Life – and Justin Bieber – in the slow lane

Life goes by pretty quickly, sometimes you just need to slow things down and really savour them.

But would you say that about Justin Bieber's music? If you're not a fan of the Bieb, do you really want to savour his music? I never thought that's something I'd want to do.*

Turns out, slowing down Justin's music is a cool idea! First, if you don't know it already, here's Justin's song "U Smile" at its normal speed.

And now, what's this? Beautiful whale song? No! It's the same Justin Bieber song, played 8 times slower than the original. Thanks to musician Nick Pittsinger, poppy, sugar-sweet Justin becomes entrancing, relaxing, atmospheric. Well, sit back and imagine you're swimming with whales.

This version on YouTube is only ten minutes long. To listen to the full 35 minutes, go here.

*If you are a Justin Bieber fan, like this girl, I don't mean to hate. His music (at normal speed) isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure I like stuff that you think is the ultimate cheese.
