I love both of these tracks, but the Fourth of July remix honestly hits an entire different section of emotion with me, I've probably listened to it thousands of times at this point. The pure sadness and grief of the original is replaced by a hollow emptiness in the PPD remix that I have not heard in any other song before. Owen Farmer
