a karen walker, i am on on these places in europe are smashing all the records, stepped into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you are to record breaking sites on google maps, youtube, and now also in book form. for you either raise your fists or you say hallelujah, i try to do both. ah

it's dry with when it comes to music. taste differs white, some preferred jobs, others love techno, 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'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 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 friday anyway. these talk, looking, making fans aren't afraid to express their emotions as they share a moment with joy. ah, oh, the big festivals, but back in that's really huge people. everything is everyone is friendly. everything is awesome and real like, ah, finally of 753000 people. oh, but in a it's so friendly, everyone's always rarely welcoming 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 he would have party goes invading their 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 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 in great. it is haggard here on this is the theory of chaos is you can translate that very roughly as cleansing with ryan

the 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 emotions, such as fear, anger, and grief. respond and am metro. music is the exciting thing about metal music, is that it ventures he's a very dark places that more than others on the i got 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 devil, i'm mod. unfortunately, that's why i think this music can elicit this cleansing effect. this being dotted even was it guy, can this or isn't it, isn't that i and again the effects our center. the co rosa is one of the leading experts to positive psychology and germany. metal musicians affirm his theory of

heavy metals, cleansing effect, such as the members of the ukrainian band i t i can compare it with the people who are not in 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 your family on your friends. you just listen to harmony. heavy mental then can function as a kind of st. space. negative emotions can be let loose on stage or, and mosh pits, 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 is 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 there 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 gene was, can experience the healing affix for their own music. research is in montreal, conducted a study in 2021 and found that music has a great effect on the friends 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 mental head community sees itself as one big family. every one 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 with the voice of an angel, a

loss, 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 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 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. like, keep going, hang on her girlish fan and knowing the groups highly anticipated debut album is titled angels and queens lee. 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, 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. i was this kid, i had all these tools in my tool box. i could thing really high, same, really low. so any time i got the chance saying i would get really excited to be back. oh, i get was not good. it was not good at all. but now i've gotten older. have learned how to use it a little better. scrolling down they tall and i want to fall. i can't touch ah monta. in 2011 jacob lusk was a contestant on the reality television series, american, idaho. 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 it. 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 hits people differently when we're close 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 steph. and 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. ha 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. there are good people,

there really are. ah, his soundtracks, an unforgettable classics. film composer, 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, blue william. 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 doubt, it will not cover them 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 william maria. and you marconi tru unsurprising, often counter intuitive sounds, a 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

a 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 scenes of childhood wonder love. and the magic of the movies ah, born in rome, in 1928, laura county studied trumpets classical composition and direction here at the acclaimed national academy of santa tina. but he chooses the ration from everything around him, only the videos available up to speed up to join us. we like to say it was perspiration. the sweat of hard work seek were me personally,

i think it was an issue of culture of mindset here that he had a classical musical background. then he studied experimental 20th century music baby mean daddy, that i'm lucy. i didn't know he shan't. he had this idea of always trying something new, exemplary shit, kotik, wife goes a dean, wadell it prob you are cold. all i got up to the figure that really is the essence of maestro moiety. connie's music. his ongoing search for new elements, for novelty, similar to been one of them, all of marin county, sun composed himself, recalls how inspiration would strike demo. jimmy sean, a demo de la boy. if he got to go, i can remember when he composed the oboe theme for the mission, the laurie crystal settler, there were some renovations being done in 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 lost. 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. all 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 on the telephone ran and of course it, ellen. yes, a queen u t o n u yes ah, and a recent documentary director roland chelsea recalls her 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 news or so i saw the film in the music.

ah, maria. 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. maria can compose the school without seeing the movie. but his growling the soon and drums, if they both the western setting in the vines to come marconi soundtracks, one who oscars grammys and golden gloves, but his greatest passion was performing his music life. speaking to dorothy then in 2017 marconi said live concerts where he felt most free. ah, lucy, did she?

the film music i watch is constrained by the cinematic images heroes exact lens dark like a stop while caroll metal. he, carol, when it comes to interpreting music, that's a kind of a prisoner at a concert, i have one more freedom. i haven't conduct faster or slower love and be more independent. sure. and the audience, a lovely current trend. so the again, ah, before his death in 2020 marconi curated a new show, a concert of his greatest hits company by classic film clips and behind the scenes footage to be conducted by his son, andrea america. ah . in you marie coney, the official concert celebration has kicked off its tour in europe. an absolute must for fans of the late great meister been now to a song that's been covered countless times,

but is still guaranteed to give you goose powers, hallelujah. told with the for the 5th the waterfall. major live the battle a paper saying that word for thousands of years just to affirm our little churn here. i wasn't much couldn't she leonard 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 cannot be made sense. so

you either raise your service or you say hello you. i try to do both a song as the psychic ralph 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, anna, and a jew with a serious duty to jewish practice. but also being somewhat prone to doubt with leonard cohen den off all of his off melancholic songs to unravel life speak questions, but granted, they help you through the night, the wanna know it's coming up with a 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 poet, 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 19 eighties he 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 and said that he'd been working 2 years already on i knew yet, you know, was often starting with the song in the morning 1st scene coffee then working on in amuse

a modern prayer, the credo of a self, dawson flitting between sanctity and desire you really want 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. my wife is laura law. i used to live alone, he 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 of love. remember that he was crushed after that, only swaps he did so tans and doing something so precise and so beautiful and say, oh no, no, i'm not interested. i can't just 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, i was happy that the song was being used with. i think people, oh, stop singing for a little while. there's a reason why they're youtube 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 lettered says, you can raise your fist or say hello your or do both of those is cor leonard cohen was still touring the world in his seventies singing of the beauty and burdens of life. and 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 has an clearly confronting his mortality. it came out just a few weeks before he died. but when you get a song like you want to darker, which is a 1000 candles burning, you want to darker, we killed the flame. well, that's if you're going to go there, it's beautiful,
