The Science of Music | Why We Love It 

Link to the jingle?

Was your dad a “hard work” person? Like, someone who appreciated or thought that a hard days work was worthy on its own merit? I ask because my armchair psychology says that after watching you play, seeing the amount of work you put into it, your hands working fast and with high precision, that it may have caused that part of his brain to link the music with the concept. I have noticed such effect with other things. Disparaging hobbies as being a waste of time until they see how much work, how hard, or what level of skill goes into it. In most cases they may not convert, yet their level of adversity decreases, and they can gain even a moderate amount of respect for such things.

I'm a clarinet, saxophone, and piano player. Gershwin was a musical genius, along with Finzi, and Schumann.

I get my obsession with music from my dad. I'm a millennial, and he is a boomer, so people are surprised he listens to Green Day, for example, but he is open to us introducing him to new artists. He doesn't like all of it (Billie Eilish isn't his cup of tea), but he's at least open to listening to it to come to his own conclusion. While my dad doesn't listen to much rap (he used to hate it since it didn't exist when he was growing up, so he didn't understand it), I think after Hamilton and the "This Is America" music video, he at least respects the genre now. While most people will prefer the music from their teens, people who truly appreciate it as an art form will be open to expanding their musical experience.

Omg, i was worried about my bunny feeling lonely at night cuz she would act up so I would always put on diferente “bunny music” from RU-vid for her! It did make her feel better :)

I see it as an adult lullaby.

You should listen to The Greatest Show on Earth by Nightwish. Headphones, close your eyes....

Not my cup of tea... Oxygene, L'orchestre sous la pluie, Pavaroti, Mozart, Superman 78 theme, the imperial march on the other hand...

being dutch, its weird hearing earworm/oorwurm being used scientifically xD they say its german, but its dutch. could be the same in german tho. my german isnt so good.

@@zwartkatdre „Ohrwurm“ It's the same word. Es ist das gleiche Wort. Het is hetzelfde woord. Germanic languages can be crazy that way...

I’m s o g l a d I’m not the only one who noticed this

Pianists. . beware your scales lol

P Heart: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MhgN6Et9sYw.html

can't stand ANY pop songs lmao

Same. I love 80s/90s/00s songs.

I get that. Especially with Pink Floyd.

He might have meant C to B, having just been talking about being able to identify the former, which *is* of course a half step.

@@markchapman6800 True but, if you look at that staff, the note moved from A to B. Careless animation, perhaps.

Hahaha some music nerds arguing 😂 welcome to the club 🤪

@@michagrill9432 Oh, I don't know if I'd call it arguing. That sounds so unfriendly. I prefer to think of it as having a spirited discussion on a difference of opinion. 😁

@@johnopalko5223 hahahaha 😄

If true that is indeed an interesting factoid.

Brutal

That's metal af

Is anyone really surprised by this fact? Sharks are among the most metal creature on the planet, of course they'd be into death metal.

DrSharkBoy Thank you, this knowledge is highly valuable

Right?! XD so good

Caught me off guard but funny as hell

@@aceofthesky1247 same here, but because my real last name IS Just

Cool

Didn't he scream that at a boy?

Ebby imogen heap gang gang

Why do you need new bands? Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. ...

@@JohnSmith-qq7fm who are your favorite bands?

@Kayla Kat The golden age of music production for sure. 2000ish to 2014ish especially. It seems to have faltered a bit in recent years I think because the newness of the age and technology has slightly worn off. But I could also just not be looking hard enough.

I have to agree with your cousin

Finally it's over! -> My thoughts exactly.

EmilGlockner try listening to great gig in the sky by Pink Floyd. Does it fit me every time

I didn't like either of them, but comfortably numb actually did something for me. Not like the strong feels I get for my favorite songs, but still some feels.

Yeah! I watched the Gilmour performance on YT. It's incredible!!!

I get a frisson at the mere mention of the name Gilmour. Really.

Thats fascinating =O. Do you still enjoy music, or are songs the same as any other noise to you? If you do enjoy music, do you have a favourite genre?

Being an Australian, I just love indian and Spanish Music..... I donno But they give me kinda goosebumps.........

ear bees? lol

Earworms? Wtf?

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. A friend has it and it's debilitating.

@@amethyst1826 it’s not actually a worm in your ear, just the word for when you don’t like that you are addicted to a song

@@jameshardwick7440 Oh yes, thank you. I looked it up. Sounded flippin awful! Lol I was imagining people with worms slithering out of their ears - nightmare provoking!! 🤣🤣

You murdered millions.

@@domowoi2077 GO TO GULAG NOW

It's a powerful song

That anthem really is amazing, I think

I have to admit, despite what anyone thinks of Communism, the melody is very inspiring emotionally more than most anthems.

That's an **excellent** suggestion! I have synethesia, and I "hear" colours as sounds and sometimes, vise versa, so listening to a piece of music that engages my brain in "daydream mode" will fill my mind with whole landscapes of colours, flashes and seemingly-random swirls. I often listen to complicated pieces with my eyes closed (like Classical Orchestra, or some of the more out there Psytrance stuff like Hallucinogen's or Juno Reactor's work), because of the layering used in the musical style--with all of the different instrument sections--and I can "see" the colours better. My preferred genres are Goth/Industrial, Psytrance Techno, New Wave, '60's and '70's Classic Rock, some Country and Rap. Non-Western forms of music, like Balinese Gamelan, or Indian Ragga/pop can often give me that frisson, and a lot of fun with the colours as my brain tries to keep up. LOL Also, if I watch a silent video, my mind will create the sound for it mentally. It's nothing that makes sense, aurally (like speech, traffic noises, or a horse's hoof-beat would make sense for those images), they're just random noises that "fit" the movements of what's on-screen, especially if they're rhythmic. I'm a drummer, too (mediocre in skill, really), 'cuz ever since I was a kid, I could "see" and "hear" music and rhythm in the world all around me. Just wish I was a better composer. :-p

@@DrachenGothik666 That's amazing! You're much more of a synesthete than I. I see each number, day of the week, month and year in it's own colour, and associate scents and colours, but that's nothing compared to you! 👍

Quite a few Metal musicians are Classically trained, so some of their insaniac guitar-fingering skills... **drools in envy** Some are vocally-trained in more formal modes of music, too, so they have far more control over their voices than a lot of folks assume. People really sell Metal short when they just think it's a bunch of mullet-headed stoners screaming into a microphone.

Gee, thanks for spreading stereotypes. If you "don't normally have too much emotion" that's a YOU thing that you can't blame on Asperger's Syndrome; that's not one of the diagnostic criteria, and it's quite uncommon for anyone with any kind of autism to claim to have few emotions. Use the bit of emotion you have to realize that when you spread stereotypes like that you are HURTING those of us who are real autistics and have to deal with society's assumptions they make about us based on what YOU say about yourself but attribute to all of us because you don't know the difference between diagnostic criteria and a personality trait. Friggin' jerk. I'm sure you won't mind me pointing out what a jerk you are, since you are autistic and therefore a robot, right? See? Get it yet? Ignorant stereotype-spreading jerk.

@@stephencoldbear I don't mind at all, your opinion is your own. Like mine is. Here is the DSM diagnostic criteria that you are surely aware of. Not a big step to link these to a problem with emotions, as it's what most of human nature is based around, that's my opinion and makes sense to me, didn't mean to spread stereotypes, that was rather unfortunate. I'm obviously not lacking in emotion as I wouldn't have the frisson effect, just that they don't seem to work in the 'Normal' (NT) way. DSM IV Criteria for Asperger's Disorder* marked impairments in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures to regulate social interaction. failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level. What's worse than having Asperger's? Being a snowflake with Aspergers, and an opinionated one at that... Guess you don't mind either. Tip: Learn not to talk down to people, a common problem when you have Aspergers. NT people don't appreciate that... Take a look here under the section entitled: The understanding and expression of emotions: www.tonyattwood.com.au/about-aspergers-m This guy is an expert on the subject, so... Well I'll let you make up your own mind.

_As an Aspergian I don't normally have too much emotion_ Is that what you think Asperger's Syndrome entails? Ypurs is just another self-diagnosis based on thinking Sheldon from TBBT is "a hoot!"

@@AlbertaGeek It's actually how I am, it's how a lot of fellow Aspergian's are (and I've met plenty), it is also known that we process emotions differently (lack of emotional understanding; an expert on the subject states that - Tony Attwood) - to an NT it comes across as somewhat emotionless/strange (yes, I've actually asked 'normal' people) - that is what I was trying to say. I would have thought you'd get that if you were Aspergers too - communication difficulties - like ambiguous sentences etc - you know what you mean, but say it incorrectly, assuming everyone thinks the way you do - but you'd already know that if you were Aspergers. I was actually diagnosed as an adult, very late on but it explains a lot. My instinct tells me you are just another internet troll with a comment like that - trying to elicit a response. Well you got one, hope you enjoy it [the respose].

Idk about that being related to asperger's, man. I was diagnosed at 8 and sort of re-diagnosed as a teen and I've always experienced extremely deep and powerful emotion. Putting a name to them and figuring out what to do with them was a struggle for quite some time though and I still have to fight to keep my cool if someone pisses me off. But I think most with the diagnosis do experience pretty strong emotions, though maybe not quite to my level. It's just that recognizing and processing them in healthy and socially appropriate ways is tough. Hopefully you're able to get more in touch with your feelings one day. It'll help you better understand yourself and the people around you and your life will be the better for it :) on the subject though, I get goosebumps weirdly rarely from music, but the few songs that do it, do it without fail. I try not to listen to them too often though for fear of weakening that effect. LSD makes frissons way more common for me though.

I think it's partly because it's so cyclical and usually few lyrics, it lets you go where your mind wants to. Johnny M in the mix!

I had "Rocky Raccoon" stuck in my head once, I was going to call animal control, but didn't think they'd understand.

I had Panzerkampf by Sabaton stuck in my head yesterday INTO THE MOTHERRLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH!!

@@larsswig912 Sabaton make the best earworms

I got tested after teaching myself piano by ear. I didn't realize it was that unusual for quite some time.

YES! "Powerful stretch of notes!"

Indeed!

I can relate. **NEVER** interrupt me during a task--it'll never get finished! I have ADHD pretty bad, to the point where even medication barely helps with the focusing. It mostly just helps to keep me awake (I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, too). :-(
