I hate on Jusin Bieber as much as the next person does, but there’s no denying how insanely epic his song “U Smile” is…when it’s slow down 800 percent! Twenty-year-old musician and producer Nick Pittsinger slowed down the track using a computer program called Paulstretch. What started as a joke quickly turned into an Internet meme of epic proportions. When played at eight times slower than normal, the song becomes a thirty-five minute trippy score that could easily find a home in something as cinematic as James Horner’s Avatar soundtrack. Listening to it really is a mind-blowing experience. What was once so annoying and shameful has turned into a musically precise and epic journey. Turn up your speakers, close your eyes, and enter the world of Pandora, erm…listen to a Bieber track slowed down. (Feel free to compare it to the original version here.)
