  • This beautifully written song did not deserve to have such a murderous voice singing it

    I like Tay's version better

  • Taylor Swift was ASKED by the band to cover this song. It is NOT her song, it is theirs. Just look at the date on the video. Both versions are absolutely phenomenal, but always hold a special place for Luna <3

  • @upsidexdreamer Actually, Taylor's manager or record producer or something asked her to cover it for her Stripped performance. Because she re-worked it so much, when she got the permissions to perform it, the band/writers also gave her writing credit because of the difference in the arrangement :)

  • I love havin 2 versions of a song I love!!!

  • Hellooooo~ It's Luna Halo here. Scroll up please! :D

  • It feels like a Rock band actually covered Taylor in their own style! Taylor's version seems better...

  • I heard this band first on a local rock station. It was a great song, loved it, got the CD, kings & queens is another good song. But after listening to Taylor Swift's version, she completely changed the song. She turned it into a serenade while Luna Halo shares emotion in the words despite how "upbeat" it is.

  • I reckon Taylor's way suits the lyrics more

  • Taylor Swift's version is way better! It's so sweet and makes me feel like melting inside :)

  • it's so weird hearing this song this upbeat, i'm so used to taylor swift's version!

  • I love Taylor Swift, but to me, this version is far better :)

  • Luna Halo wrote this song, but then Taylor changed the lyrics around a bit and made it fit to her genre and perception. She did a wonderful job, and I prefer hers over this one...Even though I do believe both lyrics are intense, and perfect.

  • omg, i do not know how taylor made this song so her, but wow! so different!! :o

  • Okay.... I'm the odd ball posting on here. I knew nothing about Taylor Swifts version of this song. I learned about this band because the lead singer Nathan Barlowe used to be the lead singer for the 90's Christian Alternative Rap Rock band Reality Check. (I know it's crazy isn't it?) This song isn't bad, but I think that Reality Check had a better sound. Check them out and see for yourself.

  • all the dumb Taylor Swift fans posting on here make my head hurt. This song was probably written while you were still in elementary school... and no she didn't write it....

  • Comment removed

  • I PREFER TAYLOR'S VERSION SO FAR!

    ithis one is weird :S

  • My favorite part's the chorus :D

  • i still don't get what happens in the video... why the people are doing that...

  • I had no idea that Taylor Swift had made a version of this song until I saw the comments, I have no idea who wrote the lyrics first though, and I don't really care, Luna Halo is awesome. but then again last time I heard this song was 6-7years ago >< but I lost my music from back then when my harddisk burned out.. why am I coming up with excuses, I should just stop now x'D

  • Cary Barlowe (in Luna Halo) wrote this song for Taylor!

  • woah.

  • also like if you thought Taylor wrote this

  • like if you came here because of Taylor swift

  • Tylor's version is kind of broken heart, this one is more like "make someone else broken ~"

  • Comment removed

  • Taylor Swift's version is soooooo much better :(

  • I come here just to find out who is Luna Halo cause of Taylor Swift

  • Taylors' version is so much BETTER!!!!

  • I heard this one first, but I don't prefer Taylors version.. Up to about 0:56 is amazing!

  • LUNA HALO ROCKS AND THIS VERSION IS WAYYYY MUCH BETTER THAN TAYLORS! KEEP ROCKIN' BOYS :)

  • im a huge fan of Taylor Swift but...I like this version better lol :)

  • I think Taylor heard this song and realized no one knew what they were singing about, so she made it for people to actually understand :)

  • this compares nothing to taylors version. js

  • @RitaMusicLover You're right, this one's better.

  • okay, taylor's version actually sounds like music!

  • @allstarswift ... This sounds like music too.

  • @11010101101110111111 sorry, actually , once you listen to it more, you actually start to like it... it's pretty good, i'm just not used to it!

  • that is not what you should do in a zombie apocalypse...

  • Has anyone else noticed how the video has nothing to do with anything?

  • very different from taylor swift i like taylor swift better lol

  • Honestly, I like both. You kinda have to be in one of those "Grr, I'm mad at the world" moods to love this one and "I'm sad and feel like dying" mood to get into Taylor's.

  • I member listening to this wen taylor swifts cover came out. i thought it was to....loud....lol but now i love it more than her version. weird huh??

  • i like taylor swifts version.

  • I actually prefer this better to the Taylor Swift version... mainly because I'm more of a rock song person<3.

  • After hearing taylor's version you gotta respect this band (: It'sweird to hear the lyrics I know so well but than totally different<3

  • <3 luna

  • @TheBlackstonez We're surprised because Taylor's version is Completely different from this.  She rewrote this song into the pop-country genre that she essentially created and made it her own song. Very few artists can do that.

  • I like how taylor swift sang it...but i love luna halo's original version :)

  • WTF IS WRONG WITH KIDS THESE DAYS??????? 

  • why do people coming from taylors version act like its such a surprise. jeez they act like they've never heard a rock song before..

  • @TheBlackstonez I think it's more because of just how different Taylor's cover is. - She actually got given writing credit on her cover, because the arrangement is so different. Also this has a much more angry feel to it, while Taylor's is more a disappointment/sad feel

  • i like both versions alot.i luv rock but i luv taylors raw realll feeling sounds..so both of these rock....but it is crazy as hell to me how different the two version r..i never expected this when i herd taylors version first...if taylor changed this to the one she plays wow,...she is more talented then i ever thought..and i thought she was un real to begin with so that saying something..luv the lyrics...beutifullll

  • If anything, I can definitely vouch for the fact that this is their original song: I saw them live way back in 2006, and they were still playing this song before it was released on their self-titled, self-titled. This was written by luna halo. Taylor's is a cover.

  • @luvaddictXO i meant to say self-titled full-length

  • .... O.O

  • what theeeeee..

    

  • This is the original version. Just try to find something on google, the first thing I've found is :

    "Untouchable", by Luna Halo from Luna Halo "Untouchable", by Taylor Swift from Fearless: Platinum Edition, a cover of the Luna Halo song"

  • Well. ._. This is not what I expected..XD 

  • taylor swift IS WAY BETTER I THINK SHE WROTE IT FIRST IM SORRY .....IT JUS SEEMS LIKE IF SHE DIDNT SHE SHOULDDD HAVE WROTE IT FIRST..

  • shocked. after realizing this is the original version x.x

  • @MaggieCatitaPumpkin this is not the original version! they did a cover of taylor's song! in her album booklet says so (WRITTEN BY TAYLOR SWIFT, CARY BARLOWE, NATHAN BARLOWE, AND TOMMY LEE JAMES)

  • @iJulyRodriguez

    I'm sorry but CARY BARLOWE and NATHAN BARLOWE are members of Luna Halo...:)

    (Still I like Taylor's version more...)

  • @iJulyRodriguez because Taylor and Tommy rewrote the music, not the song.

  • I like this version better! Come on guys....slow music..or....LOUD ROCK!!!

  • ah smoke a dick this is far better. it's the original...so gay that taylor swift get's the credit for this.

  • Ummm, ya, Taylor's version to me is better..but i like calmer music...lol. Did taylor write this or did Luna Halo? Btw i thought Luna Halo would be a girl...haha

  • @alanacrazygirl66 Luna Halo's version is the original. Taylor just made a cover

  • 30 seconds into this version and i can safely say i love both versions equally i think

  • Can't decide which I like better....Taylor,Halo,Taylor,H­alo,Taylor,Halo,Taylor,Halo,Ta­ylor,Halo,

  • @MsGlitterEye TAYLOR 0.0

  • i heard Taylor's version that's why i came here this video is not what i expect i expected something more CALM...

  • wow really shocked after coming here from taylor's version

  • i was expecting luna halo to be a girl hah :) so wrong...

  • Luna Halo are incredible <3

  • OH MY GOD :O ! Fucking different from Taylor Swift version :O ! I prefer the version of Taylor :) <3 But this version is good but I've got a big preference for the slowly version of Taylor !

  • whoa. This is different from Taylor.

  • OMG TAYLOR IS WAY BETTER THIS IS CREEPY

  • I heard Taylor's version, that's why I came here.

    But this is good, too.

  • my band opened for these guys. REALLY cool and down to earth people.

    it was a great gig.

  • I believe that Luna Halo did a better job than Taylor. Don't get me wrong i like Taylor, but Luna Halo made this song awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • They are so different but I can appreciate both.

  • Wow, I wasn't expecting this at all... but I'm not going to lie, it's still good. They two are good in their own sense. Like, Taylor's is good in a sweet and sensitive way, this is good in a "be with me now babe!" kind of way. Both good!!

  • Taylor's version is 1279069 times better :) Sorrry guuuuuys

  • Plain and simple, this is Luna Halo's song. One thing that Taylor Swift's cover doesn't have: 2:08-2:48

  • @StephieeSmile19 Luna Halo wrote this song first. Taylors is a cover of this song=) In my opinion, Taylors is much better=)

  • I'm really confused as to who wrote this song? Was it Taylor Swift or Luna Halo?

  • stop comparing the two songs, go listen to taylors if you hate this.

  • This sucks! Taylor is way better lol

  • I prefer this music. Taylor Swift can go to music hell with Justin Beiber. Whats with all these comments saying that Swift's version is better? This is is more real than the creepy relationships she sings about.

  • WOAH. I came here for tswift. from soft country heart felt music to ROCK ON I HAVE NO PURE FEELING BUT THE LYRICS ARE REALLY GOOD. wow. like this version but like taylors a little better

  • i like this version but taylor's version seems so pure, she sang it with the heart and that makes a big differece, she actually understood the meaning of the lyrics.

    but still this is a good version...

  • Was not expecting this...But I love it!!

  • i LOVE this version. i love the taylor swift version, too, but in a different way.

  • CLICK ON: disccentury, MY MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

  • once you've been listening to taylor's version for so long, this version makes absolutely no sense.

  • @HollyLouiseFinch taylor swifts version is so much better haha but if u look in the booklet for the album doesnt it say she wrote it? im confused

  • @jobrofan16515 She's listed as a writer along with all the original writers of the song, because she did change it a bit

  • @BethRox13 i was wondering if thats who the other writers were! haha

  • This makes me think that Taylor listens to bands like this. I never know what to expect when I hear what artists like Taylor listen to. :)

  • @ShockHummingbird95 I know but this isn't half bad...

  • @allstarswift Half bad? It's great. I love the variety of music she listens to, and i'm always excited to hear that she doesn't just like country.

  • luv this song :P

  • The song is...veryyy goooodd!! i love it.! but the video..i don't understand him!

  • If I never found this song at like age 12, I'd still be listening to Taylor Swift, and feeling sorry for myself for not going having a perfect relationship with someone. Now I'm over that shit. Yeah.

  • i heard Taylor first and for me her version is a LOT better.

  • thiss version is acctuly better than i thought but taylor swift's still better x

  • Hey, this one is not boring like taylor swifts version and this is how the song was meant to be play

  • But if this isn't Taylor's song... Why is she credited in the "Composer" list on her album?

  • @XxForev3rYourLovexX Taylor is listed as a "Composer" because Luna Halo believed that she changed the lyrics enough to have some right over the song that she performed on her album.

  • @Castump Oh, okay. Thanks for filling me in

  • @Castump What lyrics were changed? It sounds basically the same to me..

  • I recently found out that this song wasn't originally by Taylor Swift...

    I just found out that this is a rock song...

    And that Luna Halo was a guy band. Not a girl.

  • @MarissaAtTheDisco they wrote this song for her

  • TAYLOR SWIFT ROCKS !

  • @Konkretersoldat no fuck you

  • Thumbs up if you came here because of Taylor Swift's cover?

  • oh i like both versions. what album is this from?

  • taylor swift made this song more sincere:)

  • Luna Halo's version is about a Christian's desire to be closer to God. Taylor Swift sings it as a love song. And really, her version sounds like it SHOULD be sung like this....and...you can't do the "come on, come on" in slow, country song. It just doesn't work. At least we know Taylor listens to Christian music, though.

  • @loporina god isn't real lol

  • @loporina Plus the lyrics are written more like a love song. Some of the lines are just weird to be singing out a god. "say that we'll be together" awkward

  • @AshlenTheGreat But the verses don't make much sense if you're singing about a woman, either. "Untouchable, burning hotter than the sun/Untouchable like a distant diamond in the sky."

    Think of it as a lost soul reaching out to God...and as a love song, the music video doesn't make any sense at all.

  • @loporina Actually, if you think about it, it does. "Untouchable like a distant diamond sky" wanting someone that you can't have. They're untouchable.

    This may be a Christian song; I don't know. They obviously haven't written it as a blunt song about god, just as most Christian artists do. It can be sung as a love song, and it most people's minds, that's what it comes out as. Personally, I think this band is horrible. Which is probably why no one knows who they are.

  • @loporina And as a Christian song, the video doesn't make sense either...

  • haha taylor would find a way to make this peaceful

  • like this if you only came here because you saw taylor's version first.

  • i just learned taylor did a cover of this one, though i always thought the writing wasn't like the other song. good lyrics

  • This is great.. love this original version

  • I like it, a lot actually. Very unique and is nothing like I've heard before. Taylor did a good job at covering this song as well.

  • I was so not expecting this....

  • wow, how did taylor make that beautiful song out of...this?

  • i like the chorus but the verses are kinda screechy :L

  • I actually love this. Lol. I

  • I wonder. Does Taylor Swift listen this kind of music? Cuz' if she does..respect!

  • @flavius220988 yes she does!

  • nicee

  • i love both versions :)

  • I heard Taylors version first and I really was NOT expecting this song to sound like this!But I really do like it!!!

  • @jasmineskgd exact same with me cuz i didnt know taylor swift coverd it i thought she wrote it

  • People who says there's a lot of angst in this.. ever heard of loving someone so much you almost hate them? That's why I love both versions. Sometimes you hate them sometimes you love them, but you still can't be without them (:

  • uh both versions are great...

  • you can't really compare rock and country but I like Taylor's version better 

  • both taylor and and luna halo are great but i have to agree when its hard rock like this which is what i would prefer.. but both them and taylor did good :)

  • Taylor Swift brought me here <:

  • Wow, hearing the original for the first time.

    Taylor had a VERY interesting take on it.

    I could have never came up with something so simple but brilliant from something that was already so great and creative! (:

    Props to both. (:

  • The music video doesnt really go with the song...

  • Taylor loved this song enough to cover it, and Luna Halo loved her cover. So stop fighting. Taylor did an acoustic cover AND a studio cover, and she was credited as a writer because she changed some of the lyrics and changed the music. They're both good.

  • I love LUNA HALO the 1st time I saw them live was in 1999 at Creation Fest. then again that year at my school for see you at the pole, oh the last time I saw them I was in the 8th grade and they sang me Happy Birthday... Glad to see you guys are still rocking for GOD...

  • Taylor swift butchered the song. This original has more feeling to it and isn't as mundane as her acoustic cover.

  • @Moe606 Taylor Swift didn't "butcher" the song - she made it her own and did a damn good job of it. Even Luna Halo loved it, and covered HER version. And they did a great job of covering it. In my opnion, hers actually has more feeling to it. This version's good, but it has a lot of angst - not feeling.

  • i like thisversion over taylors, maybe thats cuz i dont really like country :D

  • wooow is it really the same song as taylor swift covered;o

  • first time i heard the original ones i was not interested in it, but after a while i was back again and listening to it, i think it's really good to present a tense heart. and now i think i like it much more. :)

  • You kind of can't compare Taylor's version with this one for two reasons. A) It's theirs and B) she did it in a COMPLETELY different manner. It's like they're two different songs.

  • goodness! both versions are good! stop dissing them, and give them both props for having two completely different takes on the song.

  • This is LUNA HALOS song NOT taylor swifts...she did a cover of it and changed the chorus..thats it. Luna Halo is an amazxng band, I love their album.

  • i love both versionhs cuz i like this music, taylor swift snow patrol stuff in the charts i think taylors is beatiful and this is awsome :) tehe

  • too much hate...if you like the taylor swift version...GO LISTEN TO THAT ONE!

    My band played right before these guys did, and i got to meet all of them and theyre all REALLY nice guys, so lay off and get the sand out of your vaginas.

  • This version is better in my opinion. Taylor Swift made it way too slow. Couldn't sit through the whole song after listening to the Luna dudes Jam!

  • What the hell is this crap?

    Taylor Swift all the way!

  • @NumberOneSwifty this is called the Original....
