Chilling. My husband and I are Civil War reenactors and I was not aware of this song or even the trend of rewriting popular songs to reflect an Abolitionist bent. Thanks for the music and the history lesson!
OK I feel less bad about not knowing the roots of this song. Freaking chilling and haunting. Also, i'm glad reenactors keep things going. We must NEVER be allowed to forget or to smooth over the warts of the past.
This is actually the first time I've heard this song with these lyrics and I now I can't imagine these lyrics in a major key. This was haunting. Great job. I'm a new subscriber. I love all of your conversions that I've heard so far.
+mattbellamymate Yeah. This song sounds like it would have been a song they all sung against President Snow. Panem is an apocalyptic version of America, after all. c:
My friend, this is a ballsy move, after everything in the headlines. And I appreciate this so much. What a gorgeous job on yet another historical song. ;)
***** Yeah, nice addition. I also like the percussion accents as punctuation at the beginning/end of each verse. Seriously, this is EPIC! p.s. Thanks for the tip about listening on headphones. It is even better. p.p.s. And please don't take this as criticism in any way but did you consider perhaps a simple martial rhythm or accents played on a snare drum over last four-part verse - to underling the increasing complexity of the vocal part?
My teacher used your video for the minor key version of the star spangled banner for our class notes. it brought me here and i've now subscribed to you. your voice is so amazing and it's interesting to hear these songs in minor when normally hearing them in major. i've also never heard these lyrics to "my country tis of thee". this is awesome.
CHASE you'll probably never see this, but god damn your voice is like a type of frightening and chilling beauty. Just pure perfection. Your tone and tamber is exactly what i was looking for tonight. Listening to your singing is like having a a terrible itch then scratching it really really well
You should do covers of Irish rebel songs. Most of them were disguised as love songs, but the love they were singing to was a love for freedom from tyranny and oppression. They would perfectly fit your style, and I'd love to hear your voice singing "My Lagan Love". :)
This is so great and dark and creepy, I love it. It's like something that belongs on an post-apocalyptic soundtrack. Like, America was destroyed or taken prisoner... I wanna see this speculative movie now.
And in his voice the song becomes an accusation. Getting excited over how artistically excellent this is almost seems disrespectful to what he just said.
@@Kibaoftheleaves - How is his voice an accusation? I asked Johanna A. Florez as well. "His voice" is accusing in which/what way exactly? I think he has a popular vocal style and marketable voice.
I have zero idea what is going on but I don't want to feel like a dumbass. So I'm going to repeat what everyone is saying...uhhh Y-ya what do you mean by that!...was that good?
@@seadawgg65 I don't think they mean him himself! I think they mean the message behind the song, which sounds an accusation to America for all of the slavery at that time, which is what the song was supposed to do when it was rewritten :)
Dude. I LOVE that you did this version. I've seen the lyrics before, but hearing it sung (so well) in a minor key was so incredibly moving. It really helped me feel what the abolitionists might have felt at that time. Thank you.
I'm doing a lesson on movies and one section is how soundtrack is used to create tone... Do you mind if I show this to my class? I think it would be perfect to show how music changes tone! This is stunningly amazing!
Yo, man. As a veteran, civil war nerd, and music enthusiast, this is the perfect rewrite to any song I've ever heard redone. Kudos to you. I've gone through and listened to your entire Major to Minor project, and I have to say I really am very impressed. Keep on keepin' on, brother, I look forward to what you'll bring us in the future! Your talents are clear.
I'm just happening upon this video on July 6, 2020 after listening to your Start Spangled Banner Minor Key (2020) video. It's interesting how this video from 5 years ago is so fitting for this moment right now. It's also interesting what you learn when you dig into history for yourself. I didn't know about abolitionist music. Thanks for making this music... love your harmonies, by the way. Gives me a real Gregorian Chant/Organum vibes! (I'm a musician too!!)
I love the versus. Never even knew their were different versions of this song, or many other older classics. Thanks for doing all these other major to minor songs. ......your one of the best vocalists I've heard in a long time. You've got a very moving voice. MORE. MORE. MORE is all I can say
Chase, I gotta tell you, you are amazing! I'm a 46-year old guy, and the first song of yours that got me was 'Right Here Waiting'. I liked Richard Marx, and that song, in high school, so I figured that I'd listen to your rendition. And it blew me away! So I subscribed to your channel, and I'm amazed by every new video that you do. This one is simply haunting! Keep it up!
+Chase Holfelder Why not try "England's Song"? It really is a dark and sad song. It's about a man who is fighting for his beloved child and is willing to sacrifice.
I heard this in a game mod that depicted the fall of the United States at the conclusion of the Cold War. It is terrifying, and this magnified it. Good job.
It gives a dark feeling, which is to be expected by the minor key, but your voice just adds an extra tinge of darkness through your great talent. Keep up the amazing work!!
That's it! I am officially asking for your album for Christmas! I already sent this video to two history professors and posted it on my Department page on Facebook. As a history major who is doing a project on slavery, this is a really great find! I love how you did this arrangement and this will certainly be my favorite song for a long time.
+femaleforester And also "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" and "Moltiva Ruskihk". The anthem of Imperial Germany and Imperial Russia, respectively. Funny how many belligerents in World War I went to war singing the same tune.
I was expecting a lot more political comments on this video.... Regardless, excellent rendition. Major to Minor is a fantastic project and I hope you continue it.
Chase, I could only describe you as an advanced musical genius! Your ability to transpose music from major to minor key into somewhat haunting versions yet incredibly beautiful works of art partly attests to that. Your amazing vocal range, perfect tone and beautiful self harmony are all qualities that many vocalists strive to achieve. You are absolutely amazing, Chase! Thank you and your family for sharing your incredible talents with us!
Discovering your channel has probably been the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are so awesome. So looking forward to all the new songs you are doing!
This is just stunning. The words are so powerful and now I question why we do not sing it every day to reflect on its words. Your version of this song is absolutely outstanding. I feel as if this version of this song makes it complete and the words more haunting, which they should be with the message it has. Thank you for sharing and I hope your voice echoes throughout all of North America someday.
I have never seen another singer give me goosebumps with the simple intro into a song. My heart felt like it was breaking in two, and j think you are an extremely talented man. Keep doing what you're doing!
OMG, your VOICE!!!!!! It's lovely. Great job, I don't have any idea why you're not blowing up right now. I told everyone about how incredible your voice is.
WOW WOW WOW -Chase, did you know that you are an auditory gift on all mankind? It's like you floated in from another dimension or something. A really dark and somber dimension, but a bad ass one none the less. Keep doing what you do man.
This is gorgeous and I learned something new today! I didn't know the trend to rewrite popular songs was such a big thing at the time, and with all the things happening in the southern states, this was a brilliant choice. Love it, love the lyrics, love you singing them, love the minor key, all of it.
blackcatkuroi I think it'd been a trend for some time, though I wasn't aware of the abolitionist slant to it. The Star Spangled Banner is sung to a tune popular in Key's time that originated as an English drinking song. Look up Anacreon in Heaven if you're not familiar!
Thanks! I know people have been changing lyrics to songs for ages, longer than there have probably been written records of songs, but I didn't know they used them to further political and social movements at the time. It's nice to learn! And I'll go look it up! Awesome!
Oh my. Wow, that's amazing. The major-to-minor effect that you're so famous for really does make this sound haunting. And the lyrics of the old song really make this one awesome piece. Love it.
Hey Chase, I normally don't comment on videos, but I just felt so swayed to let you know this. While I was listening I was getting goosebumps, the way you sing has such a passion behind it, I hope you go as far as you can see in the music world because you deserve every bit of it.
You're really good at creating such ambiancs around the songs you cover. And I already said it and I'm going to say it : the concept of major to minor is excellent. Thanks !
I've been looking for this since a group at a local dance show did a dance to it about a month ago - fell in love with the sound you created! Everything on the internet said it was to the tune of my own national anthem and I knew it wasn't quite the same - now I know why!
I've been listening to this cover for years, and I keep going back and binge-listening again 4-5 times in a row(or more)! I just can't get over those harmonies, man - they're EPIC. I just watched another video that gave you some play where this was the music for an Assassin's Creed III trailer. I thought it was well done.
Got to hear a fantastic version of this song AND learn something new that I may or may not have forgotten from school ;) Seriously, that was great and I'm glad you went with the other lyrics.
Please! Please! Please! Do another major to minor version of the Star Spangled Banner with all 4 verses (or also with the 5th verse from the civil war).
I love your Major to Minor videos. It's so cool how it can change like that. I listened to the original and this version sounds how this song should sound! You're EPIC!!!
Wow..😢😊 this is indescribable how grateful I am to hear someone already made a song rendition like this... Your rendition is like an answered prayer for continuing my work on this screenwriting I'm doing for a story that will involve the civil war and slavery.. Thank you so much for making this..❤️
YES! More harmonies! I love when you do more complex harmonies and voice parts. I would love to see how your voice would suit a minor jazz piece. Please do one!
I love the look in his face. You can tell he is being so careful and confident in his voice. The way his mouth curves and his lips curl. He is enjoying it. His soul is happy. He has such an amazing voice.
Dude, I fucking love how menacing you can be while seeming so sad with the accompanying driving desperation. Shit, it's so god damn good. I'm going to your patreon tonight.
I can see this being the trailer song for a movie/historical game/etc. Just the right balance of strength combined with a sense of foreboding. Love it!
So, this is really good on many levels. Timely too. Thank you. I could flippantly say "You're awesome that's amazing." ... but really that was great. Not casually saying that. We need this part of our cultural heritage now. Thank you.
Chilling. My husband and I are Civil War reenactors and I was not aware of this song or even the trend of rewriting popular songs to reflect an Abolitionist bent. Thanks for the music and the history lesson!
"Chilling" - exactly what I was going to say.
And now you know why blacks don't do Civil War reenactments.
OK I feel less bad about not knowing the roots of this song.
Freaking chilling and haunting.
Also, i'm glad reenactors keep things going. We must NEVER be allowed to forget or to smooth over the warts of the past.
This is actually the first time I've heard this song with these lyrics and I now I can't imagine these lyrics in a major key. This was haunting. Great job. I'm a new subscriber. I love all of your conversions that I've heard so far.
Jacob With the lyrics, minor is more appropriate.
@@classicalhero7 Agreed🙃
I know it must sound weird, but man you should do music for movies... This one could easily be included on any movie
Walter Morán I know Hunger Games is unpopular with many, but it reminded me of that for some reason.
+mattbellamymate Yeah. This song sounds like it would have been a song they all sung against President Snow. Panem is an apocalyptic version of America, after all. c:
Walter Morán I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
i completely agree
Just tried this out. Sync up the song with the intro for The Man in the High Castle... would have made an even better intro :) vimeo.com/173250809
My friend, this is a ballsy move, after everything in the headlines. And I appreciate this so much. What a gorgeous job on yet another historical song. ;)
I love the constant drone-like pedal tone! Simple but yet incredibly effective.
*****
Yeah, nice addition. I also like the percussion accents as punctuation at the beginning/end of each verse.
Seriously, this is EPIC!
p.s. Thanks for the tip about listening on headphones. It is even better.
p.p.s. And please don't take this as criticism in any way but did you consider perhaps a simple martial rhythm or accents played on a snare drum over last four-part verse - to underling the increasing complexity of the vocal part?

Chase Holfelder omg you... actually saw my comment. :') Have a good day
yes chase is a cool guy
Chase Holfelder you are an amazing and beautiful singer. Like your voice you are beautiful too
Thank you for not only the transposition, but for sharing these lyrics as well. Devastatingly beautiful.
You should do covers of Irish rebel songs. Most of them were disguised as love songs, but the love they were singing to was a love for freedom from tyranny and oppression. They would perfectly fit your style, and I'd love to hear your voice singing "My Lagan Love". :)
Please do ireland suffered for years like america with england trying to take over the world
my god. i almost cried. and the relevance it has in 2020. fucking hell
five years later, and i still come back to this video every independence day.
Just wow. Hadn't heard this historical version before. Compelling and quite educational.
I believe that those who toiled under the yoke of slavery would be proud of this. Truly a tribute to their struggles.
Oh god, yes. Wouldn't it be neat to go back in time and show it to them? And also the Abolitionists who wrote the words.
Especially the thousands of union soldiers who fought for it too
This is so great and dark and creepy, I love it. It's like something that belongs on an post-apocalyptic soundtrack. Like, America was destroyed or taken prisoner... I wanna see this speculative movie now.
I feel a purge vibe from it, but if the original lyrics were used
I'm afraid we don't have to see a movie now, as this is and will be happening all around us if things keep going as they are.
And in his voice the song becomes an accusation.
Getting excited over how artistically excellent this is almost seems disrespectful to what he just said.
It's definitely an accusation today.
@Johanna A. Florez
- How is "his voice" an accusation? I think he has a popular sounding and marketable voice.
@@Kibaoftheleaves - How is his voice an accusation? I asked Johanna A. Florez as well. "His voice" is accusing in which/what way exactly? I think he has a popular vocal style and marketable voice.

By far my favorite Major to Minor song, mostly because of the alternate lyrics

I liked Richard Marx, and that song, in high school, so I figured that I'd listen to your rendition. And it blew me away!

Keep it up!
You should try to do "will the circle be unbroken" think that would be a good one
+Chase Holfelder
Why not try "England's Song"? It really is a dark and sad song.
It's about a man who is fighting for his beloved child and is willing to sacrifice.
Alexis Valyan bring us the girl and we will wipe away the debt
I'm coming back to this now.... What a time to hear this :'(
WAIT YOU JUST UPLOADED A NEW ONE :OOOO
Yes... The southern democrats are at it again.
I heard this in a game mod that depicted the fall of the United States at the conclusion of the Cold War. It is terrifying, and this magnified it. Good job.
what mod
Red World
It gives a dark feeling, which is to be expected by the minor key, but your voice just adds an extra tinge of darkness through your great talent. Keep up the amazing work!!

I'm officially addicted to your voice XP
And here I am, in good old Europe, thinking this I don't know that piece and then it is "God Save The Queen". :D
femaleforester Yeah it is! :D
+femaleforester And also "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" and "Moltiva Ruskihk". The anthem of Imperial Germany and Imperial Russia, respectively. Funny how many belligerents in World War I went to war singing the same tune.
+Free Classical Music most monarchs at the time were related
The German anthem would be especially disturbing in minor key-even though they don't sing THAT verse anymore.
By the same token, "Yankee Doodle" was actually Britain giving the Colonies the middle finger.
I'd never heard this version, the abolitionist verse, let alone as minor key. Thank you so much for this.
thank you so much for letting our drumline use you as our voice over you are an amazing artist and a very generous person
Present day this still gives me chills
I was expecting a lot more political comments on this video....
Regardless, excellent rendition. Major to Minor is a fantastic project and I hope you continue it.

This really hits different rn

Timely and absolutely gorgeous. I love how each verse added a new voice, and your harmonies were so clean. Loved it!
God, Chase... my heart just stopped. I've got chills and goosebumps. Your voice is pure perfection. As a former singer i applaud you.
you should do a really upbeat disney song...........
Let it go! 😅😅😅
+Bethany Price Omg! yes! hellfire 😍😍😍😍
Zip-a-dee do dah, perhaps?
He did Kiss The Girl from Little Mermaid.
Insane as always. You are my absolute favorite singer out there atm.
Absolutely stunning! Singing the lyrics of the abolitionist version in the minor key made it so much more powerful, artistically and emotionally.
so many chills
wow this guy is an AMAZING singer

Wow this fitting for we are dealing with right now
You're really good at creating such ambiancs around the songs you cover. And I already said it and I'm going to say it : the concept of major to minor is excellent. Thanks !
my school is doing a veteran's day thing soon, and we watched your "Star Spangled Banner" video in minor, I sung along with you. Man, you are awesome!
Chillingly moving and inspiring. Your voice is powerfully angelic.
I've been looking for this since a group at a local dance show did a dance to it about a month ago - fell in love with the sound you created!
Everything on the internet said it was to the tune of my own national anthem and I knew it wasn't quite the same - now I know why!
jesus, you're too good at bringing me to tears.
It's not just the words themselves, but how they're delivered. And damn. Did you deliver.
ay a spiffing brit fan
and yeah its sad...and relevent
This belongs on Purge: Election Year; or The Star-Spangled Banner in minor. You are amazing! Such talent!
I've been listening to this cover for years, and I keep going back and binge-listening again 4-5 times in a row(or more)! I just can't get over those harmonies, man - they're EPIC.

HOLY CRAP!!!! You're amazing as always! This version came at the perfect time as I'm writing a very dark story. Thanks for your awesome work!
And I'm crying. Such beautiful harmonies. Also thanks for teaching me a little history today!
Got to hear a fantastic version of this song AND learn something new that I may or may not have forgotten from school ;) Seriously, that was great and I'm glad you went with the other lyrics.
Seriously.. I could listen to you all day and night man. You are amazing and I have shared your videos so many times.
Merry Christmas Chase, never stop what you're doing! It is your gift and ours.
This gave me goosebumps all over. Thank you so much for this, it was stunningly incredible.
Chills! My chest is pounding at the sound of your voice, amazing job.
I love this version, especially with the added history; really very rich in sound & content.
Goosebumps the second he started singing! Amazing!
Literally gave me chills - great cover. Lyrics are fitting
This was absolutely chilling, Chase. I would love to see you do another of these Abolitionist Movement songs sometime!
Please! Please! Please! Do another major to minor version of the Star Spangled Banner with all 4 verses (or also with the 5th verse from the civil war).
I always look forward to seeing these videos pop up. And this was absolutely perfect for 4th of July.

Nah this is from scott key he just did it in major to minor which is nice
Please keep them coming! I can't get enough of you!!! :-)
I love this version so much. I wish I could download it. Looks like I'll need to ask for an Itunes card for my birthday
YES! More harmonies! I love when you do more complex harmonies and voice parts. I would love to see how your voice would suit a minor jazz piece. Please do one!
major to minor videos are my favorite😍😍 so incredibly talented!
this stile gives me great ideas for a fictional story for superhero thanks for the boost and keep doing on what you do man.
Wow! Just found you. LOVE this song in a minor key. And your voice bring chills. Thou art truly a master. Thank you
Thank you for singing the abolitionist version. I didn't know it existed and I am completely moved by it. Well done.
I love the look in his face. You can tell he is being so careful and confident in his voice. The way his mouth curves and his lips curl. He is enjoying it. His soul is happy. He has such an amazing voice.
I may be Canadian but that was beautiful. Your singing and that little history blurb.
This could easily be an intro to a dark documentary
Dude, I fucking love how menacing you can be while seeming so sad with the accompanying driving desperation. Shit, it's so god damn good. I'm going to your patreon tonight.
has anyone noticed how the tune is the exact same as the British national Anthem
FELLOW BRITISH PERSON HI!!! greetings from Ulster
+Amy Creek Northern Ireland ?
+John Haché yep
yes. "My Country Tis of Thee", like many old American patriotic songs, used a British song as it's tune.
I just said that. waaaa
Goosebumps, everywhere goosebumps!! Chilling and amazing.
I can see this being the trailer song for a movie/historical game/etc. Just the right balance of strength combined with a sense of foreboding. Love it!
So, this is really good on many levels. Timely too. Thank you. I could flippantly say "You're awesome that's amazing." ... but really that was great. Not casually saying that. We need this part of our cultural heritage now. Thank you.
Wow this is amazing. You captured the mood so perfectly.
That was amazing! I have bought every song so far on iTunes, and will continue to do so for your great music.
This version is do dark! I love it!!
I absolutely love this little bit of musical history, and you did such a beautiful job.
I'm amazed by your skill at creating a self ony Ployphonic harmony I think is the term?
