Subwoofer lullaby from Minecraft: https://youtu.be/Gpd85y_iTxY

Please note that I’m not referring to nostalgia from having played Minecraft a long time ago. The song felt this way since I heard it the first time.

Here’s another song that has a similar feeling to it https://youtu.be/usjnkZVshLc

Is there such a concept as ‘liminal music’?

It’s not exactly the same as frisson, I think, but it still makes me feel goosebumps sometimes

    I’m not sure if there’s a name for the feeling, but often, the reason we feel that way about certain pieces of music is because they feature minor keys instead of major keys.

    Major keys = happy Minor keys = sad

    That said, I don’t think either of your examples are in minor keys.

    In other Minecraft music news, this is pretty great.
