"All audible musical sound is given us for the sake of harmony, which has motions akin to the orbits in our soul, and which, as anyone who makes intelligent use of the arts knows, is not to be used, as is commonly thought, to give irrational pleasure, but as a heaven-sent ally in reducing to order and harmony any disharmony in the revolutions within us."
-Plato

This video had me in tearing up, especially after hearing how Clive felt upon seeing his wife and the subsequent feelings after she leaves. It's such a deeply awesome video. That had me thinking about how lost I would be without music. Then between Jake's video with Neil deGrasse Tyson and this video. I started thinking about moments in my life with listening to certain artist or bands, how things would've changed to now. I had tears rolling down my face by the time Kevin mentioned the painting of "Hope" cause it's so eerily perfect and tragic. And with my life, hope has often been the only thing to cling to. LOVE. THIS. VIDEO!

Dan The Trombone Man You can make music with it, people make music with many things not traditionally considered instruments. Look at the didgeridoo, it is believed that the first didgeridoos were discovered when someone blew into a eucalyptus tree branch that had been hollowed out by termites. Why would you blow into a termite infested branch? It makes a weird sound! So why not use mayonnaise as an instrument, it’s not a traditional instrument but that shouldn’t matter.

Why do we feel emotions when we hear music?

@rafaelcordero6652 7 жыл бұрын

Aldo In the beginning of the video. He states that we process sounds as music in the first stages of our life. My guess is music is the Language that is tied to the psyche of life. So when we hear it, it literally speaks to us directly; not even figuratively

It's often our association with the tones or music. Songs that bring us to nostalgia.

@carpo719 7 жыл бұрын

I can hear certain types of music that move me and others that don't at all. I think it's truly has to do with the Nostalgia of our past and how we connect it. Especially if we hear a song that we may have heard while we were growing up perhaps our parents played it on the radio. But I have studied this for a while in my own life and found that in certain states of mind a person can listen to a song and build a strong connection to it only hearing it once. It often has to do with Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, as well as oxytocin such as in mothers and children. Fathers of course. Our minds build emotional connections to the sounds we hear because that is how we connect to the world around us not to mention protecting ourselves from danger.

I am wondering where Clive Wearing knows his wife from when he can't remember anything? Or maybe I'm just confused...

@eristaylor9936 7 жыл бұрын

I think the memory of relationships is stored differently to the memory of events. Idk

i am married five years now and me and my wife has become one being in many ways.. maybe he lost him-self but retained ( their )combined self through association of the sight of his wife, his love, his other half, and, himself. the same way his memory of music is triggered by muscle memory. the man retained only what he felt to be most important to him in his life.

that's a good question to ask. also he remembers how to read sheet music and where the notes are on the keyboard which is difficult on it's own, even for a healthy person.
