021. Godspeed, Desert Preacher.
@@Owl_Space Dune Messiah
cliffs of dover over semi-charmed life is actually genius holy shit
That was class. Love the Eric Johnson lead break!
This mix is unreal.
Thank u sirrrr
Another excellent piece of musical menagerie. This DJ has a very very unique gift, this is one of the diner mash ups I've heard from him, kudos...
It's as if DJ Cummerbund ripped a giant hole in the time-space continuum, and it sounds like nothing before
Well...He's not for nothing the only true God we all should worship 😜
only time and space?
DJ Continubund
This is such a great remix. I'm blown away each time I listen to it. ❤
Holy s*** this work so well
I have subscribed simply for your love of the Macho Man! OOOOOH YEEEAAAHHHHH!
This is a masterpiece! The Eric Johnson Cliff of Dover's solo was way too brilliant!
I heard this on the radio recently. The DJ only played the first chorus, but goddamn it works so well! Shoutout from Nova Scotia!
Wow... this is exactly like the 90s in my memories.
still jamming in may, i think this ones a keeper DJ Cummerbund
My man. I recently lost my father and it was a very sad month, but every day on my way to the hospital I was listening to your hilarious, catchy and well done mashups, and they were the only thing keeping me smiling through that sad process. Thank you.
Makes it all worth it
This. Is. The. BOMB!!!!!
I love Semi-Charmed Life so much. Thank you.
this is god tier, or whatever is above god tier, this is unbelievable. my ears are blessed
Pure brilliance.
I recently discovered this awesomeness. Always am surprised by the artists featured. Love hearing my hometown guitar legend Eric Johnson!
RIP DMX!
Amazing, Outrageous, Awesome, Perfection,......Damn, "I Saw The Sign"!!! 👍💕✌
Just dropping in to say rest in peace DMX, you will be missed
Who's here in memory of DMX?
RIP
damn you're good. that cliff's of dover guitar bit was perfection.
Look ma', he's doing it again.
Whatever you think of the mashups, there's no denying this is talent
You are an absolute genius in every sense of the word, and every video you upload just keeps adding to your legend.
This is the epitome of the sum being greater than the parts. I know every one of these songs and I have to say they are each better combined here by DJ Cummerbund than any of them was by themselves. This is true studio wizardry. When the industry gets wind of this, he'll be too busy making legends to make mashups. But until then Cheers Mate!
DMX in the same song as Ace of Base...and it's good. What a time to be alive.
The brain wrinkle that holds the nostalgia in my head just burst open and flooded the rest of my body for 4:18. Thanks. That was really fun. Subbed.
One of your best... among MANY great ones!! 😁🤘🍻
I keep coming back to this one. That solo should be illegal. You mad lad.
Good use of Ace of Base as the main underlying song, with Third Eye Blind and DMX in accompaniment. 😎☺👍
Seems like the perfect time to release DJ Cummerbund Pogs. ✌️
This is frickin' awesome. The Cliffs of Dover part is my favorite part. Well done, maestro. Ooooooohhhhh Yeeeeaaaah!
AMEN! !! DJ CUMMERBUND IS THE SIGN !!! He is the pinnacle "MAESTRO" of all things musical. A great or distinguished figure in any sphere.
My favorite mashup of all-time.
Two of my most favorite 90s pop songs! 🥰
Cliffs of Dover. Excellent!
Genius.
i cant listen to these songs individually anymore
This video is the most religious experience Ive ever had, and I spent the first 20 years of my life going to church
PREACH!
Ooh! YEEAH!
As usual, I'm in awe of your creativity.
Okay, this takes a very close second place to my favorite Earth, Wind, and Ozzies. :) Great job!
