Aminor(maj7)

A minor (maj7) is a rather tense chord - probably why it shows up in movie scenes when there’s a lot of suspense around! What we have here is the sound of an A minor chord with a major 7th. The major 7th is known as the leading tone; it has a tendency to resolve upward to the tonic. So its presence within a minor chord is definitely not a restful combination!
