A song to slit your wrists to: A Perfect Circle's cover of Imagine

[modernwizard]

Right here is an example of how a song originally done by John Lennon as a light, uplifting, optimistic, sincere, profoundly joyful song can be turned into the trudging, ominous dirge of recruiting cult zombies. It's not just the minor keys, the slow-down and the slowly, painfully thrashing drums. It's the way that the vocalist flattens his voice and draws out the least expected words -- "Imagine all the peeeeeeople..." Yeah, "imagine all the people" all right. When they're done listening to this song, they'll be too brainwashed to imagine anything. It's pretty awesome as reinterpretations go. Listen to it.
