This isn't so much a "cover" as it is a complete reinterpretation musically of the original. The reason it sounds more pessimistic is because the chords are all minor chords - completely different chords than the original.
That being said, while I don't love it, it's quite original, and the vibe from the music and vocals is the antithesis of the lyrics, which makes an interesting point.
