My new album Kygo is available June 21st! Pre-save now: kygo.lnk.to/kygothealbum

[@syedbadriz-5648]

People criticize Kygo for remaking old songs when the effort behind it is almost the same as creating new ones. Love from Malaysia.

[@bobhope7364]

Lots of artists are remaking old tracks these days

[@Nckmusic.]

as a music producer I'm always shocked for the amount of sounds and melodies that Kygo puts in the different sections, and still they sound so clean and full. Such an amazing composer!

[@julesp_2909]

exactly! when I try to put more sounds it sounds cheesy...

[@orkhan651]

That’s because they send final arrangement to mixing engineers and the cleaning it up

[@GrimReaper..]

​​@@orkhan651The sounds he selects go well with each other that's the main thing Mixing alone will not improve anything

[@Masonpresents]

@@orkhan651 exactly

[@drewonemusic6966]

​@@GrimReaper..yes sound selection is the main thing then mixing it is easy

[@foxtrot3362]

Kygo songs are not just melodies.There are emotional masterpieces.

[@kevinmabirizi9232]

It’s the small added sounds instruments that makes me listen to this song over and over . coz I always feel I am missing something❤

[@starlightsymphony1001]

世界中から愛されているKygo、音楽に関する情熱が一つ一つの作曲作業にも込められている。 Kygoの作曲メイキング映像、楽しんでいて、見れてとても嬉しかったよ。

[@damningheaven]

This is by far the best track in 2024. The effort is tremendous and that’s total genius how you looked into every detail. The drops and that main melody after chorus is heavenly. Thank you, Kygo, for bringing in Zak and Nile and creating this beautiful art. And you play ping pong so well.

[@muthribbahey6205]

OH MY GOODNESS, my favorite part was something that requires quite a lot of effort and inspiration to find. So grateful for this masterpiece that Kygo always bring, the Melodies ❤❤❤

I started my edm journey as a tropical house nerd with fire stone and his cut your teeth/younger remixes before he blew up. This brings me back to that era and im here for it all . One of the best 2024 tracks for me ❤ keep on rocking kygo. You'll always continue to be my favorite DJ ever! 🤘🤘

Wow, que creativo es kygo, ademas de que el produce gran parte de sus canciones solo y con tanta atención y minusiosamente, ademas que gran parte lo hace con su teclado y contribuye a que sus canciones sean una obra maestra y sean muy apreciadas por el trabajo y empeño ❤

[@Coachkeni72]

ONE OF YOUR TOP 5 BEST SONG TO DATE!!! I LOVE THIS SONG! MY SUMMER SONG #1

[@snaak25]

See you in the Netherlands ❤️

[@yyoutoep]

I hope

[@blankspace0000]

I think part of the reason Kygo's music feels so emotive despite being (relatively) minimalist is the fact that he plays so many of the synth parts in on the piano. Even if they end up getting quantized or edited just the fact that he is jamming out parts physically instead of programming them in gives them a really natural and human feel I think.

[@gautamsinghkushwah3592]

Please make more videos like this!!!

[@monic_rom1520]

That piano❤️🙏🏼

[@BastardBike]

The best 🎵

Excellent job on the track, Kygo. This version has to be hands down better than the original.

Kygo❤

[@joeheaton4478]

10:00 in when he just bangs that melody out & knows he’s hit jackpot straight away. Wow🤯

[@joa4909]

🔥🔥

[@jaypemusicofficial]

a very interesting watch! seeing how its made. sometimes the first melody is the best melody! I go through a similar process, try a hundred ideas till it works out.

[@NilsNils-mn1sd]

I Still Won ❤🎶💯

[@AVC2323]

Please realease it a version with this melody playing more time in the song or for a longer time
