Most of you already reviewed the original track in the Album's review.
So i will review the Trance Mix, Carl B Remix, and Dirty South remix.

the Tiesto Trance Mix is purely the Tiesto quality, with his "signé" kickc, percussions, and bassline.
Very good intro actually, with gr8 elements, and good pads.. :) Vocals start at around the 2nd minute, with Christian Burns's gr8 voice (Tiesto met Christian Burns on MYSPACE.com btw!!!). Vocals are not cheesy at all; on the contrary, they are so emotional, and very good meanings! Tiesto's production in this version is good since it fits with the atmosphere of the vocals! Good work! :)

However, it seems that Carl Barrdahl did not get enough of the track, and wanted to convert it to a totally different piece. as usual, great sound elemtents used by Carl.. He starts with beats, and 6 measures later, some awesome strings start along with the vocals. It's just like a mini breakdown to warm up. Then GOD said "Let there be ENERGY", and here it comes! Carl B kicks off with a killer punchy bassline along with the beats.
Main breakdown is so emotional and dreamy; includes the strings heard before, plus a synth melody already composed by Tiesto (in the original), and then comes the melodies composed by CARL B with his unique uplifting synth sound! :) Variation is the key in this remix. Carl B tried to combine energy and emotions together, and he did that succesfully! This remix will definitely make eyes throw tears, and legs move! :)

Dirty South wants something different; DIRTY thing..! ELECTRO Filth is back again with these usual electro sounds and basslines. Not very creative, but for sure Electro lovers will adore this one, and yes, it is a dancefloor shaker! :)

after giving it a listen must say that the best thing to come out from this production is the Carl B rmx...the original production didnt appeal to me at all...as for the dirty south rmx i didnt find anything new or fresh & quite sincerely i didnt like it...

i am not bashing tiesto but it simply isnt a track for the ages...

if you want repetition, I think Crow got it right with his comparison of Elements of Life and Adagio for Strings, melody wise (Adagio's electric guitar, not the general melody of course), it's pretty much the same.
