Twisted Measure, an a cappella group from Elon University, recorded this haunting version of Sia’s “Chandelier.” It could never replace the original, obviously, but it’s an interesting, stripped-down arrangement and it shows off some impressive vocal talent. Oh, and the version was arranged by Twisted Measure members, so, you know, don’t worry about any copyright issues. The video could have used some killer dance moves like in Sia’s [original version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vjPBrBU-TM), but it’s still pretty good. _Read next:_[ _This College Student’s Version of Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ Video Is Awkward and Perfect_](http://time.com/3628249/sia-chandelier-video-college-student-dance/) Sia Chandelier A Cappella Cover by Elon College Twisted Measure ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3899923/sia-chandelier-college-a-cappella-version/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3899923/sia-chandelier-college-a-cappella-version/"},"headline":"Listen to a Beautiful A Cappella Version of Sia's 'Chandelier'","datePublished":"2015-05-28T18:38:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:26.056Z","description":"Performed by the group Twisted Measure from Elon University","url":"https://time.com/3899923/sia-chandelier-college-a-cappella-version/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3899923/sia-chandelier-college-a-cappella-version/","name":"Listen to a Beautiful A Cappella Version of Sia's 'Chandelier'"}}]}] ```
