Many studies have shown great benefits for babies when they are exposed to music, Accelerating the brains development particularly in areas such as language development and reading skills. Learning to play instruments helps develop numerical and problem solving abilities. Academic success is not where it ends. Music has the ability to access all parts of the brain allowing for all areas of the child to be developed. Emotionally for babies it is soothing and relaxing, allowing them to grow and develop in a safe nurturing environment building their confidence.

It would be nice if you could help me out folks, I think my main problems are my melodies at the moment and I watched so many tutorials and try to make a dark chord progression but always end up with that same kind of happy beats. Is it my sound selection? Or is there something with my chord progression I didn't notice?

It makes the social media rounds every Sept. 21, per the lyrics, but this disco-R&B groover is an instant mood enhancer no matter the time of year. Want an even greater blast of serotonin? Watch comedian Demi Adejuyigbe annual music videos set to the song.

Unfortunately, many tribes stopped dancing their traditional dances with the advent of progress and major religions. But Africans never stopped dancing. 

 

Popular music is heard everywhere even when you walk the streets. Out of homes, restaurants, making everybody feel good with that rhythm that only Africans knows how to produce.

The engineering challenge of music mood analysis comes with developing and improving upon algorithms to analyze these musical components of a signal, and then make a decision based upon their relative amounts. This analysis also relies heavily on a number of pre-existing DSP algorithms such as the fast Fourier transform (FFT), which will take a signal from the time domain and display the amounts of various frequencies present. Algorithms for analysis tend to run slowly, and their speed can be improved through code optimization. Their accuracy can also be improved through further experiments and collection of data on various song types.

"Happy" is a song written, produced, and performed by American musician Pharrell Williams, released as the only single from the soundtrack album for the film Despicable Me 2 (2013). The song was first released on November 21, 2013, alongside a long-form music video. The song was reissued on December 16, 2013, by Back Lot Music under exclusive license to Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music.[1] The song also served as the lead single from Williams's second studio album, Girl (2014).

The music video for "Happy" was nominated for Best Male Video and Video of the Year at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. It also won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.[7][8] The song was Billboard's number-one single for 2014.

"Happy" plays for 3 minutes and 53 seconds[1] in common time and at a tempo of 156 beats per minute. The song is written in the key of F minor.[17] Williams sings the upper notes in falsetto; his vocal range spans from F3 to C5.[17] His singing on the track has been compared to that of Curtis Mayfield.[18][19]

"Happy" is a mid-tempo soul and neo soul song.[20][21] According to music journalist Paul Tingen, "Happy" is "a mid-tempo ... song in a faux-Motown style, with an arrangement that is, by modern standards, very sparse: programmed drums, one bass and one keyboard part, and handclaps both programmed and played, all topped off by Williams's lead vocals and a whole posse of backing vocals".[20] Jody Rosen viewed the song as a "standout" with a "sprightly neosoul funk groove".[18]

A four-minute edit of the video was also released onto the iamOTHER and Pharrell's own YouTube channel on November 21, 2013, and January 8, 2014 respectively; both videos have received over 1 billion views as of January 2023.[55][56] It was nominated for Best Male Video and Video of the Year at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.[7][8] The 24-hour music video for "Happy" was also projected at the Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema in April 2014.[57]

In April 2014, the Embassy of the United States, Yerevan, Armenia released a video titled "Happy Yerevan", directed by Artyom Abovyan featuring US ambassador John A. Heffern and several Armenian celebrities, such as singers Andr, Emmy and Aram Mp3.[60][61] The same month artsmedia Albania produced a music video for the track featuring inhabitants of Tirana. The video soon became popular in Albania and caused controversy over the usage of images of Albanian First Secretary Enver Hoxha.[62]

In 2014, American musician "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied "Happy" as "Tacky" on his fourteenth studio album Mandatory Fun. The song mocks questionable style in fashion as well as activities considered gauche. Yankovic recorded the song as one of the last on Mandatory Fun, and received Williams' approval directly, through email. He remarked he was "honored" to have his work spoofed by Yankovic.[71] The song's one-shot music video parodies "Happy", and was the first in a series of eight videos released over eight days in promotion of Mandatory Fun. It features cameo appearances by Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal, and Jack Black, and was produced by Nerdist Industries.[72][73]

Until now, neuroimaging studies investigating emotional responses to music have focused solely on classical instrumental music (for reviews, see Koelsch, 2010; Brattico and Pearce, forthcoming). The majority of behavioral studies of music-induced emotions also utilized instrumental music, though derived from a larger variety of genres (see, however, Lundqvist et al., 2009, where pop music with lyrics was used to evoke emotional responses in listeners although the presence of lyrics did not constitute an experimental variable). However, people worldwide often listen to pop and rock music, containing lyrics or vocal parts (Nettle, 1983; Music and Copyright, 2010). The message in songs is carried both by the melodic and the linguistic channels. Only very recently, neuroscientists have begun to determine the underlying neural networks governing song perception and how they are distinct from the neural networks processing speech alone or music alone. Convergent findings indicate that song perception does not require a dedicated neural network but rather a blend of brain structures associated with musical sound and phonological processing; these include left temporo-frontal regions, more involved in language processing, and right temporo-frontal regions, associated more with music processing (Gordon et al., 2010; Sammler et al., 2010; Schn et al., 2010). Nonetheless, it is not known how lyrics affect the brain processing of emotions in music.

Few behavioral and computational studies have shown that basic emotion recognition in music is affected by the presence of lyrics, and these studies have had contradictory findings. In Laurier et al. (2008) and Cho and Lee (2006), emotion recognition accuracy was improved by including lyrics information in algorithms for automatic classification of happy and sad musical emotions, whereas for angry or violent emotions, the algorithm did not improve classification substantially. A very recent computational study further showed that the emotion itself determines whether or not lyrics have a role in automatic musical mood classification (Hu et al., 2010): compared to the audio set alone, an audio feature set in combination with lyrics produced higher hits in automatic mood classification for selective negative emotions. The opposite effect was found in the classification of positive emotions: the audio set by itself elicited more accurate classification of positive emotions in comparison to the acoustic combined with the semantic set. In another behavioral study (Ali and Peynircioglu, 2006), unfamiliar classical and jazz instrumental melodies, representing four discrete emotions, were either paired with lyrics of pop songs adapted to match with the melodies or played alone. Listeners rated happy and calm music without lyrics as more intensely representing positive emotions than music containing lyrics with semantic content congruent to the musical emotion (Ali and Peynircioglu, 2006). Conversely, the opposite effect was obtained for sad music: emotionally congruent lyrics contributed to the intensity of negatively perceived emotions compared to instrumental music alone.

With the present study, we wished to contribute to the growing literature investigating the brain structures responsible for the processing of music with or without linguistic content. We hypothesized that songs with lyrics, in contrast to instrumental music, would activate the left fronto-temporal language network, whereas music without lyrics would recruit right-hemispheric brain structures. Second, we wanted to generalize the identification by Khalfa et al. (2005) and Mitterschiffthaler et al. (2007) of neural correlates of sadness and happiness in classical instrumental music with a larger more ecological musical selection, including pieces from a variety of genres and timbres. In line with evidence from neuroimaging studies of hemispheric specialization for spectro-temporal processing (Zatorre et al., 2002), we also expected to observe the activation of left-hemispheric auditory areas by happy music (richer in fast spectral transitions) and of the right-hemispheric areas by sad music (most likely containing slower attacks and tempos). Third, and most importantly, we investigated the role of lyrics in modulating the neural processing of basic emotions expressed by music. Our rationale derives from a set of observations: 1. The majority of music listened to in the world consists of pop/rock songs, containing lyrics. 2. One of the basic motivations for listening to (rock/pop) music lies in its power to induce emotions (Laukka, 2007; McDonald and Stewart, 2008). 3. The neural correlates of musical emotions have been investigated so far mainly by using instrumental music of the classical genre, completely disregarding the putative importance of lyrics in a musical emotional experience. To enhance the understanding of neural mechanisms operating during the processing of basic musical emotions, we wished to determine whether music containing lyrics and instrumental music alone evoke similar emotions and activate comparable brain structures. Based on previous behavioral literature, we hypothesized that the activation of the limbic system associated with emotion processing in music would be affected by the presence of lyrics but in a non-linear way dependent upon the actual emotional content. More specifically, we predicted that sad music with lyrics would recruit emotion-related brain areas when compared with sad instrumental music; in contrast, happy instrumental music would be more efficient in inducing and expressing emotions, as reflected by the activation of the limbic system, than happy music with lyrics. ff782bc1db
