Chase Holfelder Would you mind posting some instrumental or karaoke-type tracks of these? I would very much like to try my hand at covering your amazing work!
Chase Holfelder hey! love your work, can't stop listening to those minor key versions! Do you think you could try "Kiss" from Prince in a minor key? I think it could be very interesting ! 😃☺👌💙💙
(sees title) (squints suspiciously) This is one of my favorite songs, so I hope it's really good... (watches) Expectations have been exceeded. Greatly.
Wow this version definitely changes the tone. The original sounds sulky and apologetic. This one actually sounds like the singer is facing a turning point in his life and coming to terms with his choices in the past and how it has effected those he should have cared for most.
Divine Pearl, this remix suits Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z as an amv. Retells back to when he got brainwashed by Babidi and then sacrifice his life for Bulma's sake, Trunks's sake, and rather he won't admit Goku's sake and is willing to make sacrifices for them.
good point. I don't completely agree, because I think depending on what the singer has done, an apologetic tone might be fitting, but you definitey have a point. Also you explained what you meant which is nice, compared to other idiots on social media, throwing around feelings like they're reasonable opinions :D
This sounds remorseful, and in the same light sometimes hopeful, like the person regrets whatever they've done and truly wants to be better. Fighting through the guilt and desire to give up to try to carry on. There's, more soul, more drama, to this than the original. It's gorgeous!
This should be played in an action movie like the scene where after loosing all hope the hero gets the will to fight back and does a badass walk to this song
"Long time antagonistic character sacrifices themselves to save the main cast" Or "Long time bully like main character goes to the "antag side" to protect the one they love and ends up sacrificing themselves at the end" Idk lol
The lyric that really sticks with me is "I've found a reason to show, a side of me you didn't know, a reason for all that I do, and the reason is you" that is so powerful and I can relate to that so much it makes me cry
Ya know this could be a wonderful theme song for Villain Izuku. Like it seriously fits him, the way he transitioned to the evil side, feels a bit guilty but still stays a villain to prove something. Gosh I love your covers!
Chase Holfelder yes. I found you by accident as well. I think your voice is gorgeous and I absolutely love your style. My request is Learning to Walk Again by the Foo Fighters.
It’s been so amazing to watch how you’ve changed over the past couple of years. And I’m not talking about your music or your voice, which has always been spectacular. I mean how you started off as a cute, shy, and innocent looking, big-blue-eyed smiling young guy, and how you’ve changed your hair and are maturing into one fine hot looking dude! Keep it coming!
Just a heads up that the song is available for purchase on iTunes now! You can download it here ➡️ apple.co/2cS6zUQ Thanks for all of the kind words :-) What song should I do next??
p.s. did Ariana Grande ever comment on your cover of Dangerous Woman? If she didn't, it's because yours is 10X better! I can't tell you how many times I had that one on repeat. I can never just listen to it once!! Much 💜!!
"Stars" would be awesome! I also recommend "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera. Turning songs from a major key into a minor key is creative and really shows a new perspective, so keep up the great work :D
I had not heard it in ages. My apologies, it is in major. It might be better in minor. Of all their songs I prefer most of them over The Black Parade. He might make it better
I look forward to your covers more than any other RUclips musician. Minor key is so chilling, my absolute favorite & your voice is just so perfect to execute all of these major to minor covers. Another brilliant composition! Please keep it up!
You'd think I'd stop having such visceral reactions to your music, after some amount of time...nope! Still get WAVES of chills. Your talent is stunning!!!
I absolutely loved this particular song from the jump in the way back. It was like a thing between this guy I was seeing and myself. But this version, this version is like me right now. I feel like I can move on and not feel awful for wanting to do so. I found a reason to move on, to be the girl he never knew....and he will never get that part of me. I feel so freaking free!!!
This was one of my favorite songs when I first fell in love with my husband. now 15 years later Chase has reminded me and blown my mind on how versatile lyrics can be.
I am not a fan of some of the original songs you cover, to the point to where I haven't listened to the words. You have given them life in my heart. I can't stop listening
You are officially my favorite musician. I've been following you for a couple of years now and every song you interpret ( especially major to minor- what a great idea) is just so absolutely flabbergasting. All the best and thank you!
I'd LOVE to hear you cover I Put A Spell On you. A little late for Halloween but its one of my favorite songs so I'm gonna request it anyway. I always love these major to minor covers, this one feels like the hero of a movie or something having this emotional battle with their dark side and their love.
I'm not a perfect person There's many thing I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears That's why I need you to hear I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you
It is currently 10pm and I just stumbled across this song. I do not care what the time is I have still sent it to my mum to listen to when she wakes up tomorrow. This was our favourite song on Singstar and our favourite song in general back in the day. Thank you 🙌🏼
I used your videos to show my students some of the awesome things you can do with tech to enhance music. I had them listen to it without seeing it first and then showed them the video. They could not believe it was created by one person. They were in awe of your talent and skills and how hard you work to make your pieces so flawless! KUDOS!!!
I first met your covers when I was watching a MEP and had loved the song, the description led me to your cover of Animal from Neon Trees. Then I listened to all of you other covers and I was in love, to say the least. I believe that there are covers that are better than the original songs and you beat the score! I absolutely love your voice, it's so beautiful and powerful and it only adds up to the type of covers you do. I love always love emotional, dark and deep feelings and you give that to songs that, originally, we wouldn't give much of a second thought, like your cover from All I want for Christmas is You, of course, there are songs that were already powerful by themselves but you manage to make them sound even deeper, complex, like there is a message underneath. This is one of my favorite covers from you, although I love all of your covers, which I might have listened to over a thousand times already. You became one of my favorite artists so much I sometimes imagine you appearing in one of those contests like Got Talent or X Factor, etc, I'm sure you would win either of them. Anyway, just to say I absolutely love what you do, I absolutely admire the art you make!
This song translates really well to a minor key. Makes you wonder if it was originally written minor then changed to major to be more radio friendly 🤔 excellent cover. You have a great voice.
This was my favorite song what seems like a long time ago, and this cover not only made me feel nostalgic but it was amazingly beautiful. The minor key gives it that hint of desperation and epicness, while the original sounds very gentle and sweet. I love this a lot.
If you listen closely, at 2:14 he sings to the g minor chord. But when that part is repeated, G mayor plays and then fades into g minor. Which makes it sound epic.
voiceappeal yeah i noticed that too i love when he does little things that he usually doesnt do like how he started what a wonderful world in a lower octave
I was walking through your channel and I saw the cover of this song, I did not think for a second to see it, I definitely love this song, it reminds me of a very special person and it makes me cry what was his destiny. But enough stories, the cover is great !!
This song will never ever get old. I used to listen to it all the time as a teenager. Hey, I really like your version/cover. You have the amazing ability to recreate songs.
Can I just say that you're an amazing musician. As a music composer myself I really enjoy your arrangements for all the songs you've done. I have been subscribed for a long time but I thought I should actually comment. Thank you for working so hard. You have a great talent that is much appreciated!!
had the original song stuck in my head for the last hour at work, and on my break I see this. Gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the night now lol
I LOVE IT. I am in Color guard and this is our performance music this season. We heard it for the first time today and the majority of the squad cried. I love it so so much!
This is EVERYTHING! I am completely mesmerized by that song. It totally sounds so much more sad and makes it seem like maybe he killed the girl he's singing about. I just love this. And you have such a great voice. I hope you keep making amazing music. I will definitely watch more videos. Can't wait to see what you create next!!!!
So chase was suggested to me by a friend as a teacher of music. Lately he has been showing up in "my mix" - I loved his "fireworks" cover, but this song is beyond that. This is how the original song should have been. I will never be able to hear the original ever again without thinking this cover is much better.
You really don't know how thrilled I was to discover you. Haha. Seriously, I have always thought, "You know, (insert various song here) would be really good if they did it in a minor key," and suddenly, here's someone who does that!! :-D Keep it up man, you got mad skills and such a great voice. Btw, your rendition of "Somewhere over the rainbow" blew my mind. *rolls eyes* You just don't know. I am not a screamer when excited, but I actually did shout, "What?! OMG!" when I heard that song for the first time.
Chase!!!! This is soooooooo gooooooooooood! I was listening to the original when I saw you had uploaded this. It made me so happy! Continue making awesome covers.
Your music has been inspiration for a novel I'm working on. These songs set the PERFECT emotional stance for so many. If I get these published, I would be curious what you think about how I use your work to influence my own.
OMFG. It's so rare i watch all videos of a channel, but dude...you are incredible!! First time here i was like "pff, ok. just sing in a lower key? meh", but you change the music and it becomes GREAT! Just congratulations from Brazil. The world should know you!
Chase. i've been waiting MONTHS. pleaaaase do a cover of "my favorite things"! your covers are great but your voice would fit beautifully with that song!
2:17 I absolutely love your music, I know alot of the songs are covers but I fall in love with each and every one all over again! You make them sound a little different but in my opinion, they are so much more beautiful in your voice and emotion!!! ❤❤❤ your #1 fan, Kimberly Diaz
20 seconds in and love it! Can't wait to hear what you have next! I love your major to minor covers! Everytime I hear any song in major with sad/depressing lyrical content, I try to imagine it in minor.
This made me just realize why I love minor key. I love the original song a lot, but this gives it this dark, slightly mysterious Evanescence vibe. It also ultimately sounds more painful (emotional). Gives me goosebumps, very well done.
thank you for sharing this. It gave me a distraction for nearly 5 min. I just loss my father yesterday. so in away this song kind of hits home. I'm not proud of the way I was a daughter to him, but now that he is gone I'm going to try and make him proud.
thank god you put this in a minor key, Chase, cause you made it sound a MILLION times better. this is just one of those songs I've loathed since it came out, but I'm in love with this cover - as I am with all of your covers. the minor arrangement, your voice, just everything, makes this sound amazing ♡
Some of the lyrics make me think of a story where a killer (yandere) fell in love with a girl and tried to kill everyone close to her, but after seeing her reaction to finding her loved ones he decided to try and change so he didn't have to see her tears. Now I want to write a story of that. In any case I love your music, you must be so musically gifted and very skilled to adapt these songs into a more chilling version that haunts you, even after days of not listening to them.
It's not just "cool" or better than the original. It sounds sincere. Unlike the original (which I've just googled), where the regret about hurting the others sounds like " probably I was bad so I can say 'sorry' and now I feel much better, OK thanx bye" haha. BTW, this version remindes me of the Finnish band called The Rasmus (one of my favs). Thanx to you, now I know most of their songs are made in Minor Key :) You're really amazing.

Chase Holfelder You are one of my favs! I love your minor to major vids. The outcome is always mind-blowing :)

Chase Holfelder SOUND OF SILENCE DISTURBED VERSION PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(sees title) (squints suspiciously) This is one of my favorite songs, so I hope it's really good...
(watches)
Expectations have been exceeded. Greatly.

@@RezneRebelRisky I can see it!

Also you explained what you meant which is nice, compared to other idiots on social media, throwing around feelings like they're reasonable opinions :D
Sulky? 😕
For me this feels like "right after something happened" and the original feels "after thinking for a while about what happened".
Sounds like a Linkin Park song with this treatment. I liked it!!!
Was looking for someone to say that!
Ditto
omg imagine the screams on "and the reason is you!"... this made me think once again how I miss Chester, well nevermind
You can call it “The Reason for What I’ve Done”
Really, it's sounds like linkin Park
This sounds remorseful, and in the same light sometimes hopeful, like the person regrets whatever they've done and truly wants to be better. Fighting through the guilt and desire to give up to try to carry on.
There's, more soul, more drama, to this than the original. It's gorgeous!
this sounds like a villain song and i am LIVING FOR IT
Sarah Neuhaus shoot. Thinking of it like that hurts my heart.
I actually think the same, I mean, minus the second verse, it seems like an amazing "embracing the darkness" song.
Oh my gosh you're so right!!!
+
Just tweak the lyrics a little, and you got a perfect revenge monologue/song.
I think Queen's Somebody to Love would be awesome in the minor key
Such a great suggestion. Thank you!
Someone already put a minor version out. Although, it’s only Freddie's vocals and the piano.
@@chaseholfelder still waiting :)
@@chaseholfelder would love to hear this
This should be played in an action movie like the scene where after loosing all hope the hero gets the will to fight back and does a badass walk to this song
"Long time antagonistic character sacrifices themselves to save the main cast"
Or
"Long time bully like main character goes to the "antag side" to protect the one they love and ends up sacrificing themselves at the end"
Idk lol
Reiner Braun and Eren Yeager of Attack On Titan,
This could fit right into the ending of Loki season 2 haha
The lyric that really sticks with me is "I've found a reason to show, a side of me you didn't know, a reason for all that I do, and the reason is you" that is so powerful and I can relate to that so much it makes me cry
Me too 😥😅
Ya know this could be a wonderful theme song for Villain Izuku. Like it seriously fits him, the way he transitioned to the evil side, feels a bit guilty but still stays a villain to prove something. Gosh I love your covers!
Thank you! I am not the only one!
Or just him telling Bakugou "You're the reason I'm a villain."
I can't believe this song wasn't in a minor key to begin with!
I know! It made the transition so easily to the minor key.
it feels defiant, more hopeful than the original, ironic given alot of your other tracks :)
my thoughts!!!
Exactly what I was thinking! Minor key made this song less dark/sad rather than more. Weird!
This song became epic through the minor key when before it struck me as rather whiny.
Your songs are fucking incredible, stumbled across your channel the other night and I can't stop listening :X
+FiberOpticification thank you!
Chase Holfelder yes. I found you by accident as well. I think your voice is gorgeous and I absolutely love your style. My request is Learning to Walk Again by the Foo Fighters.
Your a music GOD bro this is awesome
you should do creep by radio head in a minor key
Love that one!
homeless mustard did a pretty good off-key version of this
hell yes he should
chase please fucking do creep that would sound amazing
Sadpants McGee Yeah. But damn good!
Could you please do "The Sound of Silence"?
I would also love to hear anything by Three Days Grace, I am Machine, etc.
Golden Carter The sound of silence cover by disturbed??? Yaaaaass!!
I wasn't sure if that one was already in minor, but either one works for me.
Another good one would be Forever by Papa Roach, IMO.
Golden Carter oooo, yeah! That one would be good!
I mean, Paul Simon's part in The Sound of Silence is already in minor. On top of the major instrumental, mind you.
It’s been so amazing to watch how you’ve changed over the past couple of years. And I’m not talking about your music or your voice, which has always been spectacular. I mean how you started off as a cute, shy, and innocent looking, big-blue-eyed smiling young guy, and how you’ve changed your hair and are maturing into one fine hot looking dude! Keep it coming!
You know, I never like covers more than the original songs... but your covers... OH. MY. GOD.
I always end up enjoying your minor key renditions more than the originals! Keep up the amazing work. I can't wait to see what's next.
Hawksley Jeske same c: I'm addicted to his versions of songs now
his version of dangerous woman blew my mind.
I can just see Harley Quinn jumping off the ledge into the vat of acid for Joker through this song. Love it! Amazing job!
Yas honey, putting that in my head, thank you, much love💀💛
Best reference, yet. ❤️🖤💜💚💛
LOVE THIS SONG! And, Chase, once again, you have blown me away with your transcribing powers from major to minor! Epic chills!
Just a heads up that the song is available for purchase on iTunes now! You can download it here ➡️ apple.co/2cS6zUQ
Thanks for all of the kind words :-) What song should I do next??
I love your work Chase!!! I think you're amazingly talented! Keep doing your thing!!
p.s. did Ariana Grande ever comment on your cover of Dangerous Woman? If she didn't, it's because yours is 10X better! I can't tell you how many times I had that one on repeat. I can never just listen to it once!! Much 💜!!
He should totally do Stars, from Les Miserables
"Stars" would be awesome! I also recommend "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera. Turning songs from a major key into a minor key is creative and really shows a new perspective, so keep up the great work :D
Moonage Daydream or Space Oddity from David Bowie!
Can you do Death of a Bachelor by P!ATD or Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance?
I'd like to see him do Death of a Bachelor but Black parade is already in a minor key.
yes plz yes plz yes plz
oh man that'd be awesome! or maybe Crazy = Genius? hmmm. or LA Devotee? idk but Death of a Bachelor would be amazing.
Peter Payne It's an upbeat rock song, it's in major. But either way he's done regular covers too
I had not heard it in ages. My apologies, it is in major. It might be better in minor. Of all their songs I prefer most of them over The Black Parade. He might make it better
I look forward to your covers more than any other RUclips musician. Minor key is so chilling, my absolute favorite & your voice is just so perfect to execute all of these major to minor covers. Another brilliant composition! Please keep it up!
Some Nights by FUN please. I love your work
Agreed.
Sirnight Damaxan PLEASE!
SO MUCH YES
fifth here
yessssssssss
The beginning sounds like an awesome dramatic anime opening XD I love it lolz
Minor key usually gives your covers a creepy/sad tone. This one turns out to be really epic ! Goes right into my top 5 of your songs.
Do something by panic! at the disco it would sound incredible
I think P!atd has minor songs already
I would love 'This Is Gospel'!
The End Of All Things by Panic! would be AMAZING in minor key!
Cat ❤ not that one, that one should remain pure, unstained
That was incredible and chilling to the soul wow 😮
I feel like I can hear you doing a perfect rendition of "Circle of Life" from Lion King in a nice dark Em.
You'd think I'd stop having such visceral reactions to your music, after some amount of time...nope! Still get WAVES of chills. Your talent is stunning!!!

Wow. Your voice is really strong man! Excellent work! Have you tried doing other Disney songs for your Major to Minor series?
he did Kiss The Girl from The Little Mermaid :3
LucyTodd13 *other. I know he did Kiss the Girl. It was awesome.
I'd really like to here "Be like you" from the Jungle book or ANY of the Villains' songs.
I am not a fan of some of the original songs you cover, to the point to where I haven't listened to the words. You have given them life in my heart. I can't stop listening
YES I'VE NEVER CLICKED ON A NOTIFICATION SO QUICKLY
Whiteytheripper SAME
true story
i found this in my recommended list.. idk how...but youtube knows me well
oml Saem c:
You are officially my favorite musician. I've been following you for a couple of years now and every song you interpret ( especially major to minor- what a great idea) is just so absolutely flabbergasting. All the best and thank you!
Your voice is seriously one of THE BEST things I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Thank you. Bless you.
I love how extremely cinematic this cover is. Astounding job!!!
I'd LOVE to hear you cover I Put A Spell On you. A little late for Halloween but its one of my favorite songs so I'm gonna request it anyway.
I always love these major to minor covers, this one feels like the hero of a movie or something having this emotional battle with their dark side and their love.
I'm not a perfect person
There's many thing I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
This is my favorite song, so weird to hear it in the minor key. You’re so fluffing talented! Oh my gosh
It is currently 10pm and I just stumbled across this song. I do not care what the time is I have still sent it to my mum to listen to when she wakes up tomorrow. This was our favourite song on Singstar and our favourite song in general back in the day. Thank you 🙌🏼

OMG yes!

could you do "Burn" from Hamilton (or any others from the musical) I really love your music!
I would cry
That would be nice but... It's already in minor ;-;
what about you'll be back? that'd be pretty sweet in minor
Oh yes please :'3
I've showed this and many other songs to my family and we all LOVE it! The music is strong and captivating and his voice is glorious!
2:24-2:31 I see what you did there! Genius! :) :)
voiceappeal what's that?
If you listen closely, at 2:14 he sings to the g minor chord. But when that part is repeated, G mayor plays and then fades into g minor. Which makes it sound epic.
haha thats okay I'm just kind of a music nerd and hear stuff like that right away :D
voiceappeal yeah i noticed that too i love when he does little things that he usually doesnt do like how he started what a wonderful world in a lower octave
As a fellow music/band nerd, I totally loved that, too!! It was so unexpected and caused some chills.
Ahhh I absolutely love this song! Great to hear a different spin on it, I'm gonna have to go and listen to the original now!!
it turns to creepy genre and also like psychopath love story thing. I love it! 💓
I was walking through your channel and I saw the cover of this song, I did not think for a second to see it,
I definitely love this song, it reminds me of a very special person and it makes me cry what was his destiny.
But enough stories, the cover is great !!
So many of your songs sound like they should be in movie/tv trailers.
This song will never ever get old. I used to listen to it all the time as a teenager. Hey, I really like your version/cover. You have the amazing ability to recreate songs.
Please do Death of a Bachelor by Panic! at the disco. or heathens by 21 pilots
Heathens is already in a minor key, but Death of a Bachelor is normally in a major key, so that would be cool to see in minor!
I should have known that lol.
21 -.-
Can I just say that you're an amazing musician. As a music composer myself I really enjoy your arrangements for all the songs you've done. I have been subscribed for a long time but I thought I should actually comment. Thank you for working so hard. You have a great talent that is much appreciated!!
how do you not have more subscribers!! You should have millions!
This is my favorite song... and I didn't know it could possibly be performed any better. I'm sitting here crying. This was beautifully done.
i still think he should audition on The Voice.
I'd vote for him asf
yesss oml
tiger.kitten.91 this guy would cream everyone no need
No the shows are rigged
Still exposure! How do you think Lindsey Stirling boosted her RUclips Watchers?
had the original song stuck in my head for the last hour at work, and on my break I see this. Gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the night now lol
I got goosebumps.. YOU ARE AMAZING..
I LOVE IT. I am in Color guard and this is our performance music this season. We heard it for the first time today and the majority of the squad cried. I love it so so much!
This is EVERYTHING! I am completely mesmerized by that song. It totally sounds so much more sad and makes it seem like maybe he killed the girl he's singing about. I just love this. And you have such a great voice. I hope you keep making amazing music. I will definitely watch more videos. Can't wait to see what you create next!!!!
So chase was suggested to me by a friend as a teacher of music. Lately he has been showing up in "my mix" - I loved his "fireworks" cover, but this song is beyond that. This is how the original song should have been. I will never be able to hear the original ever again without thinking this cover is much better.
AWESOME!!!! So glad you did this, and you did so beautifully. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
+Lynllie happy you like it! :)
You really don't know how thrilled I was to discover you. Haha. Seriously, I have always thought, "You know, (insert various song here) would be really good if they did it in a minor key," and suddenly, here's someone who does that!! :-D Keep it up man, you got mad skills and such a great voice. Btw, your rendition of "Somewhere over the rainbow" blew my mind. *rolls eyes* You just don't know. I am not a screamer when excited, but I actually did shout, "What?! OMG!" when I heard that song for the first time.
Chase!!!! This is soooooooo gooooooooooood! I was listening to the original when I saw you had uploaded this. It made me so happy! Continue making awesome covers.
Your music has been inspiration for a novel I'm working on. These songs set the PERFECT emotional stance for so many.
If I get these published, I would be curious what you think about how I use your work to influence my own.
OMFG. It's so rare i watch all videos of a channel, but dude...you are incredible!! First time here i was like "pff, ok. just sing in a lower key? meh", but you change the music and it becomes GREAT!
Just congratulations from Brazil. The world should know you!
Could you cover "Hurts like Hell" by Fleurie or "Headlock" by Imogen Heap please? I would love it so much!! :D
I am addicted to your version of songs! They are amazing!
Chase. i've been waiting MONTHS. pleaaaase do a cover of "my favorite things"! your covers are great but your voice would fit beautifully with that song!
Is it a major or minor song?
That song is already in E minor.
it's in E Major.
Chase. you are awesome and your voice is incredible! keep up the good work!
2:17 I absolutely love your music, I know alot of the songs are covers but I fall in love with each and every one all over again! You make them sound a little different but in my opinion, they are so much more beautiful in your voice and emotion!!! ❤❤❤ your #1 fan, Kimberly Diaz
Amazing once again. You never stop to amaze.
20 seconds in and love it! Can't wait to hear what you have next! I love your major to minor covers! Everytime I hear any song in major with sad/depressing lyrical content, I try to imagine it in minor.
perfect !
Thanks!
This made me just realize why I love minor key. I love the original song a lot, but this gives it this dark, slightly mysterious Evanescence vibe. It also ultimately sounds more painful (emotional). Gives me goosebumps, very well done.
Love this cover. You should do Maroon 5 "She will be loved"
This Minor Key versions of songs are indescribable, they are so amazing. This is so cool, thank you for blessing us with your music.
will be on repeat for a while
Oh this is marvelous. Much more melancholy.
I think it would be really cool to hear "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten in a minor key.
Holy shit .... I love this song. I'm so happy you made it in a minor version. I love it so much. made me cry
*crying* now it's even more tragic
Every song that you cover is just amazing. Oh my god I keep listening to this. Amazingwork man. Just wow!
fucking amazing man......
ur voice is fucking touching.........
+palash reja thank you!
Chase Holfelder can you try hotel California please 😊💖
thank you for sharing this. It gave me a distraction for nearly 5 min. I just loss my father yesterday. so in away this song kind of hits home. I'm not proud of the way I was a daughter to him, but now that he is gone I'm going to try and make him proud.
These minor key versions are my favourite ♥
I am absolutely IN LOVE with your version of this song. I loved it before, I love it more now
Please cover "Take Me to Church" by Hozier
:D
thank god you put this in a minor key, Chase, cause you made it sound a MILLION times better. this is just one of those songs I've loathed since it came out, but I'm in love with this cover - as I am with all of your covers. the minor arrangement, your voice, just everything, makes this sound amazing ♡
Some of the lyrics make me think of a story where a killer (yandere) fell in love with a girl and tried to kill everyone close to her, but after seeing her reaction to finding her loved ones he decided to try and change so he didn't have to see her tears. Now I want to write a story of that. In any case I love your music, you must be so musically gifted and very skilled to adapt these songs into a more chilling version that haunts you, even after days of not listening to them.
It's not just "cool" or better than the original. It sounds sincere. Unlike the original (which I've just googled), where the regret about hurting the others sounds like " probably I was bad so I can say 'sorry' and now I feel much better, OK thanx bye" haha.
BTW, this version remindes me of the Finnish band called The Rasmus (one of my favs). Thanx to you, now I know most of their songs are made in Minor Key :)
You're really amazing.
Still waiting for "Fool who ripped his pants"
i saw what the members of Hoobastank tweeted in response to this version... *AMAZING* and very well deserved ;) congrats Chase.
OH MY GOD WHEN I SAW THE TITLE :OOO I've been listening Hoobastank since i'm 8 :O
Best ever. Chase, you've carried this song to its outer limits. The things you can do as a one-man show -- it's just staggering.
Could you do a Christmas song in MINOR?!? 💙 (like Jingle bells or whatever... ) plzzzz!
Like if you agree!
Santa Claus is coming to town would be a way creepier choice I'd like to hear that one
How about Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer?
That would be scary!
He already did two of them.
Well I suggested god rest ye merry gentlemen, but I'm not sure if that one's in minor key already.
Yes. YES. FREAKING YES!. One of my favorite songs plus your voice....FREAKING YES!
