It depends on what feel you're going for.

It's an amazing song, but are you showing banger after banger? Is your footage smooth? And you'll have to slow it down quite a bit to make it match the song.

I've been disappointed in a lot of edits because they've been using super chill songs and then have banger after banger and they are not even remotely tied to the music...its confusing and doesn't get you jacked up like an edit should.

So no if you don't plan on putting some time into making the edit match the song (or vice versa), but yes, if you do plan on making it more than a song on top of some skiing.

song is untouchable after Devun Walsh had it in In Color. One of my favorite parts of all time.

^ example A of what chris.G said. Sick reel man, and no offense to your filming by any means, but the song just didn't quite match the footage/your style of editing.

Exactly what I meant. That reel had some real bangers but I didn't get as pumped when I saw them because it just didn't match or feel right.

I imagine simple man playing to some guy with a beard digging a whole in the sunset and then driving off into the mountains or something - random thought but its got a slow tempo so you'd have to match that.
