Here’s a fun little musical experiment from The Gregory Brothers. They flipped major and minor keys in popular songs to transform previously happy songs into sad ones and turn old depressing sad songs into happy ones. It sends your brain in a tizzy when you hear the words of songs you recognize but see them in a whole new light.

Watch Jackson, an awesome four-year-old kid, become overwhelmed by a beautifully sad song while riding in his Dad’s car. He tries to fight off the tears but he can’t help it. He starts crying because the music is so touching but he doesn’t want to change the song. He can’t. He takes off his glasses to feel the hurt even more. Even if it’s so sad, he loves it. It’s an adorable struggle to see him embrace the emotions of music. We have all felt like this kid before. We still do.

One more time. Even if you wear earplugs, turn off the radio and stay away from noisy clubs, you know Daft Punk’s song ‘One More Time’.

Here, EDM producer Sadowick Production reveals how Daft Punk made the song from a sample the French duo says they didn’t use. It’s quite shocking how easy it was to recreate.

Not everyone’s lucky enough to have a musician for a boyfriend or girlfriend. If you want a song that’s truly created for you, then you might want to check out IDNAtity.
It’s a fun musical app that composes a song for you based on your genetic code. Of course, the app doesn’t require a DNA sample – it starts off by asking you to upload a picture of yourself and answer a series of questions regarding your appearance, like your eye, hair, and skin color. IDNAtity will then generate your genetic code and create a song that you can listen to and maybe even share with others.
The app provides several instruments for your song, from orchestra instruments to bird tweets.
IDNAtity is available on the iTunes App Store for $0.99(USD).

Different folks like different music for different kinds of work. Some don’t like background tunes at all. But when it comes to typing—real non-stop "I’ll clean it up later" typing—you can get into a serious groove, and the right soundtrack

Ever bought a track from iTunes? Well, turns out, if you did you’re in good company, with Apple revealing that over 25 billion songs in total have been purchased from the store. Wondering what song was the record breaker? That’d be Monkey Drums (Goksel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch. No? Us neither. Said song was bought by one lucky German, Phillip Lüpke, snagging the music fan a €10,000 iTunes voucher at the same time. And who said there was no money in the music business these days.
“I can’t remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside… the day the music died.”
