Does Automatic For the People by REM have the saddest songs?
hmm...they're sad but yet they're optimistic too. Maybe poignant is a better word than sad; "Find The River" is a good example of a song on that album that makes me want to cry and smile at the same time.
What are some sad songs by The Kinks?
The song “See My Friends” has a very sad, mournful tone. The meaning is somewhat vague; it could be about a breakup or a friend’s death.She is gone,She is gone and now there's no one left'Cept my friends,Layin' 'cross the river,And then there’s “Dead End Street,” which is more upbeat, though in a hopeless kind of way. Things are rather desperate for the protagonist, a person who is “out of work and got no money” and apparently out of options.What are we living for?Two-roomed apartment on the second floor.No chance to emigrate,I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late.There are many more, I’m sure, but these two come to mind.
What makes a song happy or sad?
Mode (key) and tempo. The major key and fast tempo are main ingredients for a 'feel good' song. First, listen to this song:Its tempo is on the low side (90 bpm). Still, the major key in which it is played makes it a rather happy tune. Try to increase the speed of the video to 1.5 or even 2 times. Much happier, right? And now its remake in minor key:According to the research conducted by Dr Jacob Jolij of University of Groningen, the mode (key) and tempo of a song are the two main elements that make a song happy or sad. Additional elements, such as lyrics, may also contribute to a 'feel good' factor.Jolij's research sourced primary data from a large customer survey in the UK and Ireland, which asked respondents to state their musical preference, where they got their musical taste from and, most importantly, their favourite songs that improve their moods.This is how he proceeded:So, the first thing I did was to identify all unique songs that respondents listed as ‘feel good’, and find the scores of these songs to determine key and tempo. Next, I looked at some additional variables, such as season in which the song was released, genre, lyrical theme, and overall emotionality of the lyrics.But he encountered some issues:Originally, I planned to fit a linear mixed model to predict whether a song is a feel good song or not. A mixed model would be ideal– it would allow me to include a random factor for song, or even for respondent, and thus correct (somewhat) for individual differences such as social context, associations, and what more. Unfortunately, the list I got only listed feel-good songs. In order to ascertain the 'feel good' factor in a song, he basically needed another category against which the set of 'feel good' songs could be measured. So he took an average pop song and compared the main variables - mode (key) and tempo. He came up with the following results:the average tempo was substantially higher in a 'feel good' song (150 bpm vs. 118 bpm) only 3 'feel good' songs were in a minor key, all the rest were in major additionally -- lyrics-wise -- 'feel good' songs were about going to a party, going to a beach, doing something with your love etc.
Good songs with strong beat and depressing tone?
I am looking for songs that really allow me to think critically about situations in my life (as hokey as that may sound). Any type of either electronic/alternative/soul/singer songwriter/rap/whatever else of song that has a strong, yet slow beat and has a somewhat depressing undertone. I have always sort of been a societal critic, if that helps define the type I'm looking for. A few examples of songs that I like that I consider to meet these requirements are: Hey Baby (feat. Mos Def) by Stephen Marley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa6DdmJbEck&feature=related Let the Drummer Kick by Citizen Cope: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSS6AMZW7F4 Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcs5PRxEXq4&ob=av2e Bloodstream by Stateless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3b1CDLsiGU

Why is music emotive and is ‘tone’ (happy, sad etc.) universal or determined by culture?
I could go write a lot about this but, I'm at work on my phone so, here's the gist. The biggest reason a song can sound sad is because it uses minor note patterns and the biggest reason a song can sound happy is it uses major note patterns.This is an extreme simplification but the point is different cultures just inherited different 'modes' so when you hear it you associate them with each other.If you want to learn more, do some research on 'modes', minor and major chords, and basic chord progressions.
What combination of chords plays the sad, touchy melodies that make people cry?
Try Dminor,Aminor,EMajor, and back to AMinor. Then stay in Aminor for 4 more beats then play GMajor, FMajor and finally EMajor.Finger pick them chords. Play around with it. Hope this adds to it.
Why do the minor chords sound sad and major chords happy? I've read everything there is to read on this subject, and there's still no answer.
Science has yet to come up with an actual conclusion for this question.What the evidence does point to though, is that it is a product of our culture. We perceive, in western harmony, a minor third to be sad because that is how it has been perceived for centuries. It has become engrained in our brains to be sad.However, if you listen to Hebrew music or Eastern European music, they use tons of minor intervals in their music. They have their own scales such as the Hebrew scale or the various Hungarian scales. Their music isn't sad though, a lot of Hungarian dances and folk music used minor scales.Other scales to look at are the flamenco scale, Japanese scales and Chinese scales...basically all world scales actually XD.In other places around the world, cultures are used to pentatonic scales which are vastly different from our western ideas of music. Pentatonic scales can have minor intervals or major or even augmented or diminished intervals yet their cultures perceive these as normal and with their own emotions attached to them.I haven't found any conclusive articles online where scientists have found an actual reason for these intervals sounding happy. Especially since other cultures can contradict the western idea of 'major' and 'minor'.
