how does it do that? we listen close parts $21.00 on dw blue. what people have to say matters to us. but me, that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. o, you either raise your fists or you say hello you. i try to do both. ah.

this right 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's 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 meta backin 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 55000 have been waiting for this moment. the opening of the so called promised land. and now it's all good. for

this cry. any worse? these top looking metal fans aren't afraid to express their emotions as they share a moment. can you joy? ah does all the big bristles, but back in that is really huge people, everything is for every one is friendly, everything is awesome and really like, i finally of 75000 people. oh wow. but in a, it's 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 goes in baiting their little town every year. that

i always say, these are the most lovable people you'll ever find on the high. 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 slip the locals off 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 musical samantha genre, ah, is this something special about metal? it might have to do with reason number 2. metal provides an outlet, distress, and angle, but not what about, sorry, i'm convinced that metal elicits, in effect, you know, that the ancient greeks knew about and use degrade. it is good. yeah. and if it's the theory of catharsis, you can translate that very roughly as cleansing middle i any going about that from

the theory of catharsis originated with arrows, totals, theory of tragedy. the ancient greeks held the view that the audience sympathizes with the protagonist and his fight to cleanse themselves of negative emotions, such as fear, anger, and grief. respond that, and our metro music is. yeah, the exciting thing about metal music is that it ventures into very dark places that are more than others on the, i guess. on the one hand you've got is very aggressive. often foss based dominant music, which i think is unique to metal on the other right. there's very little other music who's lyric speak, of 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 isn't, was it guy, can this armed, isn't it, isn't that i and again, the effects our summer league rosa is one of the leading experts to 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 some to like the 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 your 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 metal then can function as a kind of st. space. negative emotions can be let loose on stage or in the mosh pit, and it does look more fun and more liberating than a therapy session. which brings us to reason number 3. measurement leads to

feelings of joy and empowerment. a team of research is it. look for universities, music lab in sydney ran a study to see if fans of death metal music had become since ties 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. they're 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. it can indeed sound intimidating,

which negates the positive effect. but don't worry, fans of the other shawn was, can experience the healing, affix their own music. researches 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. everyone gets on and whenever necessary, any aggression or other negative fights could be head banked 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, yes, during the process of the album, ah, ryan lost his mom. i lost his grandmother and i lost a few of my really close friends. my uncle actually, to suicide. ah, this is kind of like a i catch a little bit of a tribute album to them 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 lee. the 1st installment was released in september 2022 marilyn singer,

jacob lusk is the art angel of the gabriel's, the group's dynamic, visual and vocal center, pc. until i got the position 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 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. scrolling down they taught the woman by waterfall ah tough but ah! 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 and just we, 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 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 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 imbibed 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 song billy, 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 and honest conversation and 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, like, 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, a department 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 william maria. and you marconi tru unsurprising, often counter intuitive sounds and musical stones, to both films unspoken, seen, ah, choral music and a saw in soprano express, the ecstasy of the band. it 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 shock date and marconi so no violin of the final scene of cinema paradiso effects the films cool themes of childhood, wonder love. and the magic of the movies. 6 ah, born in rome, in 1928 marconi studied trumpets classical composition and direction here at the acclaimed national academy of santa tina. but he to us inspiration from everything around him, a move if any of those added another thrust spirits to join us, he liked to say it was perspiration, the sweat of hard work squirming. personally,

i think it was an issue of culture of mind set up properly. he had classical musical background and then he studied experimental 20th century music. mean that it was here. i didn't know he had this idea of always trying something new. the same shit kind of course and the mobile problem i called to and i got up to the city. that really is the essence of maestro monte. connie's music is ongoing search for new elements or novelty, 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

little. but when my father composed that thing, he immediately knew he'd done something special. then he called us all in and he played it for us all got to go out. 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 e l. yes. ah, and recent documentary director roland chelsea recalls her marconi run to hum him the tune, bought up ahm da da da da da da da da da da m o . 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 murray county composed the school without seeing the movie. but his growling the soon and drums, if they both the western setting in the vines to come with marie county soundtracks, one in 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, separated me, she,

the film music i watch is constrained by the cinematic images gales their exact length like a stop while caroll metal. he, carol, when it comes to interpreting music, that's a kind of a prisoner, i think concert i have one more freedom. i haven't been dug faster or slower, love and be more independent. sure. and the audience, a lovely like trend. so the again, ah, before his death in 2020, my kind of 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. in you maria coney, the official concert celebration has kicked off it's ter in europe, an absolute must for fans of the late great meister

been now to a song that's been covered countless times, but it's still guaranteed to give you goosebumps, hallelujah. i've told with the for the 5th, the minor fall, the major them 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 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. so

you either raise your fists or you say hallelujah. i tried 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 ah, 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, good jewish practice. but also, being somewhat prone to doubt with leonard cohen didn't handle all of his off melancholic songs to unravel life speech questions that granted they help you through the night. the wanna know it's covered up with horn, into a jewish family, and montreal cohen attended synagogue and became immersed and biblical stories.

oh, critics of his early songs had the work of a dark romantic, a world weary poets, you know, or one of the early critics. and you know, 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, the 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 pan, 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, you know, was often starting with the song in the morning 1st scene coffee then working on in amuse

and prayer, the credo ever self doubt. flitting between sanctity and desire. but 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. i walked as laura law. i used to live alone, you rework the song for 7 years or ah, it's an exploration of, of everything that makes us human. whether it's the most base ah, 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. i remember that he was crushed after that. only sw works. he did so hansen doing something so precise and so beautiful and say, oh no, no, i'm not interested. a 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, or 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 there 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 will your or do both of those is secret. 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 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 was an clearly confronting his mortality. it came out just a few weeks before he died. but when you get a song like you wanna 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 in awe with ah,
