[@allaurely47]

I would have seen this song being remastered as a jazz of a funky song, not as a song like that. The problem is that it doesn't retranscribe the effects the lyrics are supposed to have. In that song, we see jack being impatient to find the secret of chrismas. That song is too calm, and it makes it seem like he's depressed more than impatient

[@Schodboyblves]

mark linkous shot himself in the chest with a rifle so maybe that's why it sounds depressing

I swear, every other song on the album is amazing no matter how much it differs from the original... except this tire fire in my ears. It sounds like Adam Sandler sucked helium and was forced to sing at gunpoint.

[@GabrielleTollerson]

[@TokyoBoul]

I actually don't mind this version, it reminds me a bit of some of Modest Mouse's slower songs. Besides, there have been far worse covers on this album than this imo.

Thank you!!

[@agentadvocate]

This Revisited track peaked my interest in Sparklehorse, and they're a stunning band. It's an eerie, tranquil cover that breaks up the first half of the album & the second. It's not unlike some of their other acoustic indie stuff.

[@breadeater1194]

Exactly. It's a very different cover, but his original work is amazing.

[@AndrewSmith-qw5kt]

Well said. I'm glad your looked up Sparklehorse. Mark was such a great musician. So much beautiful music.

Why so much hate? I absolutely love how unique the vocals are.

[@alexandersmith9207]

How can that many people really dislike this. It exactly what'd youd imagine from a sparklehorse cover. Lyrical content wise, is also perfect for sparklehorse

[@tommycooper1700]

We don’t like sparklehorse. I don’t care if it sounds similar to other music they’ve done. If this is what they usually sound like, then their other music sucks too. Just because the singer is dead doesn’t mean I have to like it either.

[@nileakanile]

this is a great cover..there is a reason why it's called a cover they make it there own.

[@Punkthespian]

Guys, it's a cover. It's not meant to sound exactly like the original- Nightmare Revisited is all about these songs being covered and influenced by the artist that's covering it. Sparklehorse has very simple, laid back, music. That's why this song sounds so different. It's not bad or ruined- it's twisted around to fit the artists' style.

everyone is so harsh towards this song... i actually really like it. this song got me into sparklehorse tbh

[@zsedc4]

My sentiment exactly.

Unlike many others here, and although I'm not a big fan of the band, Sparklehorse's dainty rendition of the song don't bother me a bit. I find it rather touching in its simplicity.

[@ZeroSwitch]

Yes. You can never listen to the old version again without thinking of this. Ever.

[@AndrewSmith-qw5kt]

Better then the original I bet. You see, I'm not a little nerd who likes kid movie music. So I bet this is much better. Nerd.

[@sulffffffur]

Um. What just happened?

[@JHaru777]

Reminds me of hippies in the sixties. Especially since you'd really need to be on something to dig this. XD But seriously man, this isn't story time on candy cane lane, this is just way too out of left field and doesn't fit the song at all.

[@TraviscG1]

@Zeli2tear It's a predetermined feel from viewing the film. It's a very interesting take on it with an absolutely different feel. This is not at all a bad thing, just very different. Thanks for commenting Zeli!

[@lockard635]

[@RoseInBalance]

I would have to disagree with all of you, this is fabulous, and I think it came out exactly how they wanted it too. I'm a fan of Sparklehorse, I enjoy the art (:

[@RustyKnightX]

It's probably because it completely misses the original point and feel of the song. It just used the lyrics and literally nothing else. What a waste.

[@isaiahromero9861]

Sparkle horse is great, sad to see all the hate from people who don't know him in the comments but it's understandable, this cover is nothing like the original and has a completely different vibe from the entire movie lol

Not really a big fan of this one. Probably my least favorite on the album. It kinda competes with Flyleaf's cover of What's This for my least liked.

[@neshamishle]

I agree

[@whistlingstarlight2942]

Flyleaf clearly at least listened to the original song

[@uglyhorseE]

That is why the fallout boys version of what's this exists.

[@leviwinchester1097]

Flyleaf's wasn't that bad. Liked more than town meeting. Flyleaf's is coming out of a depression and seeing beauty in the world again. And Fall Out Boy's is what keeps you going afterward.

[@unpopularopinions7407]

While I’m not super fond of the voice, I do really like the tune of this. I’d love to hear a cover of this version.

This is a travesty though. The fact *so* many people dislike it should show *why* people are complaining. If something is terrible, it shouldn't get shielded from critical commentary, again, especially when the majority of people dislike this cover.

I love this. It's mellow and gives more meaning to the song but it's also kind of creepy and I kind of just love it. But it's so off from the actual song, it's ruined for me.

[@livmeentertainu]

To be honest it sounds like the artists of the cover got the lyrics of the song and made an complement to the lyrics without taking any inspiration from the source material and unfortunatly the tone of the song suffered for it. The music is too slow and "relaxing". The original is meant to be erratic and fast to meet the tone in that moment. They could have made it work with acoustic if they listened to the original.

all the people in the comments being like" wtf this is totally wrong!! who is the idiot that made this song?" as if disney weren't perfectly aware of who they were hiring to record this. they commissioned sparklehorse to cover the song, and that's exactly what they got. and if they were unhappy with it they wouldn't have used it. if you don't like it then well you don't have to. it's ok. the originals that you have fond memories of are still there, perhaps you'd be happier listening to those instead.
