- "All audible musical sound is given us for the sake of harmony, which has motions akin to the orbits in our soul, and which, as anyone who makes intelligent use of the arts knows, is not to be used, as is commonly thought, to give irrational pleasure, but as a heaven-sent ally in reducing to order and harmony any disharmony in the revolutions within us."
-Plato

What Is Music? - Наука та технологія
Shoutout to your arm for holding the lantern that entire time. 👀
Austin Evans I'm all about those lantern gains.
I just came from Austin's channel lol
Austin Evans Hi Austin!
Hey guys!
Just trying to balance the left arm with the regular right arm work out? ;)
I could literally watch three hours of this man talking about soap.
Same
Guy Colby Same.
If he ever does' I'm sure it'll be way more interesting and informative than 99,9% youtube and all the media is
Vsauce will probably have more than three hour's worth to say about soap.
But what is soap...
1:11 imagine this being the first thing you see after you are born
Robe E lol
Hey Vsauce, Kevin here...
You've just be born
How do we know we didn't?
😂😂😂😂
"My voice is touching your eardrums and moving it in and out"
I DID NOT CONSENT.
"Is a drill...music?"
yup definitely a vsauce video
Yup.. Avant Garde music. It's a "genre". And "Danger music". Strange things..
Marc It would be interesting to make a song using tools as instruments. Like a hammer banging as a kick drum, the drill on different speeds to create a melody, a saw cutting through wood to create a bass line etc.
I might actually do this one day :)
drill music is a genre look it up
Ions Two: So, Andrew Huang ?
John Cage smiles from beyond the grave
I cannot imagine how immensely alone and confused that man felt.
Cobalt Exactly
Neither can he...
Romeo Ferrari Damn....that's deep
Hahaha I'm sorry, just trying to make light of the situation. It's absolutely tragic in reality and I really feel for the guy. Such a cruel world
+Romeo Ferrari he did feel lonely and lost. "it's like being dead" he did know who his wife was. he did realize himself. that's why it's so tragic.
"As long as you have music and the ability to embrace meaning from the sounds around you, you CANNOT be alone. That, is hope."
That statement made me weep. Thank you Kevin.
Andrew Johnson But who or what exactly is with us then ?
Music.
Well... It reminds me of deaf people.
lol when i started reading your comment, he started saying that.. it was like i was reading subtitles XD that timing
Hi Andrew Johnson. I wept too.
Vsauce 1- Mind=Blown
Vsauce 3- Thats... Cool, I guess
Vsauce 2- on the verge of tears. “Beautiful.”
The father, the son, and the holy spirit
@@outbreakperfected9374 😂😂😂👍
Seriously.
Up yours, 3 is awesome. XD
I love all vsauces
If i decide to procrastinate later, would i be procrastinating?
Zuni NAIN Woah!
NNNNGH
yes.
Zuni NAIN Procrastacrastanating
Meta procrastinating
This broke my heart a bit. The thought of losing music terrifies me.
The Doctor Plays Video Games -phile means love of that's not bad. It's just the negative connotations around a couple of words that end that way.
"Li- li- liiiiife, without mu- mu- musiiiiiiic, is like li- li- liiiiiife without looooooooove"
Music keeps me afloat especially when Im exhausted. And for that same reason it terrifies me to lose hearing.
This why I have always said that I would rather be blind than deaf if I had to pick one. Would you pick deafness over being blind if you had you pick one?
*Jean Edwards* Music is too amazing and important.
You Know the drill
It made music…
MUSIC IS BASICALLY...OR SIMPLY...A SOUND...
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
That's the scrum from "Won't Get Fooled Again", by the way.
It was industrial house
*plays black metal at your grocery store*
"you know what jane, we need some candles and a pig head."
Are the pig heads for scaring off the posers?
Aww yes. Or even better dark chocolate and beef jerky.
Kevin's videos keep getting better and better.
tj gi so true
They remind me of the really old Vsauce videos.
I find myself crying at some of these videos, the mars one made me cry in a public library anyone else get this.
dnguyen253 exactly my thoughts. this Vsauce is the new old Vsauce.
Yeah I'm gonna click on the small bell one of these days
I can't believe how much work went into getting all these old films and putting them together just for the sake of this video. Great work from the production team there!
I find all the footage and edit the video. It's one of my favorite parts of the creation process. I'm really glad you enjoyed it too!
Vsauce2 that just speaks volumes not only to the genuine passion you have, but to the amount of effort that goes into every video. Great job, I especially enjoyed this one!
wow uhh brag much?? lol jk ily
Cow17 copy paste your realy impressed by that. if it was your job it can be done in a day
Cow17 I know right, this video blew my mind
This video had me in tearing up, especially after hearing how Clive felt upon seeing his wife and the subsequent feelings after she leaves. It's such a deeply awesome video. That had me thinking about how lost I would be without music. Then between Jake's video with Neil deGrasse Tyson and this video. I started thinking about moments in my life with listening to certain artist or bands, how things would've changed to now.
I had tears rolling down my face by the time Kevin mentioned the painting of "Hope" cause it's so eerily perfect and tragic. And with my life, hope has often been the only thing to cling to. LOVE. THIS. VIDEO!
My arm hurts looking at him holding that light
That poor guy Clive Wearing. What a terrible affliction to have.
John Thimakis Yeah. Really. 😟
Yes just listening to the story makes me want to cry.
😢
The story of Clive Wearing and the Painting about hope are harrowingly sad.
Nice profile pic
Basically everything except lil pump
Hi domino man

You. Are. Everywhere.
Facts
U have a check?
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
No Dan, mayonnaise is not an instrument...
Dan The Trombone Man You can make music with it, people make music with many things not traditionally considered instruments. Look at the didgeridoo, it is believed that the first didgeridoos were discovered when someone blew into a eucalyptus tree branch that had been hollowed out by termites. Why would you blow into a termite infested branch? It makes a weird sound! So why not use mayonnaise as an instrument, it’s not a traditional instrument but that shouldn’t matter.
Yes. Look it up on UA-cam.
No Patrick
No Patrick. Mayonnaise is not an instrument
Disease was the most basic ground

Creating, I again grew sound.

love your content! keep it up!
womb thing was weird
((btw lieder means songs))
Excellent job Kevin.
Nice video :)
Clive's story is one of the saddest story I've ever heard. Alzheimer's takes people down in a similar fashion but the person with Alzheimer's is largely unaware. Clive is very aware.
"There are two means of refuge from the misery of life: music and cats."
-Albert Schweitzer
Why did the picture of hope make me tear up?
Anyway, amazing video as always!
Tandreada same
Exactly! Even i felt tears in my eyes with that background music of hope running behind what Kevin was saying... Simply amazing experience! 😃😃
Same
I usually don't get touched by paintings in any significant way but that was the first time a painting moved me!
The effect of stores playing music is interesting because here they play music that makes you want to rip your ears off and not stay for more then the few minutes if possible creating the opposite effect it was supposed to.
The painting that you showed at the end that represents hope gave me goosebumps and I got teary-eyed, I have no idea why. I've never felt anything looking at "art".
Bebo18 thats probably because people dont really explain a painting to you when you see it, they just leave it for interpretation. and also because of the emotional background music
Bebo18 I didn't get goosebumps or get teary-eyed but I know exactly what you mean, I feel it more in music than aesthetics because I'm a musician, but I have felt moments like that with visual art :)
Probably had something to do with the music that was in the background
jeromerox9999 probably a mix of the music and him explaining the painting.
Exactly the same feeling, had to run down the comments to find a similar response.
This video is so well made, I'm majoring in music and I've read much about each subject that you mention and somehow you are still able to transfer how beautiful and meaningful music really is. Time after time I return to watching this :)
"is drill an instrument?"
Davie504: "hold my beer"
This needs to happen
stopping 20 seconds in, someone needs to remix that drill in the beginning into an official vsauce 2 theme
gamesketch Andrew Huang could do this.
It would be pretty simple to do, although a bit difficult because it doesn't have a low tone to it like the AC did. I mean, yeah, you could pitch-shift isolated notes down, but still.
Zanthor slow it down, put it under load, record only the whine of switching circuit and sample it, drill something, break it, possibilities are endless
Couldn't you just microsample a single wavelength of a part that comes close to being a sine wave? Because if you have a sine wave you can create square waves with distortion and the possibilities are endless again.
gamesketch it reminds me of one of their outros already, though faintly.
every time i watch vsauce videos i feel like i learnt something from field of science, witnessed an art, listened to a musical composition and most importantly felt something emotionally all at the same time... weird, confusing, exciting, scared.... to say my brain exploded is to say nothing
Bekjan Z Dude I literally teared up. Humanity is very confusing but it's so Beautiful. This is modern day Philosophy
Rafael Cordero ikr, and every video they upload on V, V2, V3 every time I watch a new video, every time I feel like something shifted in my mind, like something realigned in my head, it's kinda spooky
Rafael Cordero yeah vsauce video trually postrait the beauty of humanity
I totally agree. I cannot describe in words how much i appreciate their videos. They are truly inspiring.
Lol yeah
One of the best videos i've watched this year, goosebumps throughout the whole thing. Nice work Vsauce2

And now Kevin is now yelling at a pregnant woman's belly.

Subscribe please.........I'll leave now.......
Heyy. Grace Stop this madness
Heyy. Grace i read that as patrick stump
thnks fr th mmrs
Horseradish isn't an instrument, either.
What a beautiful video with such a beautiful message. I really don't care how long I have to wait for these videos if this is the quality they have reached.
I came here to enrich my sense of music in a neuro-biological way. In the end, I felt emotionally touched.
Kevin you are amazing! Outstanding job! The story of Clive Wearing is sad and inspiring at the same time.
and as always..........thanks for watching
lonieton league of legends game theroy
The Game Roy
and as always thanks for crying.
lonieton league of legends I read this at the same time he said it
Man, I wasn't expecting to cry from this video...
Hey, Jscauce, Jack here.
you know... through all the shit I've been through, this video could never have reached me at a better time... thank you
I came here to get knowledge.
I left with feels.
This had me tearing up by the end. This video is informative ART!
9:44 And your voice is like butter being melted inside my ears.
Oh man this left me in tears, I'm getting soft in my old age. My Grandfather always said "You're never alone with music", if I can hope to be half as wise as he was then I know I'm doing something right.
This video is truly inspiring. Tears literally flowed of my eyes at the final part.
This is next level for Vsauce 2 and Kevin.
Well done ;D
Thanks for your shoutouts all those years ago Kevin, great topic and awesome video as always.
Rarely am I moved by visual art, but because of this video I bought a print of that painting. Just looking at it overwhelms me.
Did anyone else read the title as Masculinity? Saw the power drill and it almost confirmed it for me until the womb bit.
Levy Wilson I think he actually did put it "masculinity" by accident
Rafael Cordero Doesn't look like it. I just looked at Vsauce2 on Twitter, posted an hour ago it's there written as Musicality.
Levy Wilson Maculinity is a nice topic by the way.
***** Oh. Sorry. Must be my mind playing with the words
Cat Impaler Yeah. I was figuring what direction he could take it. Saw the like bar and thought "well looks like it's not going the SJW, men are all evil route, so let's watch." Pleasantly surprised by another topic instead.
wow as a musician myself this video is extremely powerful. It's stuff like this that push young musicians like myself into the future.
Tree didn't know trees could be musicians
Keep doing what you do in making these great videos. This one brought out a lot of unexpected emotions.
This is probably your most heartfelt video... and thank you making it.
Music = My life.
Why do we feel emotions when we hear music?
Aldo In the beginning of the video. He states that we process sounds as music in the first stages of our life. My guess is music is the Language that is tied to the psyche of life. So when we hear it, it literally speaks to us directly; not even figuratively
Hmm, that music tells a story with emotions... But... how does it do it? Why don't we feel such emotions when we hear a cordless drill? which is also sound.
Aldo Great Nuanced question Brother, I really don't know. It's so baffling
It's often our association with the tones or music. Songs that bring us to nostalgia.
I can hear certain types of music that move me and others that don't at all. I think it's truly has to do with the Nostalgia of our past and how we connect it. Especially if we hear a song that we may have heard while we were growing up perhaps our parents played it on the radio. But I have studied this for a while in my own life and found that in certain states of mind a person can listen to a song and build a strong connection to it only hearing it once. It often has to do with Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, as well as oxytocin such as in mothers and children. Fathers of course. Our minds build emotional connections to the sounds we hear because that is how we connect to the world around us not to mention protecting ourselves from danger.
amazing video Kevin
I love your quirkiness and awkwardness! You convey knowledge without taking yourself too seriously. I feel that is what makes your videos so enjoyable.
Awesome video, awesome outro! Kevin you're getting better and better every video. Keep up the good work!
-Pete
and as always.................. Thanks for making these videos.
i've been a musician for over 20 years and somehow i didn't know some of this. A+ video.
Every time I hear Kevin talk about hope at the end I end up crying because of how moving it is.
This holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing content with profound depth and meaning.
Goddamn kevin, watching your videos is like traveling through dimensions, the atmosphere they create is simply phenomenal.
I read the title as "The human bridge of masculinity". Now I'm disapointed
did you just assume all of humanity's gender?
i thought that too lol
Get out fashie.
That's pathetic.
Wyatt J. Pinkelman same man, thanks.
Your statement about hope at the end was beautiful.
I doubt you'll see this but I thought this was absolutely brilliant, one of the greatest thing I've ever seen on yt well done man
I love listening to uterine blood and fluid flowing around me on Spotify. Artists don't make music like that anymore.
The story of Clive Wearing left me in tears. What a heartbreaking story. It's amazing that playing music can do that for him though. I wonder if he realizes what the music does for him. My god, eating a chocolate bar and thinking it's shrinking because you can't remember the last bite you took, I might have to go an institution.
That ending with the painting of hope nailed it all. Thank you. You really do know how to create an ending.
As a musician, I must say this video depicts an incredibly accurate definition of what music truly is: hope, a companion. Wonderful video, glad to see music is still considered a fundamental part of life.
For as long as I have music
As long as there's a song for me to sing
I can find my way, I can see a brighter day
The music in my life will set my spirit free

Dude... I just wept at that closing statement and image. Thank you!
Ive been waiting so long for a vsauce video on music!
"Sticks and stones are hard on bones.

But Silence breaks the heart."

Best of the VSauces by far! You’re so entertaining. If only my school teachers could teach like this.
And as ALWAYS...another truly excellant video !! Music and smells bring back memory more than anything else !!
yo Clive's story and the ending straight up almost made me cry wtf vsauce why you gotta do that to me fam
I am wondering where Clive Wearing knows his wife from when he can't remember anything? Or maybe I'm just confused...
I think the memory of relationships is stored differently to the memory of events. Idk
That sounds quite logical, thanks:)
i am married five years now and me and my wife has become one being in many ways.. maybe he lost him-self but retained ( their )combined self through association of the sight of his wife, his love, his other half, and, himself. the same way his memory of music is triggered by muscle memory. the man retained only what he felt to be most important to him in his life.
that's a good question to ask. also he remembers how to read sheet music and where the notes are on the keyboard which is difficult on it's own, even for a healthy person.
Stepan Balalaikin Muscle Memory
Vsauce2, consistently giving existential crises and an inexplicable pain in my throat.
Clive's story has always fascinated me. Glad to see you talk about it in your video!
I don't know what happened, but that video just outshone everything I've seen recently! What perfect thoughts to convey.
This video was beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 🎼🎧
Amazing video Kevin, I'm of the toughest of nails when it comes to connecting to a video, and you did it just perfectly right around the end.
None of your key change examples changed the key - just the octave. Great video though! I love your channel.
This made me cry i dont know way
2003mi I am in the same position you are in right now
Rafael Cordero :)
7 am getting ready for work, threw on a vsauce video, who knew id be cryin by the end haha
Dangit, Kevin! I didn't ask for these feels!
Kevin. You blew my mind with this one.
Such a sad story. I weeped like a child how lost his mom in a crowd.
As I watched this video I held my phone up at a bright light and the lamp Kevin was holding seemed like it was blinding me. Although I was quite smacked, it felt amazing.
"Music is measured in Biebs"
Fred Jackson thank you for mentioning that. this video clearly forgot to mention that.
Fred Jackson what you mean by measured? Seriously
It 's a fair question. Basically, when one listens to music of a low quality, Bieb receptors in the brain release hormones throughout the body as a response to encourage the listener to move away from the source. It's like a sense of smell. When something's bad, you move away.
Fred Jackson Hey Jsauce, I'm Jack.
If a song has more Biebs than can be harmlessly processed, it can result in the urge to drink bleach, the urge to listen to heavy metal, or even the urge to listen to heavy metal while drinking bleach.
V2 is my new favorite vsuace
your narrating is astonishingly beautiful.
Wow! Very powerful episode. I'm not ashamed to admit that tears were welling up in my eyes at the end.
This is incredibly interesting, thank you very much Kevin, I felt a nice buzz for a couples of minutes.
11:58 That should be called "the Patrick Star syndrome."
“As long as you have music, and the ability to embrace meaning from the sounds around you, you cannot be alone. That is… hope… “
I always cry to this…
Wow loved this video. Genuinely one the best and most insightful videos I have seen in a long time
ok im downloading this video and im going to try to turn this drill sound into music, you just watch me
BxPanda7 where is it
Are you done yet?
We are waiting for your masterpiece, Mozart
"MAMA" Why did I laugh so hard at that? lol
I cried at the end. Great video.
I was emotionally moved by this video. My heart is so heavy for those that are deaf, particularly over the fact that some may never get to hear the beauty that is music. In music, we are engaging the hemisphere of logic and the hemisphere for compassion... all at the same time. It is now ever more clear that we need music. All of us.
