I've been saying this for years. Remove the bells and other cheering music and the most "Beloved" christmas song becomes a "stalker ex gone crazy and wants their other half back, no matter what". Put any christmas song in the minor key and it becomes something very different.
This os Chase's series! He does the Major to Minor series so this is his imagining. Go check out his channel for more they are all seriously spine chilling!
Okay but this is 100% the song the antagonist would sing in a christmas-themed musical near the end when they're revealing that their motive the whole time was just heartbreak/unrequited love
You guys need to make an actual album of different songs all transposed to a minor key like this. I would honestly buy a full album if it were like that!
+dubbajay1 Now I would LOVE a full Christmas album like this... and finally be the one enjoying that Christmas CD playing all day long during Christmas day with the family.
Chase does have a minor key Album on Amazon, Itunes and possibly Google play(not sure about the last 2), but I know he has it on the amazon music store.
Wow...this was eerie. The concept was really clever though. It's interesting how drastically a song can be changed when it is changed to a minor key. This version sounded like it belongs in a horror movie lol :)
My mother's birthday was on christmas. She passed when I was 8. Every christmas night growing up, I would sing this song to myself in hope she would come home. Wonderful rendition. Be proud of your gift.
gwalter521 my brother birthday was christmas....he died this christmas driving here because he promise he'll come and the last song he heard according to his history was this song..
+TN Hawke could be a great movie plot. Like, the guy is crazy, and has to spend the Christmas without her....and then he ends up doing something bad like doing really dangerous drugs
This could inspire so many music video stories. It desperately needs to be in a sad Christmas movie or a scene or background story involving a memory around Christmas.
After listening to this several times, I've realised two things: 1. It's awesome! 2. Whilst the original has a more joyful tone and is about wanting a lover on Christmas, this version can be taken in a completely different direction. Maybe the singer has lost a loved one and wants to see him/her on Christmas day. "No one is singing, I don't hear slay bells ringing"...It's depressing! For that, this song is just incredible! Please continue changing popular songs into minor key!
Either a song about wishing that recently deceased loved one would come back to life Or a creepy song about a stalker confessing his obsession for his neighbour
I feel like this would make an awesome book/film. Maybe a guy who's spent all his life alone then eventually turns into some crazy murderer, then decides one Christmas that he's tired of living like this and hunts for a girl to call his own or something.
+Eren Jaeger 1) your name and picture are yES 2) I only know 2 songs by them (Dream Catcher and Partners In Crime) but they're two of my favorites ever
If all Christmas songs where like his, I wouldn't complain about them being on too early, heck even if they were on repeat all year round, I'll be singing along
+koolflypocket Nonetheless, you've gotta admit that this is a cover of unrealistic standards. It's called a collaboration, that's a much better way to portray it than "this artist feat. this other artist". Kurt added more life to it with actual music rather than electronic, but Chase's voice is of another world. They're incredible together.
+Mendes' Muffin i think Artist - Song (feat. 2nd Artist) is a legal thing, in terms of how they have to tag it for proper credit with radio airplay and all that.
I have shown this cover to dozens of people and they look at me with all sorts of weird and freaked out faces. Idk, I love this cover and everything it stands for :')
XD SANTA DO YOU HEAR HIS DEMANDS GIVE HIM HIS BABY!!! He's made himself 10000000% clear. Santa listen to the edgy and haunting minor notes.. They mean business! XD seriously tho amazing felt like I was at a rock concert or something
Everyone in the comments be like "villain, creepy stalker vibe" meanwhile me who found this song on spotify like: "oh literally all i heard was someone who is desperately wishing for their deceased love to come back and is slowly going crazy"
I find it ironic UA-cam suggested this to me during the Christmas season. It must know I'm in the Christmas spirit or something. It was worth it. I love the decorations and the hats. Great wat to show that spirit!
Yesterday, at our christmas party, they asked me to sing a christmas song. I've been waiting for years for this opportunity. And I gave them this. You've no idea how good that felt.
Can't believe no one has made a video of David Tennant's Kilgrave/Purple Man obsessing over Jessica Jones. If you still haven't watched the Netflix show, this is perfect for him.
Every year I come back here to hear this. Like it calls to me all through november and then I remember FINALLY WHAT EXACT VIDEO my subconscious is calling for in december.
Chase's emotional voice cracks make this even better 1:09. His voice is so strong in this and my favorite part never fails to be my favorite; 1:02 The bells are so magical.
Listening to this masterpiece for the 10th year in a row (counting the year it was posted)! My fave Christmas song/cover ever since. Gonna blast it while decorating the tree
![Ariana Grande - "All I Want For Christmas Is You" [Mariah Carey cover] (Live in L.A. 11-10-12)](/img/n.gif)
It's been 5 years since we made this? Whaaaaaat. Merry Christmas everyone :-)
This is probably the only Christmas song I'll be playing this year!
Hi from Reddit👌
Merry christmas Chase
And ill continue playing it every year. Definitely my favorite version of this song
I can't believe that either...
We love yaa ♡♡
I love the creepy/stalker vibe, I've been looking for a cover like this ever since I saw Ollie MN's clip.
Hey It's Lily Check out Chase's channel, he made a few of these covers. :)
Malin Elisa Marie I did after seeing this video last month :)
I think the world need more songs with that kind of vibe! :D
@@PeanutTechno yeah agree,there is to many happy songs
I've been saying this for years. Remove the bells and other cheering music and the most "Beloved" christmas song becomes a "stalker ex gone crazy and wants their other half back, no matter what". Put any christmas song in the minor key and it becomes something very different.
Memories... ❤️ Merry Christmas 2017 everyone! 🎅🏻
H o l a
His voice is perfect for this....and the minor key was surprisingly really fitting...words fail to come to me.
This os Chase's series! He does the Major to Minor series so this is his imagining. Go check out his channel for more they are all seriously spine chilling!
Okay but this is 100% the song the antagonist would sing in a christmas-themed musical near the end when they're revealing that their motive the whole time was just heartbreak/unrequited love
I know I’m six years late to this comment but you are 100% right, haha!
Corny ass.
This proves that any song is a Halloween song when it’s put in a minor key.
I usually hate Christmas song covers but damn i m in love with this ibe
one
+Laughing Minx those are exactly my feelings right now
You guys need to make an actual album of different songs all transposed to a minor key like this. I would honestly buy a full album if it were like that!
+dubbajay1 Now I would LOVE a full Christmas album like this... and finally be the one enjoying that Christmas CD playing all day long during Christmas day with the family.
+Chase Holfelder If only these were available outside iTunes. Amazing stuff.
Izana is suffering I actually purchased Major to Minor on the Google Play store!
Dreamspectre i agree!!!! I will buy it too if this minor album comes out
Chase does have a minor key Album on Amazon, Itunes and possibly Google play(not sure about the last 2), but I know he has it on the amazon music store.
The only Christmas song I'm listening to this year ;^)
Omgg I know right!?
So your going to kidnap someone
I listen almost every day I never get tired of it.
Gave me chills
ikrr
+sophie m So many chills
+sophie m stfu sophie
+pierrick leroux Please grow up.
+sophie m Srsly. I can feel the chills running through my spine!
Wow...this was eerie. The concept was really clever though. It's interesting how drastically a song can be changed when it is changed to a minor key. This version sounded like it belongs in a horror movie lol :)
You should check out the rest of Chase's series Major to Minor! You'll love it!
Krampus
+Joja Lee Especially "Every Breath You Take". Of all the songs he's ever transcribed to minor this is the most extreme one, so my opinion :)
+Rebekah Mangels yeah, it's awesome, but creepy at the same time.
More like the opening credits of a Bond Movie...
My mother's birthday was on christmas. She passed when I was 8. Every christmas night growing up, I would sing this song to myself in hope she would come home. Wonderful rendition. Be proud of your gift.
gwalter521
So heart warming.
gwalter521
my brother birthday was christmas....he died this christmas driving here because he promise he'll come and the last song he heard according to his history was this song..
I'm so sorry you had to go through that at such a young age. Nobody should lose somebody so close so early. Much love ❤️
I'm so sorry. I feel you. Mine died when I was 3 or 4. Don't stop believing. Have a great day
I understand you. My sister died a few days before Christmas because of suicide.
It's even sadder when thought in a context of someone who recently lost someone this holiday season.
+Zerius Wolfhart Or having their first holidays without a loved one.
+TN Hawke could be a great movie plot. Like, the guy is crazy, and has to spend the Christmas without her....and then he ends up doing something bad like doing really dangerous drugs
This could inspire so many music video stories. It desperately needs to be in a sad Christmas movie or a scene or background story involving a memory around Christmas.
Literally thinking the exact same thing when I casually stumble upon this comment 😂
+Vocalkokoro Should be in Krampus
There's an Undertale amv(!) with this song. Any others?
there needs to be one made with jack & sally. if i made one, it would only be like 40-60 seconds & badly edited haha.
AubrentheJack mYSTIC mESSENGER
This is fantastic! Rock/Emo vibe
Drive By Reviews yeah
More like yandere yaoi vibe
Drive By Reviews. yes and i am emo XD :3
It’s a not emo beat
dude if you know more of this type pleeease pm me
After listening to this several times, I've realised two things:
1. It's awesome!

This video is kinda mysterious and seems scary but really nice work
+Mehnaaz Foondun definitely creepy, but glad you like it :P
+Kurt Hugo Schneider oh my god!! I can't believe you replied to my comment! I love you soo much😍
I got scared for a moment ;) but these people are amazing
+Mehera PNK I know! I had not read the title properly before watching the video so when the video started I was also scared😂
I agree
This sounds like a creepy stalker hunting after an innocent person.
That's what the song was made for
EXACTLY
Yes... This is perfect for my Anti-Christmas playlist.
Jeanny!!!
Dart King that’s the power of key change
Shame this isn't in the movie Krampus.....
+theamvgirlx exactly what i thought
i thought the same thing haha
+theamvgirlx all we need is some innovative video editing and then the krampus trailer would be made pretty awesome... :-)
+kyoko703 haha yeah that would be an awesome track to use for a trailer and the movie :)
check out Chads other videos, he made "Have yourself a merry little christmas" in a minor key aswell. its epic! :-)
All I wanted for Christmas is this collab *.*
+NikolsLife me 2. It's like christmas and birthday on one day.
Yesssssssss
+NikolsLife
+Kurt Schneider Fake. Reported.
Catherine Zheng no?
Either a song about wishing that recently deceased loved one would come back to life
Or a creepy song about a stalker confessing his obsession for his neighbour
Creepy song definitely, and the second one is just my fan fic of hello neighbor
@@lenaking9493 And its glorious!
I think it fits both perfectly
sdeluen thanks
I feel like this would make an awesome book/film. Maybe a guy who's spent all his life alone then eventually turns into some crazy murderer, then decides one Christmas that he's tired of living like this and hunts for a girl to call his own or something.
OMG!!! that would be an incredible history!!! if you can, write it please please please please~(*♡*)~
*Book writer finds this* That's a good idea and I'll make a top seller and use this song as the opening for the movie version
Cynder Charmander I think this would be best for a trailer.
Kurt needs to pin this comment!!!!
Cynder Charmander MAKE IT HAPPEN
THE MINOR KEY MAKES THIS SO HAUNTING AND BEAUTIFUL THIS WAS AMAZING
+JamesWronaVlogs yessssssssss i agree 200%
+JamesWronaVlogs 20/10 ;)
+JamesWronaVlogs glad ya like it james! :P
+Kurt Hugo Schneider Keep up the good work man!
Minor key = Major impact. Very well done!
brilliant, from a silly jolly tune to a Bond song:-) Love it
Wow. You nailed it. Knowing that makes me like it even more.
This is the basis for a stalker based Christmas themed horror film.
+Hank Hill Or a Christmas song that actually djents. Come on Hank just say what we're both thinking.
Perhaps also with a bit of propane?
+Hank Hill I just read that in your voice
+Hank Hill KRAMPUS!!!
EXACTLY HAHAHA
That “one” at 2:00 was AMAZING. Not to mention that “sound” at 1:44 was so good!!
Thanks for this early treat, Santa.
You rock, santa
+Crappy Af wtf
+Crappy Af Adam Lambert fan? :)
+Riley Green super.
+Crappy Af I'm right there with ya!
IT SOUNDS LIKE A VILLAIN VERSION AND THIS SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY BACK
It's mid-summer. But you know, Chase is goals
i feel that rn
He says sound of children's crying instead of children's laughter... creepy.
Chloe Baron that’s the point. And other times too like “nobody’s singing” and “none of the lights are shining”
cringey*
Chloe Baron that’s the fucking point..
Gionata Pulignano Not everything is cringy.
Do you know anything about songs in minor key? They're supposed to evoke an eerie ominous feeling.
1:58-2:04 soo amazing !
totally in love with this song!
This is the best thing I've ever heard in my entire life hands down no question
Sounds almost like something by "Set it Off". (Really good band)
yessss
that and I'm just so excited I found your comment
+Susan Li Omg. >:3
set it off are class !!
+Eren Jaeger 1) your name and picture are yES 2) I only know 2 songs by them (Dream Catcher and Partners In Crime) but they're two of my favorites ever
Crazy song. All I want for Christmas... :)
oh my god, how did I forget about this!? I'm obsessed again now. Merry Christmas everyone!
I swear ive watched this like 50 times, and yes who doesnt love a good song in minor in May
Yup it's November 1st and I'm ready to listen to this on repeat
Nicole Clemons I agree
me too haha
Nicole Clemons 20th november . start chistmasting
YAS
For me it's may 21 2019
If all Christmas songs where like his, I wouldn't complain about them being on too early, heck even if they were on repeat all year round, I'll be singing along
I swear, I fell in love with the song instantly
Kurt, this is one of the best covers you've ever done!!
Agreed!! Btw, Liza, you are a great singer💕
+koolflypocket Nonetheless, you've gotta admit that this is a cover of unrealistic standards. It's called a collaboration, that's a much better way to portray it than "this artist feat. this other artist".

"Kurt"
Kurt?
KURT?!
JUST KURT?!
Hey, it's 2024! This is now 9 years old and is still the coolest version of this song
Kurt, this is incredibly minored! :D
+Jack Le minoring cover :P ^o^
+Jack Le love your covers jack
+Jack Le IKR!
thanks! :)
I don't want to be a downer but I feel like this was minors by chase since that's his thing
It sounds a little like the opening theme for a James Bond movie.
ye thought about the exact same thing :D
I could ship it
+James Mcenanly "From Russia with best wishes for Christmas"
I totally agree!
+James Mcenanly sounds like it could go in the krampus movie too
Here again from last year. Still gives me chills
Chaos same
I love songs in minor keys and I absolutely love this one! Quite different and memorable, for sure!
This is on replay during my Christmas Day. Kurt and Chase are so talented x
Merry Christmas everyone! :D
This is still a part of my annual Christmas playlist
If there ever was a 2020 version of this song, this is it right here.
music for the creepiest Christmas evet
*ever
This still hits hard 🔥
This is magnificent - can't believe I've only just found this
Same
I would normally hate this song but this minor key cover made it fucking awesome! good job
This is such a great song, really like the dark sound!!
I have shown this cover to dozens of people and they look at me with all sorts of weird and freaked out faces. Idk, I love this cover and everything it stands for :')
Ah I love this so much
+Rachelleea Look at BIG UA-camR!
Yes, great work!

I can see jack singing this on the mountain

Yuki Moon jack the pumpkin king
nightmare before christmas
+Akira oh 0o0
This cover is SANTAstic!!
No but really it's beautiful.
+Mischief Managed haha love that :P
Favorite Christmas song rendition...ever... I come here every year to listen.
50 Shades of Grey: Christmas Special
I thought so too lol
+Jackie Poole More like Krampus
I was thinking the same thing tbh 😂
+Jackie Poole don't tarnish this song that way
+S. exactly!
lol love the sound... makes me think of like a destroyed christmas and the child is trying to reconcile and be happy but its not working
and that,ladies and gentlemen is how you do a cover...
you gotta make it your own...
XD SANTA DO YOU HEAR HIS DEMANDS GIVE HIM HIS BABY!!! He's made himself 10000000% clear. Santa listen to the edgy and haunting minor notes.. They mean business! XD seriously tho amazing felt like I was at a rock concert or something
+Abby Felton thanks abby!
+Kurt Hugo Schneider
i wish chrissy know i love her, because i am her number one fan, i really really love her, i live her so much.

+Caleb Kim
i am not real chrissy
+Chrissy Costanza
i am her number one fans :-)
More like a Jack Skellington's new lament !!!!
+Gamers Machi Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking!
I love this.
YES
Everyone in the comments be like "villain, creepy stalker vibe" meanwhile me who found this song on spotify like: "oh literally all i heard was someone who is desperately wishing for their deceased love to come back and is slowly going crazy"
I find it ironic UA-cam suggested this to me during the Christmas season. It must know I'm in the Christmas spirit or something. It was worth it.
I love the decorations and the hats. Great wat to show that spirit!
If they ever do a James Bond Christmas movie, this should be the opener.
One of the best cover of ur channel for sure
2:39-2:40 scared the crap out of me
Y?
thanks for the warning
I found this in of my playlists and I have to say this song is LIT!
Yesterday, at our christmas party, they asked me to sing a christmas song. I've been waiting for years for this opportunity. And I gave them this.
You've no idea how good that felt.
😳 this is terrifying, but his amazing voice wouldn't let me leave the video!
I usually hate Christmas music BUT THIS IS AMAZING OMG
+Chrystall WentzUrieAllen if all christmas music sounded like this, I might actually listen to it.
Why do you hate Christmas??! 😳
+Anneloes Zandbelt oH NO I love Christmas, it's my favorite holiday but some songs I just hear too often Dx
+Chrystall WentzUrieAllen hi fellow brendon profile pic
+Senpai Brown nICE PIC CX
"All I want for christmas is you!"
"Aww!"
The next morning you wake up trapped inside a box, and you hear her footsteps walking towards you.
Please, please do an entire Christmas album like this. It would instantly be my most-played Christmas album.
This is soooo much cooler than any other Christmas song.. And it's April. Deffinetly bookmarking this song for the holidays!
2 years and im still coming back here every christmas season. Real bop
Can't believe no one has made a video of David Tennant's Kilgrave/Purple Man obsessing over Jessica Jones. If you still haven't watched the Netflix show, this is perfect for him.
+Jesse Cortez YAS
I just now noticed this could be the music for it xD
+Jesse Cortez 10000000x yes!!!!!
Ace Duggar Sweet! It's too perfect a match not to create something.
+Jesse Cortez I don't know. Have you seen his Major to Minor version of Every Breath You Take? Perfect for a stalker. :)
OMFG his voice is just *AMAZING* !! :O
And the minor key makes it just more epic !
Congrats, this is absolutly AWESOME :D !!
Years later and I'm still obsessed
i have no words for this cover, I'm impressed
"I'm impressed" These are words... ;0 )
I love the way he sung this! wow! 😍
Still coming back every year to listen to this again.
You got me!! I fell in love with it. Please make a lot of Minor Key cover. This gives me a theme of dark christmas. Thanks a lot.
you guys are seriously talented ! MASTERS !
Still love this...after watching for many years...so very talented.
I hate christmas music in general.. this... this was perfect! Well done sir... well done!
I cry
SHIT :'(
Omg me too #twinsss 😭😂
me too, omg
Ah t'es la toi 😂
yes so beautyful
Heard the opening , was gonna click out but I decided to give it a chance. Glad I did, this is the best thing I've heard in a while!
Race, color, credence, state of mind or age -- we can all agree that this song is fucking awesome.
Yandere yoosung got me here
WoozII
Me too 😂😍✌
WoozII same
SAME
WoozII MEH TOOOO
Lolololol same
Every year I come back here to hear this. Like it calls to me all through november and then I remember FINALLY WHAT EXACT VIDEO my subconscious is calling for in december.
the power of this music gives the clarifies the songs meaning better than the original. btw.. my kind of genre
Santa, I wish you would really exist just to hear this
What do you mean really exist? 😉
😉😂Well....................
+Ricarda Stiefel crushing the dreams of younger fellows :/
+Danielle Frances That's my job😈
Wait… so Santa is not real?
Chase's emotional voice cracks make this even better 1:09. His voice is so strong in this and my favorite part never fails to be my favorite; 1:02 The bells are so magical.
wow this guy can sing!! great work as always!
This Yandere style tho.
Astrid Purple. I love this comment ❤❤
Listening to this masterpiece for the 10th year in a row (counting the year it was posted)! My fave Christmas song/cover ever since. Gonna blast it while decorating the tree
It's kind of an alternative pop-rock version... LOVE IT SO MUCH
