"The two versions of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" showcase similar but very different messages."

??

Not sure how to put it better though.

Not certain if this is an example: Neil Young covered John Lennon's "Imagine" for America: A Tribute To Heroes (a telethon 10 days after the September 11th attacks). He changed one word ("Imagine no possessions / I wonder if [you -> I] can"), but it completely changes the tone of the song (Preachy to a mixture of Hypocrisy Nod and wistfulness).

Is that an example of this?
