    "Teardrop in my eye" hits harder in this one.

    It sounds like the song is trying its hardest to sound happy but it just can’t
  • @theo_suharto
    This song went from "ah, i miss home" to "I can't take this anymore, I want to go home"
  • Its so interesting how changing the key of a song can completely change the mood and meaning
  • This sounds like a song that a cowboy made after realizing he would never live to revisit West Virginia to see his wife and kids
  • Visiting West Virginia: original version Actually living in West Virginia: this version
  • Somewhere out there in an alternate universe, people are playing this in major key and realizing just how happy a song it is.
  • I keep coming back to this song again and again. As far as I can recall, I haven't ever deliberately searched out the original to re-listen. It's a nice song and all, but this version is hauntingly beautiful.

    Those chords are so nice in minor. Really adds some nice spice
