3. As you can see, the two songs do have some similarities, but are very different. The speeds vary, the rhythm comes from different instruments, and likewise the grooves are completely different. In fact, the only similarities the two songs have are some of the lyrical content, and the fact that they both build emotionally toward the choruses. They have different heights, widths, and depths, and even the things they have in common (lyrics and emotional architecture) are still distinctly different.
Being that they are two completely different songs, I feel as though I cannot pick a favorite. Each evokes different emotions and memories in me. The original version by Incubus is much more familiar to me and feels welcoming, like a hug from a best friend you haven't seen in five or ten years. The house remix, on the other hand, is much more upbeat to begin with and I happen to associate it with some awesome memories of partying, living it up, and generally having a good time. Both are great songs and mean something special to me, and because of that, I love them both equally.
