      When you were here before. I could look you in the eye. You’re just like an angel. Your skin makes me smile. You float like a feather, in a beautiful world.
      You make me feel special. We’re so very special.
      I’m not a creep. I’m not a weirdo. I know exactly what I’m doing here. I do belong here.
      You’ve healed all my wounds. You’ve helped me take control. We’re together in our bodies.
      Together in our souls.
      I know you would notice, if weren’t around.
      You make me feel special. We’ve got something special.
      I’m not a creep. I’m not a weirdo . I know exactly what I’m doing here. I do belong here.
      We’re flying up so high! Flying up so high! We fly, fly, fly, fly FLY!!
      Whatever makes you happy. Whatever you want.
      You’re so very special. You make me feel special.
      I’m not a creep. I’m not a weirdo. I know exactly what we’re doing here. I do belong here. We do belong here.

    Some 25 years ago a flute playing friend of mine and I, playing guitar, noticed that songs with a lot of #'s were a lot easier to play if he ignored three of them, thus making it minor. We took Bye Bye Love, played it in minor only instrumentally, started playing it slower and claimed we were doing a "New Hebrew Folk Song". The audience didn't recognise it until we sped up. Was a lot of fun.

    I really liked the way the melody interacted with the G chord in this new version of "Don't Stop Believin'." When he sings "anywhere" he now sings a major 7th over the chord. Very pretty.
    By the way, maybe the title of the minor key version should be called "Stop Believin'"? Or just "Give up Hope"? And "Here Comes the Sun" should be "There Goes the Moon."

    For some reason I've always favored the natural minor/Aeolian mode over the harmonic minor. Not sure why, but that cooler, more melancholic sound just appeases my ears more than harmonic resolution.
    That being said, while I do like the harmonic minor versions of the Beatles' songs, I feel like "Don't Stop Believin'" would work much better in the natural minor. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the song uses the Axis progression that you have mentioned in previous videos (I-V-vi-IV). Transposing that to i-V-VI-iv, I feel like it throws off that natural balance between major and minor within the progression itself. I-V-vi-IV has a nice even flow to it, so I think transposing it to its exact opposite (i-v-IV-iv) would be much smoother. Just my opinion. Up for debate though!

    I was relieved when you mentioned the D Major in "House of the Rising Sun". It's an important chord, because it's one of those non-diatonic chords (okay, it's fine for A Minor Harmonic, but there's also an F chord in there). You really do have an eye for detail and seem to miss nothing.

    One of the reasons I started watching TH-cam music theory channels a few years ago was to break out of the natural minor rut that I’d been in for decades, and try some modes and harmonic approaches that could broaden my palette. But I have to say that I prefer your minor key versions to the major originals, so I guess Aeolian still just feels like home to me!

    One Christmas when I was a teenager, I was feeling in a foul mood because all of my friends were busy doing family stuff, which my family wasn't exactly good at. I went to my faithful Commodore 64, loaded up some composition software, and entered that classic "Surly One Morning". It helped to get the grumpiness out of my system.

    I’ve always been curious as to how a full cannon in d minor would sound like. After fiddling around with my friends we actually reached a very satisfactory rendition of the song, with all of its nuances and all, but also sounding really sad due to the minor scale. Our best arrangement to date in my opinion

    5:07 you should change the finals here to Dm/F - A/E - A and gives it more closure. Flows so much better than F#m - A - E - A.

    I listened to the theme of "Nightmare on Elm Street" in Major key once, and it was the most victorious progression I've heard in ages, worthy of being in a Final Fantasy game.

    Ghost did that to "Here Comes The Sun" but changed it to G minor rather than A minor. I recommend a listen. sounds lovely.

    Hey David, great video as usual. Maybe you could expand on this idea for a future video. Using the same song you could go through all the seven modes and demonstrate how each scale has a specific feel. We would need a song with a relatively complex melody and or harmony but it would be very interesting.

    That version of Here Comes The Sun in natural minor sounds a lot like an Arctic Monkeys song. Gotta love how such a minor change has such an impact on the vibe.

    I'm an amateur chorister and this winter, when one of my choirs was rehearsing Händel's Messiah, we joked about the Halelujah chorus in the minor key. A few minutes of experiments showed that that can work well.

    Haaa! A lot of the music I write is in Mixolydian because I just like it, it fits my vibes well. Do you want to hazard a guess of what my very first "favorite" song was? Yep, Love Me Do. I was 6 years old when I fell in love with that song. This explains so much...

    Will you do a video Introduction to jazz theory, or how to make piano solo, or how to improvise anytime? I know that there are many videos about that, but your videos are so understandable and perfect always.
