Where did the face swapped version go? I can't seem to find it anymore. I thought that one was really cool and actually kind of poignant despite it's ridiculousness.

[@jarombrand]

Fake Name, yeah that was a good one. It seems to have been removed

[@kevinking2008]

Hit 👍before you were even done. That was SO awesome!

[@fakename3344]

@@fufufufufu3993 I don't know. It was probably a few people who made a loud fuss about it. Either for mentioning a president they personally dislike or painting a president they like in a bad light, depending on which "side" they're on. Despite the description specifically saying it was neither. It's a shame. People are becoming so tribalistic that really cool art like that is becoming rarer and rarer.

[@maarmaat]

If you're looking for idea for another major to minor, I'd love to hear Faithfully by Journey. Trust me, after changing it to minor, it hits hardon the inside

[@NCon-to5wn]

I feel like a post apocalyptic movie set in America could use this as its theme

[@jacobbrown466]

If my dystopian society were to ever make into a book and become popular, I'd definitely use this as the theme song of it

[@nickkurtz512]

NickTheNerd War. War never changes.

[@andrewhawthorne5526]

The man in the high castle?

[@djbrown79]

It turns out you didn't need to wait for a movie.

[@cazperzero]

I'm adding this to my pre-game playlist for my discord/roll20 fallout game

[@UnicornTrash690]

I have an idea. Could you do "Once upon a December" from the Disney movie Anastasia?

[@medd-lee]

I cant upvote this enough

[@sadsongsandsunshine]

Please!!

[@kristentejera7160]

Absolutely!

[@ok_schlatter]

I hate that you called it a "Disney movie"

[@reedamanda814]

Love this idea.. but Anastasia isn't Disney... I made the mistake of calling it that once.. never lived it down. lol

[@carrot561]

dude you should pumped up kicks minor key.... that would sound really good.

[@sal5704]

Carrot omg good idea, that would be so creepy

[@elenacienfuegos8450]

Carrot It isn’t in minor key already? Wow. A lot of songs have different keys that expected.

[@clintbeaver19]

This song would be legendary in a “Purge” movie!

[@lotus5770]

Good point.

[@hattopo]

I like the idea of it being in a showing of the aftermath of all of the purge.

[@Hhifix]

no that idea is *Boring* it would sound better in a movie about the fall of America. Like *The Plot Against America* or a Movie similar to it. A Movie About America’s Collapse Or Something Like That. *And It Would Have To Be A GOOD Movie*

[@afternoontaee]

we're living in the society this version of the song represents

[@kaylimcginnis]

Even truer in 2024

[@beaniebutter2889]

*is this the fourth of July or Halloween????* either way I love it

[@thatthingyouseeatthecorner5249]

beaniebutter Its July 3rd

[@Deificus]

yes

[@nemebliss]

Now the face matches that breathtaking voice. Thanks for this version too, love your major to minor videos so so much

[@cailyncox9733]

don’t care if i’ve already heard this, i’m still watching it. this is absolutely beautiful!!!

[@Shotolol2003]

"This cover is Beautiful" in a Minor Key

[@Soren_Hayes]

Please do “can’t help falling in love” in minor key. I just heard a version someone else did and I feel like if you did it it would be amazing

[@princessncntrolg5220]

OMG goosebumps...As a wife of a Navy veteran, that hits home deeply! Thank you @ChaseHolfelder #ChaseHolfelder talent beyond measure

[@jessicacarron8117]

Holy hell. This sounds like the soundtrack that should play in the background of Handmaids Tail. Haunting

[@elizabethsmith7224]

Or The man in the High castle

[@JohnPaulWilliams7]

CHACE you rock thank you for making these patriotic songs in minor key! Think they are some of the most epic and dramatic song renditions you've done and these civil war songs in minor key have giving me HUGE inspiration for a full feature film screenplay I'm writing and DEFINITELY want this type of music for the whole movie.

[@KLGArmyLeader]

Just listened to your version of My Country Tis’ of Thee and I was thinking “I really hope he covered America the Beautiful!” I was not disappointed, terrific!

[@EpikChild]

This is so moving and I can't exactly explain how it makes me feel. But I find it both beautiful and horrifying, looking back at the history of the country, Thank you for making this. Amazing as always.

[@Black.Rose743]

Now this reflects the dark history of the USA. Love major to minor songs

[@SarahRavenclaw]

Black Rose 🙄🙄🙄

[@notoriousriot250]

And the ashes we rose out of, the hell we raised and went through in order to make sure this place existed

[@savant557]

“For great we stood, yet we have fell. The many states, gone. Split into a constant war. We didn’t want this we tried to stop it. But now. We must stay strong, the confederacy may be back, but we must unite and win once again! Do not let them take you down stand forever a beacon of hope. America is in need, and you can save us. Stand strong forever, for god we trust! For we will stand! Join us and save our god blessed country! Help us..... the world is in ruin.... we can unite it. One step at a time. We will stand! For god stands by Her! Our great country shall help all! For not shall we fall, we shall stand!”

[@deerockcheesevoxslactosein8916]

Always great singing from you, keep up the good work! ❤️

[@agronskyl]

“Put a spell on you” in a minor key would be so cool 😍

[@pandagardner4817]

I love his singing ! And how much emotion he has

[@beckyb.medina1043]

Felicitaciones!!! Eres un gran cantante. 👏👏👏👏

[@turquoisequill3646]

My favorites playlist is filled with his covers. Like, 💙💙💙 yes. I love his voice. You are an angel, Chase. A freaking godsent. 💙

[@Hhifix]

This song would sound Really Good in a movie set in a Collapsing America.

[@DeekJohnson]

This is absolutely awesome...that includes that awesome piano composition. Just awesome....and sad, dark and threatening. So appropriate for today. Why would you not do the entire song?

[@alexreid43]

I love your music!!! Your voice is amazing and you transform some of my favorite songs to be absolutely beautiful, love what you do. 😁

[@lynnnichole1621]

Your such a good singer in minor key my favorite is animal that's my number 1 favorite song by you

I love it! ❤️❤️ Youre voice is amazing!

[@techguypaul]

Amazing as always!

[@corvuscorone7735]

Thank you for that! Now I can watch it. Interestingly your face-swapped version has more feeling and compassion in its eyes than Trump's eyes have ever shown.

[@ItsLorenzow]

I’m pretty sure you are some sort of siren... that’s all I can say since your voice keeps bringing me back to these videos.

[@kyliedelaney9038]

Loooove your voice. Cannot get enough. 👏👏

[@JoachimKessel]

Brilliant, Chase. Happy Independence Day.

[@12Qwerty34]

Last time I was this early... Wait, this hasn't ever happened before.

[@grammar_police.9380]

AMAZING!!! Great job, i love it!!!❤

[@jessthehotmess5044]

This feels like something from like a dystopian movie or something. Love this so much

[@spottedkangaroo]

Here form @12tone's mention of the channel. This is brilliant.

[@amaya8994]

This is amazing!! So much emotion!💛💙

[@juanabellan8390]

Que simpatía trasmites y que sonrisa más bonita

[@nekofreekgirl]

I've missed this series can you bring it back it's gorgeous and brings twists to songs

[@Εδεν-λ2μ]

Beautiful, I shared your chanel with my classmates and friends, keep up with the wonderful work!! 😀

[@MamaBeeVt]

Thank you for this song. I finally found something that expresses how I am feeling right now. Perfectly bittersweet. Oh, and your phrasing is awesomeness! 😎

[@alissaariana4341]

Oh my god, your voice gave me chills❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mirajanelava4132]

I need a Can’t Help Falling in Love with You version along with a Hallelujah too

[@DragonsRuby]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@kelliwilloughby9224]

Talented as always!!!

[@angelrodrigues84]

Voz maravilhosa como sempre 😍

Perfeição:^)

[@miraculousaly-bug2411]

This is great! I really like your Minor Covers and I have some requests! It's a Small World (Disney) Nightmare (Set It Off)

[@remi9051]

Miraculous Aly-bug Nightmare would so amazing

[@danielmorgan1108]

2 videos so close to each other???? I LOVE MY LIFE!!

[@megamcpanda1355]

this is STUNNING

[@jamesp5993]

I discovered this channel yesterday and I've watched all of these Minor to Major videos, and I think I like every one more than the original, haha. It would be kind of cool to see a cover of The Trooper by Iron Maiden, since the song is basically about heading into battle knowing that you're not going to survive it. I think a more melancholy version of the song would be incredible.

[@Teach_To_Inspire]

I love your work! I enjoy hearing pieces of music arranged in different ways. This keeps my ears interested. Keep up the great artistry!

[@Yeetme369]

I get goosebumps Everytime I hear you sing.

[@abrilmedina7392]

Boy......what a voice oh my God

[@jamie_gil1790]

You're so fricken amazing at singing!!!

[@eminako2041]

Очень здорово получилось!!!)))

[@tonilharmon]

Made me cry.

[@thesacredbeast5928]

I already know I will be listening to this song on replay all morning. Great job 💗 🥺

[@savvytrout4782]

This is amazing thank you for the awsome songs 👌

[@haileysloan9671]

This is so awesome!!!

[@yuecreative7461]

A really Beautiful voice

[@michaelbruning5786]

Love your T-shirt!! Excellent voice.

[@venus9573]

Definitely gonna play this at my 4th of July party 😄🇺🇸

[@themysteriousx5434]

This is insane. Great Job!

[@missy1884]

I need a full version of this song!

[@ethenoodle1]

Perfect for July 4th :)

[@yoyo-ck6jb]

This fits the current situation so well....

[@vivalattena]

Bless this guy and his whole talent.

[@ladygrim412]

Ultimate feels. I love playing America the Beautiful on guitar in minor. I picture American soldiers at war... it is powerful and sad. I think of stories my grandfather told me from WWII. When I was a kid they were happy stories, when I was older, not so happy. My uncle will not talk about Vietnam. If you ask about it, he gets angry. It opens up your mind to what Americans have gone through for freedom, and what we are still going through. No more wars. Equality for all. The collective consciousness of America just wants peace.

[@its_madda6662]

Amazing :) this gave me chills thoughout the whole thing

[@toxic_gin]

You are one of my favorite youtube singers your voice is beautiful

[@GammaDeKuiper]

Amazing video! I always love the minor key series! It would mean a LOT to me and I'm sure a lot of others if you could try Through the Fire and Flames (TTFAF)

[@TimeandMonotony]

MUCH better. Your lovely voice not coming out of that horrible face! Happy Independence Day!

[@PjotrV1971]

agreed!

[@ruschkapocklington5770]

You know it came to me that Ain't No Mountain High Enough could be a fun one to do.

[@catherinerobbins3887]

Didn't even know I needed this...i so did.

[@darkgirls8021]

U have a unique voice 💙

[@MyndieK]

Whaaaat?!! Why is not longer? Can it be bought? Is it longer elsewhere? This was amazing. Gave me goosebumps!

[@lieutenantleaf]

Thank you!

[@taufikseverything]

I love this version 🔥🔥

[@Spacekitty666]

This version is freaking amazing 😍

[@TheCowardlyPaladin]

I'm glad to see your face as you sing, but I do wish you hadn't taken down the face-swapped version. It was so trippy to watch

[@londier4967]

I saw you for the first time and first thought you are Niall Horan haha. Great voice!

[@c721-p1c]

never been this early, don't know what to do with this power

[@dizzy.clouds_5486]

Did you know that RTL used one of your covers in the background? I was surprised (in a good way) that a popular channel would use it! It was in a "Soap" (I think?) That is called "Alles was zählt" (don't know if that's a thing in America but yea Amazing cover, I loved it!

[@zalantra4753]

This song hits a little different in 2021

[@CATALYSTdrummer]

Too short. Write another verse. Metal break down. Maximize the full potential. Do it. Become America.

[@xereeto]

There already are like five more verses lol

[@asperRader]

@@xereeto Well, then sing 'em!

[@APoliticalConfusionAndMess]

This is America... Dudu... Don't catch you slippin' up.

[@Grimace_Integ420]

Sarah Randall police be trippin up

[@APoliticalConfusionAndMess]

@@Grimace_Integ420 That's about all I remember...

[@Tsukiyori9]

Ty for this version :3

[@JohnPaulWilliams7]

Also Chace could you please please do amazing grace hymn in full, the way it's sang the words back when it was originally written in the 1700's? You're amazingly talented and God has gifted you with this wonderful creativity to sing songs in minor key

[@ronin_11b94]

That was so good!!!

[@chernandez2132]

Thanks!

[@IlIIlIIIIIlBrianSt0rm]

Minor Key Suggestions: Rule The World - Take That Scars - BoyEPIC Forevermore - Broken Iris Killed Someone - Alec Benjamin Once Upon A December - Anastasia

[@abbygracee]

SOOOO GOOOOD

[@Krissshereee]

Chase you gotta do Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley ❤️

[@zobernova5172]

Love it!

[@pingudude2409]

Happy Early Forth of July Chase

[@sir_southpaw5456]

damn, i got chills from this

[@bluebell6329]

Chase! I'm not sure if you'll ever see this, but if you do, please consider reading! For a future song (doesn't matter when, but I think it would be awesome if you did it) you should do Icarus by Bastille! I really liked the beginning of the song with the deep humming, it gives the song a misleading impression as it's more upbeat. I think hearing the song in minor key would be beautiful~

[@Blitz_Beast]

Outstanding

[@ytmndan]

This track bout to blow up.

[@Sleepyclaire96]

Damn this is pretty accurate to now! 😭
