Terminology:

Minor-moded -
Built on a musical language or distances between notes that naturally sounds somber, reflective, or mournful rather than bright or triumphant.

Minor triad - 
Three notes played together that, because of the ratios of distance between them, form the emotional core of a sad or serious sound.

Raised fourth - 
A raised fourth is a note that sits just outside of the typical “expected” harmony, creating a subtle sense of tension and unease.

Two harmonic regions at once - 
This means the music briefly suggests two different emotional or tonal “places” at the same time instead of committing to one.

A Minor and F Minor - 
Examples of collections of 7 different notes that, because of the distances between each note in sequence, result in a more sombre, sad, or melancholy tone.

A♭ (enharmonic relationship) - 
This refers to a pitch that is technically the same sound as another note but spelled differently to allow for written clarity in the music.

Added ninth - 
An extra note layered onto a chord that often is characterized as softening the sound without fully resolving the tension beneath it.
