MP3: Universal Poplab - I could say I'm sorry
"I could say I'm sorry but I'm not / Whatever I promised I forgot" That's got to be one of the most cold-hearted lines ever and it's made even colder on this Jens Lodén remix. He drags down the tempo and strips away the lead synth melody, letting the vocals carry the song all by their lonesome. They're also the loudest thing on the track and left raw so they stick out even more. I like the original a lot, but this makes the lyric more brutal and impossible to ignore. I love the way the churning bassline segues into distortion for the chorus, too. The video proves the band doesn't always take themselves 100% seriously, a virtue I always appreciate, but you'd never know it from hearing this alone.
