Music Psychology

In todays session we was listening to music from different tracks and genres to help get a better understanding of how music helps us feel. There was mixed emotions that poured from each track, but each was defined by it's principle, the first song, "Killing in the name of..." was a rather upbeat, high tempo song, that used alot of heavy sounds and symbolises in my opinion with anger, frustration and taking this out on the world, rebelling against an authoritve figure and rules.

I'll relate to another song, that I like. I am an avid Fan of metal music, Disturned, Avenged Sevenfold, Sevendust, Devil Driver, the music I listen to, provides  a rather heavy and deep tone, but one song, i'll cover for this is Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold. This song is rather deep, and sad, like a repentful notion, like regret is felt throughout the entire song, the height of the pitch and tempo in parts of the song provide more timbre in the texture and ambience of the music, and creates a more felt sound giving of more emotion in the voice of the artist.
