Top a major triad with a major seventh instead of a minor one and the chord stays inside its own key rather than pulling anywhere. The result is warm and reflective, a little more sophisticated than a plain triad, and it shows up constantly in soul, bossa nova and any film cue that wants a major chord to sound thoughtful rather than triumphant.
