    Sometimes you listen to a song you love so much that you end up still liking it but it’s impact wears off. Thank you for making me remember what it was like hearing Idioteque for the first time.

    I've just heard this five times in a row. I love the atmosphere of the original song, but this is purely dramatic.
    And I f-cking love it.
    I discovered this in a hard time in my life, and this cover makes me sing "HERE I'M ALIVE" to help me recover from my sadness.
    Thank you very much.

I am blown away by how you reimagined one of my favorite songs of all time. It's hard to explain but it totally "feels" different while "feeling" completely the same. Seriously top-notch work.
