Susanne Sundfør • "White Foxes"Man Without Country RemixRecap slot: 1:40+
This song by Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør actually has multiple remixes by different artists. I chose this one because I really appreciate the almost ethereal sound it has, Susanne's vocals turn into captivating chanting and the electronic music amplifies the cold vibe of the original version.

WEEK FIVE Theme: Send a remix of a song that's better than the original.
ORANGE TREES (Bearson Remix) MARINA DESCRIPTION I know you all despise this song. And that is why I sent it. Because it's better now. About due time that one particular artist was sent in six seasons of Daniel's Song Race, but it never seemed to fit with any element and any challenge given up to this point, up to today - and the tea is that this particular remix was released today, right when I researched for more remixes I got the alert via Marina's twitter account. Do you believe in destiny? For reference, here is the official version of "Orange Trees" Orange Trees is arguably her worst song on her newest album 'Love + Fear' and universally accepted as a dread on the forums, and to an extend I agree wholeheartedly. And that is why I absolutely love the new take on this remix, the song seems more modern and danceable. After all, that is what the challenge is about, to send a better remix of a song. I'm a fan of hooks and intense beats and pitch elements in pop songs, a controversial and unorganic stance perhaps - there are two things that I really enjoy about this remix that make it my favourite Marina remix up to this point. Remixed chorus
O O O OoOoO Orange OoOoO OoOoO Orange Original chorus
OoOoOoOoOoO Orange OoOoO OoOoO Orange For one, there is a slightly altered production given in the infamous 'OoOoO' reducing the flow of the voice of Marina for just a bit, merging it with the beat of the song and I personally enjoy this one so much more than in the original take. Secondly, there are intense and increased pitch elements especially in the last post-chorus, giving you this flowing and tranquil final end to the song. Loving this remix so much more than the original.

"STAND BACK (DOMENICO TORTI REMIX)"
by Hyphen Hyphen
1:46+
To my opinion, this remix is, may be looking quite similar to the original song (that you'll be able to listen to this post below), but it also add the punch and the power that this song was missing and that most of Hyphen Hyphen's songs have.
The video just basically shows how's the group is having fun during their concerts and during the time they spent together.
The original song:
| LYRICS
Give it, to me, beat it And it’s closing time, and it’s closing time Give it, to me, beat it And it’s closing time, and it’s closing time
You got that something I need Aren’t you proud enough ? And now I follow my creed Am I precious enough ? You got that something I need Aren’t you strong enough ? Aren’t you strong enough ?
Won’t you ever stand back ? Oh I’m down on my knees, do you feel things inside ? Won’t you ever stand back ? Cuz you’re feeling so good while I’m bleeding so bad
Give it, to me, beat it And it’s closing time, and it’s closing time Give it, to me, beat it
And it’s closing time, and it’s closing time
You got that something I need Aren’t you proud enough ? And now I follow my creed Am I precious enough ? You got that something I need Aren’t you strong enough ? Aren’t you strong enough ?
Won’t you ever stand back ? Oh I’m down on my knees, do you feel things inside ? Won’t you ever stand back ? Cuz you’re feeling so good while I’m bleeding so bad
I’m running so mad
Stand back, stand back, stand back, stand back, stand back
Won’t you ever stand back ? Oh I’m down on my knees, do you feel things inside ? Won’t you ever stand back ? Cuz you’re feeling this good then I’m running so mad
Stand back Stand back Why won’t you why won’t you won’t you ever stand back
Won’t you ever stand back ? Oh I’m down on my knees, do you feel things inside ?
Won’t you ever stand back ? Cuz you’re feeling this good then I’m running so mad
Won’t you ever stand back ? Oh I’m down on my knees, do you feel things inside ? Won’t you ever stand back ? Cuz you’re feeling this good then I’m running so mad |

CAND ICE JULIA STONE • "IT'S ALL OKAY" (ACTIVE CHILD REMIX) (1:44+) (S06E05, REMIXED REALNESS)
The story is different now, the records are playing in the living room And you might say you're wounded, and I might say I'm hurt But we knew the difference then between the fire and the earth And we may say we're broken, we may say we're weak But we knew before we started, oh the secrets we would keep
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
I'll move to the country, and live inside the deepest, darkest wood And I'll write you a letter and tell you all the things I should say to your face And I won't send it to you, I'll send it to your mother's place And she won't give it to you, that's how brave I'll grow here in my cave
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And you'll move to the city, marry a pretty girl And she will make you smile all the while you'll be looking for what you left behind And she will bring you children and oh how you will love them with that heart of yours I won't visit you, I'll know by then the kinder thing to do
Oh it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
|
This was a tough week for me, because I am not really a big fan of remixes, but I think I found something promising. "It's All Okay" is a nice song, which I believe the remix makes it even more addicting. Active Child, have made it more mysterious and more sensational at the same time which can make you listen to the melody of the song, and put yourself into a magical journey, guided throughout the song.

"Remixes Realness"
This is my entry for week 5. Remix realness is a difficult challenge but, I hope my song will stir some emotion and bring you to a peaceful state.
Song:
The FatRat ft. Laura Brehm "Monody" (orchestral sJLs remix)
(1:14-1:29)
Why this song?:
When thinking of remixes, the first thing that comes to mind is an edm remix of slow song. I wanted to challenge that idea and go for an orchestral remix of an edm song. This song does just that and offers a deeper meaning to TheFatRat's song "monody". The original song is quite famous but the remix adds a whole other layer to this already great song.
How does it match the theme?
Daniel asked us to find a remix better than the original. The original version of this song is great and gives a sense of adventure but you tend to wait for the lyrics to come, which do not come until 2 minutes into the song. sJL's remix beings immediately with the lyrics, which are beautiful. The original version feels likes music with words but the remix blends both the lyrics and the music into one beautiful combination. When listening to the remix, I think of the deep thoughts I have while traveling in a car or a train. Her voice blends well with the music and it allows you to think clearly. The lyric " Mountains in the way, couldn't keep us from the sea" is a beautiful lyric about the hurdles in our lives and how we conquered them. This song looks back at these times where we were full of adventure and ready to conquer any mountain. The original version focuses on the adventures but the remix focuses on the reflection of these moments. I adored the original version years ago but, this remix made me fall in love with it again for different reasons. I hope you enjoy this song.
Original Song
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Summer in the hills
Those hazy days I do remember
We were running still
Had the whole world at our feet
Watching seasons change
Our roads were lined with adventure
Mountains in the way
Couldn't keep us from the sea
Here we stand open arms
This is home where we are
Ever strong in the world that we made
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Holding on, memories never change

"You Don't Get Me High Anymore" Phantogram (How To Dress Well Remix)
2.51+
It is a song that I got into recently and I finally get a chance to send it. Fun fact I barely could find this song on Spotify apart this remix cause when you search it, it 1st appears so remix kinda grew on me too while listening to it.
You don't get me high anymore by NY duo Phantogram is a song that talks about apart addiction the feeling of never feeling good enough. It also taps into this idea of wanting to feel something. Basically, wanting to feel something strong and doing whatever it takes to feel it again, because you know it feels good and you miss it. The remix gives the darker vibe to the song that focuses on dark topics as addiction and emptiness. Apart darking it also gives kind of chil, waiting vibe that reflects on song meaning more. I chose the remix cause I feel it reflects on what song is trying to tell than original as original is more upbeat, indie and makes you good than makes you think about the lyrics. Lyrics "Nothing is Fun" and "it used to take 1 and now it takes 4" is what depict the addiction of the song and the dark voice really gives the chills to the song. ORIGINAL:
| LYRICS
I don't like staying at home When the moon is bleeding red Woke up stoned in the backseat from a dream where my teeth fell out of my head Cut it up, cut it up, yeah Everybody's on something here My God send chemical best friend Skeleton whispering in my ear
Walk with me to the end Stare with me into the abyss Do you feel like letting go? I wonder how far down it is
Nothing is fun Not like before You don't get me high anymore Used to take one Now it's takes four You don't get me high anymore
Runnin' through emergency rooms Spinning wheels and ceiling fans My handshake, cellophane, landscape, mannequin faking it the best I can Cadillac, Cadillac red No hands on the steering wheel I'm crashing this save-a-ho puppet show UFO obliterate the way I feel
Walk with me to the end Stare with me into the abyss Do you feel like letting go? I wonder how far down it is
Nothing is fun Not like before You don't get me high anymore Used to take one Now it's takes four You don't get me high anymore You don't get me high anymore You don't get me high anymore
Walk with me to the end Stare with me into the abyss Do you feel like letting go? I wonder how far down it is
Nothing is fun Not like before You don't get me high anymore Used to take one Now it's takes four You don't get me high anymore
(High anymore) (You don't get me, you don't get me high anymore) (High anymore) (You don't get me) You don't get me high anymore

Week 5 - Remixed Realness Grace Carter - Don't Hurt like it used to (Besomorph Remix) Recap - 1:44+
This remix version is in my mind amazing. The remix shows so much depth and in a way shows its own side to the songs emotion. I feel the remix is a more cool vibe and at the same is really gripping. I feel for these reasons that It translates to a better unique version of the original version!
The lyrics mean a lot to me, I had and still have these people in my life, that I hope to always be there for me and offer me the support and advice for when I needed in times when I did, but I always got and still get let down. If I did get something, it was a half-assed response and they didnt care. This part of the song, really shows the meaning of the relationship between me and the song.
Oh I gave ya all of my expectations But no, you could never meet them It don't hurt like it used to
Took my head and fucked it up You made this heart of stone What you gave was not enough Oh and you go on and on and on And I've heard it all before Just being honest It don't hurt like it used to
All these expectations that you always expected, to always get let down, its the worse feeling. To know that you think you can rely on people but yet you get let down, you try to make plans and you try to make the effort to make something out of what you have but all you hear all these excuses and they "go on and on and on", of why they can't do this and that. This has led me to feel alone and like no one wanted to hang with me or found me a bore. Trying to stay postitive for your family, so that they believe that I am "happy" with the "reliable" friends that I'm with. When I am emotionally dragged everyday. I still get hurt by this....
But it dont hurt like it used to!
You never loved me like you said you did
You only showed me what a liar is
But all I needed was the opposite
Oh I, oh I
Oh I gave ya all of my expectations
But no, you could never meet them
Took my head and fucked it up
You made this heart of stone
What you gave was not enough
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
Took my heart and fucked it up
For that I won't forgive
Hurting me you called it love
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
I always try to keep it positive
So why'd you have to throw your weight on me?
But now I'm stronger 'cause I've lifted it
Oh I, oh I
Oh I gave ya all of my expectations
But no, you could never meet them
It don't hurt like it used to
Took my head and fucked it up
You made this heart of stone
What you gave was not enough
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
Took my heart and fucked it up
For that I won't forgive
Hurting me you called it love
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
It don't hurt me
It don't hurt me
It don't hurt me
Like you did before
Were you worth it?
You weren't worth it at all
Took my head and fucked it up
You made this heart of stone
What you gave was not enough
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
Took my heart and fucked it up
For that I won't forgive
Hurting me you called it love
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
(Took my head and fucked it up)
It don't hurt like it used to
It don't hurt like it used to
(What you gave was not enough)
It don't hurt like it used to
Oh and you go on and on and on
And I've heard it all before
Just being honest
It don't hurt like it used to
On a nother note, thank you to the specific forumers that have been there for me and you know who you are. All your suppport at anytime means a lot to me!
I know a lot of people on the forums go or have gone through some of depression sometime in their life. I wanna dedicate my song this week towards all the survivors of this and the people that are fighting to have a happier life without the people the drag us down and make us feel like nothing, and want to be an Ambassador to people all over the forum for this as I feel the stigma of mental health on the forum is huge, so I say to anyone wanting to message for advice, message me at anytime with anything you want to get of your chest and are worrying about! I am everyones friend!
We are survivors!

L’heure n’appartient qu’à moi

J’veux des images
J'en ai rêvé les cheveux au vent
