  • I'm tired of people saying the cover isn't as good as the original. Well of course it isn't. ITS A COVER! Its not supposed to sound like the original. A cover is when a band (Evanescence) takes a song from another band (Nirvana) and sings it their way with their own style. It would be really boring if Evanescence tried to sing the song the exact same way Nirvana did. Anyways, RIP Kurt Cobain <3 Thank you Amy for making a tribute <3.

  • In all honesty, this is the song that introduced to Nirvana.

  • it will never be as amazing as the original, but evanescence are great and this cover is still really good!

  • R.I.P Kurt Cobain <3

  • It seems like Evanesence, does A LOT of Nirvana covers..

  • Please stop fighting and listen to the music!!!

  • A-Mazing + Awesome + cool + wanting more + No Dislike Bar?

    IT'S GOTTA BE AMY!!

  • This band is terrible. They making nirvana sound like idiots. R.I.P Kurt Cobain and Hail Nirvana

  • @MrHockeyScores Don't like, don't listen. Have you listened to any of their other stuff? Amy (the singer) can't match Nirvana's sound because of the way she was trained; she was trained to be an opteretic singer. At least she tried. When I first clicked, I expected something, much, much worse. It's a tribute to Niravana - so don't hate.

  • I like this song. Though i prefer nirvana to sing this song more but evanescence did a good cover.

  • it's amazing :)

  • Both versions this and the original, are excellent by their own merit's, Nirvana's has that great grunge sound while EV captured a true vocal style that truly fits this song.

  • I love the way her voice pairs with the lyrics. Like @TheSTW1984 said, no one can really equal up to Nirvana but EV sure did an awesome job at this.

  • wow, that end piece was epic, reminisce of an old jefferson airplane outro.

  • I'm a nirvana fan, but those vocals were infinitely better than Kurt's, though i do like Nirvana's instrumentals a little better.

  • Nirvana and Evanescence are my favorite bands, so seeing Evanescence cover a Nirvana song is awesome :D. Even though Nirvana's version is still way better :P.

  • Not as good as Kurt Cobain, But It's a good Cover ^-^

  • OMFG Thank you Evanescence. I went to click on Smells like teen spirit and didnIt see that it was a cover by Myley Cyrus. It caused me physical pain. I felt like I was going to puke. So Evanescence sing any Nirvana song you want. I dont give a fuck any more. And besides this actually sounds like a decent cover.

  • I hate haters. People wanna say they suck when in reallity that person sucks. So stop hateing. These singers are prob way freakin better then you. So back off. Thx everyone.

  • She kinda ruined it when she got to the chorus. She could have sang it with the same passion Kurt Cobain had in the Nirvana version.

  • @MilDeath u may be right and i respect ur opion and all but when the chors comes it sounds like she is sooooooooooo close to tears and if that aint passoin nothing is

  • personally i dont really like nirvana, i like this cover way more than the origional.

  • Wow, I had no idea that there was a song that existed that amy could roaylly fuck up..

  • @misguided71 she is awesome you suck

  • @OrginalCookieMonster Even if I'm not a fan at all of Evanescence, I have to admit that it's a great cover. GTFO, dickhead.

  • @OrginalCookieMonster Ah go to hell. If you "miss clicked" How come you listened to this song and wrote a frickin' comment?

  • Nirvana is an Untouchable Legend. But Evanescence gave this song a Personal style and a special feeling , So both versions are Masterpieces

  • @Germanmixeria Yeah. Why does it never occur to ppl that most people don't cover a song because they think they're better or want to disrespect the original band, but because they really love the song and want to openly show how much they like the band they're covering. Why does no one ever go "Oh, cool, a fellow fan!" Also, stuff like this might introduce ppl who simply happened to not be born yet in the early nineties to older stuff.

  • @Germanmixeria For example, the only reason I ever found out about Nirvana (Which I've grown to love ALOT by now because they made, as you pointed out, TRUE ART) was because I really really liked this song and thus once got the idea to try and look up what the original sounds like. Also, this is a great cover. It's not needlessly popified, there's emotion in the singing (like, some proper resignation, anger etc) and there's artistic merit in the reinterpretation of the music.

  • I love this band, but I have to say nirvana is better for this song. Her voice just doesn't meet the lyrics. She escalates in all the wrong places. And the hey wait part is just a litte to soft at the first part. Sorry.

  • How dare they ruin one of the best songs ever.

  • my name is Amy Bruce. I am 7 years old, and have severe lung cancer. I also have a tumor in my brain, from repeated beatings. Doctors say i will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. The Make A Wish Foundation has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message is sent on. for those of you who send this along, I thank you so much, but for those of you who don't send it what goes around comes around. Have a heart. Re-send this, help her. <3 i am not her

  • @maddiesawasquirrel Quit with this copypasta, it is annoying. Most of that is probably a lie for attention.

  • @LoverofZaDr whoa there i was bored okay dont be gettin ur panties in a bunch take a chill pill

  • @maddiesawasquirrel You can wish whatever you want. I don't care. Just don't say "dont be gettin ur panties in a bunch". That's what a bitch would say.

  • priceless lyrics and song! Awsome stuff Amy :)

  • @PotterPuppetPals4 except that you cant get a tumor from beatings and the make a wish foundation doesnt send out chain mail AND there is no possibly way they could track a chain mail like this to give her 7 cents anyways, but hey, good job for caring.

  • @LadyPenguinStudios i know it doesn't really work just thought i should out it there :)

  • I am a huge Nirvana fan but I love this cover. I think Amy Lee's voice gives something beautifully different to this song.

  • Why would you click a video you dont like? Just to Make everyone Angry? REALLY? Why. Would. You. Do. That?

    ugh.... i hate trolls and rude people....

  • @RaynetheCat they arent trolls and they arent rude, they just clicked on a video they probably hadnt heard before and then decided to use their freedom of opinion and freedom of expression and clicked the dislike button. why are you getting angry about it anyways? its just a little red speck.

  • @LadyPenguinStudios

    Ehehehehe... My cousin was on my Account  my Apologies.... So Sorry

    ^.^b|||

  • She's singing man-eating orchids? It's MEAT-eating orchids. MEAT, not man!

  • @MichlPiano Well, it SOUNDS like man.

  • Kurt Cobain used "paper flower" poppies in Heart Shaped Box music vid, which is Joe Elliott of Def Leppard's birth flower. This is where the pseudonym Poppy Z-Brite who wrote Courtney Love's bio came from. The paper flowers were from the song "Imaginary" which I wrote and performed by Evanescence. When I met Kurt in May '83 he was on roadcrew for Def Leppard's Rock Till You Drop Tour promoting Pyromania. Def Lep had been opening for Billy Squier which ended in Seattle & Oregon in April '83

  • I'm not a big evanescence fan but this is beautiful and I prefer it to the original personally.

  • The guitar is off tune. Her voice is pretty enough, but the guitar ruins it.

  • @TrippingTulips that guitar isn't off tune???

  • not as good as the nirvana one...but still sounds good....anyway i think Amy sings it too slow....no offense to Amy...Nirvana And Amy go into 2 seperate catagories..

  • where did you get this recording??

  • Go to goggle after pausing this video, Type in Rainymood and click the first link. Then press play<3

  • better than the orig.

  • I love this song so much <3

  • No one can top Kurt, but Amy Lee has a beautiful voice and she comes pretty damn close. Besides, wouldnt a female singing a song originally recorded by a guy sound slightly different anyway? I definitely couldnt see Evanescence covering something like In Bloom or Come As You Are, but Heart Shaped Box, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised it works.

  • I swear I would marry her voice

  • Pretty good

  • Definitely not as good as Nirvana, but Amy does well. No one can really ever match Nirvana's sound. No need to hate (I'm a Nirvana and Evanescence fan)

  • @TheSTW1984 hay hay yah!

  • @TheSTW1984 I think overall evanescence is better but not in this song offcourse nirvana is better its their own song but like if u comapre two bands i think evanescence wins!

  • Kurt buries this

  • Goddess <3

  • D: I never knew a cover could sound so awesome! <3 amazing(:

  • @DrSlowBro No you can have your opinion but keep it you yourself if you don't like it.You don't like.Drop the subject,exit the video,and don't leave hate comments.Just drop it and watch what you ACTUALLY LIKE

  • im sorry but this is bad i love evanescence is awesome but nirvana will be always great and never good covered by someone else

  • @DrSlowbro Dont listen to it if youre gonna leave hate comments stupid!

  • I love Evanescence and Nirvana and I think they did the song justice

  • @jowhluv its a cover. Seriously?

  • My crush was gonna kiss me this Friday anyway. Cause he's my BOYFRIEND.

  • @TheseCheeseball 3 weeks ago? Probably isn't anymore.

  • @hamandcheesus He already did, yes xD

  • my thumbs up counts as 500000000000

  • i think i just jizzed .. that was amazing ,,, O.O

  • Damn this woman gives me chills. I loved the original and this.

  • Pretty much the best cover ever.

  • @Hidenbehindblackhair the original was meat eating

  • its not meat eating orchids its man eating orchids

  • 0:00 <--- Free replay button:D

  • WHEN THE HELL DID THEY RECORD THIS??*-* Anyone knowing wich album this song is on? none of the ones i have (fallen, the open door, origin)

  • @Ksek123 What? you do know its a cover right? its not on ANY of their albums.

  • @TheCarmillaShow there are A LOT OF bands that cover others on their albums!

  • @Ksek123 none that I know of then...

  • @Ksek123

    it was on the Going Under Single, that is the only album it was released on. The only way to get the song is by downloading it since the single is out of print.

  • @Ksek123 It's not on an album.

  • Can't we all just agree that Nirvana and Evanescence are both two AMAZINGLY talented bands? This is my first time listening to the re-make of this song and personally I enjoy it. I loved the original but this is pretty good aswell :D so just enjoy the music.

  • This is a really good cover and this is coming from a huge Nirvana fan. It's not an exact replica of the original they've put they're own spin on it which in my opinion is a good thing

  • Love Cobain, love Lee, so personally, I don't see a problem here.

    And honestly, I think if Kurt saw the lot of you arguing like a bunch of internet tough guys over it, he would disown you as his fans.

  • Your Wonder Ful

  • I love Evanescence but can anyone please tell me what this song is about? Cuz the lyrics just don't make any sense.. .And is this even Evanescence's song!

  • go die you bitches ,nirvana forever evanescence die!

  • @123rt123able i love both of them piss off hater

  • Comment removed

  • @RainbowLover922  Fuck You

  • @RainbowLover922 You and the person you were replying to are wrong. Kurt was a genius and was an amazing songwriter and person, he had deeper meanings to his songs then you could probably even believe.

  • @RainbowLover922 Someone doesn't know of poetic metaphors. c:

  • @123rt123able I'm a huge Cobain fan as well as an evanescence fan, they're both amazing artists. They both have their strong points and weak points but I mean it's nothing to even take a side on. If you want to tell someone to go die make it Justin Bieber or some shit, not Evanessance.

  • Man-Eating Orchids is the right term

  • Babe Its Man-eating

  • Whoa

  • i dont like it that much... i dont really think the music complent's (sp?) her voice. just my opinon, though.

  • nirvana es mucho mejor

  • I ♥ Amy Lee, but no one does Nirvana like Nirvana. Leave these songs to Kurt Cobain, the true master of them all.

  • I love this (:

  • Nirvana's is more powerful so it's better

  • Amy Lee is a genius, it doesn't really matter if you like the orginal version, or the cover, as long as you appreciate good rock music, I'm 15 and I'm in love with the classics and Evanescence, so shoot me ;) Thumbs up for Rocker's :D Lol.

  • love this cover!

  • This is good, but the guitar sounds computerized... Her voice is the only good thing in this song.. No one can ever cover Nirvana..

  • @xXSarahForParamoreXx I agree, no matter how good a cover is...it just can't compare to Kurt!

  • IM GOING TO KILL THIS GROUP IS IT A SHIT NIRVANA IS GOOOD

  • @raiyiyu9878 Whats wrong with Evanescence? Personally, I think she gave it a good dark appeal.

  • @raiyiyu9878 just stfu already.

  • It is a copy of Nirvana !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @raiyiyu9878 Its a cover. They have to get the rights before they can release it, so it's not a copy, or stolen.

  • This song is so hard to understand- maybe that's why I like it... :)

  • @Mustela13 What's the problem?

  • Kurt was a god, Amy is a godess, this song is a gift to the human race.

  • Awsome song

  • Uhh.... don't you think this is ALMOST Country music?!?!!?!?

  • @krmurphy1222 I said ALMOST!

  • @LaurenSparkleBlossom Um...no...lol is she singing about a green tractor?

  • @Saphire564u2c Huh? o_o'

  • @LaurenSparkleBlossom Im just saying that almost all country songs are singin about tractors or farmers daughters lol

  • @LaurenSparkleBlossom not really, I've heard darker country music, but never like this...

  • @LaurenSparkleBlossom Are you stupid? trololol

  • i think she should make her a song thats a bit like this - accoustic guitar and voice. she sounds (and looks, obliviously) pretty. like she always does. (:

  • 2 versions are amazing i love amy and i love kurt

    i don't see the problem in the amy lee's version

  • I like evanescence's version better at times and nirvana more at other times. it depends on my mood. <3

  • @UNLOVEABLExSOUL Same here. When I'm feeling like a badass, I love Nirvana's more than anything. But when I'm feeling pissy, I like this version because it can make you feel superior. >=)

    ... I'm not usually that self centered. XD

  • @RavenxRobin101 Haha i love feelig like a badass xD any one reading this should add me on facebook btw, Autumn Lawrence my profile pic is black and white it's me with my tounge out in the mirror :P

  • No no no ^

    13 people are not going to suffocate in a heart shaped box!

    Those 13 people which are now 22 people like Nivarna's version better!

    Stoooopid.

  • *Listening to this song bout 20 times today, I wonder if that is a good thing or a bad thing?It's just a catchy tune.* Why does it have to be in my head though?Um duh cause it's so awesomeness right?:)

  • I don't understand the lyrics...

    

  • Amy kinda sounds like Pink on this video

  • I like Amy's veison...But I like Nirvana version to...Jezz this is complicated >.<

  • omfg (:

  • OH DEAR GOD, MY TWO FAVORITE BANDS!? Hell yeah! >:D

    EPIC!

  • Holy wow I didn't even know that there was a cover of Heart-Shaped Box. I prefer the original opposed to this, though Amy is much easier to understand then Kobain. I do really love Evanescence, probably moreso then Nirvana (though they're amazing). I'm just not feelin' Amy on this one.

  • I agree i like it =D

  • any is my fave artist....but heart shaped box is one of my fave songs....i prefer the original...but amy is very good too...

  • @VeronicaLuvsYa19 no fucking way this is better than the original

  • @HelenaPaparizou4ever- Because I'm entitled to my opinion. I mean, honestly, I know I suck at singing. I'm just a guitarist/screamo vocalist in my band, and I can't do clean vocals for crap. But I don't think her voice fits the song. I just don't like her voice sometimes. She has a beautiful voice, but it doesn't work for me on this one. :S

  • Wow, I really didn't think it was possible to destroy that song like that...I'm quite disappointed.

  • @SamiSixA7X What do you mean destroy? I love both Nirvana and Evanescence, they are among my favorite bands. Amy Lee's voice is awesome and the fact that her version is acoustic doesn't mean it's worse or better than the original. Kurt and Amy sing it in different ways, so yeah you could say that you like Kurt's version more, but when you talk about being disappointed, well dude, you're off.. Where do you see tha destruction?

  • very very very touching!!!!!

  • amy lee sung this better than Nirvana btw i have nothing against Nirvana but ive always been an evanescence fan!

  • I absolutly Adore Nirvana AND Evanescence and it pisses me off when people have to sit and argue which is better and why they hate this.

    I mean obviously Nirvana's will be better because it's their song, But it doesn't mean you have to slate this version does it? It's a beautiful cover.

  • Noo, I like Nirvana's version better. Nuff' said. Idc if you disagree.

  • Nirvana is amazing and I think their version is better personally their songs shouldn't be messed with Kurt is a legend peace & -3 to all

  • Just doesnt sound right

  • i love all of amy lee's songs

  • AMY LEE = My new wife!!!

  • I love her voice in this song! Nirvana and Evanescence :) :) XD

    too hard to choose either or...

  • i dont like that evanescence does so many covers like this, lithium, thoughtless and zero zero

  • @taylorhawkinsFF thier lithium is totaly different song than nivrana's one! it's not a cover.

  • @taylorhawkinsFF Lithium isn't a cover..... yes. there is a Nirvana song called Lithium.... but it's different.

  • @taylorhawkinsFF Lithium isn't a cover...you should realise that by just fucking listening to it.

  • i like it but it's a nirvana song.

  • both versions are amazing..but this one has an acoustic sound, but an intensity that only Amy Lee can deliver... i love it.

  • both are amazing!

  • 14 ppl .. * sigh * nvm this is a stupid comment

  • Ur advice
