jeWelste - This Is What It Feels Like (Armin van Buuren)

Coverband jeWelste speelt niet enkel bekende songs na, maar maakt ook eigen bewerkingen. Zo leverde een verrockte versie van 'Pour un Flirt' (Michel Delpech) de band in 2009 een zomerhitje op. In 2011 kwam jeWelste met eigen versies van 'Grenade' (Bruno Mars), 'Firework' (Katy Perry), 'Someone Like You' (Adele) en bewerkten ze in het kader van Serious Request 'They Dance Alone' (Sting). In 2012 oogste de band veel succes met hun uitvoering van 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (Queen) en het afgelopen jaar werden speciale bewerkingen opgenomen van 'Royals' (Lorde) en 'People Help The People' (Cherry Ghost / Birdy). Ook een intieme huiskamerversie van 'All Of Me' (John Legend) werd vastgelegd. Vooruitkijkend naar het nieuwe festivalseizoen deze keer een flink verbouwde dance-track van eigen bodem: This Is What It Feels Like van 's werelds populairste DJ Armin van Buuren.
Dutch coverband jeWelste doesn't only copy well-known songs, they also create their own versions. A rock version of 'Pour un Flirt' (Michel Delpech) became a small summer hit for the band in 2009. In 2011 jeWelste released their own versions of 'Grenade' (Bruno Mars), 'Firework' (Katy Perry), 'Someone Like You' (Adele) and a special arrangement for Serious Request of 'They Dance Alone' (Sting). In 2012 the band received a lot of recognition for their recording of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (Queen) and last year jeWelste released their own versions of 'Royals' (Lorde) and 'People Help The People' (Cherry Ghost / Birdy). They also gave a peek into their living room with an intimate live recording of 'All Of Me' (John Legend). Looking forward to the festival season, this time jeWelste presents their interpretation of a dance track that was created not far from home: This Is What It Feels Like by the world's most popular DJ Armin van Buuren.

I'm taking a wild guess you didn't bother to translate the song before you decided to play it . Your tempo is wayyyyyy tooo fast! this song is actually a ballad, about someone who has lost their lifelong best friend. It was never meant to be a 150bpm dance tune. even at its original recorded 128 bpm, the artist was not happy, but caved to the fact that Armin was willing to sign him on if they revamped it to his style. If you translate and actually listen to the lyrics, you'll understand this isn't a song to dance to.
