I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos totally unrelated to music, and I hear the instrumental version of this over and over, but until now I was never able to find out about it. I had the earworm, I just recorded it and played it while on the road. I found out that since he purposely didn’t copyright it, there were scores or hundreds of similar derivative tunes. I backtracked and finally came across these other artists, and I finally caught up with this guy, Alan Walker. This one song, “Faded” has over 1.8 Billion (with a B! ) views on YouTube alone! Looks like hundreds of millions of others are loving his music! You can search for his name on YouTube and find his and other artists.
What’s the matter with me? This version is so melancholy it brings tears to my eyes. Faded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDmzGLrdjxQ&list=PLa84ByUjbtqNalEYnkql2_mAGBY2Xkhi1
