i'm amazed at how natural the vocals sound. normally it's mostly the vocal part that suffers whenever you pitch songs down, but here it sounds perfect.
here's a copy of my comment i wrote and posted before i read this: I live in Massachusetts and here we get fog. mist. But in Massachusetts, by default some are just fuckin fearless. I live up in the hilly western mass. and sometimes at like 6 in the morning you just find yourself in the middle of a forest, miles from any proper human life, walking through gray mist and darkness with only the sound of stepping over wet leaves and the repetitive psychotic lullaby of crickets to listen to. But I've grown up in the hills. And it's not frightening. Now, every once in a while you'll pass into some clearing, turning out to be on of those river-like rows of Transmission Towers, the same things in these videos. Rusty or cracked, but still out in the middle of nowhere carrying signal. Like a river. Sometimes you'll follow them up-hill for a few miles, or maybe down. Just wandering through forest and covering terrain on-foot is a serious part of New England culture. I pity those who don't know what it's like.
Everyone is commenting on how well the vocals have been pitch-shifted without turning to shit, but is no one going to appreciate how well the drums have been changed without a degradation in sound? It’s so natural, they’re perfect
It says the stems were used, meaning each element of the song (vocals, guitar, drums etc) are separated. I'd guess that the drums are actually unchanged, which is why they sound so good - they're the original drums. Everything else was able to be downtuned and tweaked individually. Very nice mix indeed.
@@Chundermuffin If I had to guess this sounds like the stems from Rock Band 2. For some reason the drum mix for the game sounded really different from the album version, maybe due to how they have to remix parts to highlight each instrument for gameplay purposes.
@@eggydrums Looks like we're both right! @1rlz1, if you're reading these comments still, firstly thank you for this excellent version! Secondly, any chance of a FLAC link? I'd love a high quality copy to keep forever.

It sounds like they used a pitch shifter which maintains the formant (E.g. reapitch). Basically it means the tone of his voice doesn't get ruined when the pitch is lowered.
@@wrinkliestdogyea. I'm a pretty friendly guy, but also the kind of musician that really feels the feeling behind certain notes, and the beginning notes of this song feels more like "I'm feelin so much sadness and anger, all pent-up and here is where enough is enough and i'm lettin it out. In these kick-ass power chords" But then the lyric is less "it didnt work out and im insanely angry" but more "could it work out? why cant it? can we try again? what's wrong? let me fix it. give me another chance"
It's crazy how your brain instantly makes the adjustment in relativity for this to just instantly sound "right" instead of obviously being a very different key.
The vocals sound great! Always room for improvement sure whatever; but man - I'm gonna be listening to this version like every day now for a couple months I bet. The lower tuning is just so beautiful to me. Thank you for the work you put in this. It sounds professional.
He states in the description he used Ableton Live, the pitch shifting in Ableton is VERY good at keeping the "sound" of the clip intact when transposing up or down, especially using the "Complex" algorithm within Live's clip editor.
Theres an essential part of pitch shifting no one ever does which is called formant shifting. If you shift the formant up the same amount you shift the pitch down, you get a natural sounding vocal.
@@askeen8796its weird, sometimes when I use formant shifting, I get both the original pitch AND the shifted pitch at the same time (only with specific sounds). Sometimes I welcome it, sounds pretty neat, but most times the dissonance is a hard turnoff for me
Some people say that it sounds like Deftones, but I personally think more of Queens of the Stone Age, especially considering Dave did drums for QOTSA in that album
@@pandadoublexl well although i dont agree that this sounds much like deftones, it does use the same primary chord in alot of deftones songs, basically has the same chord progression as be quiet and drive. the chorus is really the only thing that seperates them notably

I've just learned that this song evokes the feeling of a new beginning to many people... I'm glad to watch you being hopeful. To me, this song has always felt like a flashback in present tense, like he's living a moment that has already passed. Maybe it's just a projection of how I see the beautiful moments, I don't know.
The song is good (as everlong always is) but the image rules. I love everything about how that image looks. I wish I could explain why but I dont really know. It just looks cool and it fits the way this songs sounds very well.
Back when this song downtuned was a big thing, i didnt quite get the hype cuz it sounded odd to me actually playing it on guitar. But now that im listening to it, it sounds much darker & even a bit ahead of its time. Mad cool
It’s interesting that we all find artwork with power lines impactful in someway. When I was a kid I fantasized about following them to their end to find a paradise, but I think that paradise is lost forever 🚬🙁
In an alternate universe where Dave showed Kurt the songs he was writing. Kurt took the back seat and played the backing guitar to let Dave lead for this in 1997.

i think it’s because this closer to his original pitch in interviews etc
sounds like how he sings now
That's because he took vocal part from acoustic version

Try it at 1.25 speed : )
C and B are only a difference of a half step so the vocals will still sound pretty normal as the range difference is negligible
its a minor third down the original is in D@@TheBentFilms

guess cuz thats not an usual pitch shift

!!! yeah this feels like it should go right after Go With the Flow, i can hear it
If Deftones made Everlong
Honestly if you threw a ton of reverb on the vocals it would be.
somehow this stupid comparisons make me mad as hell
@@NotKimiRaikkonenit wouldn't be. The drums and overall vibe of the song are nothing like anything Deftones have ever put out.
@@pandadoublexl well although i dont agree that this sounds much like deftones, it does use the same primary chord in alot of deftones songs, basically has the same chord progression as be quiet and drive.

This sounds like the start of a great story. Are you a writer?
I really want to experience this.
MIght just by my headphones, but I think the vocals need to be about 2-3 db louder. They're buried in the mix.
definitely but it's probably just to mask the weird unnatural sound that happens when you drop vocals a couple tones. to make it sound more realistic
I turned up the volume on youtube, it still sounds quiet but better. like do it 1/4 the way on the bar
For sure
I disagree I think they're a good level

This sounds so awesome! I love it!
My god, this is amazingly done!
Added to my playlist 👌
it's crazy how this looks exactly like a Deftones song
wow it actually sounds really good like this!!!!
This is the closest thing to listening to it for the first time
For some reason this makes me feel just so nostalgic
Play this on 0.9X playback speed for _Deftones_

OMG YES I have been searching for this!
Holy shit wow. Happy I found this.
Sounds great!
the Lain in me is obsessed with the art being power lines
anyone else feel like this turned it into a Dinosaur Jr song?
Totally
omg thats it
so well done
this is amazing
sounds great
This was oddly satisfying, like a mellow version of something you enjoy spicy
Sounds awesome, kinda like a deftonesy tone
so goooood
This is great.
Very fun song to play
Why is this actually better than the original? Like the original version is not bad but I keep coming back to this, it's so good.
Nice!
This is how I remember the original sounding the first time I heard it
The song is good (as everlong always is) but the image rules. I love everything about how that image looks. I wish I could explain why but I dont really know. It just looks cool and it fits the way this songs sounds very well.

sound even more melancholic than the og
Unreal
In drop B, it sounds like a Devin Townsend song mixed with a Type O Negative song.
Its like listening to this song for the first time
I was expecting the original but digitally slowed down , it's an actual cover ? Evergreen terrace has an amazing cover of this as well 👍
Highwayyyyy to the danga zone
Sounds more like a cover by Fleshwater
literally
'cause they usually play in this tuning?
This lines up with their newest album pretty great.
Formant shifted vocals for the win 🙏

how did you manage to make it sound so clean? it sounds awesome
I don't know why but this makes me feel like the normal song is pitched up, for whatever reason.
Fuckin awesome
This sounds better than the original
how did you do this? did you pitched everything down except for the drums? it sounds amazing, best drop tuned song i've heard
Dark character arc meme vibes
Someone once told me Diet Dr Pepper tastes more like Dr Pepper than original Dr Pepper. The same could be said about this song in regards to the original
