Ever get that feeling when you're shopping at a boutique and a really good track comes up but you have no other way to know the title than to attempt to mentally remember the lyrics? This was the exact feeling I got listening to this track — Except the difference was that instead of being in a boutique, I was in my room and instead of having to desperately google incoherent misheard lyrics, I had the song right in front of me.
Gold Fields, an electro group from Australia, has taken a whole new spin on Empire of the Sun's “Alive” adding a sophisticated flair and feel-good element to the track. I love “Alive” because it has a really strong MGMT vibe to it, and Gold Fields' remix doesn't compromise that vibe in the least! I especially love the euphoric build-up at 3:10 which progresses into a sax solo at 3:41 before the final chorus. Safe to say, I love this remix just as much as the original. Thank God I stayed home today.
