In an attempt to make your Valentine's Day more romantic, music-streaming website Spotify joined forces with a group of scientists and found that Adele's 'Make You Feel My Love' had the formula for the perfect love song.
According to the study, conducted by the site along with University of Groningen's Jacob Jolij and Maureen Crowe, who worked on hit flick 'The Boydguard', Adele's cover of the Bob Dylan classic has the right mix of sentimental lyrics, a slow tempo, a song played in a major key with a standard chord progression and a syncopated rhythm, the Daily Express reported.
Jolij said that there are two accents close together in the song, repeating every bar that creates the feel of a relaxed heartbeat, a sound everyone is familiar with, making it soothing and relaxing to hear.
The researchers also claimed that the formula was a tried and tested combination and the feeling of familiarity helps make the song memorable.
