      lol yeah same it almost sounds like your floating away and your life is on a piece of thread, you slowly start to fade from reality, you scream as loud as you can and you hear someone says "come with me you'll be in a world of pure imagination " take a look" you see all your dreams but it all vanishes in a blink of an eye. You see children crying the animals dead from factories, the air quality is a slowly turning into a muderous poison for the human kind. You see your closets friends trying to change the world for the best you scream as loud as you can saying NO NO NO... you got all the wrong ideas- you hear gun shots and you realized the gunshot hit your crumbling heart ....

      It's like this version is the adult version - like that darkness of knowing the world isn't as magical as it seemed when young and innocent - it feels like it's trying to recapture that youthful optimism but reality hits and it's back to being wistful of that energy

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Come with me and you'll be
    In a world of pure imagination
    Take a look and you'll see
    Into your imagination
    We'll begin with a spin
    Traveling in a world of my creation
    What we'll see will defy
    Explanation
    [Chorus]
    If you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it
    Anything you want to, do it
    Want to change the world
    There's nothing to it
    [Verse 2]
    There is no life I know
    To compare with pure imagination
    Living there, you'll be free
    If you truly wish to be
    [Chorus]
    If you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it
    Anything you want to, do it
    Want to change the world
    There's nothing to it

      it would end up being about a man working at a chocolate factory who mixes the blood and body of his victims into the chocolate. he crushes up the bones to make it seem like almonds or a cookie like crunch in the chocolate. then the muscles would be turned into a paste and used as a caramel like substance in the chocolate, etc. that's what the movie would probably be about.

  • @d1nonlybaby36
    @d1nonlybaby36 11 місяців тому +21

    What i really love about this is the lyrics don't match up with the way the song sounds which leads it being seen in different ways
    1: some sinister creature trying to lure you in with the promise of "a world of pure imagination" but its unable to hide its true intentions so the words it says don't match up with the vibe it gives off and at 0:52 something creepy happens with the music its almost like the monster droped its mask for a second almost showing it's true self
    2: a person in a horrific situation is in denial and trying to lie to themselves, remembering better times to cope. but it's not the same, reality haunts the happy memories and turns them dark too
    3: a person who used to believe in the original song, but has been hurt and lost their optimistic and innocent look on the world is now thinking back on the lyrics with their new view and reciting them with sarcasm feeling angry and lied to (kind of like the song "mad at Disney")
    Especially since 1:46 the way she says "compare" almost sounds like she's angry but trying to hold it in 2:39 want to change the world? "There's nothing to it..." That level of optimism sounds unfit and sarcastic in this version

    I read a lot of comments saying; Gene Wilder produces joy, happiness with his song, Maroon 5 more chill relaxed feelings, while Miss Apple produces more darker sad feelings, but i disagree. Of course Apple's version is completely different from the original and sounds a little darker with the sad parts in her cover. But that doesn't mean her version is sad, she just captures a wider range of emotions in her version which also includes sadness, but just as much happiness.

    Who else is here from the chipotle game. I got it and when I opened it, it played the animated video for this song with the scarecrow and I thought it was some like high-budget errie horror game with really good graphics that was free for some reason and I thought the video was what the game was going to look like. Then I realized it was just an ad for chipotle and the game looked a lot worse, it was still kind of fun but no where near what I thought it was going to be. The game felt like a really really short Wii Game. I still liked the game and I was sad that it was removed from the App Store like a few months after it released but it was still cool and we still have the music video for it

Fiona has probably the best voice ever.

    To all fans out there, I have created a phenomena that must be seen. I am a note-to-color music theorist, but the first half of my career I actually invented optical illusions. // Now as far at the theory, the original “Pure Imagination” song from the 1971 Willy Wonka film was in B-flat minor which i see as purple, and the key of the IMAGINATION! B-flat is the dreamy note. // OK, so I noticed that Fiona Apple sings it hear in F,-minor, and, when I saw the cartoon animation to her song, I realized that she chose F-note because of the pastoral nature of her music video. It was a little cartoon video about the plight of an organic farmer. (F being Green (to me). Like in Beethoven’s “Pastoral Symphony in F.”)
    End of story is that I took Fiona Apple’s version here and i pitched it back UP to B-flat (purple/imagination). Then I did a Munchkin video which highlighted my optical illusions. Being sung my Munchkin Fiona Apple!
    I know it sounds crazy, but it’s totally wild. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to just post the link, but the vid is here at The Acoustic Rabbit Hole, as a recent upload for Christmas holiday. I think you can just click right on top of the rainbow-rabbit icon to find me. Hope you all can see this!!! Let me know!

    I knew this was going to be good because I loved her version of Sally's Song from Nightmare Before Christmas. A lot of artists covered this song but she kept the vibe that Gene Wilder brought but made it more current, in my opinion anyway.

    I've been listening to this song rather obsessively for about a week. Today, it occurred to me that the lyric line "Want to change the world? There's nothing to it." could mean that not only is changing the world something we all can do without the struggle and suffering we've previously endured if only we move into a realm of Pure Imagination, but -- also -- that in creating that beautiful world, we can't forget to include the Nothing. By "Nothing" I'm thinking of the kind of space that Zen Buddhism, Taoism, & other spiritual practices offer. The Nothing is mystery and wonder and joyous excitement about what we are crafting together as human beings embodied on Earth. Here we are. Let's see what we can do and much fun we can have.

    Who's here because of an incredibly fortuitous sequence of near infinite events stretching back to the big bang, each incrementally contributing to a slightly more complex form of life that slowly evolved into humans as we know them today, of which one among millions of lineages has survived to pass on its own variations of genetic information that contained the precise conditions that allowed you to interact with your environment in a way that concocted your complex brain and personality, ultimately ending up in you pressing your finger down on a mouse button while its digital correspondent pointer was resting on some pixels that would present this abstraction of a place we call website to your eyes and ears?
