How Do You Listen To Music?
Initially, I have to tell you the way I listen to music, to frame this thread. It's a bit odd.
First, when I hear a song that I like, I will listen to it repeatedly. I mean repeatedly. Repeatedly.
Because of the internet, specifically YouTube, I am able to listen and listen and listen to one specific song again & again if I choose to.
Currently, as I type, I have Peter Gabriel Red Rain in my headphones. I have been listening to this tune on & off ALL DAY long. It seems as if I love it and appreciate it more & more each time I play it.
Then, after perhaps a hundred listens or so - I'm done. I don't need or want to listen to the song again.
I still LOVE the song and will listen to it in the future but I am not possessed to listen to it.
Strangely, the GIF that I have included within this thread, found it by accident seemingly by chance, oddly fits into the vibe I am feeling off this song. That's neither here or there.
Secondly, when I hear a song that I like during the day - my mind stops. Just stops. Stops.
The song consumes me. The tune encompasses me.
If I am talking or listening to someone my world stops.
I can't drag myself to the other impressions that surround me.
I'm sure this has something to do with the two sides of our brains but I have never hear of anyone reveal what I have attempted to explain within this thread.
I'm sure my relationship to music that I like could be signs of a malady or psychosis, I just don't know.
tl;dr
1 - I listen repeatedly to a song that I love
2 - A song can TOTALLY consume me
