Singer Songwriter?
I think it might be a kind of dramatized emotional power ballad style. I used to listen to such things a lot, they have an urge, a longing in them that breaks free, reaching a breaking point after which the way leads into an unknown. In a movie they might accompany a scene where the protagonist is at a decisive turning point in the story, almost like soundtracks to life if it were a movie. Some of the songs id categorize this way are:
Magda - Wieso
Pixies - Where is my mind?
Fontaines D.C. - Bug
Keane - somewhere only we know
Adele - Skyfall
Stones - Gimme shelter
30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens
Bowie - Heroes
Europe - Final countdown
Might be sth entirely different tho an totally wrong im rly tired rn but ur post grabbed me. 👍
I love Creep, i am repulsed by Dog days (particularly the "The Do-o-og" part), and i don't know the 3rd one, so to me they're not similar.
Idk but if you have a Playlist, please share it.
Crooning is likely the technique you are hearing. Its a singing technique that emulates the singer being very emotionally close, right up on the mic.
I think this is the term.
I mean, there's obviously subgenres, and it's not like it's Dean Martin and the Rat Pack crooning anymore.
But there's a lot of great crooning bands that are still going strong today.
One adjacent term is “frisson”: when it’s so sublimely awesome it gives you chills.
Ceaseless ascension? Songs that keep building up to a major crescendo
Do they get to the crescendo? I don't know much about music but trying my hand and took some course and there was a comment 'listen to this one it sounds like it's building the entire song' but the song never gets there. Bit melancholy/sad type tones chord progression but seems like it's epic in its sound. Course the epic part may be due to the composer knowing his stuff but the idea was a chord progression that kept building to nowhere.
So curious of that sounds about right for your description. I forget the name but when the instructor put a link I was like oh yeah that song, like lots of movies or probably commercials used similar for the emotion. À
Just be cool to know another name if that sounds right is all. Enjoy finding more examples to compare and notice what makes the sound (even if I can't reproduce it)
I feel like that describes half of Elton john's music
Symphonic Indie-Pop?
I call those tunes "certified fresh" in our house. I get frisson / goosebumps all the time from good music and I always call out "certified fresh" to the gang when I do and show off my arm (this is in the car a lot when I have the kids with me).
I can't see much in common between those tunes except that they're bangers and would almost certainly cause some goosebumps for me.
i think what you mean is just called "beautiful" by some people.
Country and/or western?
Both kinds of music?
