MAJOR TO MINOR: What Does 'Best Day Of My Life' Sound Like in a Minor Key? (American Authors Cover)

As part of my ongoing series in which I take songs in a major (happy) key and transpose them to a minor (sad) key, here is my rendition of "Best Day Of My Life" by American Authors. Featured on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown.

"serial killer in the making" theme song.
I love this.

[Mandemon]

Wow, from happy-go-lucky song to straight up villain song. Nice.

[Priscilla_Adejokun]

You might even say he made some "minor" adjustments to this song

[fenroseauburn]

Chase can turn the happiest songs and the sad innocent songs into the most creepy or villainous songs ever.



And I live for it.

[uroosastfu]

It sounds like a villain about to start an uprising

[RustyRayy_]

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"

[TheLaurelRose]

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. -.-

Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance from Major to Minor

[ceciliasobo]

This was so...dark and... and twisted... I loved it!

[FatWithAPh]

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

[Lukas-gxsz]

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.

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

I need 10 hours version of this song, no joke... It's way better than original.

[jediparker]

Another great cover! Do you think you could do "sweet dreams" by eurythmics or "another one bites the dust" by Queen?

[eq]

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

[katzrox]

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! :)

[archerdork]

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."

[DenderFriend]

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?

[tjshoutout]

you should sing creep by radiohead in minor

[reeceball]

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*
