It was a classic from 1979 that would later be covered by Harry Styles in 2017. When listening to the covered version of the song, it isn&#8217;t easy to hear any differences when compared to the original. The cover was trying to show how good the original was by copying it to the exact second. The first thing that people would notice about the two different versions of the songs are the singers. That is really the key difference in the versions. The cover went above and beyond by adding in back up singers just like the original had, and the beats to the songs were very similar. The original song, however, did have a more instrumental beat than the cover, which is creating a beat by clapping unlike the original. The original version also felt more enthusiastic to me than the cover did. There could be a number of reasons behind this, however, for example, I have listened to the original so many times that I have become accustomed to hearing the general enthusiastic tone from the singers. The feeling of nostalgia that is left behind after listening to the original is also not produced by the cover. This is most likely because it is someone who is trying to replicate a masterpiece, and that can&#8217;t be done without a few errors. All in all, the cover by Harry Styles is not a good comparison to Fleetwood Mac&#8217;s original version of &#8220;The Chain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Chain (2002 Remaster)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P160_odTwyY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harry Styles - The Chain (Fleetwood Mac cover) in the Live Lounge\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eM_FR7I2Ttw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best songs (in my opinion) can be seen as &#8220;The Chain&#8221; by Fleetwood Mac.
