Damnit. He morphed this into XYZ. This is so much better. You can totally hear the this theme underneath the "du duh, du dah, du dah, du dah" in XYZ This is what "Hit Save" shoulda came to be. IDK. Maybe my ears are deceiving me. This is so good. I remember him working on this during a Twitch stream like end of October/1st of November, 2019. Left such an impact I remember the the time frame. Thanks for posting this.

How has deadmau5 not won a Grammy in his career is beyond embarrasing

THIS!!! I freaking hope this version gets an official release! Nothing against Resaved he's been playing at live shows or Unlucky, but this version just slaps in such a beautiful way, I can't live without this.

I understand that any artist has complete creative discovery and control over the final product; however, Resave (the latest Deadmau5 rendition of Hit Save) is a big letdown with a lack luster and mediocre composition layout compared to this haunting masterpiece. I hope that we can hear the final refined vocal version of this track, with all verses, using this original tune, or at least have another artist remix the track to match this tune after it is formally released if, indeed, Joel does decide to keep Resave in its current form.

oh man i remember tumbling upon this one when it was still up on deadmau5's channel , it's a fantastic edit of an already great track .

vocals are from Over the Hill by Wax//Wane

I love how deadmau5 can make these simple beats that you can loop forever and not get bored of. Just this chord progression and the arp, how amazing they sound?!

I thought this version was gone forever! I love it

You are doing God's work putting this back up. Bless you

This version of Hit Save > XYZ, I just gotta say it.

I hope he releases this version even if it is like Alt Mix, I love it and I thought it would be a long time before I could listen to it again, thank you very much for re-uploading it.

I see fire roaring out of control, out of control

Seeing as all videos of this are being removed, I assume this is getting released:o

Beautiful

The first minute and a half of this song gives me chills. This is why I love Joel's music so much. It evokes so much emotion. Thank you for posting. 🙏

"I see fire burning out of control, and I don't know what to do when it burns on through"

How have I not heard this before? I must have listened to Hit Save 100 times. It's my favorite Deadmua5 song!

I yearn for the OG 16min version, which is so fucking incredible and progressive, minimal, and spacey. If it gets released at all in any capacity I'll be happy but I think I still prefer the old ass mix.

I really hope he releases this. I love this version

Thank you, I thought I’d never hear this again
