Bernie Stern it is not a person, it is just an abbreviation for "featuring" so it means Zedd (the guy you saw in the video) featuring Hayley Williams (the girl you saw singing w/ red hair). All clear?
Bernie Stern Do you mean Mr. Anonymous as Zedd? If he is, my answer is: those are not poems/stories, they are music. And how he have time to do music? Of course, that's what he want to do with his life and that shouldn't be asked.
These singers also see his talent, he’s not like a Steve Aoki that just presses play, he’s a musical genius and extremely talented. Zedd has been playing Mozart on the piano since like 4 years old
Her vocals are a prime example of hard ass work, if you watch some of her videos when she's recording, she separately records her voice on her phone to check out later. Incredible.
This is why Zedd stands out among the rest... He can survive the EDM industry on his own and not rely on mashed events like Tomorrowland and UMF. So proud to be a fan!!!
This has really made me appreciate the original more than I already did. Behind all of the synths, there’s a beautiful melody as the foundation of it all - perfectly complimented by Hayley’s flawless voice.
"8 years ago" Damn, I'm old 💀 I still sing this song like it just premiered yesterday. Music back then just hit different. The era of Zedd, Avicii, Alan Walker, TheFatRat and Martin Garrix. Bring me back to those times.😭😭
This song always reminds me of the girl I loved. We started off as friends for about a year or so, and eventually started dating. I remember we connected over our love for music, particularly when it came to Paramore. If you met her, it wouldn't be hard to see that she was a genuinely kind, loving, and funny person with a heart that cared so much about people, that I still, to this day, believe that the world does not deserve a wonderful person like her. This song came out around the same time we started to date, and we'd play this on our car rides going pretty much wherever we wanted. Some days we'd belt it out in the car, and laugh at our bad singing. Other days, some times on our not-so-great days, we'd still play the song on those car rides home in silence. Either way, it became one of those things that just, without thinking, became a part of our normal routine. The first time I heard it though, I knew I loved her. There weren't a lot of things I was sure or solidified on, in my convictions, but I knew that I did feel a great love for someone that I never had felt before that moment. On some of those car rides, we'd stop to eat at a fast food restaurant or a place we've heard about and wanted to visit. Usually if they gave straws for our drinks, she would carefully extract the straw out of the paper wrapper and fold the wrapper into a three dimensional star and give them to me. I kept them in my glove compartment to remember the number of dates we've been on. Eventually, she saw where I kept them, and by this time, I had accumulated enough that it would just spill out. She bought a jar for me to keep them all, and after awhile it started getting close to being halfway full. A year into our relationship, I already knew how I wanted to eventually propose to her. On some anniversary, when the jar will, at some point, be too full to hold any more of these paper stars, I'd count them with her to see how many memories we've made, even if we may not remember all the places we've been. Towards the bottom of the jar would be the ring and I would have proposed right then and there. It's corny, cheesy, I get it. Most romantic things are. There are memories you can make with people even if they may not have been particularly remarkable or memorable, and I believe that over time in a relationship, they start to blend in and not matter as much as when you first begin getting to know one another. It's not to say that we love anyone less, but the security in knowing that the love is present, makes us blind to understand that without maintenance and attention, that love won't be around forever. Words were exchanged, and eventually things dwindled away. Still, I've always wanted the best for her, because her happiness means that she can find a love in her life that I wasn't able to give. She's engaged now, and in retrospect, I'm just happy that we were able to be in each others' lives at the time that we met. Still, this song instantly takes me back to those long car rides, and the best and worst memories to come with that.
Reading this in deepest crisis of my life. And it brought tears to my eyes. You told your story so well, I could feel the love in all your words. Wish you all the best, wherever you are!
@@LT1 Other artists write and compose their own songs. They are by literal definition a musician. Just because you dont like the fact that other artists dont play an instrument and are successful while you are a failure whining on youtube comments doesnt change the fact that they are real musicians.
fantastic ! Hayley is one of the most greatest singer and her voice perfectly fits the melody and lyrics of almost every kind of song but this collaboration is so rad.
I'm a musician myself and eventhough I'm normally not into EDP artists/music,primarily because I'm a hard rock/metal drummer & its the type of music Im generally playing/ listening to (Five Finger Death Punch,Metallica,etc) this song has become one of my favorite songs and Hayley was the perfect vocalist for Zedd to colaborate with on this one.
