R.E.M. - "Losing My Religion" In Major Key
Video Overview & Insights
More from MajorScaled TV: https://www.facebook.com/MajorScaledTv
I come back to this video every few months because it just absolutely hits every mark. I always leave feeling so bittersweet positive/hopeful.
R.E.M.'s famous ballad "Losing My Religion" digitally reworked with a major scale. The original song is in A minor. So in the middle section, when it goes to a chord rooted in the 6th scale degree, it goes into an F major chord.
This edited version places the song into A major so when the middle section goes to the respective chord on its 6th scale degree it makes an F# minor chord.
This is the background music to his fantasy of life with the one that got away

@DOUDA6He's happy to be freed from religious tyranny.
@waynegrabert6839This feels like my experience leaving religion behind. Religion led me to my absolute lowest point in life. I was suicidal, bitter, judgmental, confused, and had constant cognitive dissonance from trying to believe what religion said and what reality said. So when I finally left it behind it was extremely liberating. I finally felt happy and free and at peace. It was the biggest weight I’ve ever felt taken off my shoulders.

@megsleyFunny how melancholic this still sounds. More hopeful and brighter, sure, but the melancholy and ambiguity remains.
@royalninja2823For some reason this actually helps me when I’m in depressive episodes. There’s still melancholy to it, but the hopeful air from the key change helps me shrug off the worst of it.
@Decepticon17Please god someone make a minor key sad version of shiny happy people Please someone I'm begging you 😂😂
