Whenever I find a song that I like I tend to always look for the remixes. For this song, a sample of the other remix is here, which is from an earlier post. What's up with all the different remixes? The concept behind a remix is to add a different element to a song such as making it more upbeat by speeding up the song a little bit and a stronger bass. The body of the song is the same and the melodies are the same. If you liked the original, listening to a remix of a song is very enjoyable most of the time.
The sample you get by clicking the image is a "coldharbour mix" whereas the other remix is a "sacred light mix". The difference lies in the ambient sounds during the melody. The melody in this song is the high pitched string sound you hear that starts low and slowly loops toward higher notes. In the coldharbour mix, the sound of the melody is very clear and crispy as you can imagine the water to be at a 'cold harbor'. The ambient sound is only the 4-4 drum beat, an occasional vocal, and the echoes of the string notes. In the sacred light mix, there is also a 4-4 drum beat, an occasional vocal, and echoes of the string notes. However, there is shuffling sound throughout the body and during the melodies, there is a soft violin ambient that adds that uplifting element to the song, hence the reason for 'sacred light remix'. If you really pay attention, each remix has an element that makes it its own remix. For these two remixes, the coldharbour remix is clear and crisp like the cold air that literally is a 'chill' song and the sacred light remix has an uplifting aspect to it that restores energy. Even a little tweak in a song is enough to influence your mood in a different way.
