uncle psychosis Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 This is bizarre. Bizarre, but pretty cool. http://boingboing.net/2013/01/21/rems-losing-my-religion.html Someone took "Losing My Religion" and shifted it so its in a major key. I quite like it. Quote
danthevan Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 That's a real head f***! Good though! Quote
gub Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Had to go and listen to the original straight away to restore my inner peace Quote
Earbrass Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I've heard this done a bit with morris and folk tunes - usually a major tune changed into a minor one. Great way to give a new perspective to familiar material. Quote
bassace Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Don't like it! It has no soul, just a guy singing a song. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Hmm. I imagine that was technically difficult to do, so well done to whoever did it, but the outcome is pretty plain. Quote

WHUFC BASS Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I had my photo taken with REM once. That's me in corner. Quote

Much nicer. Edit - now someone switch " Shiny Happy People" into minor. That'd be a real blast.... Edited January 23, 2013 by Lfalex v1.1 Quote

wombatboter Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I've never liked that song before but I do like it now in the major form... Quote
