It took me awhile to get into this song, but I like it a lot now.
And I found some remixes that helped me get into the song a little more.
DJ Polar Mix
Diffusion Dance Mix
The DJ Polar Mix is not bad. The beats resemble Chris Cox's mix of "One Word." The mix sounds like it uses the album version for the vocals as there probably is not and official acapella out. The vocals feel like they are sped up a bit too much and have that "too fast" sound to them. But it's worth a listen.
Then the Diffusion Dance Mix is much better. It too uses the album version. The vocals don't sound over-sped up here. A very small bit of vocoder is used on the vocals on the chorus maybe to cover up the fact that they may have been speed up. This one is a bit more laid back. Of the two, this is the better one, IMO.

I have the Diffusion, and it sounds like they're usuing an alternate acappella. Doesn't sound like James Blunt is singing the song. I would love to hear the Polar mix

both sound really cheap and amateur. The DJ Polar mix uses vocals that are sped up so much that some syllables are missed and words seem disconnected while generic and irritating drums flood the whole song. The former situation applies to the Diffusion Dance Mix also.

Yeah, I have the Diffusion and it doesn't even sound like James.

The Diffusion one is the one I got, and it is a bit too sped up (vibratto sounds strange), but the song itself and the arrangement is nice.

I like the idea of the Diffusion mix,,,i have no problem with the backround music at all (besides the fact that it sounds cheap), but the vocals are disgusting,,it sounds like some guy is singing over them, they arent in the right pitch or something. As far as the vibratto goes in the chorus,,i kinda like it, lol.

I've been waiting for these. Disappointing so far. Too chill, and too messed-up vocals. The DJ Polar is awful. The Diffusion is worse, because the vocals aren't even James's. Shortening each syllable is not cool. I think a high-energy Euro-style mix would be really interesting for this song.

Ooh (I mean ew), I just heard the DJ Polar remix, and while it sounds slower, the glitching of the vocals is shocking to say the least. Not nice. The Diffusion mix is tolerable, and I actually think that it IS the original vocal, just sounds a bit different due to sped up.

I like their remixes a lot, but they've done A LOT of trainwreck covers lately. I think the worst was Belle Lawrence attempting to cover Nadia Ali's voice for "At The End." WHAT A MESS. |

But it's like what the fuck is up with their latest ones?! Why did they need to cover Iio's "At The End"? It had a good number of mixes that would work with different crowds. Same with the Pussycat Dolls one. |

The vocals are what kill both these versions of the song for me. Speeding up the vocals and skipping syllables so that they sound on par with the instrumental doesn't work in either case.

There's a reggaeton mix of this. I wish I were joking.  |

That isn't an official one, is it? Can't find mention of it anywhere.

Not bad.... it's the closest I've heard to what I'd want a dance mix of this to sound like.

I like this more than the original. Maybe they should put this on iTunes and milk this song for every last drop. |

It gets annoying after a minute. I couldn't even listen to the whole thing.
