@Dayglochainsaw i have no idea why the original song goes so hard, but i DO know why at least one version of it goes off so fuckin hard, and it's because the TSO version is related to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Eve/Sarajevo_12/24
@Dayglochainsaw tldr, it's inspired by/a memorial to this one badass little celloist who played in sarajevo while it was being bombed, to show that the spark of humanity was still alive even as everything was going to hell around him. "The orchestra represents one side, the rock band the other, and single cello represents that single individual, that spark of hope." as per the Trans Siberian Orchestra's version of the song.
