D2UR’s releases new single “Remember My Name”

On January 7, 2023, D2UR release their new single “Remember My Name”.

The signature part of this composition is the hooky melody riff that opens the track and reappears throughout the song. The lyrics were formulated on a pizza box top after a trip to Gull Harbour, Manitoba. After partying for the weekend and back in Winnipeg, we joined our friends around their pool for more fun. We ordered pizza and after eating, ripped the top off one of the pizza box tops, and began taking turns writing out song lyrics line by line until the cardboard was full. After the party, we took the pizza box top home and put it in our studio. It sat there for over a year. One day after we had developed an initial rhythm, we pulled out the pizza box and began developing the lyrical content for the song. We used some of the lines verbatim, but others were morphed as the structure of the song became clearer. The song is about being remembered after we are gone and our hope to carry on in the memories of those we have loved. We all want to live on forever.

Remember My Name

Riding high on the heels of their last release, D2UR are set to release their follow up single entitled “Remember My Name” which will hit the market on January 7, 2023.

We used some of the lines verbatim, but others we had to morph as the structure of the song became clearer. We often referred to the composition as “The Pizza Box “song. Celebrating the times we have had seemed an appropriate theme and tribute to those who love us, as the song is about being remembered when we are gone. It is a cry to live again, and again, and to be carried forth in memories of those who go forward.

D2UR New Single – “Slippin’ Away”

Work is complete on the new Single “Slippin’ Away” and the song is scheduled for release on November 14, 2020.

Upon returning from a well-deserved break in Palm Springs on March 12, 2020, COVID-19 hit Canada hard and the government put restrictions in place. Self-isolation for two busy people was going to be a challenge if we did not find ways to entertain ourselves. The city of Winnipeg, like others, was like a ghost town at times with very little traffic and fear. It did not take long for us to pull out our guitars and begin to run through ideas for new songs. The idea for Slippin’ Away was born on a catchy guitar lick Diane was strumming. We moved to our demo studio where we recorded and arranged the song. It took no time at all for the song to come together. That preliminary work was shared with our bandmates who in turn sent us back their parts. Once edited into the song, the session remained until we met with producer Murray Pulver. Murray suggested some dynamic changes that the band ran through and then hit Stereobus Recording to record the parts. We recorded the instruments live off the floor followed up with a few overdubs.  In the meantime, work began on the video for the song with Wornstar Media. Recording the final vocals and backing vocals occurred at Signpost Music in Winnipeg. A surprising add came about with Murray suggesting a gang backing vocal approach which really enhanced the song. The song truly catches the essence of our emotions and what the world has gone through the wrath of COVID-19.

D2UR work towards new single and video: Slippin Away

D2UR hit the studio with producer Murray Pulver on July 7, 2020 to record bed tracks for their new single “Slippin Away”. Vocal track will be completed soon and then mixing and mastering can occur. Release should be Sept-Oct 2020. The song is dreamy tune about the pandemic and experiences everyone can relate to during this unsettling time. The initial Demo tracks were created by Diane and Mike in the D2UR studio at the beginning of the pandemic. Both John Colburn and David Sikorski-Thorn social distanced and added their parts over the internet resulting in a true group effort.

Darryl Sterdan released a cool article on D2UR’s new video “Little Sunshine” June 1, 2020. Dig in, it’s a great read.
