Propelled vs. dragged

Just as attitude and body language can speak volumes without a word, we pick up on a collection of subtle cues that lend a very distinct sense of whether the music is being propelled or dragged along. In either instance the tempo is the same, and the recording will finish at the same time, but the vital life and energy is just MIA on the one. Perhaps a descriptive analogy might be the difference in actual and perceived energy between a tug and a barge. Both are traveling at the same speed, but the tug is doing so with palpable force.
