"First, according to research by psychologist John Sloboda, a musical device known
as an appoggiaturausing a note that creates a slightly dissonant sound with the
melodyis especially effective at setting off tears in listeners. Martin Guhn, another
psychologist, explains why it works: "This generates tension in the listener. When
the notes return to the anticipated melody, the tension resolves, and it feels good."
When you put a few appoggiaturas in a row, you get a series of ups and downs,
which in turn gets your brain pumped up enough to cry. It should come as no
surprise, then, that "Someone Like You," has a bunch of notes which act similarly to
appoggiaturas. Plus, Dr. Guhn explains, Adele modulates her voice in a way that
creates even more cycles of tension and release. "

drums"
