This song, Mango Sandcastle creates an energetic and a happy vibe. If you remember last time, it was explained how Major Chords create a happy feeling and Minor Chords create a sad or a gloomy feeling. Chord Progressions are very easy to make with the proper music sense. A chord progression like C Maj - G Maj - D Maj and A Maj can make a pretty happy chord progression but if the A Maj is replaced with E Minor it becomes more intense. Not that the one with E Minor doesn't sound good it makes a beautiful chord progression as well. This type of chord progression is very common in Pop Songs.
