I have no clue about the emotional vs harmonic content. I just wanted to point out this track has the opposite effect on me. Makes me happy .

Well, at this point is clear the track transmits a dual feeling.

For me it is almost melancholic.

Is this some kind of trap or is the serious, curious.

So much box gap in that video.

Maybe all the box gap is causing you to have emotions.

I thought i was the only one who can get emotional from cheesy songs.



And i think "Better Off Alone" is even a better example of that duality you are speaking of.

It's Probably just nostalgic value of it all.

I'm not gonna listen to that crap, but if I recall correctly these melodies follow the 4chord pop template. So that's probably why you like it.

Showing my age here, but I was in high school when Don Henley released the original and covered this song in countless cover bands - it was sorta mandatory to cover this song in every dive bar until about the mid-90s. Anyway, I digress, but I don't think sad or melancholy are emotions that I've ever gotten from it, especially not this cheesy (and I mean that in a good way) remake of it. But, I can see where it could, especially if nostalgia is invoked, as Viber mentioned.

I don't recall what key the original is in and I'm work so I can't figure out the chords to this one now (probably Gmaj or F#maj, based on the vocal range). The vocals on the original are pretty high for most guys, but just about right (or maybe a half-step or so low) for most girls, and I'm pretty sure I've played it in everything from F#maj to Amaj. From what I recall, it's a pretty basic 4-chord pop progression, as mario said. From memory/ear, the verse is just vi, IV, V (i.e., has a minor/sad feel to it), and the chorus is I, V, IV (i.e., has a major/happier feel to it). It also has some extensions/suspensions on the chord variations, which definitely makes it more interesting than many standard pop progressions.

Ha, you used my way to represent minor keys within a major context which is the way people do it with good ears and like to keep things simple.

You used to always use the aeolian VII VII I.

Here is another one. Not as much as Sammy or D'Agostino, but still...


Do you find that track sad/melancholic?

Mate, it can't be nostalgia cause I never really liked or listened these tracks in the past. I believe there is some dark energy in these progressions. The question is if it was meant or it is by pure accident.

Alice Deejay also has some tracks that sadden me.

lol dark energy. there is nothing special about those chords. it is nostalgia. pop has been using those chords for decades. `Wagner was using that progression. I mean it is pretty fucking old.

i did not find it sad. If i was a twinky rtaver with my raver boyfriend and we were really fucking high giving each other candy kisses, i would find this happy and beautiful.



this is rather dark , not gonna use sad but impossible for most to hear as happy.
