I had a girlfriend who was killed tragically over 30 yrs ago and as it happens, Pachelbel's Canon figured prominently during that time frame. That's probably why my initial spooky reaction to the Am modulation.

After many listenings that effect has diminished, and now I hear more and more beauty on each listen, with a tinge of bittersweetness.

bluage: It's funny you mention the "Dear John ..." setting. That's exactly what my wife thought on first listen.

I should mention I still hear the "call and response" aspect of this, and so if I focus on that too much the spookiness returns.
