Ice-cold shower, cereals stirred fourteen times, each one its own little morning rituals. Many launch the Music app as soon as they wake up. On average, the French listen to fifteen hours of song each week. But what melody manages to get you out of bed with a smile? “Morning dance”, “Midnight demons” … These melodies make us happy. A Dutch neuroscientist has reportedly found three reasons for this: positive lyrics, a tempo of 150 beats per minute, and major key notes. The scientist even put forward a classification of melodies that are good. The Beach Boys’ track “Good Vibrations” takes third place, Abba’s “Dancing Queen” takes second. The first position is attributed to the song “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen. Listening to music is good. Singing at the same time is better. “We will be able to express emotions which would not have enough words to describe them”, explains Nicolas Luciani, vocal coach and composer. “Sing, sing, sing, shout … Express yourself above all,” he continues.
