This music genre is relatively new, as it appeared only in the second half of the 20 century. Initially, this genre was composed by an American sound artist, Steve Roden.
He characterized it as a specific type of music that “bears a certain sense of quiet and humidity, does not demand attention, and must be discovered” (Bandcamp Daily 2019). Indeed, listening to the songs written according to the main standards of this style, one can feel peace and quickly turn into a relaxing atmosphere. In terms of the song “Life So Right”, it helps a listener to recover after a long working day. Also, it gives an understanding that all the problems and life vanity are not that important as internal harmony in one’s heart.
Leave me Alone
“Leave me Alone” is a popular song of the 1980s, composed and performed by an Englishman Bernard Sumner and his colleagues Peter Hook and Stephen Morris. Together, they formed a rock band “New Order”, which was previously known as “Joy Division”. The song is written in the rock genre, which originated in the 1950s in the United Kingdom and formed based on blues and country music.
Even though the song is played by bass guitars and drums, “Leave me Alone” did not turn out to be very loud and disturbing. Instead, it is vivid and energetic and brings positive and warm vibes. The motive of the song is mainly built only on two chords, but it did not make the sound of the composition too simple. Even though this song was created more than 30 years, due to its casual tone, one can never be tired of listening to it.
