[@chrollosecretbae3442]

lol yeah same it almost sounds like your floating away and your life is on a piece of thread, you slowly start to fade from reality, you scream as loud as you can and you hear someone says "come with me you'll be in a world of pure imagination " take a look" you see all your dreams but it all vanishes in a blink of an eye. You see children crying the animals dead from factories, the air quality is a slowly turning into a muderous poison for the human kind. You see your closets friends trying to change the world for the best you scream as loud as you can saying NO NO NO... you got all the wrong ideas- you hear gun shots and you realized the gunshot hit your crumbling heart ....

[@thealmightycommenter]

A lot of this is reharmonised! Same melody though.

[@theimpossible2704]

It’s not her, the original jean wilder version did that. The reason for this odd sounding sound is because of the minor chords on the keyboard in the beat.

[@d1nonlybaby36]

What i really love about this is the lyrics don't match up with the way the song sounds which leads it being seen in different ways 1: some sinister creature trying to lure you in with the promise of "a world of pure imagination" but its unable to hide its true intentions so the words it says don't match up with the vibe it gives off and at 0:52 something creepy happens with the music its almost like the monster droped its mask for a second almost showing it's true self 2: a person in a horrific situation is in denial and trying to lie to themselves, remembering better times to cope. but it's not the same, reality haunts the happy memories and turns them dark too 3: a person who used to believe in the original song, but has been hurt and lost their optimistic and innocent look on the world is now thinking back on the lyrics with their new view and reciting them with sarcasm feeling angry and lied to (kind of like the song "mad at Disney") Especially since 1:46 the way she says "compare" almost sounds like she's angry but trying to hold it in 2:39 want to change the world? "There's nothing to it..." That level of optimism sounds unfit and sarcastic in this version

I read a lot of comments saying; Gene Wilder produces joy, happiness with his song, Maroon 5 more chill relaxed feelings, while Miss Apple produces more darker sad feelings, but i disagree. Of course Apple's version is completely different from the original and sounds a little darker with the sad parts in her cover. But that doesn't mean her version is sad, she just captures a wider range of emotions in her version which also includes sadness, but just as much happiness.

[@susanzoeckler4926]

I've been listening to this song rather obsessively for about a week. Today, it occurred to me that the lyric line "Want to change the world? There's nothing to it." could mean that not only is changing the world something we all can do without the struggle and suffering we've previously endured if only we move into a realm of Pure Imagination, but -- also -- that in creating that beautiful world, we can't forget to include the Nothing. By "Nothing" I'm thinking of the kind of space that Zen Buddhism, Taoism, & other spiritual practices offer. The Nothing is mystery and wonder and joyous excitement about what we are crafting together as human beings embodied on Earth. Here we are. Let's see what we can do and much fun we can have.

Who else is here from the chipotle game. I got it and when I opened it, it played the animated video for this song with the scarecrow and I thought it was some like high-budget errie horror game with really good graphics that was free for some reason and I thought the video was what the game was going to look like. Then I realized it was just an ad for chipotle and the game looked a lot worse, it was still kind of fun but no where near what I thought it was going to be. The game felt like a really really short Wii Game. I still liked the game and I was sad that it was removed from the App Store like a few months after it released but it was still cool and we still have the music video for it

Fiona's take here goes away from the delight of imagination and into the realm of tortured genius imagination. It has shades of the boat ride to it.

I wonder what she would say drives her art in this direction at times. Definitely an unexpected combination.
