A slower, quieter cover of a song. Musical directors can support a deeper, emotional moment in a work by using such an arrangement. It is common to take a famous song as source material. Predictably many movies play version of one of their songs during the end credits like this. Sometimes used within a musical as a Dark Reprise of an earlier number. A subtrope of The Cover Changes the Meaning. Compare Suspiciously Similar Song, In the Style of, The Elevator from Ipanema, Award-Bait Song. When used in advertising, see Moody Trailer Cover Song.

Happy Days: Joanie and Chachi go on a local American Bandstand-esque show, but the trend is now for folk music and J and C do classic 50s rock. What to do? Sing "Come Go With Me" v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, using just a guitar rather than the full band. | |

The music played over the maps depicting Worlds 1 and S from Super Mario Galaxy 2 are actually slowed-down versions of the "Good Egg Galaxy" and "Gusty Garden Galaxy" levels from the first Super Mario Galaxy game. Also, the music played over the map depicting World 6 is a slowed-down version of the music played when you fight Bowser. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild remixes a lot of classic Zelda tunes into slower piano pieces to emphasize the massive and melancholy After the End setting; much like the ruins of Hyrule itself, the songs are so bare and skeletal that it can be somewhat difficult to recognize what they once were. For example, here is the Temple of Time theme as it sounded in Ocarina of Time, and here is how it sounds in Breath of the Wild. | |

Many dance singles have ballad or "candlelight" remixes, such as "Cry (Unplugged)" by System F featuring Saskia Lie-Atjam, "Such is Life (Sunday afternoon rework)" by Rank 1 f/Shanokee, "Heaven (Candlelight Mix)" by DJ Sammy & Yanou f/DO, "Listen To Your Heart (Unplugged Edit)" by DHT, and "Let You Go (2005 rework)" by ATB. And of course, more than a couple of those were covers; the Trope Maker in dance was probably the aforementioned Candlelight Mix of Heaven, previously by Bryan Adams. DHT's take on Listen To Your Heart actually reached the point where the stripped down version was more heavily promoted than the dance mix; either way, it was still more mellow than Roxette. |

High School Musical Case in point, "What I've Been Looking For", as performed by the Evanses in an uptempo arrangement (a change lamented by Kelsi) and then by Troy and Gabi as the slow ballad that was originally meant to sung. The first film's "We're All in This Together", a cheerful "We Go Together"-esque song is replayed slowly in the third film in an attempt to make a sad, reminisent atmosphere. This version also qualifies as an Award-Bait Song. |

The Confession Executive Committee ~Love Series~ song "Right Now I'm in Love -triangle story-" serves as the softer and slower cover to the original "Right Now, I'm in Love". Both songs are about the singer experiencing heartbreak, but the -triangle story- version makes it sadder, considering that the singer is watching his crush fall in love with another boy from afar. Most other Love Series songs doing a Perspective Flip don't change the tempo at all, making this particular instance notable. | |

Italian singer Giorgio Vanni, known for singing theme songs to animated shows (especially anime), included in his album - as well as in his concert where the cover was first heard - "Giorgio Vanni Project" this kind of cover of another song of his, "What'snote (Sung as "What is", but written as "What's". Spelt as such for the sake of it, apparently.) my destiny Dragon Ball" (opening/ending song for Dragon Ball Z, as the earlier Dragon Ball anime had another theme song, still sung by him). The long time that's passed between the original, dance-y version of the song and the way more somber version of it made the cover a Tear Jerker to many fans. Yes, even among the show's intended demographic. | |

In 1976, Neil Sedaka released a slow ballad version of his 1962 hit "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. It reached No. 8 on the charts, making him the first artist to reach the Top 10 with two different versions of the same song. The 1962 original is a typical breakup song of the era, with the protagonist reeling from a just-ended relationship; the 1976 hit version revisits the same breakup, and in essence is a reflection of the relationship years later. | |

They did the same thing to the Sesame Street theme song. It was horridly depressing, because of the context. (If you can't follow the link, an already sad and wistful cover is juxtaposed with a patient's death, JD reflecting on the lessons Sesame Street taught him, and evidence that the new interns haven't learned those lessons at all. Can you tell him how to get to Sesame Street?) | |

A trailer for horror movie Flight 7500, about a supernatural attack on a plane, plays a slow cover of John Denver's Leaving On A Jet Plane. The entire time. At the beginning, the passengers are boarding with no indication that anything is wrong, but the music plays all the way through the end, while the passengers and staff are terrorized and killed. | |

In Ys IV: Mask of the Sun, and the Perfect Collection soundtrack album, the music "Crimson Wings" was the standard RPG rock style, but in Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys, it was rearranged into a slow muzak-style bossa nova tune. "Sanctuary of Thunderstorms (Valley of Quicksand)" was given similar treatment. Likewise, "Subterranean Canals" from Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished – The Final Chapter had a downtempo remix on that game's Perfect Collection album. | |

Donnie Darko: the final credits are accompanied by Gary Jules' version of "Mad World," originally by Tears for Fears. Unlike the original upbeat and cheery new wave track, Jules's version is sombre and minimalist, featuring only his voice, a piano, and a cello. | |

Metal Gear: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: The cover version of the Sacco e Vanzetti theme, "Here's To You", sung in its original movie as an ironic but genuine cheer, and screeched as a totally-unironic, tear-laden, but totally appropriate tune. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater does it to its own title tune - Snake Eater is a bombastic pastiche of James Bond themes. It's played on a piano during The Reveal. Thing is, you probably wouldn't even notice unless you listened to the song itself. |

Love Live!: Yume no Tobira, one of the featured songs from the original series, is an upbeat rock song about friendship and hope sung by the idol group μ's, which wouldn't sound out-of-place in a Magical Girl Warrior series. It gets reprised in the sequel series Love Live! Sunshine!! as a slow piano cover by Riko Sakurachi, who in-universe is a fan of μ's. Given that the song ends with "It's the prologue of our youth," this version takes on a more nostalgic, reminiscent tone. | |

Kyon from Haruhi Suzumiya gave the somewhat hyperkinetic end theme "Hare Hare Yukai" this treatment, making the ridiculously frantic original into something slow and melancholy. He also changed the lyrics to reflect his personality. That is to say, he complains about all the weird crap now happening. Actually, all of the last three character albums did this, but no one else sounded quite as emotionally distraught. | |

Sonic Adventure: E-102 Gamma's Leitmotif is a moderately paced, militaristic techno tune with a piano melody in it. when Gamma is killed at the end of his story the leitmotif removes all but the piano melody, slows it down, and adds horns, making it into an extremely sad song. Sonic and the Black Knight has acoustic versions of "It Doesn't Matter" and "Believe in Myself" from the Adventure games. The soundtrack also contains "Seven Rings in Hand ~ Fairytales in Trance", a slower, even melancholy version of the hard-rocking Secret Rings theme, now performed by Bentley Jones. The slower speed causes the lyrics to be sung more powerfully, which means they actually kinda make sense. |

Glee Rachel and Shelby singing their beautiful and slow rendition of..."Poker Face". Nobody's sure what the meaning was changed to, though, and it's still considered an incredibly odd choice for a girl and her surrogate mother to sing together. Finn sings a version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (which was the original arrangement, although Cyndi Lauper's upbeat pop version is more popular). Kurt sang Across the Universe (2007)'s version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Blaine sang a slowed down version of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" in the fourth season. During the season five episode "The Quarterback," Puck's tribute is the slow, acoustic version of Springsteen's "No Surrender." Glee also copied Jonathan Coulton's arrangement (described below, under "Music") of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" without asking for permission or offering any compensation for its use. They even sang the name "Johnny C" instead of "Mix-A-Lot" in their version, just like Coulton did. |

Near the end of The Muppets Take Manhattan, Kermit, with his memory restored, is asked if he remembers the opening number of Manhattan Melodies, and begins singing a slow, wistful version of "Right Where I Belong" (it speeds up as it goes, until it's at full tempo when they reach the stage and rest of the gang joins in). The funny part is that until now we've only heard a single line of the upbeat "original" version; they sing it when they're trying to sell the show, but keep getting interrupted. Movin' Right Along: A Muppet Movies Podcast calls it "a reprise of a song that doesn't exist". | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater does it to its own title tune - Snake Eater is a bombastic pastiche of James Bond themes. It's played on a piano during The Reveal. Thing is, you probably wouldn't even notice unless you listened to the song itself. | |

Doctor Who: If you listen closely, "The Doctor's Theme" from Series 1-4 is a an extremely slow version of the first several phrases of the show's Opening Theme. From Matt Smith's run, "A Sad Man With a Box" is a slowed down version of "A Mad Man With a Box" In "Mummy On The Orient Express", Foxes sings a mid-tempo jazz cover of "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. |

Toad the Wet Sprocket did this to "Rock And Roll All Nite", of all songs, for an officially sanctioned KISS tribute album. Kiss fans had a pretty mixed opinion on this version, but Gene Simmons himself gave the band credit for their "balls-to-the-wall bravery" in drastically reinterpreting their Signature Song. | |

Damone does this with their version of Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years". It sort of makes sense as an arrangement because lyrically the original is a bit on the melancholy side for sort of being a Rock-Star Song. Ryan Adams did much the same with his version of the song, recorded for Californication. Speaking of Iron Maiden, Zwan recorded a slower and much creepier version of "The Number of the Beast". |

In The Hamilton Mixtape, "Dear Theodosia (Reprise)" is notably more somber than both the stage version of "Dear Theodosia" and the version performed by Regina Spektor earlier in the mixtape, which are sweet songs about dedicating yourself to a loved one. Not to say that the Reprise isn't just as sweet - Chance the Rapper reportedly specifically requested to do the song for the Mixtape, after seeing a performance of the show and being reminded of his relationship with his own daughter. | |

The main theme to Dungeon Siege, which is normally a fast-paced orchestra and piano piece, gets a slower, mostly piano version with soft strings accompaniment for the music that plays while inside the nearly-overrun Fort Kroth. Conversely, a higher energy version with extra brass and vocals plays during the Final Battle theme music. | |

Boyce Avenue gave this treatment to, among others, Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", making it much more romantic in tone and removing the Intercourse with You aspect of it. "Lets just talk all through the night, there's no need to rush." Works well. Speaking of "Teenage Dream", Darren Criss in his concerts often performs a (different) slowed down version of the song that he arranged himself. The arrangement was given a wider exposure on Glee. |

Michelle Branch performed a softer and slower version of her song "Goodbye to You" for her guest appearance on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Tabula Rasa" - a version that actually fits the emotion of the lyrics better than the poppier radio/album version. In the first season finale "Prophecy Girl", after Buffy defeats the Master, a slow-tempo version of the show's main theme plays on the soundtrack. |

Rage Against the Machine, of all bands, did a cover of Devo's "Beautiful World" on their album Renegades. Where the original song was ironically upbeat, the cover is antithetical to RATM's usual style, being slower and melodic, but simultaneously, angrier than the original. | |
