Notice the volume in My Bloody Valentine’s Only Shallow. The song appears hazy, indistinguishable, as if it's covered in a thick layer of white noise. This makes the song mellow regardless of the volume the listener uses. However, the song is filled with unconventional energy through using musical discrepancy and a repetitive chord progression, as well as through the specific tones of the guitars, as well as through the tempo of the piece. Therefore, volume can affect the energy of the song, but these elements are not central to the creation of musical energy.

This slow, flowery song creates energy through the sudden changes in the chords and volume of the song, specifically as the vocal harmonies change from major to minor. This creates musical energy because it imposes a reaction among the audience members to feel the music. In turn, musical energy is the satisfying primal reaction of a song in the human mind.

Musical energy is the intrinsic relationship between the listener’s autonomic reaction to the music, the artist’s intent, and the listener’s conscious and/or participatory reaction to the music. Musical energy often defines the significance of a song, because people want music that they can gain energy from; it encapsulates power, a primal human instinct. In essence, musical energy ensures that humans can gain something from their listening. Musical energy makes music feel purposeful to the human ear, it creates unity among a group of people, and it provides a platform in which people can feel primal emotions in a cleansing and uplifting manner. To create musical energy is to release the innermost primal intentions. Our essay primarily focuses on what energy is and how it's expressed in nearly every musical piece ever created-- because musical energy is simply the tendency for a piece to offer the listener a sense of meaning. Therefore, artists can create energy through any means, and although it is easiest to create energy through musical elements that provoke the primal sense of action, such as through speed or volume, that cannot define how we create musical energy. Musical energy is the reason why most humans listen to music.
