"Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland in minor key

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

“Toto, we’re never leaving Kansas.”

[@lizlee8715]

This sounds like something out of a old Disney classical film.

[@D2RCR]

Or an alternate ending where people often say that Dorothy sings this song every night from the padded cell in the asylum Auntie Em sent her to.

[@drunkenmushroom6261]

@@D2RCR well, that thought is not going to go away for a while ;-;

[@x.xiahtic]

cinderella lmao

[@jonnda]

Because most of Disney’s best animated feature length films made during Walt’s life time, were made in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Wizard of Oz was released in 1939.

[@watcherrat]

@@D2RCR You should check out Return to Oz. ;)

[@johncorr7154]

Basically sounds like a song in a dark fantasy movie, like Nightmare before Christmas or something

[@talbrightmoon2625]

Right? hehe

Return to Oz

[@zetjet9901]

the “Why oh why can’t I” line sounds rlly sad now

[@MrNeosantana]

It was always sad, my dude. Especially when Judy Garland sang it live. It's always soul-crushing.

[@OkMakuTree]

The song that plays in the alternate ending to The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy wakes up to find that her home was destroyed by the tornado and her family is nowhere to be found.

[@kentawong9439]

That's deep

[@Jake-db5xi]

This is actually extremely depressing

[@shem269]

That should have been the actual ending

[@henryemrich7209]

Gonna be honest: Given how Judy Garland's life turned out (dead in a hotel room in London at 47, possible suicide) - this is probably an accurate representation of her internal state. Search up "Judy Garland Speaks" - audio recordings she created for an autobiography that never happened. She was very angry and sad.

[@singletona082]

Considering she was living on a diet of cigarettes for appetite suppression, broth, and abuse? 'Why... oh why can't I/' It. Just hits So much worse.

[@MTenebra]

Knowing what Judy had to go through during filming the wizard of oz, this tone fits.

[@mizuno1361]

it sounds like she desperately wants to go to the land over the rainbow to escape her depression

[@flanplan5903]

That isn’t too far off from the real life Judy if you read her biography.

[@gargoyle666]

Don't we all, mate.

Oh boy, if only you knew.

[@mizuno1361]

Please remind other faithful & righteous people for the end times is so close now. Kindly urgent people and suffer us of exhortation to warn everybody and get many people as we can to repent & follow the way of Jesus. For the darkness came not but to steal out in the name of false sense of security and fatal temptations like a thief in the night. WAKE UP ye sleeping lullabies! Everybody that heard me right now, if you already had chosen the path you want to go in this spiritual battle that we're in, please stay vigilant and never to lose faith, LOVE ONE ANOTHER and DON'T LEAVE our Brothers and Sisters alone! Leave NOBODY behind! Believers or Unbelievers it doesn't matter For our Father God so loved the WORLD that He gave us His Only Begotten Son so that our Soul can be redeem Worthy of Salvation from the sinful way of the life of Death. We gotta go now, REFRAIN EVERYTHING that is WORDLY in nature and those that are of IN FLESHLY LUST as for now PLEASE. Those cannot trade you with the gift of Repentance until the door of our probation is forever wide shut and The Grace of God shall no longer be around. NOW.

*Nowhere under the rainbow*

[@StormBurnX]

One of the rare times I audibly gasped and said "oh no" when seeing the video title... that said: the minor-key version of Hey Jude really hits different, as if that's how the song was meant to be... and this is no different. Absolutely love it. Pure brilliance.

[@YingwuUsagiri]

I don't know why but the way these chords flow into each other feel a lot more natural, as if they are more closely related to each other than the major original. Especially the way it lands on Over after Somewhere sounds a lot more intentional.

[@rovertyesmar]

Yes! It could be so cool!

[@Manas-co8wl]

"Why then oh why can't I" hits so differently..

[@IsomerMashups]

As a reminder: minor key doesn't mean sad or scary. This sounds more optimistic to me, especially at the "over the rainbow" part.

[@lickmyloafbruh]

It sounds hopeful but hopeless in some parts.

[@coldmateuscold]

I feel very optimist about suicide after listening to this one💙

[@YotamIshay]

Well, in this version the “over the rainbow” part is when it actually goes to the relative major…

[@claraelia882]

Wow, that's what I think too! Minor keys are majority (a big irony hahah) and it's good the fact they are common. The major ones in my opinion, sound scarier than minor ones.

[@MariahWong]

What everyone else heard: The Original. What Judy Garland heard: This version.

[@Gencoil]

From the alternate ending where Dorothy gets captured by the wicked witch and spends the rest of her days a prisoner in the castle dungeon, with just a tiny hole to look upon the sky.

[@Oecobius33]

Even with pitch shifting, Judy's voice and style are so great. I love how some of your edits help us to appreciate the singers' strengths by casting them in a different light!

This is like she knows she'll never really get there, but she still dreams of it. Either that or it's a person in an insane asylum thinking they are actually there. Yikes! Please do more major songs in November. I get that it's Halloween, but this is more depressing than creepy and dark-sounding!

Sunrise, sunset... one season following another, bringing us happiness - and tears...

[@cleyjen]

This is actually more fitting for this scene because it embodies her longing and the hopelessness of her situation.

[@Goosnav]

When you realize in the entire Wizard of Oz movie, Dorothy just had severe brain damage from a tornado and hallucinated the entire thing.

[@lady-hightower4698]

Imagine a version of Wizard of Oz where the song is featured exclusively in minor key. The overture? Minor key. The several times the leitmotif shows up? Minor key. Save for one. Dorothy wakes up in Kansas, but something is off. There's color. As the instrumental for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" plays in the background. At long last it's happy. The way Dorothy views her home has changed. She now sees the color, realizing that she's surrounded by the people she loves. And as the credits roll in a beautiful grand instrumental of "Somewhere" Dorothy realizes, There's no place like HOME...

[@Shay_Mendez]

The Rainbow is on fire

[@neonmajora8454]

[@tolkienfan4ever]

This is absolutely fabulous!

[@EpicVoiceShitposting]

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.. but here, it's all apocalypse.

[@jonnda]

When blue skies mean sad skies, and the dreams dared to dream were essentially nightmares. For example, George Orwell dreamed up an all seeing government in the book 1984. By 2020, China has made it a reality.

[@olddays6733]

The song that played when the dwarf hung themself in the background as they skipped down the yellow brick road unaware of what happened.

[@matthewwelch4305]

It still sounds like it's from an old musical, but now more like a slow 1920s song set in an opium den. Fanciful imagery to go with it.
