After reading Chapter 4 "Transmission" in "Every song ever: Twenty ways to listen in an age of musical plenty" Textbook, I feel like I kind of having a better understanding what is transmission in music. According to Ben Ratliff, it is a motion which is given by the musician and received by the listener. And how the musician is giving more than they need to perform to audiences is an act of transmission. I think it's similar to passion and the power that musicians have to make the best performance. Moreover, according to Ben Ratliff, the state of transmission is an extreme form of emotion in music that transcends specific mood. It's like having a power to bring up mood in listener, which is a great success for every musician. This make them more special and listener might remember them more. An example from Ben Ratliff would be Andy Bey with his song like "You'd be so nice to come home to", or "I have had a crush on you". For Ben, Andy was a transmitter in his mid-50s. He tends toward song he has written with dark warning and clear morals. Another similar example should be the maze song "The morning after" by Frankie Beverly, is a song a bout moral comprise.

"Giving more than you need is an act of transmission. So is exposing doubt through music, admitting that we don't have the answers or the plan, writing words embodying that lack of a plan, singing in a way that embodies those word".

"The morning after" - Frankie Beverly.
This song is old to me but it's about the pain that the artist makes to cheat on the person that he loved.

This song by Patrick Jorgensen for me is the great example of Transmission. It's a rap that the singer sing for the death of his mother. After losing her he sing for the hurt that she left him. All memories and all the love came to him to every single word of the song. I can feel his pain and I really miss my mom after first heard of this song on Got Talent Global. It made so many people cry already.

Bruno Mars is a great transmitter I think. His beautiful voice and the power that he gives is just too strong
