You could try "I just can't wait to be king" from the lion king.. Get some really good vibes of Simba basically saying he can't wait for his father to die so he can overthrow and take his place
This sounds like a Disney villain realizing her potential to conquer and achieve power. Someone who's lived in a cheery, simple town has become tired of the insipid lifestyle and knows that she could be more. Like the line "If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go." makes it feel like Moana has become unstoppable in her path and if anyone crosses her, they would face terrible consequences.
Instead of a happy little island village with a curious girl, this version sounds like a warrior who wants to explore just for the heck of conquest and power. Just... the minor key, guys. It's powerful.
That combined with a male singer and the heavier instruments like drums and bass guitar really just makes it feel much more forceful and strong handed. It's crazy that he can take a song like "How Far I'll Go" and turn it into something like this.
it's got that sense of danger, too, like there's something just beyond challenging him. and a hint of desperation, like he's got to head out and move _now_, just as you said.
In the original version, it just sounds like a dream for her. In this, it sounds true, and destined. It's like she's telling them now, instead of imagining it.
"No one knows how far I'll go", "if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go" and "what's beyond that line? Will I cross that line?" suddenly have a way darker meaning...
Yeah it sounds like she knows that she’s losing her mind due to confinement on the island and she knows that she’s gonna snap so she knows that she *has* to get off of the island or she’s gonna kill everyone.
This sounds like a villain song and I'm LIVING for it. Moana walking through a decaying island with a grayish looking sea is all I could visualize. I love it.
Dude this sounds like a dystopian future where everyone's brainwashed into believing they're happy but Moana is the rebellious character who is the only one who isn't affected by the brainwashing. In other words, I LOVE THIS.
TheNewGirl ! I think it sounds like that but opposite. Everyone stays away from the ocean because it lures them in but moana is the only one tricked by it
Honestly, this song sounds more like a song about leaving home or suicide and self harm, and it’s extremely dark, seriously, just changing the key changes everything
"Ughhhh I'm so sick of hearing how far I'll go. We're singing it in choir and every girl there thinks she's a fucking pop star for being able to sing it. I'm sO SICK OF-" RUclips: Chase uploaded a minor key version of that song * throws everything to the side for five minutes to watch*
a mermaid taken from her family at a young age when she followed them to a pirate ship. she got caught in a rope and was hauled up. instead of killing her, like the crew normally did since mermaids only cause problems, they adopted her. she's been a part of the crew since then, as her tail faded away as the the water dried all those years ago. in her mid-teenage years, the older crew have resigned to a life ashore a tiny island where they won't be persecuted for their pasts, so she and the younger part of the crew visit them often. during a visit, she hears the voice of the sea, but doesn't know why she can hear it when no one else can. she wants to leave what has essentially become her family to figure out her past, but she's afraid that if she follows the sea, she'll forget the crew and never return.
When I saw the title for Chase's video, I was like," I don't know if he'll be able to pull it off this time." And he just killed it! It's now one of my favorite covers that he has done. Once again, Chase has made another great hit!
It's almost like a sailor who is drawn to the depths of the sea and death that waits there. "No one knows how deep it goes. And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me. And let me know what's beyond that line. Will I cross that line?"
wow. this ist stunning as always. Keep on this amazing work! I have a little question... What did happen to RUclips Desperado-cover? I really loved it and it's very sad that it is not on RUclips anymore
Harley Pappas Yes. The sirens would lure men on passing ships with their voices, until the ships would crash on the rocks and break apart, sending the crew to their deaths. Sirens weren't exactly what I was talking about. I meant that the deep dark of the sea was calling out.
This version is incredible... it has a very “Panic at the Disco” feel. Amazing how a key change can completely change the mood of the song. Love it!!!!
Minor keys are twisted! This is how I see this.Its the dark story of Moana; The island being a prison, and all of the villagers are brainwashed to never want to leave, her dad is the warden. She wants to escape the island, not to restore the heart, but to get away and escape captivity. She's finally fighting the brainwashing and thinking for herself.The island is life, her dad is society (telling everyone on the island the right and wrongs of life), the water/ocean is suicide. Minor keys are F'd up. "If i go there's no telling how far I'll go...."
It is like the situation in Attack on Titan where the walls are sort of cages and it also parallels how we have cages(obstacles) in our lives and how everyone in the AOT world is so accustomed to the walls that they have no desire to explore the outside world but then we have Armin whose goal is to go to the sea
I can imagine this being the reprise where she turns evil and uses the water to do evil things. Evil moana universe anyone? (Also my ears had a hard time adjusting to the key at the beginning bc I listen to the song so much) 😂💖
Jesus, dude. You're the only person I've ever heard that can take a fucking Disney song and turn it into something incredible that I would actually listen to on the radio. Amazing!
So in music we have scales, example: CDEFGABC. They can be major or minor. Major: happy. Example: CDEFGABC on the piano. Minor: sad--there is more tension. Example: ABCDEFGA. Listen to the regular version of this song, which is in E Major; then this one, which is in E minor! Hope this helps a little!
Minor keys are the same just the third sixth and seventh notes in the key are a half step flat. At least that's what most people think of as minor, which is the natural minor. If you leave the 7th natural, then it's a harmonic minor. If you use the natural minor on descent, but just have a flat third on the ascent, that's a melodic minor which is sometimes used in Jazz.
Jess Star The proper tone is called dissonance, the band term anyway, we've heard it in the happy major key and the minor key adds an edge, it's a very cool technique!
Jess Star Minor key does that. we expect a major key, so a song in a minor key causes cognitive dissonance. It makes the listener uncomfortable, so we associate it with being dark or evil. While I was still doing music, I would change songs to a minor key or a major key as an exercise. Zelda's Lullaby could sound so creepy and the Imperial March sounded so uplifting.
BrookeLynn Sigle there would have to be recorded tracks and vocals, which would actually still make for a great show if Chase combined his own live vocals and instrumentals. it'd be an interactive show on the performer's part. it's actually harder to do because you can't improvise if you mess up, the back track will keep going.
TeenDream888 Yea it would still be a great show but i dont think it would be the same and you are right it is that much harder if he messes up but i just dont think it would be the same
This version of the song... It tells the story of a young girl, raised on a chain of islands far from the mainland that was taken from them. She is the princess of this nation of people, the next ruler of the Exiled. The people on the island are happy there, unwanting to return to the ocean to travel back to their homeland. They lost the war, after all. This was a peaceful place, where no more blood would have to be spilled. However, the ocean calls to her, the horizon screams for her attention... her homeland cries out her name. So she begins to plan. Corrupted, vengeful, and terrifying, she crafts the perfect plot. Her plans are dark, terrible, they cross every line of humanity, yet she does not care. Her mind is solely on the horizon in front of her, on the ocean that divides her people from their rightful home. She will return to the mainland, reclaim her lands, and show the true meaning of terror to those that sent her people into exile. After she takes back her homeland... There's no telling how far she'll go. How many lands she'll conquer... how many oceans will call to her. She'll go to the horizon and back... and who know how much farther. Or at least... that's the story I get out of this.
Well after reading all these comments about Moana turning/being lured to evil, here's my take: Moana hates the life she’s living. Too stagnant, no chance for adventure on the high seas, etc. and she’s obviously sick and tired of the expectations on her to be the perfect daughter and leader of her people. The ocean is a malicious entity who tempts her with the heart of Te Fiti and with its own allure of power. Moana succumbs, and becomes a demigoddess in her own right. She then lures in followers and worshippers from her former home. Not everyone on Motunui agrees with her twisted ideals or the way she obtained her power, and some try to stop her. In revenge, Moana uses her newfound powers to bring destruction and ruin upon Motunui! Then she and her followers embark upon the journeys and adventures she’d always dreamed of. They discover new (is)lands, and Moana even discovers how to create new lands using the power of the heart of Te Fiti. But alas, there is a price Moana must pay for her megalomania... because the heart of Te Fiti has been away from its rightful place/owner for too long, a curse falls on Moana: Everywhere she goes, ruin begins to follow. The lands that she and her people settle begin to suffer from famine or natural disasters not long after Moana and her people arrive. Moana begins to create new islands for them, which under her magic, offers some protection and staves off disaster for a couple of generations. But eventually, those lands succumb, and due to the curse, no matter what Moana does, she can’t restore those lost or barren lands to their former glory. Moana starts to feel guilty, but she’s too addicted to her power to truly make things right by restoring Te Fiti’s heart to its rightful place. Because she fears that her followers will turn against her, she leaves the island she recently lived on with her people and is never seen again. However, she never strays far from her people. She continues to create new land for her people to settle. And so the story of Moana ends (or continues) here: Moana remains cursed to recreate short-lived island paradises that are doomed to fall, with her subjects’ descendants forced to follow her trail of crumbs for the rest of eternity.
I want this to be a movie, or just an animation. Oh, Hello! I come from the future. Now we have corona- I mean Voldemort, and Forest fires and Bad stuff. So get ready. What? This isn't how comments work? ... Welp.
Well dang, I read this after the song just ended and now I need to listen to it again with this metaphor in mind to see how that alters the songs sound even more.
Oh my god, I've been in love with your minor covers since I first heard them and this is one of my favourite disney songs ever!!!! You pulled off this song beautifully, I think I've never clicked on a video so fast!! Your voice sounds so amazing, lots of love from Finland! ❤
Ever since I saw someone's comment about how it sounds like Moana is someone who is haunted by urges to succumb to some evil sea-power, and that this song is her describing her fighting her desire for it right before she gives in and turns evil, I just can't listen to this version as anything else. That's all I hear it as now
When I hear this version of the song I think of a person becoming a villain when the 'good guys' let the villain's friend (or any other person they care a lot about) die and doesn't try to help them. During this song it's just the villain losing themselves, questioning everything they once thought, and being driven to the point where they will stop at NOTHING to avenge the person they cared so much about.
Gotta love the fact he's wearing a mickey mouse shirt while singing this incredibly epic, eerie disney song. (Just typing that seemed odd to me.. lel.)
Would you ever consider doing Moana's "You're Welcome" in Minor ? I can imagine it, and it feels like the meaning would take on a seriously dark depressing tragic tone.
How?! How is every song you produce somehow better than the one before it?! Your voice is powerful and hypnotic and unforgettable. Every time I am fortunate enough to hear another one of your gems, inspiration hits me like a fist to the face. Always got me seeing stars!
You here that? thats the sound of thousands of people jumping for their phones to the sound of the notification as they intensely try to open youtube to watch the video.
This version doesn't sound dark or evil to me. It sounds powerful--like she feels this deep in her heart, and she is destined to do this despite everyone trying to keep her from the task she is meant to carry out.
I imagine it'd be moana stayed as chief of motunui, and then years later, the darkness runs over whole island, leaving it in ashes. Leaving her the only one alive because of the heart she wore as protection, she crushes the green rock, and uses the wrath of the ocean and makes her way to kill te ka
Is Mulan's Reflection already in a minor key? Even if it is I think a cover by him would be magnificent. Or anything from The Nightmare Before Christmas, for that matter...
Lyric I've been standing at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try Every turn I take, every trail I track Every path I make, every road leads back To the place I know, where I can not go Though I long to be See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island Everything is by design I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island So maybe I can roll with mine I can lead with pride, I can make us strong I'll be satisfied if I play along But the voice inside sings a different song What is wrong with me? See the light as it shines on the sea it's blinding But no one knows, how deep it goes And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line? See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know, how far I'll go
Yeah. All I can hear is the story of Moana, but this time she has schizophrenia, and the voices she hears are trying to get her into the water and away from the island even though, in the back of her head she knows she could drown! So she goes in and the rest of the journey is her in the underworld and she's finally happy.
I LOVE how you used the instruments to make the part about how happy everyone is on the island still sound kind of cheery and upbeat, while the tone of your voice singing the words makes it sound like you're mocking them for their naivety
Nightmare Bonnie Markiplier I totally agree! The original was okay but I never really wanted to listen to it. This cover however.... this is probably the 15th time I've listened to it, and I only found it yesterday! I love this cover so much!
Alexis Poling I'm still debating on whether or not I should buy it! Every time I do buy a song I love I listen to it nonstop til I get sick of it, and I don't want that to happen with this song! Lol
Brooklyn Lisemby try putting your phone of shuffle, it'll prevent you from listening to the same songs over and over. I do the same thing, but with my phone on shuffle, I'm able to enjoy all of my songs
I feel like this version changes the story, and I feel like it would be like this: Moana is a servant/slave to Queen on this island. She has always loved the Ocean and is realizing that she can control it. This song her realizing that she wants to be a Queen and she thinks she'd love to be in charge.( using the line "I could lead with pride, I could make us strong, I'll be satisfied if I play along" ) She decides to run away and leaves on a boat and the lyric "If I cross that line there's just no telling how far I'll go" refers to how far she is willing to go to get what she wants. She leaves and she decides to find others to enslave and make her subjects.
Straight chills. Absolute goosebumps, no lie, those harmonies were really excellently done, and this is my favourite version of this song I've ever heard.
What I think of when I hear this song- So Moana is on an island held captive then she gets hypnotized by the person who own the prison/island than goes to break out of her hypnotic state when she breaks out of it, she gets caught and the owner of the prison kills her slowly by drowning her. Thx for two dark likers!
I think this song sounds like it is about a person that is longing to commit suicide but is scare to do so. I figured that because of "i wish i could be the perfect daughter, but i come back to the water no matter how hard i try... Everybody on this island seem so happy on this island... everyone has a role on this island, maybe I should roll with mine... I can lead with pride, I can make us strong, but the voice inside sings a different song, what is wrong with me?"
I love that you didn't change 'daughter' to 'son', I hate when artists change the lyrics of a song to match their gender or sexuality, it can completely change the rhythm and sometimes even the meaning behind the song. You are so talented and I love your work, I hope this major to minor series never ends. Another amazing job!
I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try Every turn I take, every trail I track Every path I make, every road leads back To the place I know, where I can not go, where I long to be See the line where the sky meets the sea?

Peeble Kitty How's about this? Maui's recognition is at its peak. He's constantly asked for favours, and praised for all his efforts. The minor version of this song could be seen as cynical or sarcastic, him growing tired of being seen as nothing but a tool humans use for personal gain. Or... The opposite, where he isn't recognized for his efforts. He's angry that he's done so much for humans and has gained nothing from it.

Harley Pappas Yes. The sirens would lure men on passing ships with their voices, until the ships would crash on the rocks and break apart, sending the crew to their deaths. Sirens weren't exactly what I was talking about. I meant that the deep dark of the sea was calling out.
This version is incredible... it has a very “Panic at the Disco” feel. Amazing how a key change can completely change the mood of the song. Love it!!!!
Mm it sounds like Panic! And Set it off made a Song together
Minor keys are twisted! This is how I see this.Its the dark story of Moana; The island being a prison, and all of the villagers are brainwashed to never want to leave, her dad is the warden. She wants to escape the island, not to restore the heart, but to get away and escape captivity. She's finally fighting the brainwashing and thinking for herself.The island is life, her dad is society (telling everyone on the island the right and wrongs of life), the water/ocean is suicide. Minor keys are F'd up. "If i go there's no telling how far I'll go...."
Umm ima go with badass
chriscabrera45 This explanation kind of reminds me of Borrasca by CK Walker.
chriscabrera45 I kind of thought if it as suicide as well
It is like the situation in Attack on Titan where the walls are sort of cages and it also parallels how we have cages(obstacles) in our lives and how everyone in the AOT world is so accustomed to the walls that they have no desire to explore the outside world but then we have Armin whose goal is to go to the sea
chriscabrera45 ahhh these comments give me chills i love them!
"The voice inside sings a different song" *sings this song*
I can imagine this being the reprise where she turns evil and uses the water to do evil things. Evil moana universe anyone? (Also my ears had a hard time adjusting to the key at the beginning bc I listen to the song so much) 😂💖
Omg! Yessss
A Wilson Plot Twist: She's actually a water bender that then learns to blood bend and uses it to enslave her people and over throw her father

Jesus, dude. You're the only person I've ever heard that can take a fucking Disney song and turn it into something incredible that I would actually listen to on the radio. Amazing!
Ashley you should listen to his minor key cover of sebastian's kiss the girl... if u havent tho
I've listened to ALL his covers, haha. I can't choose my favorite! "Dangerous Woman" is definitely in my top 5. 😉
Have you heard of Jonathan Young? If you haven't, might want to hear some of his covers. :)
I always seem to prefer minor keys
LunaRenSelene OMG He has the best cover of Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and Emperor's New Clothes!
This sounds like every panic at the disco song. I guess they like the minor key
Pharuam ahhhh yessss Beebo was here 😂😂😂😂
I didn't realize that until now wow
I'm very musically handicapped, I have no clue what a major or a minor key is, what it does or how it sounds, all I know is I like this
So in music we have scales, example: CDEFGABC. They can be major or minor.
Major: happy. Example: CDEFGABC on the piano.
Minor: sad--there is more tension. Example: ABCDEFGA. Listen to the regular version of this song, which is in E Major; then this one, which is in E minor!
Hope this helps a little!
To put things easy, a minor key usually sounds pretty depressing, ngl.
A mayor key sounds happier
Other than the other comments, looking up an easy music theory video helps.
Minor keys are the same just the third sixth and seventh notes in the key are a half step flat. At least that's what most people think of as minor, which is the natural minor. If you leave the 7th natural, then it's a harmonic minor. If you use the natural minor on descent, but just have a flat third on the ascent, that's a melodic minor which is sometimes used in Jazz.
Major sounds happy.
Minor sounds sad.
Why does every cover he make sound like the evil version on the songs? XD
Jess Star Minor Keys generally make things sound super depressing or like evil. (most of the time)
Jess Star almost anything in a minor key is sad or "evil" sounding where as songs in a major key tend to sound happy and "good"
Jess Star The proper tone is called dissonance, the band term anyway, we've heard it in the happy major key and the minor key adds an edge, it's a very cool technique!
Jess Star Minor key does that. we expect a major key, so a song in a minor key causes cognitive dissonance. It makes the listener uncomfortable, so we associate it with being dark or evil.
While I was still doing music, I would change songs to a minor key or a major key as an exercise. Zelda's Lullaby could sound so creepy and the Imperial March sounded so uplifting.

"If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go" sounds like a threat and I love it!
I'm not the only one who would go to a Holfelder concert right?
I would buy 20 tickets and force all my friends to come along
Sammmee boii
i would but there is so many things HE does and i dont think it would be the same at a concert
BrookeLynn Sigle there would have to be recorded tracks and vocals, which would actually still make for a great show if Chase combined his own live vocals and instrumentals. it'd be an interactive show on the performer's part. it's actually harder to do because you can't improvise if you mess up, the back track will keep going.
TeenDream888 Yea it would still be a great show but i dont think it would be the same and you are right it is that much harder if he messes up but i just dont think it would be the same
the fact my music teacher played this in class and i actually found it makes me feel like a super spy lmao

This version of the song...
It tells the story of a young girl, raised on a chain of islands far from the mainland that was taken from them. She is the princess of this nation of people, the next ruler of the Exiled. The people on the island are happy there, unwanting to return to the ocean to travel back to their homeland. They lost the war, after all. This was a peaceful place, where no more blood would have to be spilled.
However, the ocean calls to her, the horizon screams for her attention... her homeland cries out her name. So she begins to plan. Corrupted, vengeful, and terrifying, she crafts the perfect plot. Her plans are dark, terrible, they cross every line of humanity, yet she does not care. Her mind is solely on the horizon in front of her, on the ocean that divides her people from their rightful home.
She will return to the mainland, reclaim her lands, and show the true meaning of terror to those that sent her people into exile. After she takes back her homeland... There's no telling how far she'll go. How many lands she'll conquer... how many oceans will call to her. She'll go to the horizon and back... and who know how much farther.
Or at least... that's the story I get out of this.
Crysi Crysis I could see this playing out as I read it. If you don't write it, I will gladly do so!
Sounds a bit like Daenerys...
SHyperice
Does it? I’ve never seen Game of Thrones so I wouldn’t honestly know. Lol.
That could be a watchable show/movie.
Damn.
SHyperice You're right. Think so, too.
Well after reading all these comments about Moana turning/being lured to evil, here's my take:
Moana hates the life she’s living. Too stagnant, no chance for adventure on the high seas, etc. and she’s obviously sick and tired of the expectations on her to be the perfect daughter and leader of her people.
The ocean is a malicious entity who tempts her with the heart of Te Fiti and with its own allure of power. Moana succumbs, and becomes a demigoddess in her own right. She then lures in followers and worshippers from her former home. Not everyone on Motunui agrees with her twisted ideals or the way she obtained her power, and some try to stop her. In revenge, Moana uses her newfound powers to bring destruction and ruin upon Motunui! Then she and her followers embark upon the journeys and adventures she’d always dreamed of.
They discover new (is)lands, and Moana even discovers how to create new lands using the power of the heart of Te Fiti. But alas, there is a price Moana must pay for her megalomania... because the heart of Te Fiti has been away from its rightful place/owner for too long, a curse falls on Moana: Everywhere she goes, ruin begins to follow. The lands that she and her people settle begin to suffer from famine or natural disasters not long after Moana and her people arrive. Moana begins to create new islands for them, which under her magic, offers some protection and staves off disaster for a couple of generations. But eventually, those lands succumb, and due to the curse, no matter what Moana does, she can’t restore those lost or barren lands to their former glory.
Moana starts to feel guilty, but she’s too addicted to her power to truly make things right by restoring Te Fiti’s heart to its rightful place. Because she fears that her followers will turn against her, she leaves the island she recently lived on with her people and is never seen again. However, she never strays far from her people. She continues to create new land for her people to settle. And so the story of Moana ends (or continues) here: Moana remains cursed to recreate short-lived island paradises that are doomed to fall, with her subjects’ descendants forced to follow her trail of crumbs for the rest of eternity.
if moana was a villain movie, this would be AMAZING. (it's amazing anyway though hhfjdk)
OMFG this needs more likes
B-(needs a thesis statement)
You just destroyed my perception of moana
I want this to be a movie, or just an animation.

@Allison Gargiulo y'all I'm sorry but I never posted it lmao
You should do "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" from The Lion King next. It'd probably fit Taka (young Scar) pretty well. :)
The fact that I immediately thought of “king for a day” just proves I’m too emo.
Oh my god that would be amazing
This mans genius has blown us all away 🤯
GENIUS
Makes me think of someone contemplating suicide using metaphors
Yes, the island is life and sea is suicide
omfg I just realised that and that makes the song even more beautiful
Well dang, I read this after the song just ended and now I need to listen to it again with this metaphor in mind to see how that alters the songs sound even more.
Wow Disney just took a dark turn. It does fit in a very dark way.
Leah 😦
i like the part where its in a minor key.

It sounds like she's getting revenge for someone who's done something terrible to her.
Oh my god, I've been in love with your minor covers since I first heard them and this is one of my favourite disney songs ever!!!! You pulled off this song beautifully, I think I've never clicked on a video so fast!! Your voice sounds so amazing, lots of love from Finland! ❤

Didn't watch the movie but every minor key turns innocent characters into villains. Major to Minor is freaking awesome.
Ann When Moana becomes a pirate
Do love is an open door from frozen!!!! That could sound super creepy
Great suggestion!
HOLY FUCK THAT SOUNDS AMAZING
If you do this song, do you mind replacing "finish each other's sandwiches" with "finish each other's life". Thank you.
Perhaps you could imply Hans' intentions in his parts. That would be cool to hear.
Yes please!!!!
When the hero sympathies with the villain who is starting to make sense
Has Lin seen this??? Lin would love this omg his voice is amazing
Emma LeStrange tweet it to Lin
SOMEBODY SHOW HIM!!!
Did Lin ever see the thing?
omg youre right
Everything is better in minor
Pure fact
Nothing short of the truth
So, you like minors?
@@ElaxGameplaysHD Everything is better when it's minor.
Much agreed
Ever since I saw someone's comment about how it sounds like Moana is someone who is haunted by urges to succumb to some evil sea-power, and that this song is her describing her fighting her desire for it right before she gives in and turns evil, I just can't listen to this version as anything else. That's all I hear it as now
Moana's obsession with the ocean drives her to purposefully sink to the bottom
Moana 2: The Final Canoe
When I hear this version of the song I think of a person becoming a villain when the 'good guys' let the villain's friend (or any other person they care a lot about) die and doesn't try to help them. During this song it's just the villain losing themselves, questioning everything they once thought, and being driven to the point where they will stop at NOTHING to avenge the person they cared so much about.
Can we appreciate how he sounds so rebellious, but is also wearing a cute mickey shirt?
Gotta love the fact he's wearing a mickey mouse shirt while singing this incredibly epic, eerie disney song. (Just typing that seemed odd to me.. lel.)
Kim Flores lel
Would you ever consider doing Moana's "You're Welcome" in Minor ?
I can imagine it, and it feels like the meaning would take on a seriously dark depressing tragic tone.
THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD!
How?! How is every song you produce somehow better than the one before it?! Your voice is powerful and hypnotic and unforgettable. Every time I am fortunate enough to hear another one of your gems, inspiration hits me like a fist to the face. Always got me seeing stars!
1:58
I WANT MY VOICE TO DO THAT, I love that part so much, the softness in the voice
I love it
Howw pls
I can kinda do that :DD I’m in vocal but my voice is very soft but I never sing soft that much but now imma sing more soft uwuwueuhdidhwushs
Welcome to the world of head voice.
Isn't it just very breathy Head Voice? Idk I'm not good at things like this
Roy Wilson yeah. That’s all it is.
You here that? thats the sound of thousands of people jumping for their phones to the sound of the notification as they intensely try to open youtube to watch the video.
This version doesn't sound dark or evil to me. It sounds powerful--like she feels this deep in her heart, and she is destined to do this despite everyone trying to keep her from the task she is meant to carry out.
I imagine it'd be moana stayed as chief of motunui, and then years later, the darkness runs over whole island, leaving it in ashes. Leaving her the only one alive because of the heart she wore as protection, she crushes the green rock, and uses the wrath of the ocean and makes her way to kill te ka
A suicidal islander is drawn to the sea to kill herself. Drowning Moana
Yami Kaisu Drowning Moana translates to drowning ocean. Hehe
A new creepypasta. Who wants to write it?
The current of Moana
I wish someone made an animatic with this concept
Is Mulan's Reflection already in a minor key? Even if it is I think a cover by him would be magnificent.
Or anything from The Nightmare Before Christmas, for that matter...
I don't know about Reflection but Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack is almost exclusively minor key already.
Maybe he should do be a man in a minor key
She’s looking off a bridge into the sea contemplating jumping in this version :0
After I've read this, it lowkey matches and i cant stop thinking of that as a backstory oml
Lyric
I've been standing at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go
Though I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea it's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go
Thanks💁♀️
it sounds spooky.. i like it c;
emma and the diamonds The power of minor key!
Yeah. All I can hear is the story of Moana, but this time she has schizophrenia, and the voices she hears are trying to get her into the water and away from the island even though, in the back of her head she knows she could drown! So she goes in and the rest of the journey is her in the underworld and she's finally happy.
HelpImAddicted15 hey hey you... yes you...you should write that
emma and the diamonds love your username:)
That key change somehow sounded even better in minor. A+++
I LOVE how you used the instruments to make the part about how happy everyone is on the island still sound kind of cheery and upbeat, while the tone of your voice singing the words makes it sound like you're mocking them for their naivety
this is WAY better than the original (I'm serious)
Nightmare Bonnie Markiplier I totally agree! The original was okay but I never really wanted to listen to it. This cover however.... this is probably the 15th time I've listened to it, and I only found it yesterday! I love this cover so much!
Brooklyn Lisemby 6 times. I just found it. 😂❤️💜💙
Alexis Poling I'm still debating on whether or not I should buy it! Every time I do buy a song I love I listen to it nonstop til I get sick of it, and I don't want that to happen with this song! Lol
Brooklyn Lisemby try putting your phone of shuffle, it'll prevent you from listening to the same songs over and over. I do the same thing, but with my phone on shuffle, I'm able to enjoy all of my songs
Rose Traverso I normally do. But it rarely helps.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS PARALLEL UNIVERSE?! I love how you've kept it upbeat, it just makes it creepier because it sounds like it should be happy. :P
I feel like this version changes the story, and I feel like it would be like this:
Moana is a servant/slave to Queen on this island. She has always loved the Ocean and is realizing that she can control it. This song her realizing that she wants to be a Queen and she thinks she'd love to be in charge.( using the line "I could lead with pride, I could make us strong, I'll be satisfied if I play along" ) She decides to run away and leaves on a boat and the lyric "If I cross that line there's just no telling how far I'll go" refers to how far she is willing to go to get what she wants. She leaves and she decides to find others to enslave and make her subjects.
@
Straight chills. Absolute goosebumps, no lie, those harmonies were really excellently done, and this is my favourite version of this song I've ever heard.
To me it sounds like convincing yourself to tie concrete to your feet and drowning yourself. IDK I think it's just me.
Dark Wolf oh shit i like that interpretation
I have this interpretation now, thanks
I had to take a second listen after reading this comment and yes. YES. I don't think I'll ever hear it any other way now, and I'm fine with that.
I love messing with the keys of songs, I'll always turn them into horror tunes, I often change notes, but it just makes it more effective.
sylva lane changed notes
it was super effective
Sia and chase are the two singers who do covers and make the songs 10x better than the original ones
Bilal Hussain pentatonix. They do covers that are better than the original
What I think of when I hear this song-
So Moana is on an island held captive then she gets hypnotized by the person who own the prison/island than goes to break out of her hypnotic state when she breaks out of it, she gets
caught and the owner of the prison kills her slowly by drowning her.
Thx for two dark likers!
Jeez coming back to this now I sound so angsty. Lol
Evermore - Beauty and The Beast in Minor would be 👌🏻
mooncake3656 I thought he'd only done the main theme? Not the Beast's song?

Jena Bena I love that song! I hope he does it!
Jena Bena please!!!
Jena Bena, your profile pic is from my favorite mcr song
I think this song sounds like it is about a person that is longing to commit suicide but is scare to do so. I figured that because of "i wish i could be the perfect daughter, but i come back to the water no matter how hard i try... Everybody on this island seem so happy on this island... everyone has a role on this island, maybe I should roll with mine... I can lead with pride, I can make us strong, but the voice inside sings a different song, what is wrong with me?"

I love that you didn't change 'daughter' to 'son', I hate when artists change the lyrics of a song to match their gender or sexuality, it can completely change the rhythm and sometimes even the meaning behind the song. You are so talented and I love your work, I hope this major to minor series never ends. Another amazing job!

never watched the movie, but holy crap this is a good song
you should watch it, it's really good.
you shouldn't watch it, it's really mediocre. It has all the trappings a movie should have but is incredibly repetitive and lackluster.
SpookyDarling Well, you should go into a kids movie expecting that it might be a bit repetitive, but for a kids movie, it was very good
watch ittttt dont listen to these Heathens disrespecting Moana
Low key pissed right now that this amazing song is not on spodify
marshmallow midget it is now
i’m not sure if this pun was intended but it’s still great
Chrysocolla 😂
Don't you mean minor key?
2:40-2:50 gave me CHILLS like my spine tingled and I don’t even know, i eargasmed
I really want to see " You're welcome" done in minor. Low it right down, make it even more somber, it could be really impactful
Scribbler Sally Then put it in major, because that tends to make them sound more intense and evocative
But what kind of twisted story could you make out of that? Boring xP
Peeble Kitty How's about this?
Maui's recognition is at its peak. He's constantly asked for favours, and praised for all his efforts. The minor version of this song could be seen as cynical or sarcastic, him growing tired of being seen as nothing but a tool humans use for personal gain.
Or...
The opposite, where he isn't recognized for his efforts. He's angry that he's done so much for humans and has gained nothing from it.
Kurotoge & Co .Gaming yes
just the way every background music piece blends together so seamlessly is amazing. pop, take notes.
Sounds like if Moana was a zombie-emo-pirate, I love it
