Happy Happy Happy | Using “Happy” in Songs, & More ||: HHV 1-2

“Happy Happy Happy!” — “Happy” threads through our adventures this week: major chord, sad songs with happy music, tempo and the happiness indicator. We also dive into Folk-Pop over a few songs to distil its characteristics. Hooks: upper vocal range urgency, vocal gymnastics, and dynamic and emotional contour are all part of the mix. Let’s go! In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a short-form music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and the subtle musical decisions that quietly do their work. Follow Hits and Hooks Vignettes, and join me, TuneMoose Matt Bates, for a weekly short walk through musicland!
