Nothing like the original! The Jonas Blue version is ok!

That.
Tracy Chapman caught lightning in a bottle with that cut.
That whole album, actually.
I'm not surprised this version is a chart topper.
A good song is always a good song, regardless of the generation listening.
I wonder how many kids out there that put this on the charts have heard, or even know about, the original.

It's a great song, but I don't really respect it because Jonas Blue straight up jacked every aspect of Kygo's production, from the leads and background ryhthm plucks, to the playful, kinda gentle way he writes the melody. And then on top of that (stealing someone's sound) he also stole the song (I obviously realize the original is too old to put Jonas in any legal trouble). I don't know how you could get more disingenuous as an artist and as a creator. But other than that, it's a pretty good song.

It's crap. Period. It has none of the emotive impact of the original. BTW, Jonas could be in legal trouble - the original copyright does not expire for quite a few decades to come. The composer is still alive!
