So, I don't know the "science" behind it, but songs in "major key" are happy and upbeat, and songs in "minor key" are more somber. Sometimes, you can find listings online of songs where the key has been switched. This one is my favorite of those.
If "Country Roads" is meant to be a positive, happy song about going back home, this is a sort of sad, serious version. It's hauntingly beautiful. I like to think that this is what would be playing in the background when the hero in a movie has to flee his home, for whatever reason, knowing that he could never come back.
And on an unrelated note, it's snowing. Last week, I didn't even need a coat, but right now, there's snow on the driveway. I don't even know anymore.

Oh. Wow. That borders on Tarantino. Dark. And ... snow. We had a couple flakes fall here as well.
