Heard on Dancing With The Stars, Season 25!
As part of my ongoing series in which I take songs in a major (happy) key and transpose them to a minor (sad) key, here is my interpretation of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police.

Chase Holfelder Wow! Never has being stalked sounded so fucking sexy. Liked & subscribed, you're awesome. Thank you for this. =)
....Damn I just found your minor key videos. Original, unique and an good voice. Subscribed.
Chase Holfelder .
we are playing a cover this version written by my band director for marching band
Chase Holfelder Is this also on Spotify?
Fully captures the true creepiness of the lyrics. This is so well done
Thanks!
absolutely

Anon E. Mousse I can already see this in my imagination. It would be epic! I think 1984 might be soon getting ripe for a Netflix series adaptation. And if they do it, this song should be in the trailer and the pilot episode at the minimum.
i just feel like darkiplier is watching me when i listen to this...*shiver*
i still think it's hysterical this is one of the top songs played at weddings. we should switch to this version instead, and maybe then they'll realize what the lyrics are all about.
+TeenDream888 I would literally have this play at my wedding. It's genius. I actually like the song a whole lot more with this creepy, stalkery vibe to it.
Junesong x it's a great message i suppose-obey and love only me and we'll be happy; make me angry and you die. it's honest, up front, and gets right to the point. your partner will never have to worry about hidden agendas or secrets.
***** Hahah why, thank you for making me sound like a serial killer :D I just have a very morbid fascination for anything and everything creepy, I reckon.
Junesong x my friend had a Halloween wedding. her bridesmaids wore dresses of a deep purple, and the flowers were dark red roses with white lacy ladies as accents. the bride's dress was mostly white with a black sash and lace hair accent. it also had lace sleeves and lace accents on the corset and train. there was almost Adams family decor, black lace tablecloths, candles/candelabras , red splashes for accent colors. just a Victorian/haunted mansion and very elegant wedding. lots of people were expecting a campy theme, but it was done so beautifully. i thought of you. Morticia Adams is also one of my main role models.
***** That sounds completely and utterly gorgeous! It's only cheesy if it's badly executed, just like anything else. You can't just splash on some white makeup and throw fake blood on your wedding dress. Your friend sounds like my kind of gal!
No one:
The Spider on my wall:
LMAO
SHADHSDAHDSADSA
There are always spiders in my bathroom.
I played this to my girlfriend over the phone. She does this cute reaction where she screams to stop calling her or she’ll call the police haha she’s so funny
lmao
Woooooooowwww 😂😂😂
Hahahahahaa
🤔😬
Took me a moment to catch on but this is hilarious. Lmao
Now the sound matches the lyrics! I love it!
Seriously! The song was already creepy as it is!
ikr
Creepy but beautiful.
This belongs in the trailer to a movie about an obsessive sociopath who can only feel love when he physically harms someone, and is in love with an NSA agent who has the ability to watch anyone, at any time. In his quest to get through to her, he must go completely off-grid and 'watch' her using some 'old-fashioned' and disturbing techniques, leaving his victim to question: What do you do when even the world's most powerful surveillance network can't make you feel safe?
Genius! i love it!
+Corvus Cool idea. I'd also like a movie about an posessed stalker (and sociopath) portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal who's creepinng on a woman, maybe slightly older than him (Cate Blanchet? OK, I just love her, but still like the idea). The trailer would be full of dramatic screams, running, an accident and stuff like that. Yeah, I gotta go now and write a script. See you in Beverly Hills.
You are genius. *bows down*
Make this movie now
Someone Kickstart this, pull your Hollywood contacts, anything!
He looks like he’s enjoying himself
Its prerecorded
...Wait, "Every breath you take" was originally in a major key?
If they sang it like this in the first place, nobody would me mistaking this for a love song. This sounds like the stalker song it was always supposed to be.
In the head of the stalker this is a love song. I think that's the point.
Didn't every teenager brand the original as a stalker song? Lmao
@@christinem1458 cause it is a stalker song
@@christinem1458 No, most people called it a love song back when it was released.
Right? We have the same problem with "les mots bleus" in French. Definetely *not* love
The original was supposed to be a stalker song, but somewhere along the way people turned it into a love song. Your rendition brought back the full stalker vibe with all the sensation of causing the listener to look over their shoulder. I... Love... It.
Of course, it's understandable why you credited The Police. The original is theirs after all. What you did here, man... This all you. THIS SONG belongs to you all the way to the bank!
GKOALA7 KILLINGSTALKING
Yeah I remember an interview with Sting where he says that he is surprised with people who say that the song is their favorite and they dance it at their wedding. His response was simple, "Good Luck."
great render love from RQ
@@Sirynx77 Hahahaha....some people just don't really LISTEN to lyrics.
There’s a series on Netflix called “You” that’s about stalker, stalking his crush
You know, I've always thought this song was kinda creepy. You've really managed to transform this song from an upbeat love song into a scary, metal-esque song about a stalker.
igloosndstuff
Ba hahahaha, +1 internet for actually looking something up XD Don't know why I never think to just google something
+Lee Coffill hells yes as it should be you know it :-)
+igloosndstuff I knew it was a stalker song as soon as it came out, I kept thinking of a certain girl.
+Vlae Kershner uh-oh, stalker alert
+Lee Coffill Ha yeah dude this song was never an upbeat love song to start with, but I know what you mean. The same thing he did for this he did for Les Mis, transformed an already downbeat dramatic track into an altogether more intensified version of itself.
If Evanescence had written "Every Breath You Take," it would sound like this.
Love it!
Charlotte Andrews Art ughh yesss!! their songs always give me relaxing yet melancholic and eerie vibes, and I love it
Nail on the head with that one
I was just about to write that this is so evanesenesce!
That's it! All his stuff sounds like evanescence.
Part II of Snow White Queen
2:10 that drumstick living it's best life hahah
Indeed it is
This is how song truly is.... it’s about a stalker. The original song is so peppy it makes it sound like it’s about someone fondly remembering their loved one from heaven. Nope.
TBF, that's the whole point of so many Police songs. They're weird and creepy lyric wise but they dress it up in reggae rock prettiness to create dissonance. This version just goes all in on creep.
and that's beautiful
I think the original is great beacuse it is the stalker talking, so he doesn't see himself as such, he only sees a loving man caring for his loved one by not letting her out of his sight
That's the whole point.
@@luizalves8071 that's smart, I think you're right
I love how all of your minor songs end up in one fandom or another I keep hearing them in Amvs and I'm just like wait I recognize this voice
Yep 😂 The first time I heard this single was when it was in a Reylo video and I've been scouring RUclips for the original every since
Sarah Robertson Same here!:Ddd Reylo foreverrrr
The intensity this man can reach with his voice is impressive
This should have been the theme for “You”
See, now THIS is an appropriate version. The words are WAY too stalker-y for the original version. Good job, good sir!! :D
That is the point of the original version. It sounds like a love song, but is about a stalker (or spurned lover). This version is just too in your face. It's the ambiguity of the Police version that makes it so great.
Cosma Papouis I guess you have a point. I never thought of it that way, tbh. You make a good point :)
I completely agree
It's not about a stalker, it's about the lead singer's wife and his daughter.
Yap
this is scary
BOO!
lmao martmane that face is perfect for that comment
too Spoopy for me
Yeah the song takes on a very different tone like this.
I'm
5 years later, and this still gives me the worst goosebumps ever. I love your work man, this song should go down in history.
9 years later, i’m still here. I agree with you
Song starts:
*Jams out*
1:03 :
*has slenderman flash backs*
1:04 :
*continues jamming*
That's a lot creepier than original and it's so much better melody for this song... i'm obsessed by this version!💜
Hey Caroline im gonna make a vid that fits the song gengre, like you said creepy, stay tuned
Saaaame
No way is it a better melody
omg same 😍🔥🔥🔥😍
The original should be just as creepy for anyone who listens to it. All he did is switched the major keys to minor and vice versa. Now the arrangement is what sells it.
At least now the music matches the lyrics. I always felt this song was needlessly stalkerish and creepy and now, thanks to you, the music actually fits. Excellent remake. One of my favorites for sure!
It's supposed to be stalkerish. It was *intended* to be a song about a stalker. The American public are the ones who misinterpreted it as a "love" song.
robokill387
..... 8( Dammit 'Murica!
+robokill387 I don't think many people think this is "love", even the 50 shades lovers know this is not normal.
Carrie Mays no, seriously, loads of people use it as a love song.
+robokill387 people be crazy.
You know, I think you just cracked the secret recipe to every scary song ever.......... The more minor (characters?) notes introduced that are able to take over the lead, the thicker the tension of the (story! ) song. Well done, I love it!!!
This song in minor makes it much more creepy than it does in major.
No wonder why they used your version on DWTS when Frankie Muniz did his Comtemporary Halloween dance; he scored all perfect 10s.
I know right? That's actually what got me to sub to Chase when I watched that!
P.s. I miss Tom and Eren as hosts, Tyra is terrible
Damn, that first "I'll be watching you" was creepy.
Pederson Jason jdfwjf
now THAT'S a cover, man that voice
2:10
Oh gosh, that scream...
1:56 I can't unhear 'show must go in' by queen in the background...
Oh my god that’s so weird, but I hear it too.
personally I could hear your voice in Tim Burton animation movie.
+SluttMonkeys Agreed there's also a few Tim Burton styled games out there that would benefit from this music
Hell yes! !!!
oh my!!! I just imagined it!! you're a genius hahaha
100% agree! Very Tim Burton-ish.
This is horrifyingly tremendous.
Tomi Tapio K Darn beat me to it.
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play)
I'll be watching you
(Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day
Every word you say) Ooh
(Every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you
Nonpdy needed this, but good fish for likes🤙
Original song: Not that creepy
This cover: *HIDE*
God damn I wish I could like this video more than once.
create multiple accounts
Create a clone (but hide it, it's illegal)
FurbaliciousFurbyGirl create multiple accounts. Boom Multiple Likes
For a sec I though you said you wished you could watch it more than once. I was like Uuuuh you can :>
This covers the message of the song much better than the original. This song is about a stalker.
Its about a totalitarian government kinda deal, like in the novel 1984.
Crowloq Actually, it's about a man in love with a hooker... >_>;;
***** Fair enough! I stand corrected! :D
SnowOnABrightDay CASE CLOSED
SnowOnABrightDay I think you mean "Roxanne."
I like your cover version better than the original. That rarely happens to me. You did a great job. 👍👍👍
After hearing minor version I can't remember the original one. 😂😂
A. LOT. FUCKING. CREEPIER
But it loses the dissonance between the happy melody and the creepy lyrics. Anyone who's played Doki Doki Literature Club will understand this.
Every time someone mentions Killing Stalking or a yandere/Yandere simulator take a shot.
MinYoongi'sSwagAndJimin'sSmolHands shot of what?
MinYoongi'sSwagAndJimin'sSmolHands no thanks i dont wanna die yet
an ARMY!! I saw this song used for an BTS Outcast fmv trailer! such an incredible cover
Already ahead of you fam
@NestNectar Channel
Shot of 9mm
Also ouch oof owie my liver, this drinking game is not good, dudr
This version is so powerful, and so much more of the original intention of the song. It makes me think of "Sleeping With The Enemy" or the show "You". I hope it gets used in a movie at some point.
I am crying, that is absolutely insane. My whole body is shaking right know.
PLEASE DO KILLING ME SOFTLY MINOR VERSION
Dcdean Hmln I was thinking that song also
YES, DO IT
yes..
Killing me softly is already in a minor key, maybe he could try to cover it? I think his version would sound cool if he did :)
yeaah killing stalking
I thought this song was creepy before but damn
After all these years, I still love the way you did this Chase...Amazing !
I think you sound amazing and did an amazing rendition of this song. In the original the dude thinks what he's doing is totally fine and natural when it's actually really disturbing. Yours sounds like someone who knows exactly what he's doing and has embraced that it is in fact an evil. It's the sociopath vs the psychopath. Someone who knows they are crazy vs someone who thinks everybody else is crazy.
This song makes more sense in a minor key... Brings out the stalkerness of it!! Ha!
Yes it does
Mhm
This version really fits the lyrics. I find it "truer" than the original - but that version is a lot more creepy...
I think both version are creepy but i have to confess i prefer this creepy version more lol
I can absolutely see this being used in a suspensful, slowmo moment in a show or movie
2:10 Awesome drumstick flip xD
Dude!!!!! Congrats on your cover being on Dancing With The Stars!!!!!!! Frankie Munez and Whitney did an amazing job with their contemporary dance to this! I watched it last night and am absolutely obsessed with this now
Yeah, the show used this without his permission. So....
Everyone talking about how they came from different fandoms and then there's me....
Editing Is Everything brought me here
Same
Maymay Addison me too lol
Yup
ME
Too many edits about hot psychos 😂
(Yh there’s something wrong with me😶😂 )
Same
There is so much feel to it, that imbues more passion for the lyrics that other versions don't accomplish. What an amazing work!
it's been soon 6 years. this is still my favorite thing EVER.
Hey, I just listened to this today, nice to find such a recent comment!
Every breath you take.
Every move you make.
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you.
Oh cant you see. you belong to me.
How my poor heart aches. With every step you take. Every move you make.
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake every claim you stake. Ill be watching you.
Every breath you take.
Every move you make
Every bond you break. Every step you take. ill be watching you. Every bond you break. Every step you take. Ill be watching you...
Yes, yes, I too, can hear the lyrics
Erik V same here tho😂😂😂
now read this as if your a police officer and it is a song about a stakeout
Akuma Tonayama thank you i needed this right now
Thank I was finding the lyrics
This song is already creepy. This is definitely stalker / murderer material!!! Good job hahaha.
+David Love Serial Killers national anthem?
I'm obsessively in love with this version and his voice!!! 😍❤️
Same!
"Obsessively". Funny choice of words given the subject of the song.
When the restraining order is just a piece of paper.
Ain’t no piece of paper with some words on it gonna stop a deranged stalker😂
Now this truly sounds like a stalker song. That's what the original is about too. Sting says he wrote it for his ex-wife when he divorced her. It's pretty creepy if you think about it (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
I thought the original was about a ghost :).
omg gonna be addicted listening to this😍😍😍
i see ma boy:))
PrkJimix army😝💞💞
Irene Natasya I have been for a couple of months now 😊
Irene Natasya
*SAME*
Thank you, RUclips Recommendations for blessing my ears with this masterpiece.
Every Chase Holfelder cover better than the original song. omg
love it sound so evil XD
ShadowRaven Exactly! I even have a music video for it pictured in my head lol. I absolutely love this! ❤️
ShowNoMercy you like evil
This should've been the theme song for 007 Spectre.
THIS SONG WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT
Also one of the lyrics is "every Bond you break" which could double as a cheeky pun ;)
This gets better every time I listen to it. LOVE. IT. You 100% nailed the vibe that this song just screams for.
I am sure that I have listened to this over a million times and I love it! This version honestly makes me think of a short story or movie to create on top of all of your other major to minor songs. Seriously, you are an inspiration, thank you! I'd love to use one of your versions of your songs some time, seriously awesome!
"I'll be watching you..."
You Belong To me.........
R.A. R. How my poor heart aches 💔...
The style of this sounds like it could have been part of Moulin Rouge.
Oh completely!! Wow - it would fit so well!
it would blend perfectly with the show must go on....
omg I thought that as well haha as soon as I heard it.
wow you're right!
The show must go on! The beginning is nearly identical lol, but I like it
Absolutely eerily beautiful rework. Love it!
OMG, it is impressive, there is a perfect harmony between sound and voice. 10/10
This version is creepy. Seriously, it is.
The normal one is happy creepy, this one is honest :P
+Bastien Merindol (YesteR) Yes, it's like Satan is singing the song!
+Seth LMAO!
+Mellina Lathe I was being serious. This version actually made me cry. Satan actually taunted me.
The original song IS creepy.
Normal song: *sounds like a happy dad that loves you*
This song recovered: *sounds like your being stalked by a killer that will make you his*
Does anybody else feel that way or is it just me
You're not alone :).
Me to
the normal song was actually about his ex so it was a stalker song. lol and we sang this at one of my churches for some reason lol.
Flora Derner I’m curious how your church interpret this into a Christian view-point.
Connor Sky i have no idea. maybe because god is always with us. I just vividly remember the first time i heard this song was in a church
I still constantly come back to this cover. Pure gold.
This sounds the song version of a villian saying "You can run but you can't hide."
Can you imagine a minor Let It Go from Frozen, that could be so dark
Dude, yes. EVERYONE MAKE HIM DO THAT
yes! So much yes!
Just wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS for being featured on Dancing With the Stars!!! As soon as the music started for Fankie and Whitney's number, I was like "CHASE HOLFELDER!!!!!" Still such an awesome take on a classic song.
I love how DWTS didn’t ask or give credit.
Love this song. And you some how made it more intense, haunting, and beautiful. Well done. Always a fan of your work! 💕
1:54
I had a heart attack
honey bee Are you okay?
😂😂😂
They need to just sign you to a contract to produce Bond Themes.
This is possibly in the top 3 of the greatest things I've ever heard.
+exiledPostman Word!
+exiledPostman same here bro, same here
Woah! The original by the Police is my favourite song ever. This song is THE best cover I have ever heard and brings the song to a whole new level. Love it!
Hearing this in a minor key really makes you listen to the lyrics and realise how sinister they were to begin with.
I feel like this version really brings out the actual meaning of the song.
+TheFeiksu Such a creepy song, eh?
+Chase Holfelder Yea I suppose. I love it anyway. Keep up the good work.
this should be the theme to a really dark Santa movie
Yes. yes it should.
or a sandman movie I guess
Sure. Why not. Someone make a creepy Santa movie with this as the theme. Look out, kiddos, Santa is always watching. 😁🤤😓😨
How about Krampus???
Omg, this should be on the soundtrack of the Netflix show "You"!!
My mind just exploded :O I've always loved this song and I have never heard a cover as stunning and power as this - I have chills! WOW!
I told my awesome waiter at Sushi Station, who's name is also Chase, about this video in particular! I really hope he came to check it out! So, Sushi Station dude! If you see this comment, I'm the chick with the blue hair who told you to check this guy out! I hope you like him!! :)
+Waterflame thanks for sharing it with him! Hope he comes looking for it. Hi sushi dude!
The original is more twisted because it's in a happy tune. Psycho.
This, however, brings the scares.
key true
This is the perfect theme song to the Netflix series YOU
This is the most brilliant arrangement of this song that has ever existed. How the marketing director didn’t use this for the promo of the final season of Bates Motel is beyond me. You are a star!
oh man. you gave this song such a twisted, dark feel. I absolutely love it! fantastic job!
Would love to hear your version of “the show must go on” by Queen
Michele Hutton the drop made u feel like that right? Absolutely.
Michele Hutton but it’s already in minor? Or do you just mean a cover
this has got to be the best cover... ive been looking for this for so long...
I can see this being played for a pair of dancers doing a super intense tango dance that might almost appear abusive and dominating. Sir I can’t get enough of your major to minor songs! They get me so inspired to draw or even try to animate (I have never done an animation but would love to try) just for the songs you do!! Oh dear the goosebumps are up the arms and on the jaws. All of the loves and dwell wishes to you and yours good sir
I saw an edit from btsoutcast and oh my god my ears have been blessed, I cried, this cover is so so amazing in all aspects
Same
Yaaasss. I'm so glad people are coming to find him!! His minor key covers are amazingly chilly!!
I'm shaking by his voice tbh I'm listening to it again.
Is him alone or there are more?
YAAAASSSSS ME TOOOOOO
Same
I heard this on Dancing With The Stars and immediately recognized it. So excited for you, congrats!!!!!!!
Need full song like this. It's AMAZING!
oh my gosh. A friend of mine linked me to your page, and I had no idea who you were until I heard this. I found this version of this song on Spotify a long time ago, and it's my favorite version of this song. I'm so glad I can subscribe to you!
*_Chase, can you please make karaoke version of this cover? It is so beautiful and I really want to sing it :c_*
*10 months later still no answer*
*months**
Brock Savage shit
This should be the Criminal Minds themesong lol
Ayyyyy
I've been binge watching your channel and just saw this one and it's haunting. Absolutely incredible!!!!!!!! Words do not do it justice.
