The final chapter (for now) in the Common Ground story, the “Bittersweet & Blue” remix package picks up the baton from Jono, Paavo and Tony’s recent emphatic club anthem, with two label debutants who have appeared under different guises.
With over a decade of experience, and still only 25, Amsterdam’s Jordin Post (previously known as Juventa) returns not only to Anjunabeats but to the genre as a whole. The last four years have seen Jordin diversify as an artist, releasing melodic bass music on MonsterCat as part of the highly successful duo of KUURO (alongside fellow Anjuna alumni Luke Shipstad, a.k.a Suspect 44). The move to using his given name is a symbolic one; channeling everything his learnt on his dance music journey and bringing it back to the progressive music he loves. Jordin’s “Bittersweet & Blue” remix is one of several releases to come with the Anjunafamily during 2020.
The initial tried and tested “Bittersweet & Blue” club rework hails from duo Lumïsade. Played throughout the original “Common Ground” album tour, the Finnish pair provide a progressive twist which has made them such favorites on Above & Beyond’s radio show over recent years. Another blast from the past, Lumïsade are K-System and Joonas Hahmo, responsible for Anjunadeep favorites ’Together’ and ‘Cocktail Bar’.

Lyrics “Bittersweet & Blue”:
I’ve got a photograph of you
Kept in a box of memories
And when I feel breakable
I take it out
And look into your eyes
Hoping you’d tell me what do to
Give me some guidance
Always unshakeable
Your voice was strong, and beautiful and wise
Look at the cloudless day
You captured me smiling
A fantasy life, you say
Is our silver lining
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They’ll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They’ll be bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Oh, oh
Bittersweet and blue
Maybe I left it late to say
You were my hero
Rising the falling sun
Whistling Elvis, striding through the snow
The thought of a weekend far away
Lasting forever
But when the day had come
The final bell concealed a body blow
Look at me now, you’d say
Drowning in sorrow
I guess I got lost today
But there’s always tomorrow
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They’ll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They’ll be bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
This is your life
Bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They’ll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They’ll be bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Oh, oh
Bittersweet and blue
