POP CULTURE: Why Music Works

What the hell is it with the narrator's voice?

I was wondering why my life was a mistake but then i noticed i had no music in it

"the musician can trump anything the philosopher has to tell us" - so true 😥

Can you do a video about 60's and 70's rock?

fuck pop music, the loves brand of art

Thank you for including Salif Keita!!!!

Wow, I'm just astonished every single time I explore one of your episodes! They're all packed with the important and actually HELPFUL ideas that are directed toward our emotions and characters, something that resonates deeply with me, and will be a great inspiration for my own duty in the world.

Thank you for your service.

happy to see and hear Salif Keita

Indonesian subs please

Salif Keita, some African legendary stuff right there.

I love youu the school of life :))

What was the name of the movie with zooey deschanel ???

stolen Kafka quote :O

I literaally teared up.

Music doesn't work you fools. It's distracting when piped into the public's ear without consent. Esp in stores, cafes, and banks where one is trying to make decisions about purchasing something or having a conversation. It's terrible. Yes music is important, but it's been abused. What if you don't want to have your emotions altered while you are shopping or reading a book? This is so one sided...sorry but you people have no idea that Pop music is a big lie, a big distraction trying to get you to the next commercial. The worst thing about it is the time you've allowed your children to listen to dumb songs rather then letting them find a purpose for their future lives.

The narrator sounds very similar too Lemmino
hmmmmmmmm

"Truly there would be reason to go mad were it not for music."
-Tchaikovsky

[after reading the short description of this video]... and i was wondering why the link to the script for this video wasn't working (i.e. not the words, but the feelings of muziks...)

“Music is a science, it heals depression, it awakens, most people don’t know, they just take music for an entertainment, something to dance to, and enjoy yourself and you go to bed and forget it tomorrow, music must never be forgotten, it’s like a fountain that keeps on flowing.”
- Peter Tosh

Aphex Twin.

….awesome clip…..

We fail to express ourselves because languages do not cover the spectrum of feelings, not because we can't utilise words properly.
And the comes music, it tries hardly to take responsibility and it does so well, but there's always a shortage ..
The day we are finally able to express ourselves perfectly is not a day i look forward to.
Life is in the possibilities of the imagination.


As Kafka said: every language is but a terrible translation

You should do a video on why the sound of your voice gets more view. Seriously. Great narrative voice.

💗🎶Music=Life🎶💗

Another question, what is music? What separates words said in certain voice, like a poem sang, or a sweet word from a lover is that even music, what about Acapella does the lack of instruments affect how it makes us feel , or the wailing in burials or in danger is that even music, and it still affects us emotionally, What about chants? Animals? Nature sounds?

so why does music work???

Parents: “it’s your phone give it to me”
School: “do better”
Friends: “you suck”
Music: “it’s okay I’m here for you”

Activity namin be like:

What was that black and white video with the girl crying

music is the worst waste of time EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whose in the thumbnail?

God created humankind to fill His creation with music beyond birdsong and the drums of thunder.

Please Recommend a great musical playlist. Thanks in advance.

Lovely to hear James Blake

Calling music just a "mood adjuster" makes it sound as if it just pushes some button in us, which generates the emotion. But I feel like somehow we experience specific melodies as arguments that try to say: this is what life is like. ( transcribed in the language of a part of us that can’t follow our logical arguments.) The resulting emotions are thus not directly caused by the music but are our response to being emotionaly persuade of those arguments. (For example: Yes, that is what life is like! There is hope when you least expect it) That's why different people have similar but sometimes completely different emotional responses to the same melody. Just like being persuaded of a rational idea will make different people feel differently.

I grew up in the 90s, music was very special to all of us. First of all, the only way the access music was to buy the audio casette or CD. I had to save a month of lunch money to buy an album. This made us appreciate it a lot more. The best part was calling all your friends home because you had the latest album. We friends would get together create mix tapes for each other, listen together and act like we were performing in a concert! I realise the main this was the shared experience, musoc gave us something to do together. Once we grew up and we started having chance to drive a car, we friends would be singing our favorite songs at the top of our voices! Man ... Those were the best days of my life.
