Quite so, to me it sounds something between 60s orchestral proto prog, Think of me with kindness by Gentle Giant (not in their typical style), a sad song from the first 2 Queen LPs, and above all modern indie / alternative.
I'm feeling Emerson, Lake and Palmer. That or something Steven Wilson would release now. (And after reading some other comments, I'm hearing Yes, too.)
IMO Yes vocals were quite different. Again IMHO, their most acclaimed music was much more based on massive bass foundations, with layers of vocals, orchestrations and acrobatic guitar, and to a lesser degree layers of keyboards and top tier drums. Actually Yes had a forgotten 1st phase of simpler symphonic pop based on folk and beat; then they started switching to the classical inspired technical rock suite that made they -boring- ...ehm, famous in the US and that still prevent most rock/pop audience to dig deeper on prog; after the prog craze ended (and most 70s rock became "fat", self-satisfied and excessive) they went back to an underrated more rock and more accessible period, with hints of Berlin school and proto new age. This song could remind very early Yes and all that (often orchestral) period of bands like Galliard, Skip Bifferty, Nirvana, etc. Not my cup of tea but forgotten and still historically meaningful.
I've instantly thought to Steven Wilson. This negative harmony version actually sounds alternative with 60s prog and psych influences (not distant from Radioactive Toy by Porcupine Tree). I've read an interview (circa 2016?) where he declared that he started as a darkwave listener and that he still loved his proto-alternative roots even after becoming a neo-neo-prog / psych inspired heavy art rock / atmospheric rock artist (95% of what -using an American perspective- nowadays is called prog, would never ever be considered progressive rock before the 90s).
Wow maybe it’s just me; but negative harmony “Here Comes The Sun” has a night-time vibe. That’s so cool, because the original sounds exactly like music for a bright sunny day
@@katherinecusack164 On that album, there is a song called 'Soft Hearted Hana', which the lyrics tells the truth of how The Beatles replaced Paul in 1966.
@@matswessling6600 with the motion of the melody and harmony reversed, the feel of the song and notes are changed quite a bit. The tension, however, is more or less unaffected by this.

Actually symmetry in general does this. Any musical structure will always have the exact same symmetrical image about any axis, albeit in different keys. What's now called "Negative Harmony" is symmetry around a very specific axis so that the image ends up being in the parallel minor, aka the diatonic key a minor third up from the original diatonic key. Except, as it turns out, the diatonic scale happens to already be symmetrical around one single axis, which happens to pass through the second degree of the ionian mode (and coincidentally the #5/b6 because it's a tritone away), so for example through D (and G#/Ab) in C major / A minor. So any axis can be named in reference to a diatonic key. If you have a musical structure that is diatonic to C for example, and you find its image about the axis of C, the resulting image will be diatonic to... well C. It'll be the same image as with Negative Harmony, but diatonic to the original key. Negative Harmony actually is the image of your original structure about the axis of the key that is a half-flat 2nd above the original key. So if your original key is C, for example, Negative Harmony flips the notes about the axis of D half-flat (and coincidentally G half-sharp), which passes through E half-flat (and coincidentally A half-sharp), so that the result will be diatonic to the key of Eb, which is the parallel minor of C. Edit: typo ("parralel")
@@avijitthapar7149 maybe. but is not a coherent pattern: the origonal harmony forms a flow going in the ame direction like big waves: an consisten intenal logic. This version goes nowhere, its like waves in a busy harbour.. no logic to them, goes everywhere..
Oh man, this went from a song of unbridled happiness into a strangely melancholy tune. It's like the sun is coming, but as a somber inevitability rather than a glorious event. Like the melodic embodiment of the phrase "this too shall pass." Here comes the sun. And there goes the moon. I love it.
i get the exact opposite. it's hopeful but from a place of muted joy rather than sadness. almost a bit of disbelief. " it feels like years since it's been here, " feels especially expressive, ending with a highnote, somewhat questioning and somber
to me it feels like the sun is coming out and its a beautiful day, but something really dramatic just happened, like you just went to your mums funeral
A lot of these negativity harmony reinterpretations are fascinating experiments, but I am absolutely floored by how much better this one is than the original.

These covers are always so weird to me because, if we look at them separately from the originals, I’m never sure what the cover is trying to make me feel and I think that gives them such a unique vibe.
one of the reasons i'm not a fan of the original Here Comes The Sun is because of how incessantly joyful it is... i rarely feel that way in my real life, and when i do it's NEVER because a song told me that things are good and happy. demand avoidance comes into play here. that and the sheer amount of times i've heard the song against my will, even decades after its initial release, just give it a very fake, corporate feel. perhaps that's just my fear and nihilism getting in the way of enjoyment, idk. this version is so much more interesting to me. it's not necessarily joyful, it's not necessarily melancholic, it's not necessarily mysterious or brooding. it CAN be all of those things, but it's never ONLY one of those things. it's a mixture of sounds and emotions that interact in a unique way, a way that may never have been thought of if Steve never started making these negative harmony covers. that mixture of emotions better reflects the reality of life than the beat-you-over-the-head-with-happiness of the OG. ofc we all need a bit of escapism, and i fully understand why people are drawn to this song and others like it. to me though, this version is simply more intriguing because it's not any one thing, and it's not trying to be; it's just whatever sound happens to come out of flipping the harmonies of the original
@@pizzzaeater1425Wow, really glad you shared this with me as it’s a rather controversial yet nuanced take. It’s been a while since I’ve thought about this cover but I was listening to the original yesterday. Both very nice songs imo.

On the final chord of this track you can hear the beginning of While My Guitar Gently Weeps acoustic version. Just magic
I remember years ago having an argument with my brother that "right handedness" is just an artifact of modern design. I proved that if I write with my left hand but use a mirror image of normal writing, when looked at in the mirror it is just as good as my regular writing. Then at his suggeston I try to play fur elise on the piano as a mirror image. I found this s bit tricky at first, but after getting used to the sound, it became quite easy, as I just played the right hand part (but as a mirror image) on my left hand, and played the left hand part with my right hand (but as a mirror image). We were both amazed at the results. I then tried various other pieces (dream of olwen, Misty, Rhapsody in Blue), always with amazing results. It became a bit of a party trick for me then. I'd play the mirror image of a piano piece and have people try to guess what it is.
This version sounds so much emotional and epic than the original, its incredible how only aply a simple rule to one amazing song can make other amazing song hahaha

These covers are always so weird to me because, if we look at them separately from the originals, I’m never sure what the cover is trying to make me feel and I think that gives them such a unique vibe.
one of the reasons i'm not a fan of the original Here Comes The Sun is because of how incessantly joyful it is... i rarely feel that way in my real life, and when i do it's NEVER because a song told me that things are good and happy. demand avoidance comes into play here. that and the sheer amount of times i've heard the song against my will, even decades after its initial release, just give it a very fake, corporate feel. perhaps that's just my fear and nihilism getting in the way of enjoyment, idk.
this version is so much more interesting to me. it's not necessarily joyful, it's not necessarily melancholic, it's not necessarily mysterious or brooding. it CAN be all of those things, but it's never ONLY one of those things. it's a mixture of sounds and emotions that interact in a unique way, a way that may never have been thought of if Steve never started making these negative harmony covers. that mixture of emotions better reflects the reality of life than the beat-you-over-the-head-with-happiness of the OG. ofc we all need a bit of escapism, and i fully understand why people are drawn to this song and others like it. to me though, this version is simply more intriguing because it's not any one thing, and it's not trying to be; it's just whatever sound happens to come out of flipping the harmonies of the original

I need it on Spotify so badly ☹️💞
bro amazing is like hearing a new beatles song 😍😭
Makes me think of a Death Cab song!! Really beautiful reinterpretation.
A bit like Sufjan too!!
I love this cover. It sounds beautiful, and it makes me cry for reasons I cannot articulate.
I keep coming back to this one
Your channel is freaking awesome. Your work is understated, you are extremely skilled and it's just inspiring. I love listening to these negative harmony covers because they give me more perspectives to appreciate my favourite music. Please continue making these (when you can/want ofc) 🙏🙏🙏
This is so awesome. I love it.
so amazing steve. one of your best yet!
I absolutely love this ❤
This sounds as if it refers to the uneasy acceptance of the inevitability of an ancient god arising to gift happiness in exchange for the life of a small child... great work!
Rather specific
@@BionicDirector117 :D
this is in F# minor i think but it has a flavor of the relative phrygian before it resolves. i think that's where you're getting that vibe, because it does sound like you're about to be executed for ritual sacrifice in some parts
Creative writing. A specific imagination is a well trained one@@BionicDirector117
Interesting vocal performance..
