They're much more subtle and come across to me personally as more honest and raw, although they might seem like less feeling is in them compared to other songs' more grand arrangements (which come across to me as rather cheesy, they get narmy and the emotion is lost to me).
I think I understand where you're coming from. Sometimes different arrangements for the same song bring out more emotion. For example, when I hear the original version of fated I don't really feel much at all, even though it's a super emotional song. But when I hear fated (orchestra version), I cry each and every time hahahaha. It's one of my favorites but I can't listen to it because somehow I find it much more emotional than the original. Sometimes emotion is lost in grand arrangements.
