this right with when it comes to music. taste differs by some preferred jobs. others love. 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 emotional, 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's even scientifically proven that listening to heavy metal has a positive impact on mental health. how's that you asked?

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 meta vacuum, the small town and she speak holstein, northern germany is home to just to 1000 people. but in august every year, metal fans from around the world flocked to vac and some 65000 have been waiting for this moment. the opening of the so called promised land. and now it's all i for

this price. so anyway, these talk looking, making fans aren't afraid to express their emotions as they share a moment. can you joy ah, does oh the big festivals, but back in that is really huge people. everything is every one is friendly. everything is awesome and real like, uh, finally, uh, 70 by 3000 people. oh, but in a 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 really warm. ah, and how the locals feel about who would have party go, was invading their little town every year.

they stuck on my backroom. 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. kyle, there are no brawls. it's just great. and it sounds like the metal had to switch the locals of their fate and that they really are happier people. but why would heavy metal 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 for stress and angle, but not what about, sorry. i'm convinced that metal elicits in effect analysis that the ancient greeks knew about and used a great. it is haggard here on this is 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 to view that the audience sympathizes with the protagonist in his fight to cleanse themselves of negative notions, such as fear, anger and grief, responded and i met him with it. yes. yeah. the exciting thing about metal music is that adventures. he's a very doc places, the more than others on the i got on the one hand, you've got this 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 devil, i'm mod. unfortunately, that's why i think this music can elicit this cleansing effect. this being dotted even was it guy got this all isn't, isn't that i and again the effects also the caruso is one of the leading experts, the positive psychology and germany, metal musicians, the firm,

his theory of heavy metals, cleansing a fate such as the members of the ukrainian band i t i can compare it with the people who are study some 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 put it to, well, you can allies it, it some kind of way. you don't let your aggression on the family on your friends. you just listen to harmony. heavy metal then can function as a kind of safe space. negative emotions can be let loose on stage owen mosh 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 and 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 bed, just as empathetic, they are 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 other genres can experience the healing affix to 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. a, to sum up, the power of music is great. and especially the power of heavy metal. the metal head community sees itself as one big family. everyone gets on and whenever necessary, any aggression or other negative vibes could be head banged into oblivion. catchy songs, drenched and sold, the las based band gabriel's has a front man, the voice of a name, a

loss, grief death, but also love and hope. these are just some of the themes and the music of the us based trio gabriel's ah, during the process of the album right, lost his mom. i lost his grandmother and i lost a few of my really close friends. my uncle actually. so aside, ah, this is kind of like a i catch a little bit of a tribute album to him a but also a tribute album, canada every one else in the world to as well. like 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. marilyn singer,

jacob lusk is the art angel of the gabriel's, the group. dynamic visual and vocal center, peasy i 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. i could thing really high sing really low. so any time i got the chance of saying i would get really excited to be bagged. oh i it was not good. it was not good at all. but now gotten older, have learned how to use it a little better stolen down, they taught the wall and back from waterfall. i touch 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 choir 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 we 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's 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 now. oh boy, started to think to myself while jacob, you a black boy from thompson and your mother and grandmother with the 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 her ha, 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 act. there are good people,

there really are. ah, his soundtracks, unforgettable classics film compose ano, marconi left, an indelible mark on cinema history. ah, any american is haunting 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 oh, it's the sound of the west and come by written by an italian who never learned to speak english. ah,

laura coney composed all his music here in rome, mostly in his clotted apartment, near the center of the city heavy bow, a lack of abilene sheeka to me, this is an unparalleled house of my father's music roller. 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 yeah, via any marconi, true, unsurprising, often counter intuitive silence and musical stones to evoke the films unspoken, seen, ah, choral music and a soaring soprano express the ecstasy of the bandit. finally finding his buried gold in the good, the bad and the ugly. ah, ah, a haunting pamphlet,

became the cry of the lost innocence. and once upon a time in america, when a child gangster is shot dead and marconi solo violin of the final scene of cinema paradiso, effects the films call themes of childhood, wonder love. and the magic of the movies. ah, born in rome, in 1928 marconi studied trumpets classical composition and direction. here at the acclaimed national academy of santa to tina. but he drew his inspiration from everything around him, only 50 rosella thrust spirits to join us. he liked to say it was perspiration,

the sweat of hard work seek, were me personally, i think it was an issue of culture of mindset that he had a classical musical background and then he studied experimental 20th century music baby mean daddy, that i'm lucy. i didn't know he shan't or he had this idea of always trying something new december. but he should kotik wife goes on dean wadell. it probably will are cold till i got up to the figure that really is the essence of maestro monte connie's music. his ongoing search for new elements for novelty, central ownership in the role of maria kenny's son composed himself, recalls how inspiration would strike there. my name is shawn a. m a de la boy ed. he got it. okay. i can remember when he composed the oboe theme for the mission, the level or a crystal settle, or there were some renovations being done on the room here. and there was a lot of dust and noise and the piano and other instruments had been moved out of

the way. poor victor. but when my father composed that theme, he immediately knew he done something special. a bit of a he called us all in and he played it for us particular we were the 1st to hear that piece of music that now the whole world, nobody else got our room. i wonder i was at home and the telephone rang, kennimore said, oh luck. yes, a queen you t o n you did. ah, and a recent documentary director role and justin recalls how marconi run to hum him the tune, bought up om da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da da and her. 2 i could feel my head doing this because i saw i saw the film in the music

north. any school for the mission was one of 6 schools nominated for an oscar. he and 2 academy awards and lifetime achievement in 2007. and finally, at age, 87 and oscar for the school to the hateful 8 from director and number one, marconi fan. quentin tarantino murray county composed the school without seeing the movie. but his growling the soon and drums, if they both the western setting and the violence to come. murray county soundtracks, one in oscars, grammys and golden gloves. but his greatest passion was performing his music life. speaking to dodge of n in 2017 marconi said live concerts, where he felt most free. ah, lucy kid, me,

she the phil music i watch is constrained by the cinematic images. gears can jack lance, dar like a stop. while caroll metal he curled when it comes to interpreting music, that's a kind of a prisoner. i can't say i have more freedom than i haven't done faster or slower love and be more independent. sure. and the audience loved current trends. so that again, ah, before his death in 2020 my conic curated a new show, a concept of his greatest hits company by classic film clips and behind the scenes footage to be conducted by his son, andrea america. ah . a new mary cooney, the official concert celebration has kicked off its tour in europe. an absolute must for fans of the late great mice time

been now to a song that's been covered countless times, but it's still guaranteed to give you goose powers. hallelujah. i've told with the minor fall, though major them baffled a paper saying that word for thousands of years just to affirm our little journey here. i wasn't much but i couldn't see lennox cohen's best friends 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 hallelujah. 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, 10 off all of his off melancholic songs to unravel life speak questions that 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, or 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 ball. in the early 1980 you see met the french photographer, dominique use them on the pan lived in paris, one place where the song hallelujah took shape. when i asked him said that he had been working 2 years already on the new yet, you know, he was often starting with the song in the morning 1st scene coffee, then working on a living amuse of

molten prayer. the credo of a self doubter flitting between sanctity and desire. you really wont music do there. i don't know how distinguish they are, but there were a lot of verses to the song. hello yo, they go like this. baby i've been here before. i know this room i've walked, is laura law i used to live alone. you reworked the song for 7 years or ah, it's an exploration of of everything that makes us human. whether it's the most base on the, the most um, despairing, the deepest darkest questions that we might have ah,

to the most exalted and the feeling that one gets when one does kind of open one's heart and do the word how yeah, ah record album never came out the space didn't know columbia records of issues with love. i remember that he was crushed after that. only sw works. he did so tans and doing something so precise and so beautiful and say, oh no, no, i'm not interested. it's hard. i to countless users 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, what was happy that the song was being used with. i think people, oh, stop singing for a little while. there's a reason why there are 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. as leonard says, you can raise your fist or say hello your or do both of those is leonard cohen was still touring the world in his seventies, singing of the beauty and burdens of line for his last work you want to dock 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, it 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. doug was look at the emotional power of music announced 21 ball until next time major than the battle in awe with ah, with
