When you were here before. I could look you in the eye. You’re just like an angel. Your skin makes me smile. You float like a feather, in a beautiful world. You make me feel special. We’re so very special. I’m not a creep. I’m not a weirdo. I know exactly what I’m doing here. I do belong here. You’ve healed all my wounds. You’ve helped me take control. We’re together in our bodies. Together in our souls. I know you would notice, if weren’t around. You make me feel special. We’ve got something special. I’m not a creep. I’m not a weirdo . I know exactly what I’m doing here. I do belong here. We’re flying up so high! Flying up so high! We fly, fly, fly, fly FLY!! Whatever makes you happy. Whatever you want. You’re so very special. You make me feel special. I’m not a creep. I’m not a weirdo. I know exactly what we’re doing here. I do belong here. We do belong here.
Too many times the word "special". You are soooo unique, Monique. You bring me joy, Joy. You inspire me peace, Eunice. You smell like a field of cherries, Sherry. You pay my bills, Jill.
Some 25 years ago a flute playing friend of mine and I, playing guitar, noticed that songs with a lot of #'s were a lot easier to play if he ignored three of them, thus making it minor. We took Bye Bye Love, played it in minor only instrumentally, started playing it slower and claimed we were doing a "New Hebrew Folk Song". The audience didn't recognise it until we sped up. Was a lot of fun.
David, I have to say I admire you a lot, specifically because you are so young and have so much musical education. I am 65 and just now learning basic music theory, and your videos are a major reason I took interest in music. I also like how you incorporate your sponsors into the theme of your lessons. How young were you when you started your journey in music?
@@JalenJaguar I'm 54, and only started my musical career two years ago. During that time, David has been a strong source of knowledge and inspiration. So thank you for that, David!
The band Ghost did exactly that on their cover of Here Comes the Sun. Changed to minor key without changing the lyrics and it was enough to turn it into a song that talks about the Antichrist (Here Comes the Son)
A Perfect Circle did something like this with their cover of Imagine. By putting it in minor (and of course with different production and vocal delivery), it ends up feeling ominous, tense, even vaguely threatening.
I really liked the way the melody interacted with the G chord in this new version of "Don't Stop Believin'." When he sings "anywhere" he now sings a major 7th over the chord. Very pretty. By the way, maybe the title of the minor key version should be called "Stop Believin'"? Or just "Give up Hope"? And "Here Comes the Sun" should be "There Goes the Moon."
if you haven't heard it before, the band ghost has covered 'here comes the sun' and taken all the joy out of it so that it sounds eerie and unsettling and incredible - completely in line with the image of the band. highly recommend!
@@Rafael-pi4md it most definitely is! especially considering on the tracklist, it's placed after 'genesis' (birth of the antichrist) and chronologically right before infestissumam (whose concept is the antichrist walking the earth). i honestly love ghost lore
This approach is the best way to learn about modes and theory. Actually hearing and having your ear understand the effect of substitution is so much better than simply theoretical and intellectual understanding .
Dang, "Hey Jude" in minor is so haunting... The other ones didn't give me that much effect, but the first one makes me wanna lie in my bathtub with my clothes on, and rethink every single life choice I made.
Minor is so, so underrated. It actually sounds really good a lot of times! **Edit** Loved Fur elise at the end! Such a pretty song, sounds great altered as well!
@@DavidBennettPiano My pleasure, because I found it really interesting and fascinating,a shift between scales and one of my all time favourite songs meaning House Of The Rising Sun was a great example😊😊Greetings from a Finn from Poland 🙃
I did the A major -> A harmonic minor change on a Scottish march for an intonation exercise for a fiddle student just last night (Duke of Fife's Welcome to Deeside, sounded surprisingly good). Fun to see this in my feed today, with it on my mind already!
I admire your ability to make such a productive use of a software i don't even grasp the sense of it. And it was really hilarious to listen to your "particular" versions.
Wow, you made Here comes the sun into a absolute tragedy fest xD And Don't stop believin' sounds really weird as well. Kinda like a 80s synth pop hit, it has that feeling to it. House of the Rising Sun is changed so much it sounds like he is proud his father was a gambler. Creep sounds like somebody who has given up on life or can't reach his loved person. Für Elise is going from Minor to Major, isn't it. It almost sounds happy now.
For some reason I've always favored the natural minor/Aeolian mode over the harmonic minor. Not sure why, but that cooler, more melancholic sound just appeases my ears more than harmonic resolution. That being said, while I do like the harmonic minor versions of the Beatles' songs, I feel like "Don't Stop Believin'" would work much better in the natural minor. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the song uses the Axis progression that you have mentioned in previous videos (I-V-vi-IV). Transposing that to i-V-VI-iv, I feel like it throws off that natural balance between major and minor within the progression itself. I-V-vi-IV has a nice even flow to it, so I think transposing it to its exact opposite (i-v-IV-iv) would be much smoother. Just my opinion. Up for debate though!
David, I saw this title and immediately prepared to comment with "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" (CAP)...So glad to see the song, and Cole, remembered. Not surprised since it's you. Thanks
What I learned today - Good music is good music. Major or minor is just colour. This is quite liberating. Great video David - I'd happily listen to the entire Beatles catalogue, polarity flipped.
Drums aren't atonal. They are maybe (arguably) unpitched, but not atonal. Atonal describes something that is in opposition to tonal music, like twelve-tone music.
I was relieved when you mentioned the D Major in "House of the Rising Sun". It's an important chord, because it's one of those non-diatonic chords (okay, it's fine for A Minor Harmonic, but there's also an F chord in there). You really do have an eye for detail and seem to miss nothing.
Will you do a video Introduction to jazz theory, or how to make piano solo, or how to improvise anytime? I know that there are many videos about that, but your videos are so understandable and perfect always.
Not sure I like the transformed songs much, but an interesting exercise anyway, especially when you have to deal with chords that weren't in the key to start with! Thanks for making the video. Quite a disclaimer in the description!
One of the reasons I started watching UA-cam music theory channels a few years ago was to break out of the natural minor rut that I’d been in for decades, and try some modes and harmonic approaches that could broaden my palette. But I have to say that I prefer your minor key versions to the major originals, so I guess Aeolian still just feels like home to me!
Singing about a sad song in a happy tune makes it somehow sadder to me, Coldplay does this very well. It’s like, alright we’re sad but, it’s just life, 10 minutes later something good can happen but in the moment we are just really really sad
Hey David, great video as usual. Maybe you could expand on this idea for a future video. Using the same song you could go through all the seven modes and demonstrate how each scale has a specific feel. We would need a song with a relatively complex melody and or harmony but it would be very interesting.
I’ve always been curious as to how a full cannon in d minor would sound like. After fiddling around with my friends we actually reached a very satisfactory rendition of the song, with all of its nuances and all, but also sounding really sad due to the minor scale. Our best arrangement to date in my opinion
One Christmas when I was a teenager, I was feeling in a foul mood because all of my friends were busy doing family stuff, which my family wasn't exactly good at. I went to my faithful Commodore 64, loaded up some composition software, and entered that classic "Surly One Morning". It helped to get the grumpiness out of my system.
I listened to the theme of "Nightmare on Elm Street" in Major key once, and it was the most victorious progression I've heard in ages, worthy of being in a Final Fantasy game.
Hey Jude -> Bye Jude Here Comes the Sun -> There Goes the Sun Don't Stop Believin' -> Do Stop Believin' House of the Rising Sun -> House of the Setting Sun Love Me Do -> Love Me Don't Creep -> Obsessive Stalker
That version of Here Comes The Sun in natural minor sounds a lot like an Arctic Monkeys song. Gotta love how such a minor change has such an impact on the vibe.
Hey David, just saw you on Geography Now, on the UK episode, it was nice to see a familiar face there, and you did an awesome job explaining your country's music history, Thanks lml
Haaa! A lot of the music I write is in Mixolydian because I just like it, it fits my vibes well. Do you want to hazard a guess of what my very first "favorite" song was? Yep, Love Me Do. I was 6 years old when I fell in love with that song. This explains so much...
Fantastic video! I've made a game out of changing major/minor chords for years. Also fun to simply imagine a different key signature and then play what's on the page. Amazing how often it results in something interesting or beautiful.
Great video, David. Even though, at first i thought you were going to make a video about songs that change from the parallel major scale to the parallel minor, from verse to chorus. An easy example would be "The fool on the hill" by the Beatles, or in Spanish there's a song by Spinetta called "Tema de pototo" and a classic tango song called "Por una cabeza". You should make such a video (if you haven´t). Thank you!
Yesss this is one of my favorite applications of music theory knowledge! Incredible what lowering that 3rd degree can do. Excellent video & would love to see more of this as a series
I'm an amateur chorister and this winter, when one of my choirs was rehearsing Händel's Messiah, we joked about the Halelujah chorus in the minor key. A few minutes of experiments showed that that can work well.
Really enjoyed this! I have no musical training at all, but like watching music theory videos because even though I probably miss a lot of the detail, I always enjoy feeling like I have some theoretical understanding of something I usually experience on an instinctual level. Anyway I thought it was interesting that despite to my eyes, explaining how changing a song from major to minor or vice-versa involves changing such-and-such a chord to this-or-that, depending on these few factors etc etc... Makes it look like something you'd have to be a trained musician with an understanding of music theory to do. But despite that my brain just knows automatically how to do it! In fact it's something I do all the time just for fun because it's really interesting to hear a familiar song get completely changed while still somehow sounding the same.

The only song that sounded good with the major/minor change was the Fur Elise.
@@spindriftdrinker makes fur Elise sound like a Bach counterpoint… certainly strange to listen to but I found them quite refreshing Ngl
... and made the Animals sound like John Otway.
Minored Beatles sound like second-rate Bond movie songs.
So what happens when we switch "Eleanor Rigby" then?
For some reason I really loved "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey in the minor key. It had such an emotional impact.
Could see that version used in a cinematic release eluding to an emotional moment
Yeah it would make a great minor ballad. I wonder if anybody has ever covered it like that?
Agree, and honestly slow it down further and it would be perfectly moody
"Don't Stop Believing", says the cult pastor organizing a mass suicide.
It literally turned into a Foreigner song

I converted a whole bunch of Christmas songs using the 'Diatonic' feature of Cakewalk. 'Linus and Lucy' sounded like a hora!
@@dhpbear2 LMAO!
Made “Creep” even sadder than it already is, great job.
Don't Stop Believing actually sounds really good in the minor key. I want the whole song like that now!
Don't stop believing sounds like it got ripped from a mysterious vampire musical.
I agree, I like it better than major even.
Perry would have nailed it
It exists! ua-cam.com/video/iAqHY85RbV8/v-deo.html
You made Journey sound like Supertramp
I didn't catch this at first but went back and wow, now I can't unhear it.

7:43 That D to Gm chord progression sounded SO CLEAN!
1. Bye Jude
2. Here comes the moon
3. Stop Believing
4. Love me don't
Dont forget about House of the Setting Sun :D
“Here comes the moon” is actually a song by George Harrison

Please do full versions of Here Comes the Sun and Hey Jude in minor keys. These are hysterical.

I really liked the way the melody interacted with the G chord in this new version of "Don't Stop Believin'." When he sings "anywhere" he now sings a major 7th over the chord. Very pretty.
By the way, maybe the title of the minor key version should be called "Stop Believin'"? Or just "Give up Hope"? And "Here Comes the Sun" should be "There Goes the Moon."
I loved the choice to end with a major "Fur Elise," btw.
How can a human vocal sing a 7th chord?
The band Ghost covered Here Comes the Sun in minor and it worked very well
I was looking for this comment 😂
@@joelchurchill6297 me too
You must publish the full version of each song. Its absolutely gorgeous.
When I started learning about reharmonization, I've been keeping the notes of a melody unchanged but changed the chords to be darker and vice versa.

It can also be a wordplay with Sun and Son, with Son being the Antichrist - little darling, here comes the son, and it's all right
@@Rafael-pi4md it most definitely is! especially considering on the tracklist, it's placed after 'genesis' (birth of the antichrist) and chronologically right before infestissumam (whose concept is the antichrist walking the earth). i honestly love ghost lore
