Okay, so there’s this very specific mode and/or scale I can’t seem to quite nail down and I don’t know how to properly articulate the mood and the way it makes me feel but it makes me feel a certain way. All I know is there’s a melodic structure or sequence that I hear and it’s super specific in a way that I don’t quite know how to articulate. I’ve been a musician a long time and I learned my theory but I’m a little rusty on modes and stuff. I hear it a lot scattered in the motifs of several pieces of music that I’ve heard over my life and across different genres. Here’s three examples of what I’m talking about

The first two are tracks from the recently released Dr. Stone Original Soundtrack 6 called The Source of All Mysteries and The Beacon of Hope, respectively. The third is a song called Lost by the band Red from like 2006

Even at the 22 second mark of The Beacon of Hope, it’s like they’re playing the exact same chord on the piano as the one in the intro of Lost and it even sounds like the exact same key. Can someone a bit smarter than I break this down for me and help me understand what’s going on here?

I can’t figure out this mode/scale
