The song is 12:34 by Billy Lemos. Can't stop listening to it. I really dig how the beat in the 2nd half of the song has almost a reggaeton style rhythm. Any recommendation to similar music would be appreciated. Song link here =4bVi9XxTMTk
A throwback to the Mod style of the 1960s and '70s! This groovy tune focuses on developing eighth-note articulation and counting while also providing a fun showcase for young bands looking to entertain their audiences. A full-ensemble clapping moment adds another element of fun and visual interest. Get into the groove!
Groovy Music City from Sibelius Software (part of Avid) sets out to make learning about music fun for children. The third in a three part series of programs aimed at kids aged 7-12, it begins to introduce relatively complex musical concepts such as notation and composition, but does so through a futuristic city-theme, complete with funky characters and animated effects.

The effect of music on the human spirit has been known for centuries. Its power to heal afflictions of mind and body, however, are only now becoming clearer. Journalist Jo Bowman reports that the commercial possibilities of new styles of music therapy raise complex IP issues.
It does not take an expert in either music or the mind to recommend a hot bath and some Pachelbel to help cure a mild case of stress. But a growing body of research being done around the world suggests there is a far stronger link than was previously thought between mental and physical health, and music.
Music therapy that encourages patients to express themselves by joining in and playing musical instruments has had well-documented success with people suffering from dementia, adults and children with learning difficulties, and in palliative care.
But the notion that simply listening to certain kinds of music can also have a significant effect not only on mood but on medically verifiable health is one that is generating increasing interest. There are those who suggest that in the treatment of some kinds of illness, a dose of the right music avoids the need for drug treatment altogether.
The power to heal is also the power to make money, and therapists, musicians and technicians succeeding in this field are not leaving the complex subject of intellectual property (IP) rights to chance.
Listening therapy is also at the heart of the launch in the U.S. this year of an Internet-based service by music research company Sourcetone. Director of marketing Luis Araten-Castilla says the company has been studying the effects of music on the mind for five years, working with scientists at Harvard Medical School.
When deciding whether music is still protected, one has to distinguish between the musical work and the recording. The work, that is, the composed music and the possible lyrics, is normally protected at least 50 years after the year in which the author died, in an increasing number of countries even 70 years after. The term of protection of the recording is normally calculated from the year in which the recording was made or published, and the term can vary between 20 and 95 years. In any case, it is therefore highly recommendable to check out the national law in the country where the music is used.
In sessions where patients change an existing musical work in some way, permission needs to have been granted by the copyright holder of that music. If it is Mozart, you are in the clear as it is no longer copyright protected. If it is Oasis, you need to ask first or risk breaching copyright.
Creating original pieces of music for therapeutic listening gets around the copyright issue, provided the composers commissioned to write the music assign copyright to the therapy company involved or agree to license the use of the music.
When using music outside the confines of the private home, and particularly in commercial contexts, it is normally necessary to obtain the rights of public performance, at least for the musical works. For most musical works this is done through national collective management societies which represent the overwhelming majority of authors of protected music. In the relatively rare cases where such authors are not members of these societies, or have been able to opt out regarding certain works, permissions for the use must be obtained directly from the authors or their representatives. Not all countries grant rights to performers and producers of sound recordings for the playing of their records in public places, but where this is the case, just as in the case of musical works collective management organizations frequently are authorized to manage the rights on behalf of most, if not all, the right holders.
In the case of patients taking part in creating music, it is always possible that a session will originate a musical masterpiece with commercial potential. If that work is guided by a music therapist and involves a room full of patients, who, then, would own what?
If a patient and instructor produce a work of music together then it is protected by a joint copyright if they have both had input, says Prof. Soetendorp. The law does not assign copyright to each contributor according to how much they have put into it. So, even if one does 90 percent of the work, the copyright is split down the middle. If the music was created by 10 people in a group therapy session and they all make a contribution, the copyright is split equally among them. Unless, that is, patients assigned copyright to the therapist or to their company, which then becomes a question of medical ethics rather than IP.
However, no study had formally investigated the influence of groovy beats on brain functioning. So, researchers decided to do the work themselves. More specifically, they set out to examine the impact of dance music on brain activity in neural areas associated with executive function, such as the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (l-DLPFC).
To observe and assess executive brain functions before and after listening to music, the research team used a brain imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), along with a color-word matching test. Participants also completed surveys examining their subjective experiences while listening to the groovy tunes.
Study authors add that when we dance to catchy music, it usually results in both a positive mood and rhythmic synchronization. Both of those factors may partially account for the observed cognitive boost among subjects.
It's hard to pick favorites and even more difficult to build a list of suggestions, but we've done our best. In 2011, the Space.com staff came up with a few favorites and now we have updated that top pick list for the 2020s. Below, we also added a huge table with space music over the decades, based on our research.
A couple of cautions here. Our staff is North American and European and as such, we stuck with English-language songs or instrumental songs so as not to make any cultural mistakes. But we'd love to hear your suggestions for international music in the forum.
The poetry in this music is very soulful and representative of the "boy bands" singing of their loves in the early 2000s: "Now that she's back in the atmosphere / With drops of Jupiter in her hair / She acts like summer and walks like rain / Reminds me that there's a time to change."
Below is a huge starting list of space music that we have organized by era. This is not meant to be the complete list of space-y tunes, as there are likely millions out there, but based on our research we have found quite a few songs to get you started. For simplicity, we have ordered these songs by approximate year of release.
