considering that the APC version is a vast departure in style you can't compare the two fairly at all. It's an awesome song no matter how it is performed, and which version you like better is just going to depend on whether you prefer alt rock type stuff or mellow orchestral-ish type stuff.

@wonthefu This has been a 5 year debate on here that has yet to be settled!

Failure and Hum, two of the best bands of the 90s

def up there with kurt, layne... this music is the best

@wonthefu next people will be debating wether Hurt by NIN or Johnny Cash is better!

@wonthefu douche.. well if by some fucked up acoustic resonation everything i heard was scrambled and reassembled fitting to the alternative rock genre i would have alot more fun goin places.

@HAYDS510 Gee I don't know, maybe the version which is ENTIRELY STRINGS. You know, the APC cover. Which is indeed much more mellow than this version, and has absolutely none of the defining characteristics of rock...

Maybe you need your ears checked.

@Noobytwo Nope, Failure definitely wrote it before APC (as you can see by the date). Troy Van Leeuwen was even a member of Failure before he joined APC (I believe that's him doing the guitar solo in this video). I remembered seeing APC back when the Thirteenth Step came out and it was so awesome because they were touring with Year of the Rabbit (Ken Andrews' band at the time) and they did this song with the man who actually wrote it.

I thought it was by "A Perfect Circle"?

@wonthefu damn which one do you consider "mellow orchestral" ? that sounds like a horrible combination :p i hope it's neither. i'd say they are both alternative rock, failures sounds a bit more spacey though.

i like this version better but APC is not so bad in their other songs. this cover vas weak.

interesting to see greg edwards' duct taping going back to his days in failure.
