TOP 10 most positive songs according to a music psychologist (10 photos)
Sometimes there is such a gloomy mood that nothing can correct it. But don't underestimate the power of music! She can dispel the thickest clouds with just one chorus. Curious how music does this? Music psychologist and Dr Michael Bonshore from the University of Sheffield has the answer. He even made the TOP 10 most positive songs of all time. So, how did he put together this playlist and what songs made it to the list - find out further!
Michael Bonshore has created a formula for songs that radiate joy. In addition to the obvious major key, the doctor noted the song's optimal tempo of 137 beats per minute, the classic pop structure of "verse-chorus-verse-chorus", short introductions, bright, repeating guitar riffs (brass are also welcome), the presence of a seventh chord, as well as an element of surprise , such as changing the key.
Sounds pretty crazy. But everything will become clear if you listen to these songs. Be sure to put them in your player and your mood will instantly improve and a smile will freeze on your face.
