Quantitatively associating feelings with melodies #9

We could have like 10 different emotions that a melody could trigger. We then describe a melody by saying how much of each emotion it makes the listener feel. We can generalize emotions a bit. Maybe somber is a bit of sad with a bit less of nostalgia or something.
