Here we can discuss the Synthesis reworking of Lithium. Lithium, don’t want to lock me up inside Lithium, don’t want to forget how it feels without Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow Oh, but God, I want to let it go Come to bed don’t make me sleep alone Couldn’t hide the emptiness you let it show Never wanted it to be so cold Just didn’t drink enough to say you love me I can’t hold on to me Wonder what’s wrong with me Lithium, don’t want to lock me up inside Lithium, don’t want to forget how it feels without Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow Oh, don’t want to let it lay me down this time Drown my will to fly Here in the darkness I know myself Can’t break free until I let it go Let me go Darling I forgive you after all Anything is better than to be alone And in the end I guess I had to fall Always find my place among the ashes I can’t hold on to me Wonder what’s wrong with me Lithium, don’t want to lock me up inside Lithium, don’t want to forget how it feels without Lithium, stay in love Oh, I’m going to let it go Out of respect for those who are waiting for their show or for the album release to wait to hear the songs, I'm advising and please asking, if you're posting anything that will give away any great details to the song, please use spoiler tags. Thank you!

So many thought Lithium was the gonna be the most disappointing. I've just listened to Lithium off of Synthesis, and I think it far exceeded my expectations. Especially the backing-vocals, they add so much depth to the song. |

I like intro to this version. Reminds me of a wintry place like the music video.
I don't have much to say about this song since not much is different.

Oh my goddddd this version is amazing. I like that it isn't as heavy.
And omg the instrumentation and the decoration. Amazing.

This is the only one so far I'm pretty disappointed with. Everything is great until it gets to the middle. The strings are nearly inaudible in the climax of the song, where the clunky chimes are louder than everything else... And then WHY with the percussion starting in the second verse? The vocal performance is FANTASTIC here, but there's that tapping under everything that just doesn't blend at all. Really the percussion in the final chorus doesn't need to be there either. Amy delivers, but the arrangement is clumsy and certain elements feel tacked on. It really hurts the second half of the song. The strings and piano were carrying the song to its natural climax, it didn't need any percussion for added intensity.

I’m not sure why people dislike Lithium. It may not sound that different, but Amy’s voice seems much richer and fuller and it gives the song a different quality to it if that makes sense.

One of my favourite part from the original version were the background vocals. I feel like Amy got into my head haha. I love what she did with the vocals here, especially at 3:06-3:08 and 3:52-4:00. I think a version of Lithium with only vocals, like Oceania on Medulla would be really awesome.

I really like this version. The only thing I wasn't too sure about was the "live" version of the vocal Amy does towards the end. I understand they seem to have been going for a truer, live vocal performance through most of this album but just that one moment didn't really work for me - it has to be sung that way live perhaps, but on a recording it just kind of sounds uncertain, like she's forgotten the words!
But a beautiful version nonetheless.

So after lots if listens, I gotta say, I really hate the percussions when it goes into “darling, I forgive you after all.” I always turn around because it sounds like someone is sweeping the floor behind me. Lol. I think it’s so unnecessary and takes me out of the song. Otherwise, I love what they did to the song.

Funny stuff lol |

I guess Amy wanted to sweep us off our feet.
