You're The Best Thing About Me (Kygo version)

Agree with you that the band mix is poor (although I really, really like it). It could have been a more solid and coherent mix. But the quality of the mixes has dropped overall since they dropped Eno/Lanois.

To me, this Kygo thing feels like a Coldplay move. They don't make music like they used to. Instead, they rely on edm.

I don't know.. I like the idea of an edm mix supporting the single. I don't like an edm mix to be the single, backed up by a band mix. Don't get me wrong here: I do like the Kygo mix

Is there any way to hear the original?

I suppose that's fair.

I guess at the end of the day, I just wish their version was better, in a general sense of the word. Really, I shouldn't like an EDM remix more than a "U2 version". U2 is my favourite band, my taste in music was basically built around their style, etc. - and I usually hate EDM! Maybe it's Bono's vocal that's saving this one for me, or knowing U2 had a large hand in it.

But yeah, I wish I liked U2's version better than this. Hopefully the album version turns it around.

The interwebs. It's all out there already, if you search for Best Thing on Facebook you should be able to find it.

Apart from the lyrical changes and the few things added, it's 90% the same to my ears.

the version last year seemed to pack more punch and flow better with the original lyrics and structure
