Chase Holfelder. Most people who can't sing dogs like this sing it anyways and it doesn't sound very good but you slowed it down and then sped it back up and it sounded amazing! Gained a subscriber! 👍
I love this cover! Listening to it, I sort of imagine the "protagonist" of the song dealing with some kind of horrible depression, things in his life are all going terribly and it's getting harder and harder to deny the darkness in his mind, so he's desperately scrambling to hold onto happiness while it's falling apart around him. It's late and I'm tired. -.-
I howled at the moon with friends And then the sun came crashing in Wo-o-o-o-o-oh But all the possibilities No limits just epiphanies Wo-o-o-o-o-oh I'm never gonna look back No-oh I'm never gonna give it up Whoa-oh Please, don't wake me now This is gonna be the best day of my life My life My life This is gonna be the best day of my life My life My life I had a dream so big and loud I jumped so high I touched the clouds Wo-o-o-o-o-oh I stretched my hands out to the sky We danced like monsters through the night Wo-o-o-o-o-oh I'm never gonna look back Whoa-oh I'm never gonna give it up No-oh Please don't wake me now This is going to be the best day of my life My life This is going to be the best day of my life My life
From a musician's standpoint... you're freaking awesome. Your voice is so smooth, but it has such power when you sing and just. Whoa. Thank you so much for making these videos. Your voice is perfect for such minor chords like these.
Wow. Holy shit. Petition to make a musical filled with major to minor songs? They take such a deeper meaning and id lOve to see something like this on sage
This song gives me the image of someone who will soon commit a murder and is starting to piece the plan together while reveling in a pre-murderous adrenaline rush
Everyone's like "this makes me think of someone about to commit murder" I'm like "this makes me think of someone about to commit suicide" Well there I go automatically going with the more angsty version rather than creepy. *rolls eyes*
I thought of a whole story to go with this version of it. The gist of it was: person is about to declare love to their s/o so they take the other person out on a big day thing; s/o has some big news to tell first; s/o is going to die soon; s/o dies; original person thinks about committing suicide.
Comrade 269 OH MY GOSH. "This is gonna be the best day of my life"JUST PLAYED AFTER I READ THAT AND I'M SEEING THAT. SONG VERSION OF A SUICIDE NOTE. HOLY SHIT
I made up two little stories to go with this song. 1: the person singing is actually in a dream, and after having fun realised it was a dream but enjoys it far more than their actual life so they decide they want to stay there forever, even if its only a day longer. Or maybe 2: someone realises they are terminally ill and so wants to do everything they wanted to do in their last day. They want to have fun but they cant help but feel bitter and upset at their lack of time. Ultimately they realise that they , in trying to be happy their last few moments, ended up trying to force themselves to try and live their happy fantasies instead of enjoying their last day to the fulliest like they wanted and on their deathbed they lament about it. Just my takes on it, let me know any stories you have and share it with each other as well. Dont forget to stay hydrated and have a nice day :)
+Christopher Brown it's so true . I looked up song minor to major songs on TH-cam and I found Losing My Religion by R.E.M. ... I laughed out loud reading the comment of how it sounded like a cheesy theme song for a sitcom.
I love this version so much more than the original. This one sounds like it's telling of a person who is desperate for a break in his life, as if nothing's been going right and he's determined to make today worth living. It's absolutely brilliant.
After listening to all of these amazing renditions of popular music I suddenly have the urge to listen to all of my music in minor. Keep up the amazing music making. Wishing you the best!!
It's amazing how a happy song can sound so beautifully twisted and evil.. It sounds like a psychopath is planning to do something that'll make him really freaking happy xD
While others hear murder or villianous, I hear someone who had a good life, until everything crashed down around them, and while they're suffering, each day they're trying to convince themself that they can turn it around, that it'll be okay and they can make a good day from the worst of situations. Someone that's drowning and trying their best to keep their head above water.
The tone is set, the mood is somber. A young exiled princess has painted her face with woad, tonight she takes her kingdom back with blood and fire- her 7 companions ready to slay all in their way.
This song is beautifully haunting in minor key.... to me it almost comes across as if one were singing that it would be the best day of their life, as well as their last.
This would be the perfect song to play over a movie trailer for a Werewolf: The Forsaken film. It's exciting and haunting and the lyrics fit surprisingly well when viewed through that lens.
I am, literally, in love with every major to minor. I'm a big fan of minor keys and the dissonance generally present. And your voice. I mean...just...amazing.
+Chase Holfelder Somebody To Love by Queen? To me, the song always sounded far too upbeat for the lyrics. Plus, I think you could probably have some fun with Queen's love of those fantastic harmonies. :-D
An orphan boy who lives in a town of people who shun and hate him and throw him out because he has magic abilities, beating him and destroying his sanity. Eventually he finally snaps and sets all the town on fire with his magic and sings this while doing so, watching everyone die and burn with hatred in his eyes. Now becoming a vengeful villain
I always find it so cool how you end the chorus on a major chord before the ensemble concludes the song as it fades out with the chords back in minor. :D It's a terrific touch!
Just blew me away with that song... utterly amazing. Well done on the feature this weekend. Now the fuse has been lit.. we're gonna see you shoot for the sky and shower us with more of your amazing talent. Looking forward to seeing you reap the rewards of all that hard work. Keep amazing us all Chase!
As a passive aggressive and very repressed person who always ends up doing things I don't want to I really dig this cover. 'this is gonna be the best day of my life' I say as I roll my eyes and die a little bit more inside.
YOu never cease to amaze me how talented you are. I am happy to hear your getting recognition for your talents and will look forward to watching the Sunday Night Football.
I think this might be one of my favorite covers you've done so far. Love your voice, and love how original you get with these major to minors. :) Keep on keepin' on!
HOLY FUDGE WHAT IN GOD IS THIS???! THIS IS SO BLOODY AMAZING!!!! I came here from a Klance video and this is honestly the greatest thing I've ever listen to. You have such a great freaking voice instant subscribe
Whoa man. This was art. Seriously, I love this so damn much. Can't believe I havn't heard about this before. Really looking forward to the new minor key music~~ *Whispers* This was amazing.
Chase ill say that I have been watching your work for awhile, you have some serious talent brotha! God's given you an incredible gift! Keep it coming bro!
Okay, this was a drastic change in mood. I challange you to do Just Can't Get Enough, by Depeche Mode. I mean it is Depeche Mode... why isn't it already melancholy !?! I am truly digging what you are doing here, please keep them coming.

Chase Holfelder please make "Jacksepticeye ALL THE WAY anniversary" into Minor Pleaseee.
Tris hia YES JUST YES!!!!
Chase Holfelder I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH COULD SCREAM!!!!
"serial killer in the making" theme song.
I love this.
K E L L I C
Gina Bartos Oui!
His minor key cover of Frank Sinatra's, "My Way," would be the song for when the villain gets caught and sentenced to death.
Wow, from happy-go-lucky song to straight up villain song. Nice.
ikr. before watching I thought to myself "there's no way he can twist the meaning of this song, it's so happy" I'm never unimpressed with his work
Mandemon1990 basically all of the major to minor songs he's made lol
You might even say he made some "minor" adjustments to this song
Priscilla Adejokun haha classic
Spenser Marzo why thank you XD I plan on *minor* ing in comedy
Priscilla Adejokun seems like it could be a minor part of life.
Priscilla Adejokun I applaud you for that punny joke 👏🏻...👏🏻....👏🏻...
Ahhhh, you guys make me smile 😁
It sounds like a villain about to start an uprising
ikr
Ikr
Megamind
Ikr
Ikr
Chase can turn the happiest songs and the sad innocent songs into the most creepy or villainous songs ever.
And I live for it.
If you just replaced the word "best" with "last" it would be even more creepy XDD "it's gonna be the last day of my life, oooh ohh"
and if he replaced "my" with "your" it would make it even creepier
If best replace by last it sounds like suicide
@@princessunatainnabell5782 Kind of does anyways: "Please don't wake me now" "Best day of my life" (not living), "never gonna look back" etc
@@tomtenisse823 yesss
I love this cover!

It's late and I'm tired. -.-
That honesty describes me atm
I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the possibilities
No limits just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back
No-oh
I'm never gonna give it up
Whoa-oh
Please, don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
My life
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
My life
I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced like monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back
Whoa-oh
I'm never gonna give it up
No-oh
Please don't wake me now
This is going to be the best day of my life
My life
This is going to be the best day of my life
My life
This was so...dark and... and twisted... I loved it!
From a musician's standpoint... you're freaking awesome. Your voice is so smooth, but it has such power when you sing and just. Whoa. Thank you so much for making these videos. Your voice is perfect for such minor chords like these.
Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance from Major to Minor
that would be great
yes
O.O YESSSSH
yes.
yesss *_*
Another great cover! Do you think you could do "sweet dreams" by eurythmics or "another one bites the dust" by Queen?
oh, yes, that would be cool
I love your name
+Ali Ejaz well thank you!
The first one I think would sound great and creepy in a Minor tone~
+Shadowfury KatrinaFTW I know! if you just look at the words themselves, they sound creepy, so I tink it would totally work.
Wow. Holy shit. Petition to make a musical filled with major to minor songs? They take such a deeper meaning and id lOve to see something like this on sage
I need 10 hours version of this song, no joke... It's way better than original.
+Loki Odinson Seriously. My finger is getting tired of clicking the "replay" button.
right click->loop
you're welcome.
This was done so wonderfully! I love that not only did you switch from major to minor, but you changed the style to fit. Amazing, keep it up! :)
This song gives me the image of someone who will soon commit a murder and is starting to piece the plan together while reveling in a pre-murderous adrenaline rush
I love how so many songs go from happy, upbeat songs to "I'm about to be elbow deep in blood and guts and I won't be sorry about it."
Everyone's like "this makes me think of someone about to commit murder"
I'm like "this makes me think of someone about to commit suicide"
Well there I go automatically going with the more angsty version rather than creepy. *rolls eyes*
I thought of a whole story to go with this version of it. The gist of it was: person is about to declare love to their s/o so they take the other person out on a big day thing; s/o has some big news to tell first; s/o is going to die soon; s/o dies; original person thinks about committing suicide.
+Cat Hara I didn't notice that. I tried not to pay attention to the lyrics because American Authors always gets stuck in my head.
Comrade 269 OH MY GOSH. "This is gonna be the best day of my life"JUST PLAYED AFTER I READ THAT AND I'M SEEING THAT. SONG VERSION OF A SUICIDE NOTE. HOLY SHIT
Same👌
Why not murder-suicide? Best of both worlds.
I made up two little stories to go with this song.
1: the person singing is actually in a dream, and after having fun realised it was a dream but enjoys it far more than their actual life so they decide they want to stay there forever, even if its only a day longer.
Or maybe
2: someone realises they are terminally ill and so wants to do everything they wanted to do in their last day. They want to have fun but they cant help but feel bitter and upset at their lack of time. Ultimately they realise that they , in trying to be happy their last few moments, ended up trying to force themselves to try and live their happy fantasies instead of enjoying their last day to the fulliest like they wanted and on their deathbed they lament about it.
Just my takes on it, let me know any stories you have and share it with each other as well. Dont forget to stay hydrated and have a nice day :)
Me:"Okay, there's no way he can turn this song dark."
Me three seconds later:"I was incorrect."
YOU JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER
It sounds like a villain song from the POV of a coma patient who woke up with immense power.
How about a sad cover of All Star or I'm a Believer?
Or the song of a tortured hero who nearly lost everything. (just a story I'm working on)
He's like if Dean Winchester were a badass musician instead of a badass hunter.
Thank god I wasn't the only one thinking that.
Molly L technically he could be because Jensen is a badass singer and guitar player
True
Yes😍
DID I HEAR SUPERNATURAL?
Will there ever be a Minor to Major?
+Chase Holfelder it'd be kinda fun
+NordinDutch It would definitely be interesting.
+Christopher Brown it's so true . I looked up song minor to major songs on TH-cam and I found Losing My Religion by R.E.M. ... I laughed out loud reading the comment of how it sounded like a cheesy theme song for a sitcom.
+Chase Holfelder JUST DO IT! haha :3 We are still gonna love it
Nothing beats that crescendo starting at 2:30, goosebumps.
I just heard this on Monday Night Countdown and instantly went
"That's Chase Singing!"
you should sing creep by radiohead in minor
Yessss!!
yeeees!!!
Oh my goshh yess
It'll be even more depressing :'(
absolutely!
I love this version so much more than the original. This one sounds like it's telling of a person who is desperate for a break in his life, as if nothing's been going right and he's determined to make today worth living. It's absolutely brilliant.
After listening to all of these amazing renditions of popular music I suddenly have the urge to listen to all of my music in minor. Keep up the amazing music making. Wishing you the best!!
It's amazing how a happy song can sound so beautifully twisted and evil.. It sounds like a psychopath is planning to do something that'll make him really freaking happy xD
that is actually kinda funny
true
Same with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. 😂
This totally changed the whole theme of the song!
CHASE I LOVE YOU
*fan-girl screams*
FANGIRL MOMENT
DO SAY GERONIMO!
YESS I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!
YES!!!! * Signs the paper saying that Say Geronimo should so be his next song*
I SECOND THIS DO IT DO IT
YAS
I know it’s like three years late but I’m signing this petition too
This is Much better than the original :D
Has a 30s to mars feeling
+Samad Savage It does! :D
Wow you are obviously a skilled musician but them video edits tho.
Patrish i know right? this guy's a triple threat. looks, musical talent, and video editing skills.
This is going to be the scariest day of my life
I guess the only question is...when do you go on tour?!
THIS IS SO GOOD WTF
While others hear murder or villianous, I hear someone who had a good life, until everything crashed down around them, and while they're suffering, each day they're trying to convince themself that they can turn it around, that it'll be okay and they can make a good day from the worst of situations. Someone that's drowning and trying their best to keep their head above water.
That… is good! Yes!!!
The tone is set, the mood is somber. A young exiled princess has painted her face with woad, tonight she takes her kingdom back with blood and fire- her 7 companions ready to slay all in their way.
2019 and I still love this 😔💕
Tweet it to American Authers to let them see how much better this version is. Minor is always better, this sounds so awesome
omg seriously am I the only one that hears "The Rasmus" lead singer in his voice! ? it's so similar ! BEAUTIFUL! ♡
This song is beautifully haunting in minor key.... to me it almost comes across as if one were singing that it would be the best day of their life, as well as their last.
Can you major to minor "My Hear Will Go On"? or is already? i feel like you can give it another level of feeling.
4 years later and he has granted your wish🤣😂😅.......
Chase how do you do this much?!?!?!?
I do it how much!
+Chase Holfelder I luv ur channel
This would be the perfect song to play over a movie trailer for a Werewolf: The Forsaken film. It's exciting and haunting and the lyrics fit surprisingly well when viewed through that lens.
dude the uniqueness of all your minor tracks just blows me away. incredible
+Chase Holfelder how long on average does one of these songs take you to create?
I love how you give songs such a different feeling and deeper meaning! I love your covers and they turn out so well!
I am, literally, in love with every major to minor. I'm a big fan of minor keys and the dissonance generally present.
And your voice. I mean...just...amazing.
+Chase Holfelder Somebody To Love by Queen? To me, the song always sounded far too upbeat for the lyrics. Plus, I think you could probably have some fun with Queen's love of those fantastic harmonies. :-D

Nice writing on the spot. Music is beautiful in how it can do that, isn't it?
1:25 👍🏻👌🏻 I love it
it's kinda cool how you can take the exact same lyrics
but if you put them in a different mood
it can be seen as something completely different
Your own twist on this one is amazing!
I always find it so cool how you end the chorus on a major chord before the ensemble concludes the song as it fades out with the chords back in minor. :D It's a terrific touch!
Seriously something must be done so more people learn about this amazing voice...!
freakkin love your voice and skill
You truly have a God given gift Chase! Keep using it to inspire and entertain! ❤️
Absolutely the best musician on youtube.
YOU ARE SO GREAT OMG I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH. KEEP IT UP. DON'T STOP. YOUR COVER ARE MY DRUGS. I'M ADDICTED. LOVE YOU!
I feel like this would have been the background music for Dexter every time, amazing talent man!
This completely changed the meaning of the song.. I love it! It's terrifying and makes me think it's about a murderer or something. Super cool
this is your best work together with every breath you take
i literally love these minor key versions! they sound so spooky!
Just blew me away with that song... utterly amazing. Well done on the feature this weekend. Now the fuse has been lit.. we're gonna see you shoot for the sky and shower us with more of your amazing talent. Looking forward to seeing you reap the rewards of all that hard work. Keep amazing us all Chase!
I can't express how much I enjoy that you improved all this pop...far better than the originals. Well done! xxxx
That was awesome man!
This sounds like a very modern (and english) Cirque du Soleil inspired remix. Love it!
As a passive aggressive and very repressed person who always ends up doing things I don't want to I really dig this cover. 'this is gonna be the best day of my life' I say as I roll my eyes and die a little bit more inside.
Holy crap this is the best song I've ever heard
I always like songs that has a chord like 2:51.
YOu never cease to amaze me how talented you are. I am happy to hear your getting recognition for your talents and will look forward to watching the Sunday Night Football.
Please go on The Voice! More people need to see you!
I'm a fan! Didn't think I'd like the change but I'm addicted!!
Always been a massive fan of songs in a minor key but this cover definitely takes the cake. Everything I've heard you do is incredible!!
You are one talented musician who can play everything ! I think this version is better than the real one. :)
Why are you so pretty? Wtf? Dude. Whoever created you? Props to them👏👏
I sang this for chorus a few years ago, and this is so much more epic than the original. I wish we sang this version😂
ESPN brought me here and I'm glad it did. Awesome stuff! And not just on this song... Well done!
This song just got 3428641084 times better! Amazing work, as always!! :)
I think this might be one of my favorite covers you've done so far. Love your voice, and love how original you get with these major to minors. :) Keep on keepin' on!
I like to listen to your covers when studying..
HOLY FUDGE WHAT IN GOD IS THIS???! THIS IS SO BLOODY AMAZING!!!! I came here from a Klance video and this is honestly the greatest thing I've ever listen to. You have such a great freaking voice instant subscribe
What was the video?
didn't know it was possible to make this song sound creepy but you did it
Dude if you ever want to play live shows with these and decide you want a drummer hit me up cause these are wicked fun to jam along too!
I don't think anyone understands how excited I was to see this oml 😂😂 you're really talented, keep up the good work ^-^
you're literally one of the most talented people on youtube. i love everything you do!
Fantastic as always! Congrats on being featured on ESPN!
you deserve millionsss views & subscribers man, you got talent
I love your voice for these! I don't think I'll ever get sick of listening to them!
I did not realize it was the same song until I noticed the lyrics. Love it, great job 💙
Whoa man. This was art. Seriously, I love this so damn much. Can't believe I havn't heard about this before. Really looking forward to the new minor key music~~ *Whispers* This was amazing.
Heard it on FOX Sports Southwest's coverage of the 2017 UIL State Football Championships!
Chase ill say that I have been watching your work for awhile, you have some serious talent brotha! God's given you an incredible gift! Keep it coming bro!
You turned a song that I don’t like that much into one of my favourite songs you are so talented I love this so much
WOW! This is incredible!!!!!!!!
You deserve all the great things that are coming for you chase! Can't wait to hear one of your minor covers be a theme for a TV show one day 😋
Okay, this was a drastic change in mood. I challange you to do Just Can't Get Enough, by Depeche Mode. I mean it is Depeche Mode... why isn't it already melancholy !?!
I am truly digging what you are doing here, please keep them coming.
+Kelly Harris I agree! Just Can't Get Enough would be a great one!
That will sound awesome!
Chase, great work here. Kudos to ESPN for getting you air time on Countdown. Good luck to you.
