I, on the other hand, absolutely love the alterna orchestra version. I thought the tension between the somewhat, well, computerized (for lack of a better word) vocals and the classical instruments really added to it, and the instrumental music was very beautiful and cast a melancholy mood over the whole song. It's actually different, and I like it more than I think I would have if they had tried to replicate the exact same musical score with classical instruments instead of rock instruments. This version makes me picture completely different things than the original version does, and I love that.

As for the harmony b/t the vocals and the music, there was harmony, but it was mostly a dissonant harmony...it sounded like it shouldn't go together and it created tension, which in a minor keyed song like this, has a really beautiful effect in my opinion.
