When I first heard Troye Sivan's "Youth" I instantly fell back in love with an old relationship. It was one that had been the exact type of whirlwind he sings about, and I instantly gravitated hard towards his tune.
And then this morning, that same person that I had shared the space inside that wind tunnel with a few years back had sent me this remix to my inbox, from 3,500 miles away. I had never mentioned Sivan's "Youth" to her. I had never even written about it for her to know.
There's nothing I can really say about this smash hit remix that you won't read or hear about everywhere else. Yes, Gryffin performs his magic and creates a beautifully executed dream-pop jam that will leave you reaching out for the repeat button. Yes, it will make you want to dance, and yes, it will definitely be on the top of your list for jams to chat about this weekend.
But for me, the kicker to this remix is the way Gryffin completely changes the memories that come to my mind from that old relationship. Instead of all the softest memories of whispers and soft kisses, I get all the craziest moments we ever had. I go back to the wildest memories from inside that whirlwind that once was. Us in the middle of the French Riviera partying on a mega yacht shortly after leaving Cannes in 2011, snowboarding downhill at 1,000mph in Park City, our last kiss at Boulder Beach with an audience of penguins.
When the drop on this remix comes in at a minute and four seconds, try and think of the greatest moment you had with a lover. Hands raised high from the top of the Eiffel Tower or in the middle of a vast blue ocean on the tip top of a yacht. Feeling free; feeling nothing but glee. Enjoy this one and share it for sure.
