I Used to Have It All Tory Roucaud I used to have it all figured out, I used to have my route all planned out. I used to have it all figured out, I used to have my map all penned out. And now I'm lo-lo-lo lost lo-lo-lo lost lo-lo-lo lost lo-lo-lo lost... I'm lost. I don't know where to start, all I know is that you stopped my heart from pump-pump-pumping pump-pump-pumping pump-pump-pumping pump-pump-pumping... my heart. I used to think we were soul mates, but now I'm left face to face with fate. All the others, they leave me cold. I thought we were to grow old to-ge-ge-gether ge-ge-gether ge-ge-gether ge-ge-gether, my love. All these memories swimming in my brain- sometimes I think we could relight that flame, but no, it's too too too late, too too too late, too too too late, too too too late for us. All I can do is hold me head up high, grab Fate and stare her in the eyes and say Hey hey hey hey what's in store today? I'm taking it day by day, taking (it) day by day. I used to have it all figured out, I used to have my route all planned out. I used to have it all figured out, I used to have my map all penned out. And now I'm lo-lo-lo lost lo-lo-lo lost lo-lo-lo lost lo-lo-lo lost. I used to have it all... I used to have it all... I used to have it all....

about

One of the great social achievements of a musical artist is to change sorrow into beauty, sadness into song. Tory Roucaud's “I Used to Have It All” released here as a pop/folk arrangement and as an art-pop remix of that arrangement exemplifies this artistic transformation. It is an experience of catharsis induced by inspired melody. We hope you feel that.

Rather than force a rigid structure on the art-pop remix, most of the decisions I made were attempts to emphasize moments of deep musical sensitivity to timing and melody in Tory's performance. I did so by using her guitar and voice to create echoes that live in place of her strummed guitar in the chorus sections. I also added windy noises, because I thought the sound of 'just missed' or 'lost in the woods' was fitting to the mood of the piece. The contrast between sections is dramatized still more by the breakdown of the beat, causing the listener to hold to Tory's voice like a light in the shadows.
