Popular songs in key changes.

I’ve discovered some on Youtube lately. These two are my favorites. The latter is very fitting for the lyrics. Sounds like Joy Division and early 80s Cure.

These are pretty cool.

I enjoyed those. Goes to show that a good song is still a good song even when it's changed up a bit.

Thanks for posting. I actually like Losing My Religion now.

[Three Eyes]

Now find a minor key Shiny Happy People. lol.

The Police track changed the feel a lot though, so to my ears this is a testament to how small changes can have such great effect on how the song is perceived/expressed. The original Every Breath is MUCH better than this minor key version [from a musical standpoint, both of these songs are done well to demonstrate the differences]. Nothing can save this REM song. lol [i like REM, but this track isn't one of the songs I like]

Rick Beato does a lot of videos demonstrating major and minor scales. They're good to reference because you can hear the differences as he's explaining them (real content starts at around 1:00). Music theory doesn't interest me much, it's mostly a framework and I don't necessarily use it unless I'm stuck writing something. This is only posted because it demonstrates some of what's happening in these videos.
