Sometimes I enjoy music more. I will go through phases where music is my main interest. Other times I'm more interested in other things. I thought maybe this was strange but maybe other people have similar odd situations. Maybe music is always your main interest but perhaps there are certain conditions that make you "feel" it more.

To clarify what I mean is I love music always but sometimes I'll find myself in long stretches where I haven't listened to anything new, and I find myself more interested in other things like video games or audiobooks or China.

I don't knoe if this is in the "topic" but I don't think I enjoy music today the same way I used to do in the past....it's going to be a year since I am on BEA, and this certainly changed my way to listen and enjoy music...... In the past I used to listen without the feeling and the necessity of analysing it, so I used to be more relaxed about it....now that I'm on BEA and my listening time is getting everytime smaller, and with the little time I have, It"s hard to me to have "the feeling" with an album....let's take my first place (in my chart) Daydream Nation....the first time I listened to it I was out of BEA, and listened to it in the transit raining, and in the plane, I feel these places and the music playing was perfect, which gave to me a special feeling of joy, these days If I listened to it I don't think it would be even in my top 40, because thr music I listen today It's very competitive and how I know a lot of bands it loses that "oooooohhhh they sound so amazing.....Nothing compares to them" thinking....I think it has no sense...but there is something missing while I listen to music today, so I would say in the past was when I enjoyed music the most..

EDIT: sorry for the grammar errors, I hate this touchscreen mobile.

Oh man, I've gone consecutive days without listening to music before and it's so satisfying when I'm finally able to listen to something.

I think I'd actually go through withdraw without music for some time, which is concerning.

2003-2007: When I first started to really get into music communities and music beyond a quiet inexperience. While I was inspired by my peers who were ten to twenty years my senior to digest and understand music more this was probably the most carefree of my days with enjoying music. There were no stipulations and I wasn't as jaded despite experiencing a close family member's death in June of 2003. Music was my biggest hobby and it was what I devoted most of my time to; which is why I've heard so much. This is where I took an interest in music history, genre history, and all of that as well and I did that as one-hundred miles per hour.

It's why I think it's my "most enjoyment period" plus well, I was still a teenager my mind was overeager to accept new sounds and new things than where it's currently at.

You guys on BEA stress me out when you all go off in your little cliques discussing albums I have never listened to nor heard off; it really can sometimes make me feel unworthy . So yes, I get stressed sometimes and need to make sure I'm up on my listening. Take it as a back handed compliment.

Anyway, I get most satisfaction out of music when I begin to learn an album well and begin to grasp and understand it. It's just nice to have an extra album with me and another one which represents another stage of my life. For example recently, these have been key:

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man On Earth

I just love the fact I can shout some of Springsteen's killer lyrics with confidence and can identify and hum along to the acoustic subtleties found on The Wild Hunt.

For me there's something special about traveling on the subway, or walking city blocks with the right songs cranked up in the headphones. A really good buzz enhances that even more. I've definitely stumbled home from shows blasting something I love, feeling each beat, chord, word deep within my soul.

Usually in my daily life I have so much stuff in my mind. Music works as a perfect escape for many emotions and feelings, or simply just to go by with life. But it's only when I'm actually in a some sort of vacation or an apparent no responsibility period of my life that I enjoy the music the most.
