    Dolly Parton's song Jolene, slowed down to 33 rpm so that it sounds deeper and more drawn out. The short clip is a well-known example of how pitch-shifting changes a song's mood.

    HN people point to it as a slowed-down song that sounds more plaintive and haunting.

      Other slow music worth checking out, in some other genres: Jolene by Dolly Parton slowed down to 33rpm: this video And some slow covers: Vanilla Fudge (they do a few like this): [LINK] Issac Hayes 18bmin cover of By The Time I get to Pheonix: [LINK] Dick Slessig Combo doing a 42 minute version of Wichita Lineman: [LINK]

    2. @jihadjihadNov 2023· in “Sad clown paradox”

      It's a great song. Hearing it at 33 rpm [0] is a different experience still: it's almost more plaintive, more haunting. Worth a listen IMO. 0: this video

      Here's Dolly Parton's "Joeene" at 33rpm: this video Sounds pretty good, though not exactly like Springsteen :)
