I actually fell in love with the Remix first, because it's just tense and sounds like frustration, and always said the Original should've been called When Things Go Right, because it is a thing of true beauty. Both are amazing.
To be honest I’ve never really listened to the remix too much, but it is pretty cool mate.
the emotions pouring from the original version certainly hit hard though. Really pulls on those heart strings. The 2005 mix is also rather nice I thought

The Airwave remix is one of my favorites from him.
I think this track was overshadowed by the original and all the later reworks that were based on the original. It seems like no one wanted to capture the melancholy from the Airwave remix, so they went for the original instead.

I'd say it was more frustration with the Remix, and some sort of helplessness. Just builds towards those emotions, but never sort of resolves fully. The melody from the original plays in the background as a sort of a contrast and potential resolution, but the main melody overpowers it. Just lovely, smart work.

One of my top Laurent track. My soft spot will always be with Original even though its simple, I can drift away in its carefree spirit. The remix however is also so enjoyable and melancholic too. The way it builds...

If you asked me at gunpoint which mix is my favourite, I'd always say it's the remix.
But there's something so sweet and innocent about the original, and it always has a much bigger emotional impact. Just a perfect track to start your day. It's a big, warm hug in music format.

It was made with a lot of sadness and frustration. It was a period of time where Airwave was at his lowest point.
Jesus, that remix is something else. First time i have listened to in full, what a journey of a tune.
The original still holds a special spot. Takes me back to the days of the Gatecrasher compilations.

What happened? I know this track/album was released around the bankruptcy from Bonzai if I remember correctly.
Yes, that's one of the things that happened it was Lighting Records NV which became bankrupt in 2003. But I think it was owned by DJ Fly, Mike Dierickx (a.k.a. M.I.K.E., Push, and Plastic Boy), and Yves Deruyter. But I don't think it was main reason why he was angry at the time. I think he was facing custody issues and divorce at the time.
