[000:00:00;00] ah, you either raise your fist or you say hello you. i try to do both. ah. it's dry with when it comes to music, taste differs white, some preferred jobs,

others love text me. but one thing's for sure. beautiful sounds make us feel something. and that's what today's show is the one about the power of music to elicit emotion, loud, chaotic, aggressive, heavy metal fans, or angry rowdy, people right wrong. let's challenge this assumption. metal heads are actually some of the happiest and most peaceful people around it. even scientifically proven that listening to heavy metal has a positive impact on mental health house that you ask. well, reason number one is that metal heads feel like they're part of one big community. and what better place to see that, that in metal, mecca backin the small town and she speak holstein, northern germany is home to just 2000 people. but in august every year metal fans from around the world flocked to vac and some 65000 had been waiting for this

moment. the opening of the so called promised land. and now it's all i for this crime. no any worse. these talk, looking, making fans aren't afraid to express their emotions as they share a moment. can you joy? ah, the other big bristles, but back in that's really huge people. everything is every one is friendly.

everything is awesome. and bills like i finally of 753000 people. 6 0, buck in with it. so friendly, everyone's always rarely well come in and it's different from festivals in the u. k . festivals in the u. k. can be a bit erratic in a bad and it's not very nice. railey, and hair. it's always rarely warm. ah, and how the locals feel about who would have party goes invading a little town every year. that i always say, these are the most lovable people you'll ever find under how they all stick up for each other and help each other out of china. there are no brawls, it's just great and it sounds like the metal heads, it's with the locals of their feet and that they really are happier people. but why would heavy missile of old genres have such easy going fans?

why not folk music or some other genre? ah, is there something special about metal? it might have to do with reason number 2. metal provides an outlet, distress, and angle. but what about? sorry, i'm convinced that metal elicits, in effect analysis that the ancient greeks knew about and used in great denise is haggard. yeah. on us, it's the theory of catharsis. you can translate that very roughly as cleansing middle i any going to buy that from the theory of catharsis originated with aristotle's theory of tragedy. the ancient greeks held the view that the audience sympathizes with the protagonist in his fight to cleanse themselves of negative notions, such as fear, anger, and grief. respond that and am metro music is the exciting thing about metal. music is that adventures. he's a very doc, places that more than others on the,

i guess. on the one hand you've got is very aggressive. often foss base dominant music, which i think is unique to metal one. on the other, right. there's very little other music who's lyric speak of the murder, manslaughter, death, and with the devil i'm mod. unfortunately, that's why i think this music can elicit this cleansing effect. this being dotted even was it guy that is armed, isn't it, isn't that i and again, the effects our center. nico rosa is one of the leading experts, the positive psychology in germany. metal musicians affirm his theory of heavy metals, cleansing a fact such as the members of the ukrainian band i t i can compare it with the people who are study. i'm to like, sport like box. at most of people who are boxing, they are, were polite, gently, people in their regular life because all their aggression, they looked at the trainings though,

maybe the same thing happens with the rock music you listen were a powerful aggressive sounds. after that, you don't need that aggression to your regular life. it's just, you know, put it to, well, you can allies it, it some kind of way. you don't let your aggression on your family on your friends. you just listen to hardwood heavy metal then can function as a kind of safe space. negative emotions can be let loose on stage. owen mush piece and it does look more fun and more liberating than a therapy session. which brings us to reason number 3. metal leads to feelings of joy and empowerment. a team of researches that look laura university's music lab in sydney ran a study to see if fans of death metal music had become desensitized to violence. the research as findings. we found that in fact, the bias is the same for fans and non fans of violent music,

which suggests that there is no desensitization to violence among fans of death. metal music there just as empathetic, they're just as sensitive to violent depictions. they care just as much about violence outside of the musical context. to outside as heavy metal may, will sound aggressive and intimidating. metal primarily makes its own fans happy to every one else. he can indeed sound intimidating, which negates the positive effect. but don't worry, fans of the other shawn was, can experience the healing affix for their own music. researches in montreal conducted a study in 2021 and found that music has a great effect on the brains reward system. when we listen to our own favorite music, the same areas of the brain are activated as when we consume narcotics. with

to some of the power of music is great. and especially the power of heavy metal. the mental head community sees itself as one big family. everyone gets on and whenever necessary, any aggression or other negative vibes could be head banked into oblivion. catchy songs, drenched and sold, the las based band gabriel's has a front man, the voice of an angel. i lost grief death but also love and hope. these are just some of the themes and the music of the us faced trio gabriel's ah, during the process of the album, ryan lost his mom. i lost his grandmother and i lost

a few of my really close friends. my uncle actually suicide. ah, this is kind of like i catch a little bit of a tribute album to him a but also a tribute album, tiny to everyone else in the world to as well. i keep going hang on. her girlish fan in the groups. highly anticipated debut album is titled angels and queens li. the 1st installment was released in september 2022 maryland singer jacob lusk is the art angel of the gabriel's, the group. dynamic visual and vocal center, pc a jessica ah, raised in a deeply religious family and the rapp mac of compton. in los angeles, the church became his 2nd home growing up. and i was this kid, i had all these tools in my tool box like a thing really high sing really low. so any time i got the chance saying i would

get really excited to be back. oh, i was not good. it was not good at i've been, i've gotten older, have learned how to use it a little better strolling down. they taught the woman by the waterfall ah tough but ah morton. in 2011 jacob lusk was a contestant on the reality television series, american idol. he then worked as a backing singer and directed a church wire while working on a commercial he met film composer ariba lucien and director ryan hope. they formed gabriel's producing music that merges soul gospel jazz electronic music, and r and b. we just became friends in just it. we would get together maybe every 3 or 4 months and just stay together for 3 or 4 days and just write music just for fine just for our soul really. and i think that's why the music is

a little different and why it hits people differently. when we're closer to 3 musicians opened up to each other, exploring their identities through their lyrics. at that time, jacob last did not consider himself to be especially political. he hadn't yet engaged with the black lives matter movement either. but then everything changed to do better. now, oh boy, started to think to myself while jacob, your black boy from thompson and your mother and grandmother went to for stephan. you haven't participated in this movement at all like you a park like that's what i thought to myself. and so i got invited, it was actually brianna taylor's birthday over o at a protest in honor of brianna taylor. the woman shot dead by white police officers in 2020. he sung billie. holidays iconic song, strange fruit. oh, fellow, band member ryan hope later incorporated some of the footage into

a gabriel's music video. gabriel's is a sparkling blend of different music genres, merging the personal with the political. it's also the story of an extraordinary friendship. we are an example of when you have real love, an honest conversation in truth and trust what the world really can look like. i think we've gotten caught up sometimes in the bad of the world that we forget to see that there is good at there are good people there really are. ah, his soundtracks, an unforgettable classics, film composer anyway, marconi left an indelible mark on cinema history. ah

. any american is wanting schools to once upon a time in the west and the good, the bad and the ugly are as famous as the films themselves. ah, blue, william. it's the sound of the western combat written by an italian who never learned to speak english. ah, laura coney composed all his music here in rome, mostly in his class departments near the center of the city, heading down a lack of a billamore seeker. to me, this is an unparalleled house of my father's music. i have memories of directors coming here to talk to my father when they started project, and returning to listen to what he had composed in a well yard rear. and yo marconi true unsurprising,

often counter intuitive sounds and musical stones, to both films unspoken scene, awe choral music and a soaring soprano, expressed the ecstasy of the band at finally finding his buried gold in the good, the bad and the ugly. ah ah, a haunting pamphlet, became a cry of lost innocence and once upon a time in america, when a child gangster is shot dead and marconi so no violin of the final scene of cinema paradiso effects the films cool themes of childhood,

elements or novelty, temporary trip, and marconi son, a composer himself, recalls how inspiration would strike them at the mission of the law. boy, i can remember when he compose the obo theme for the mission, the level already chris was out, or there were some renovations being done in the room here. and there was a lot of dusts and noise, and the piano and other instruments had been moved out of the way. poor very lost. but when my father composed that thing, he immediately knew he done something special, a bit of a he called us all in and he played it for us back to where we were the 1st to hear that piece of music that now the whole world, nobody else could tyrell, i wonder, i was at home on the telephone ran and of course it, ellen? yes, a queen u t o n u yes. ah, and

paper. saying that word for thousands of years just to affirm our little churn here a wasn't much couldn't she leonard cohen's best friend song about the beautiful and frightening truths of human existence? you look around and you see a world that is impenetrable. that so cannot be made sense. so you either raise your service or you say hello you. i try to do both a song as the psych, a graph of an artist. this documentary has captured its very estimate. and basically, everything that preoccupied leonard cohen are being horny and sexual,

being by romantic, about some sense of pure love being a spiritual seeker and a and a jew with a serious judy, the jewish practice, but also being somewhat prone to doubt. leonard cohen didn't handle all of his off melancholic songs to unravel life speak questions, but granted, they help you through the night, the wanna know governor with horn into a jewish family and montreal cohen attended synagogue and became immersed. and biblical stories are critics of his early songs had the work of a dark romantic, a world weary poets. you know, or one of the early critics said in a leonard cohen, the songwriter who write songs that you want to slit your wrists to susan cohen carved out his path with l. s. d and women love pain lost. his relationship fell upon

a new baby born in the early 1980. you see met the french photographer, dominique use them on the pair, lived in paris, one place where the song hallelujah took shape. when i asked him, said that he'd been working 2 years already on that new, yet was often starting with the song in the morning 1st scene coffee. then working on a living, amused a molten prayer, the credo of a self dosa flitting between sanctity and desire. you really won't music do there are, i don't know how distinguish they are but there were a lot of verses to the song. hello you. oh, they go like this. baby i've been here before. i know this room mom was this is

i'm not interested in. harland charge is 2 countless uses, have covered the song, although jeff buckley's rendition is among the most popular at some point though even cohen had heard enough. of course, i was happy that the song was being used with. i think people oh sub. so, you know, for a little while there's a reason why there you 2 clips of people singing it in care of in ukraine. you know, there are people singing in all sorts of moments of great danger and sorrow. and still the song is communicating. this combination is leonard says, you can raise your fist or say hello will your or do both of those is leonard cohen was still touring the world in his seventies singing of the beauty and burdens of light

shearer. his last work you want to talk her was released in 2016 by then leonard cohen's journey was nearing its destination. i'm ready my car. think about that last album, which as an clearly confronting his mortality, came out just a few weeks before he died. but when you get a song like you want a darker, which is a 1000 candles burning, you want it darker, we killed the flame. well, that's if you're going to go there, it's beautiful, it's dark. it's incredible. and that's also a big part of, of leonard cohen. embracing the darkness to its fullest, but also embracing light to its fullest. that was look at the emotional power of music announced 21 ball until next time major than the battle
