Negative Harmony Cover - My Way

[@natemantle5933]

This is basically a Paul McCartney/George Harrison tune now.

[@keilancolville8806]

NateMantle true, sounds like George song for sure

[@goblinthetargetpractice6049]

Seems alot more cold and distant than the original

[@BrendanVlogs4You]

McCartney/Lennon? That's the usual pairing. George is next up, then Ringo wrote like 1 or 2 aside from what Paul & John wrote for him.

He looks kinda sinister upside down for some reason, i think it has something to do with the shadows

[@dentistguba]

never trust a man who's hat stays on upside down.

[@threalharrydubois]

the human brain is wired to shadows showing down, not up, or rather light coming from above. Thats why you notice/think it looks odd!

[@jerrell1169]

Wadwizard ZOL Might be because eyes stay the same upside down, so it’s unsettling and uncomfortable

[@sanjaymatsuda4504]

It would look much more acceptable if the eyes were right side up. It's a psychological trick of some sort, I saw it on Curiosity Show.

[@BrB0424]

I mean, Sinatra was involved with the mob. Shady dude.

[@scottcookson8077]

It’s not just the music, the way you perform these “covers” is really nicely understated. Keep on putting them out there!

I've been listening to these tracks for the passed hour and now feel like I've slipped into an alternate reality

[@eggory]

Those chords are beautifully sad and they completely reverse the goodness of this song.

[@scratguy4510]

Elliott Smith's Way

[@deadcomplexion2806]

Scratguy literally

[@mitebee]

Sounds like a man who, late in life, has become disillusioned with what he previously considered to be his life accomplishments. He recognises he achieved what really matters, having 'done it his way', and is satisfied with his life, but can't quite shake that feeling of resent and meaninglessness.

[@DaRealChizzler]

That’s what the actual song is about

[@wastedkami9605]

@@DaRealChizzler lmfao

[@DavidTimmonsEsq]

@@DaRealChizzler Yeah, he HATED this one. Maybe this arrangement would've sat better with him, though he'd want to re-orchestrate it to make it his again.

[@SashaDaeith]

It's the same lyrics, but with those harmonics it comes across as so depressing and suicidal it made me cry a few times, it made me feel like I was twenty and cutting again. But it's so beautiful I still listen to this on repeat!

[@Polonarrr]

indeed friend

[@fullbodytransplant3582]

Sounds legitimately beautiful

[@nofanealbni]

Absolutely love the crescendo that begins around 1:50, chills man

[@marcoantoniotassecorcoles2682]

It is now a decrescendo lmao

[@SunshineCompanyLtd]

Could you do Simon & Garfunkel's sound of silence?

[@stevecruickshank5686]

Yep that's a huge suggestion! I like anything in a minor key because it'll end up major. It's on the list. These things take time but good things come to those who tom waits

[@pasha-ly4ss]

it's here now

[@cloudunknown]

They did it!

[@asushinfan]

if you're still taking song suggestions, "hey joe" by jimi hendrix would be interesting. the verse is built around a series of major plagal cadences, so i think the negative harmony version would give you a big v/v/v/v/i motion

[@stevecruickshank5686]

Yeeeeah... hey joe is circle-of-fifth motion! 'Clockwise' towards further sharpness if I recall. So upside-down would be counter-clockwise. It's a good call, I'll add it to the list!

[@africanchina1]

PLEASE DO IT!!! IT WOULD BE AMAZING!

[@kcorona7715]

qwert11 yes yes yes please please please

[@marywealth6475]

@@stevecruickshank5686 If I'm not mistaken, The Turtles' "Elenore" was conceived by reversing the "Happy Together" chords. A negative harmony of either song could possibly produce familiar-sounding results. And with The Beatles' "Because" having been inspired by Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" played backwards, you never know what a N.H. of "Because" might yield.

[@dentistguba]

Ending credits song.

[@cryogencrypts7484]

just prior, the villain shoots the main character as the screen cuts to black and then this starts playing

You deserve heaven

[@memyselfishness]

I really like your covers. I think it would be really cool if you did the regular cover and the negative cover. That way we can hear you playing both versions and really tell the difference.

[@goonyougoodthing]

It sounds like a dream theater ballad

[@mrbigkmurray]

Can you do Black Hole Sun?

[@stevecruickshank5686]

Yep really good call. Rip Cornell etc and that song is a grunge arpeggiated classic. It's on the list;)

For someone like me who doesn't know the original, this sounds pretty good

[@DavidTimmonsEsq]

The original had a gaudy tone that even Frank kind of hated.

[@coledewey3564]

It’s like if Mr. Perfect Cell was fond of the blues. 10/10

[@dentonpergolas9107]

Bowie did this many years ago and called it "Life On Mars"

Now it sounds like the last words of a man who lived a great life and is now dying from kidney cancer, slowly fading

[@goblinthetargetpractice6049]

More like a man who lived a life that he dosn't feel satisfied with, and now is dying of kidney cancer

[@nejmsornejm2973]

The man realises that he had wasted his life, now he has good 10 to 20 years to live, but thinks he's too old to change anything and is depressed

[@JordanBMR]

It’s very rare that a song will make me get up, get my guitar and learn it.... this is one of those songs.

[@SeahorseTrash]

[@henrydragonsbane4260]

This is a cool concept. What do you mean by "negative harmony?" Reverse melody with chords changed somehow?

[@stevecruickshank5686]

Everything upside down! Sheet music, melody, chord construction. It's the negative harmony concept taken to an unhealthy extreme

[@jrobinsondrums]

The idea is you take all the notes of each chord and flip it over whatever note the song is in the key of. You'll get a bunch of chords that are completely different, but are the same distance away from the key center, just on the other side. Kinda like negative numbers

[@inmyroom3485]
