Just of curiousity, I'm wondering if you can understand, on an "intellectual" level at least, why some songs are "sad" or "happy" or whatever.

For example, here is a song that makes me cry more than just about any other song. I think most people would agree it's a sad, melancholy song. There are particular parts of this song which really affect me, but if you would, listen to the song amd tell if you can understand why some people might think it's "sad," even if it does nothing for you personally:

First Episonde at Hienton

Now here's a "happy" song. It makes me want to bop up and down and snap my fingers.

Linus and Lucy

I'm wondering if you can understand the differences between the two songs and see why the first one is sad and the second one is happy. Just curious.
