Krystine I. Batcho博士说,伤感的歌会使人感怀过去,激发人的同情、恻隐跟宽恕之情。 毫不奇怪,人们喜欢欢快的歌。比如Pharrell Williams的《开心》、Meghan Trainor的《我就像那低音贝司》以及Beatles乐队的《黄色潜水艇》。
但也许我们都会同意,这是一曲悲歌。可能在外星人的料想中,我们人类会觉得这种音乐很压抑且让人生厌。But to all of us Adele’s songs say: you are not alone in your pain. They let us feel her pain, share our suffering, and connect with others past and present. And in the sharedness of our humanity is beauty.
