Just went and listened to the Kygo remix of TBT.
I think it's pretty easy to hear what the more straight-forward rock version will sound like. And I still hold out some hope for this one. I think if it gets a chance out there in the public domain, its sort of got an irresistible catchiness that could make it a moderately popular song.
I think the light "bounciness" in the chorus that is there because of the Kygo synth and beats will be improved on the regular version.
There is a part of me that likes the skittering vocal part (holding you, ah, oh, oh, ah, you, holding, you, etc..) is actually kinda cool. That i'm assuming will be gone, so I am holding my breath for what the real version will be like.
Really hoping to get some clarity on that later today!!
