Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars - Dropwizz Remix

I usually find remixes of songs annoying. The person who put all of that time into remixing an already popular song is only trying to piggy back of its popularity and could have instead created their own music. In most cases they don't even really change the song all that much, just adding more of a bass. And while I still find that true fairly often, in this case I find this particular remix better than the original. The original is great, one of Coldplay's best probably. It has a very full sound and has the usual artistic and vague lyrics and is just generally catchy and uplifting. This remix however takes it to the next level. The vocals become more background and haunting. The melody is focused on but with synthesizers instead of piano in a way that just works.

I'm not entirely able to describe just how good this is. But to me, music is inherently difficult to describe because its so different of an experience from person to person. Give it a listen and let me know if I did it justice.
