These songs are virtually the same song but there are many differences between them. Lyrics are the exact same for each song but are sung by a man in the movies version, and by a woman in the silversun version. This really separates the song's feeling between the two versions but vocals is not the only differing factor. The melody is fairly different between the two because the instruments are emphasized and used differently from each other. The silversun version even adds new instruments and sounds to add the the emotion of the song. The structure is also very similar in both versions of the song but the silversun version emphasizes an intro and outro more than the movies version. The quality between the two songs couldn't be any more different. The movies version has a similar steady piano throughout the entire song and doesn't emphasize on anything other than it besides the vocals a little. The silversun version starts out slow and then picks up with steady drums and a keyboard that instantly amplifies the song in both sides. It is then accompanied by a guitar riff played during the chorus that is high in height and alternates each of side. I feel the silversun version has a lot more to offer in timbre as well as rhythm. The movies version may be more organized just from the fact that it is similar, but I also think the silversun version is quite organized as well. Overall I would lean towards liking the silversun version a lot better because I feel it adds a lot more to the movies version. Even though The Movies wrote the song, I feel that Silversun Pickups' version really added a whole new layer to the song while still maintaing the same lyrics. The real differences is emphasized between the vocals in the two songs and the higher pitched voice from Silversun Pickups adds a lot to the emotion of the song. They then put a lot more sound into the chorus of the song while the Movies' version just stays at a consistent pitch throughout the entire song.
