This overview of music encompasses many different genres of music. However, it has many characteristics in common with one another. For example, loudness, cheerful lyrics, or a fast tempo, are some of the most common characteristics that "feel good" music carries. ]]> 2017-12-11 02:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214881633 A Very Vivacious Song nimath05 https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214895059 One of the very first examples we used in our essay was "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake.

This means that your brain can’t help but feel happy when you are listening to pleasurable music; it is quite literally in your DNA." nimath05 https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214895343 2017-12-11 05:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214895343 Another Vivacious Example nimath05 https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214895671 "...the song gives the audience the similar “feel good” effect (to Can't Stop the Feeling), but the harmony is highly dissonant and the melody is both conjunct and disjunct. “Uptown Funk” is not very similar to “Can’t Stop the Feeling”, but the audience still enjoys a similar feeling."]]> 2017-12-11 05:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214895671 More about "Feel Good" Music nimath05 https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214896327 This concept is found rather in message displayed in the lyrics or with the message delivery. It transcends the idea of genres and is nonspecific to a person. ]]> 2017-12-11 05:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214896327 Good Vivations nimath05 https://padlet.com/nimath05/a13gdi7ih4or/wish/214896562 " Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, uses parts like pitch variables from Mark and his low tone to the higher pitch in the female lead vocalist. The sound producer and Mark also seem to use different registers that are complementary, consonant and dissonant harmonies throughout the song, a very unique form that many use an identifier and polyphonic texture that makes the song very unique."
