I'll never forget being 23 years old in 2013 and building an ikea desk while discovering this song! Still my favorite tracks of the 2010s. Such a great feeling finding this song for the first time!
Essentially I believe they needed to make it different enough from the original to have an excuse to sell it again, giving the money to the new record company. Unfortunately, we all love the old one way more cos it's so much better
This is surely more dynamic than the album version, but I think that "My Love Is Cool" sounds.... cool and, even if it's not so dynamic, it's not even so brickwalled (it's rated with a 7 on DR Databese)
I like both versions for different reasons. I love the extended intro in this one, and the delayed 'wha's in every chorus. But I prefer the lead guitar and chorus in the album version, and think that the bridge ('are you wild like me') is far more impactful on the album version. If only there was a supercut:(
Regarding some comments: The Beatles, before George Martin sounded 'rough'...and Pink Floyd too, also U2 and The Cure... producers know their job. If you dig deeper, you'll find a lot of artists who are more than grateful to those sound engineers, experienced producers and all technicians who were able to 'polish' their music, knowing the gems they had in their hands in early stages.
For all those who are bitching about the album production: how do you listen to music? Which audio system? Do you know who Mike Crossey (the producer) is? I think if the album had this success, most of the credit goes precisely to the production: it's quite dynamic (at least by the modern standards), it has a great soundstage, all the instruments are clearly hearable and the vocals come through pretty well. Maybe this "Bros" version is a little bit more dynamic, but, in my opinion, the album version is much more effective and gives more "colour" to the song.
Love both versions of the song, don’t know why but I prefer this version, I think Ellie’s vocal delivery is better and like the instrumental sound is better. As for the hook I kinda felt like that was the weakest part of the song (it’s still a good hook though). Regardless which version it’s still a great song that introduced me to Wolf Alice who are now one of my favourite bands.
+Erwin Escalera The fitting footage from a few of the films are as follows: Dreamers, The Bling Ring and .......well......those are the only two I know.
Don't get me wrong, the album one is good, but this one is (in my opinion) much better. If it was a band choice to tone this version down for the album, fair enough, but I bet it was the label who thought of the idea.
+Jake J (GtaGamer8792) Ellie added a refrain “ Are your lights on, Are your lights still on, I’ll keep you safe, you keep me strong" and live I have heard her sing 3 different versions sometimes substituting the line " I’m pretty sure” instead of “I’m quite sure”. Live the song is awesome!! they are young and just coming into bloom as a tight knit unit. All the versions stand on their own merits, Sometimes songs need to be played out and allowed to evolve and mature, As a fellow songwriter I feel a kinship with these young folks. I feel many more great things will come from this partnership called "Wolf Alice” They are just warming up, Cheers 😎

This is vastly better than the newer version as others have said. Why do producers brickwall modern recordings and make them sound plastic? It sucks.
Completely agree

The soul is in the imperfections. Polish out the imperfections, polish out the soul.
I remember the day this disappeared from my music library, erased as if it didn't exist in the first place, I was truly gutted.

I love both versions too. I love how both sound and feel different, yet you can't exactly tell where or when, unless you know how to.
it's missing that back echo effect that this one has kinda reminds of the pumpkins 1979
+romeo corgan exactly!!!
+romeo corgan Exactly !!
i miss this version so much
Repeating what everyone else says so Wolf Alice can see the truth - THIS VERSION SHITS ON THE NEW ONE! BRING IT BACK!
I'm glad they get paid to do multiple versions ... this band deserves millions.
So much love for this song 💕
this video is so hispter i cant deal with it
This is what I would dedicate to my best friend if I ever get to have one.
Revisiting this version for the first time since 2014-ish
NPR tiny desk concert version of this song is best version.
The description is perfect!
Ps. Life is strange brought me here
justawanderer This prequel was awesome ❤️❤️❤️
whoahh. this is a great version!

People can have their opinions, please relax with “do you know who so and so is”

i like em both :/
I agree ben
I like how this chorus rides without lyrics. I hate the other version.
The album version hits deeper for me. This one doesn't have the same atmosphere or punch. It's too unrefined.
Agreed.
Cool vid.
beggining sounds like silverson pickups
Cool Video
Clearly the better version.
3:50 what’s the film?
Stranger Than Paradise
I believe this film was 'The Sundays' favourite film@@theinfinitepassportTV
@@matanhale it's fantastic, very cool movie
Wait wait wait, were those Ashley Benson and Eva Green???
+Alma Ruppén Corcuera it's a clip from the film 'the dreamers' which is v v good and so is the book
Where is 1:08 from?! Someone please tell me!
Adam Gordon I believe it's called The Bling Ring..?
Can anyone list all the movies/shows in this video?
I've only recognized two movies from the videoclip: "Zazie dans le Metro" by Louis Malle (0:36 , 1:29) and "Bande à part" by J.L. Godard (3:28)
The Bling Ring 0:20 directed by Sofia Coppola The dreamers 0:28 directed by Bernardo Bertolucci
About 8 posts down.
0:08, 0:44 and 3:45 are all from Stranger Than Paradise. And 0:51 is Spring Breakers.
What clips did you use?
+Erwin Escalera The fitting footage from a few of the films are as follows: Dreamers, The Bling Ring and .......well......those are the only two I know.
+David Keematch Cool. I did not recognize the rest of the footage or actors.
+Erwin Escalera Louie Malle's " Zazie dans le metro "
+danié a Thanks for the update. We are still missing one or two, I think.
+AmanOU2be Jim Jarmusch 's " Stranger than paradise " and Jean Luc Godard's " Bande á part "
I prefer album version.
this version sounds so boxed in compared to the other version, misses some of the amazing vocals but does a bit more raw
What's with the bitching? The new version is higher quality and less raw. There's literally no reason to gnark on the album version.
Don't get me wrong, the album one is good, but this one is (in my opinion) much better. If it was a band choice to tone this version down for the album, fair enough, but I bet it was the label who thought of the idea.
+Wrastor Master There is if the reason it was rearranged was because of the label.
+O-Range really liking both versions, lyrics seem clearer in this older version to me. But new video is more feel good for me at least.
+O-Range 'less raw' doesnt mean better
