Cover art for Across the Universe (The Beatles cover) lyrics by Fiona Apple

Well when I hear Fionna sing this song I hear a tone of melancholy. And that is odd given the context of the original song. I believe that Fionna is saying How lovely this idea is how much I wish it was true and how sad that it isn't. The word are the same the meaning is completely diffrent and that is a sign of an excellent artist. I believe the reason so many of us believe this song is better is that it reflect the disillusion that came with the end of the 60's.
