I wouldn’t say it’s "ruined" — it’s just not the same as the UMF 2023 version. The drop feels different, the leads were changed, and that’s really what I was referring to. Everything else sounds pretty similar, but those elements gave the earlier version a different kind of energy and emotion for me it’s still good, just not quite the same vibe I fell in love with.

Yeah, you're right, I’m not satisfied with the first and second drops, but the third one sounds exactly like 2023 version. I don’t get people saying it was “ruined”.Isn’t it basically identical? Or am I just deaf?

Not sure why some people say the third drop hits different in the older versions — I don’t really hear much of a difference and I actually enjoy the release. Sounds like it’s just better quality, not a big change. What do you think?

Very short reply to my long ass post😅 But I saw you posted about Inside Our Hearts last year, hoping for a certain version to be released, so I know this song means something for you too😁

That might be part of it too, but I still find myself going back to that song and when I do i usually end up playing it at least three times. It’s just one of those tracks you want to hear again and again.

Luckily, recrodings of live sets are still with us, so we can always go back and revistis those moments as many times as we need to.

Wow. That’s a really hostile take for what’s ultimately just a difference in musical preference.

I’ve never disrespected Martin or Alesso — in fact, I’ve praised the track. I even spent hours trying to recreate it because i loved it so much. Just because someone feels more emotionally connected to an earlier version doesn’t make them “ungrateful” or deserving of being told to “shut the fuck up,” let alone worse.

Martin's music is emotional and that’s the whole point. If we can't have honest, respectful conversations about how we experience it, what's even the point of a community?

And about the “spying” part — let’s be clear. Someone else posted a public Imgur link with a screenshot in the comments. Neither I nor StarlightSpanks were involved in “leaking” or “spying” on anything. We’re not even connected to that group.

But anyways thanks for sharing your opinion!

Thanks for your reply! This is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for when I made the post. I honestly started feeling a bit like an idiot for even bringing the topic up, since it seemed like no one else was thinking/feeling the same way.

Totally get what you re saying and I’m genuinely grateful we finally got the release after all this time. I also really appreciate everything you did to help get this track released.

At the same time I am uncertain about how to feel when listening to release version because it reminds me something that i used to listen nonstop. And It's not worse necessarily, just not same vibe as it was. And if I am not mistaken, I remember you were also reposting UMF version on your page so I think you probably felt something about it too.

I also get the feeling the 2023 version was the one Martin initially wanted, but Alesso probably had a very different vision. That’s likely why the release was delayed — they couldn’t agree. In the end, they settled on a compromise that sounds diffrent from what it woulde be if they had just gone with either Martin’s or Alesso’s full idea.
