COLOGNE, Germany, June 26, 2017 – Songs that sound sad, touch on gloomy themes, or feel melancholy like “Sorry”, #justinbieber; “The Winner Takes it All”, #abba; and “Mr Brightside” by #thekillers, can kick-start your day with a mood boost that is still in effect up to two hours later.
This is among the findings of a new research study into the emotional power of in-car playlists commissioned by #ford, with #spotify and #newyorkuniversity. “Back to Black”, #amywinehouse and “Everybody’s Changing”, Keane would also fall into that category.
What all the songs have in common is both a driving beat and a melancholy feel, which the research showed some #people find the best soundtrack to their daily drive.
