[@shanemuse4699]

is it me or does radiohead sound happier in a minor key than a major key

[@LordandShip]

just you

[@marcmorey8772]

But it does feel much more laid back

[@bobtheduck]

Nope, it sounds that way to me, too. I mean, it's not particularly happy either way, but this is a bit diminished.

[@svalchemy]

bobtheduck What you did there, I saw it.

[@cebrin]

It does sound more relaxed. That's because it isn't as emotionally manipulative as the original, which dances in major and minor with the vocals in a less direct way than this version.

[@queentortillachip7468]

and then it was muse

[@thesundayghost8625]

Queen Tortilla Chip oh my gosh you're right😂😂😂

[@infamousdino5679]

holy shit

[@zeexzr]

lol

[@Juniper_Rose]

The original was more or less sarcastic. I.e "You're SO fucking special" This one sounds sincere. Like Thom legitimately misses someone.

[@koalo6955]

I feel like the original is more bitter/jealous than it is sarcastic

[@PBL187]

This is just a censored version though, the known version says “very” on censored versions. I get the feeling THIS is the original version, but they prob changed it cos it sounds way too depressing in minor key

[@DeVoEse]

It almost takes a little bit of a sinister turn in minor key. I kinda love it.

[@TiodaniPKM]

I don't know how to describe, this version does not sound exactly darker, but more "hipster/indie". The dissonance with the major key gives more emotion.

[@vanilla_labelle]

exactly, the major feels more like faux punk indie. this one sounds like a garage band of suburban dads

[@jaykeijaykeiunless7036]

Me when people equate indie and hipster: 🙃🙃😬🙃🤐🙃🙃

[@tacobunny9532]

This version actually makes me feel the words. It shines a whole new light on the song and what he felt writing it. I appreciate this so much.

[@BiancaPodaru]

Tabitha Harrington Yep! It gives more emotion, as it doesn't sound flat.

[@PBL187]

Bianca Podaru As opposed to watching them perform the usual version live? (There's one vid in particular, see below) But that aside, it is rather good in minor :)

[@PBL187]

[@jamielonsdale3018]

The first song was supposed to be sarcastic and dissonant.

[@MattIsTheCat]

Let’s be honest, they probably didn’t really care?

[@sunshineramirez7766]

The reason it sounds happier is cuz it's a sad song that sounds sad. That's to be expected.but to hear such sad lyrics to such a happy beat,kinda makes you go like "whoa I feel pity" does that make sense?

[@danielwilkins7509]

Yes, actually😞.

[@mxtantrum]

We need Radiohead to hear this. We really do.

[@IllusionaryFuneral]

Maybe Radiohead wouldn’t hate their own song if they heard it reworked like this.

[@chewycenter7690]

Angrier and more confident, like he's not really interested in belonging there. Disdain instead of yearning. I like.

[@YesItsbee]

this

[@mossdaughter]

The one actually feels sadder to me. The kind where you're just overwhelmed with depression it all just numbs out

[@ogrishmonsanto7372]

great the intro now sounds like the one from audioslave's "like a stone"

[@avsky837]

wow what an improvement - & by changing the key it circumvents the Hollies copyright.

[@cottonhatcat6401]

this really accentuates the rocker feel in the chorus, but also it sounds less weary and more pissed the fuck off about the circumstances.

[@zakrickun8444]

sounds like muse.

[@elchina]

muse cambia la tonalidad de las canciones de radiohead y hace sus canciones

[@LisaSpringfield]

^The guy wrote his original in English. So reply in English you dumbass or don't say anything at all.

[@giovannicalabro8432]

Viva la figah

[@DoeDeer]

Sounds more depressing and pitiful than the original. Nice.

[@ILikeVideos62]

How do these words actually sound better with a major key!? Shows how good Radiohead are. Thanks for the vid.

[@nidhikih2451]

Actually the original song doesn't follow the G major scale everytime, for example, the second and the fourth chords on its harmony, B major and C minor, don't belong to the scale of the song, as both have the note Eb, I mean, the song may have a determined key, but actually it also plays notes of the G minor scale (For example, Eb), and that makes it even more depressing than a song that just following a determined scale all the time

[@ILikeVideos62]

It's a D sharp on the B major chord (which is the dominant key of the relative minoe E minor), then a Eb for the C minor (a flattened 6th). It sounds depressing no matter what xD

[@kookeekwisp]

Is it weird i find this song a lot better in Minor?

[@SomeGuy-sd1fv]

nah I love it way more than the original

[@kookeekwisp]

...if you agree with me, why are you saying Nah? You know this version's in minor, right? but yes, this version is a lot better than the original.

[@lottie8156]

+kookeekwisp I think he's saying nah it's not weird of u to think that

[@SomeGuy-sd1fv]

+Lot tie exactly

[@Sred87]

kookeekwisp I agree

[@pipwolverine]

Sounds pretty good actually xD

[@SpaceCattttt]

You have an amazing name. What the hell?

[@AquaKawwi]

im feeling a light seven

[@avedic]

lightony seventano?

[@manuel8887]

This actually sounds more major than the original...

[@manuel8887]

No, it's in G major, it's just that it uses a lot of modal exchange chords (please correct me if I'm wrong on the terminology here, English is my second language), which is using chords from the parallel key, in this case being a song in G major that uses some chords used in the key of G minor.

[@bromixsr]

Wrong.

[@MaggaraMarine]

I wouldn't say it sounds more "major" than the original. But it sounds less depressing, more relaxed or something. And yeah, the original is G major B major C major C minor. B major is actually the dominant of the relative minor (E minor). C minor is from G minor.

[@lf8198]

Major doesn't mean happy. It means a key that doesn't rely on flats or sharps in C major. All the songs that make me cry are in major keys.

[@katiecresonify]

I have loved this song ever since it first came out. Upon listening to this version, I'm surprised to say that I actually enjoyed it. Personally, I feel the music backs up the lyrics of this particular tune (as opposed to the instruments carrying, or making up for weak lyrics) so it was interesting for me to hear it altered to minor...like it sounded more like what he is singing about. But then again, the original will always be my first love.

[@AndyWenmanMusicVideo]

It's weird that I actually sympathise with Thom Yorke here whereas I didn't in the original.

[@eduardozepol2000]

The original sounds kind of sarcastic maybe that's why we can't relate

[@chatgptnewslive2023]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO "WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS"

[@sillybillywillyjilly]

OMG PLEASE!!!

[@myfreeyoutubered4598]

Pretty sure it already is in minor

[@MalMotorDedo]

This sounds like a transition from being depressed to feeling like a rockstar, but getting depression again and never recovering, if that makes sense...

[@richardmorris2634]

The impossible feat of making this song sadder has been achieved. Good job.

[@ryanabram4940]

The lyrics in 'Hey Jude' literally go, "Take a sad song, and make it better...". The joke was intended for the minor key version of 'Hey Jude', and you know it.

[@IHeartNoise]

Sounds strangely upbeat...

[@Merlinfoop]

I Heart Noise / Ilya S the song is meant to be happy, but still bittersweet, in a "this is who I am but what could be?" type of way

[@mannyandersson]

Love the original but always felt it sounded, I dunno, kinda flat and simple. This feels waay creep-ier, more nuanced some how, more emotional and more honest. Dunno, just LOVE this!

[@dudeman1456]

This is... fantastic? Like, genuinely really really good?!

[@djunior874]

When the guitar first hits in that chorus in minor it is fucking CUTTING. So intense, my god.

[@kamisntbritish838]

Sounds like muse

[@Lunejix]

+kamisntbritish ! Matthew Bellamy confessed he was inspired a lot by the vocal style of Thom Yorke.

[@daurpm]

+Lunejix As far as recorded proof is concerned he has always denied it.

[@SomeGuy-sd1fv]

kind of

[@dullheadedfreak]

*Note: Muse sounds like Radiohead.

[@breegull6467]

This fits the lyrics so much better haha

[@IMMINOSUS]

This brings out the guitar alot more

[@lovelyperson9]

Holy damn, try it at 1.25!! It's actually so good!

[@eldweebot.v.2621]

totaly worth it

[@Orby387]

Oh my....It's like Interpol.

[@rebelguy9487]

No....it's so very special....lol

[@shalvatoredeo8972]

U're psycho

[@MiguelAngel-lm3ed]

My depression has despression now

[@N0248]

So dark... sweet

[@arcobow97]

That sounds awesome

[@LornaEGL]

Man this is better than the original!! I can't believe how much of a difference it makes!

[@rhythmista7707]

I think they would've avoided the lawsuit from The Hollies had they originally done it this key !.. LOL ! It actually sounds more like something they'd do..

[@sparkedindignation7774]

I love this! Gave me chills during the chorus and bridge especially, so intense.

[@lapinlogic6267]

This version transforms it into the "Plans of a psychopath" especially from "I Don't care if it Hurts"

[@Klaeyr94]

Wow... That chorus is incredible. What program and tools are you using to make these?

[@xVancha]

First time I haven't wanted a song to end in a long long time.

[@SephBentos]

It would be cool to hear some Weezer or silverchair songs reworked in to minor.

[@jonasocasek3981]

Seph Bentos "Say It Ain't So" in Major Key!

[@SephBentos]

Say it ain't so in minor would be boss!

[@nolongerinuse915]

+Seph Bentos I'm pretty sure it is in minor, C minor, if i'm not mistaken.

[@metalslimehunt]

Fuck, that last note actually startled me.

[@dancarrington7100]

It makes more sense this way, there's more emotion to it, and there's a more dramatic feel to it.

[@Trillllsamm]

This song sounds so good in g minor, wow I like it a lot

[@dylmwidner]

Love how it sounds like the lyrics intend it to sound like

[@Joshyboy1928]

So so good.

[@Nihlbohg]

Oh it's a Muse song now nice

[@TheThing4444]

Almost sounds like the intro song for a villain origin.

[@plane15man]

I was listening to this song while scrolling through my Facebook feed and ended up on a video of kids singing to their teacher who has cancer. It fit perfectly, even when she was crying. Oh my god...

[@kyle9401]

This is apparently one of those songs where, if recorded in the original major key or in this minor, the result would have been the same: an awesome song.

[@StormBurnX]

Melodyne, as far as I know. If you can get the stems for a song, that's best, but if not, you can still do it all with one program. Melodyne takes any audio you feed into it and separates it into small pieces, where each piece is one note, then you can drag them around to re-arrange them, thus shifting the pitch of individual notes.

[@sheldonstones]

Amazing!

[@mannyisaacs5880]

The video is back...!!!

[@inthenameofcontractlendmem983]

Oh shit. This's improved alot.

[@danielwilkins7509]

Its like Radiohead is finally admitting his true fellings, to the woman he loves. Perhaps its a eulogy, for a loved one?

[@AntiChangeling]

i love the chorus on this so bitey

[@Julesasaurusrex]

This completely encompasses “thanks I hate it” Cool but so creepy

[@ohmbettafish323]

I need the chord progression of this version.

[@MrDemby1]

this sounds more like a radiohead song than the original lol

[@stonks4707]

The songs are beautiful in the minor key, but they are sad

[@ObscuredJellybelly]

Awesome! I'd love to hear Smashing Pumpkins' Today this way!

[@markrayton6385]

Love it !!!

[@Frucinante]

Masterpiece.

[@Perzzza]

Sounds like The National on their first recordings. Awesome.

[@gassug2]

feels more relaxed and not as angry or vindicative as the original. the original had a G B C Cm progression, this is Gm Bb Cm (2 measures of Cm to be exact). there's not much dissonance, so the song feels more relaxed

[@fosterl7029]

It's sounds so much happier in this key.

[@morganm1310]

Oh my god I love this

[@scorcher59]

that's one hell of an algorythm!

[@Bruuba]

Amazing

[@pinkfreud001]

This was very good.

[@bradleyworthy2107]

Damn this is good

[@danielwilkins7509]

Thom is admitting,to the the World, "Know what? This is not all fun and games, for me! I HAVE to do this😞". Or, something like that.

[@gabsy_ferreira]

Dunno why, but I like this WAY better

[@yuome4193]

Thanks, now my depression has depression

[@oracleofdewphi]

This is awesome and I love your channel! If you take requests at all, I would love to hear Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" in a major key.

[@TheWhanfried]

Sounds like steel being worked on.Nice

[@jamespakan4914]

The edit sounds good

[@zawarudo6805]

It has something... devotional.

[@Viimane]

Please rework Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me by The Smiths. It also has a C Cm modulation in the original version but set in a minor key....would be very thwarted I guess as the original is already thwarted itself...

[@martinmyslik13]

Man, I need a Spotify playlist with your remakes... Is there one?

[@hiccup4423]

truuu so

[@hannes1734]

Why do you not change the scale of the drums to minor as well?

[@TheAstroTaco13]

with the mastertapes

[@MrOnionterror]

Drums are percussive, they don't play notes. You can't change their pitch.

[@hannes1734]

MrOnionterror No shit! I thought one would see that i meant this sarcastic.

[@hannes1734]

*****​​ Of course, as a drummer, guitarist and singer i do not know what my instruments are, like, why would you expect a musician to know about music, right? And what Mr. Onion said: You can change the pitch of drums. It's called tuning. Of course you cannot change the pitch of the cymbals, but that of your drums, yes.

[@MrOnionterror]

So what was the purpose of your question? To trap someone into looking stupid? To make yourself feel intelligent? Because it didn't work.

[@evaneleven17]

Dope

[@mannyisaacs5880]

My aunt would refuse to listen to that in a million years!

[@dianemariemichelle3141]

Creep - sung by Green Day

[@VJFranzK]

This is how I now feel when another person insists on singing it at Karaoke!

[@Josh-lo6ws]

oh shit, didnt notice. thank you for enlightening me..

[@multiskype]

why did they even record a song like this in major key? this always makes me wonder..

[@PASCUALSANTIAGO]

louder guitars give more "rage"

[@benejeneb]

Maybe some happy Metallica next? Although might be sacrilege. Hhmmmm maybe 'Dancing In The Moonlight' by Toploader? So happy it would be very interesting to hear. Keep up the first rate work :D

[@Tomtaroo]

OR in a shocking turn of events, Six months ago I wrote a throwaway comment on a sad song I really like and how it was made even sadder by a Minor key transition. I dont quite get how it was a joke as a statement of fact but heyho. Also Maria by Blondie would be pretty cool transcribed I think.

[@mikepitts3130]

Cool.

[@mxtantrum]

I want this version played at my funerral

[@coldacre]

only thing is it should have gone to a major key for the 4th chord. you can't reverse the minor chords for the first 3 bars and leave the 4th bar as a minor! a bit shit!

[@gopetogle]

Coldacre I don't know, I quite like it the way it sounds here!

[@FerminHandsome]

or using a half-diminished like: Cm - Cm7b5

[@pink_phoenix]

Like a inside-out IV Minor

[@jeffryJEFFRYWITH1Ewillis]

very interesting

[@PBL187]

This feels very much like a demo version rather than an edit, the quality of it screams “DEMO”, it’s pretty lo fi and unpolished

[@Fera-gr5mm]

You would need to have a source (such like musescore) and then editing it would sound "normal". I guess OP is directly editing the singing and instruments, which can never be perfect.

[@Juniper_Rose]

I believe it was supposed to be sarcastic (hence "You're so fucking special. I wish I was special like you.")

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

I actually like this better then the original especially with the end making me cry.
