this is absolutely the soundtrack to driving in a city late at night in the mist, trying to solve a hardboiled crime where your last lead was just found dead
I strangely actually loved this. The things is, no matter how you do it, Steve is the man for the job. His voice is magical and it's gonna sound perfect.
These upside down harmonies are my new favorite way to freak my friends out, but also so many of them turn out genuinely enjoyable to listen to -- like a whole new batch of brand new songs to enjoy that still have some sort of tether to already-existing classics! I also love seeing other comments giving their interpretations on what the negative harmonies feel like, because everyone seems to have something different to say.... Also idk if you take requests but if you do: "Paris 1919" by John Cale I feel like would be interesting to do a negative harmony version of. (Plus I've been obsessed with that song lately)
i feel like i should be training for the epic underground dance battle challenge that all the elite dance academy scouts will be at to find their next full scholarship student.
The hero has defeated the evil, but people have died and he is leaving with his leather jacket on his motorbike as the night is still here. As he leaves and starts driving the sun slowly rises over the horizon and this song plays.
What would the phonetic names of those chords be? I have a super elementary concept/barely a grasp on music theory or how to read or write proper music. In the key of Amaj, the "I" would be A, II=B, III=C, and so on yeah? Or if the key is in Cm, the i=Cm, ii=Dm, iii=Em, etc... ? But in cases where the numerals are just written without any indication to what alphabetic denomination to tell the read what key it starts in, e.g., as you wrote "i-iv-bVI-v" /minor one, minor four, flat major 6th, minor five (I at least know that LC=minor and UPC=major haha), but anyway, again, without the "key", like "i-iv-bVI-v in the key of-idk, any random key-Am, juat say for the sake of using example to try to explain what i have in my head; without the alphabetic key denomination being listed along with the numerical key denominations, how does the reader seem to automatically know what key to start thinking and playing in?
@@BillBraskyy Chord outlines are mostly just for showing the *shape* of songs. I-V-vi-IV sounds the same no matter what key it is, just in a different pitch. Finding the key is just a matter of identifying the (I) chord, which is usually the first chord ever played in the song, then you just have to use your ear to figure out what note that is and the rest fall into place.
This is seriously intriguing and amazing. Such different emotions evoked with the new notes.. Its like listening the same band that wrote their music in an alternate reality. The Music Multiverse.
this is so creative and tbh kind of surprising that a lot of these negative harmonies actually sound good. I wonder how you do it, surely there's a program or plugin you run it though to get this kind of result, I can't imaging you pitch shifting every beat to match correctly. I heard you don't do requests so I won't ask but I'll just mention the song 'breaking the girl' by RHCP to get it off my mind because it's been an earworm for me recently.
The root note of breaking the girl is E4. So that is 0 Find the sheet music, and on a piece of paper, convert every note to a number which is the distance from E4 So if it's 3 notes higher, it's 3. If it's 3 notes lower, it's negative 3 When you're done, reverse the signs, so positives are negatives and vice versa Convert back to musical notes Give to a musician friend and ask them to play it It would take a long time, but you could do that, even if you don't know anything about music. If it's niggling at your brain, could be a fun project
Like some... Tragic Dark Love Story. Like a woman falls in love with Dracula, but Dracula's 'like no I'm an evil monster', and she's like no you can be better. And its this battle for her to get through to him as he tries to redeem himself, but cant help his monstrous urges. Itd work as the theme song to Castlevania basically is what Im saying
"Don't. Stop believing."
Underrated comment, great.
Thank you

It does in fact say Gopyaiel. Whatever you do, don’t read his name aloud.
If you say Gopyaiel 3 times...
Well, just don't 🫡
you might be a halfblood

Ngl, this version is actually an awesome vibe. Not every negative harmony cover is something I'd listen to but this... this is just *chefs kiss*
usually the better ones are the ones which are originally in a major key
For once, I prefer this to the original!
Instantly my favourite negative harmony (along with Somewhere over the rainbow).
I need to hear more with this vibe. I wonder what it would take to make something original like this. As a concept it hits deep.
just compose something then transpose it using negative harmony!@@FraserX
Song 2 goes minor to major, and it's fantastic. I realise you weren't saying it never goes that way, but just wanted to note it. @MrGanso-wh1dk
The logical follow-up to this would be More than a Feeling.
Don't you mean "less than a thought"
Don't stop believin's gone from an affirmation to a beg of utter desperation.

The “on and on” part sounded incredible. Especially the guitar
How can a song sound even more 80s than it already was?
Can you do don't fear the reaper, blue oyster cult?

How dramatic! Excellent work.
Exact word that came to mind for me, too. It's just dramatic as hell.
Yeah, sounds like it'd be in a musical like West Side Story or something, lol
Seriously... this song is sick. Something about the epic tunes of this song just translate really well into an equally epic negative cover.
I always knew that there was a badass side to this song... You can REALLY see it here!
This is unironically fire.
It just hits all the right spots
Just stop believing.
Damn what an art piece!! This can pass as a Ghost Song, more like "Doubting" - Ghost

I'm obsessed with this. It's a problem
What a banger!
sounds like the part in a movie where the mc has to face an opponent or do a task and there's a very tense deadline, and they're rushing to win.
This is what the song would sound like if South Detroit were real (i live in Michigan)
Hall And Oates Out Of Touch would make for an interesting song in negative harmony.
It's no longer an uplifting cheer, it's a warning. Don't stop believing. At all costs, please don't.
This is seriously intriguing and amazing.
Such different emotions evoked with the new notes..
Its like listening the same band that wrote their music in an alternate reality. The Music Multiverse.
This is such a genius idea. Please keep it up!
The buildup and release at the 1:20 was.... *Wow*
I love you, man.
I'm begging ya man, put these on spotify.
Wow... just wow. Awesome work!
Damn, new Dream Theatre sounds wild
Phantom of the Opera style
meatloaf song , anything id do for love
This sounds more mysterious.
Ah, yes, “Don’t Stop Giving Up” by Journey.
This is like a Guns n Roses track if they had Queen in the studio during production giving Axl singing tips
can you do The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani?
Please do Mr Blue Sky by ELO
After having heard the normal version too many times, this is better.
Wow. First time saying thos, but this version actually might be better than the original 😮
F*ck!!! This version sounds much more epic and dramatic! The evil version of Journey is dark and gloomy!

For some reason it makes we want to keep believing more than the original does.

Have you seen Steve Smith discuss the four drum parts?
