Listening to the same song(s) repeatedly (until you don’t)

While I love lots of music and have created way too many playlists, I always get fixated on the same five songs during a period of time, before inevitably finding new ones to be attached to (and “retiring” the previous ones into the void of my Spotify liked list). I used to think it was a strange way to listen to music, especially since I can be so obsessed with a select # of songs and then just forget they exist, or only revisit years later. But when I do go back, or hear the songs play out in the wild, it’s so cathartic and bittersweet. I can remember the exact chapter of my life, how I was feeling at the time/what I was going through, and it reminds me how much time has passed and all the experiences I’ve had/the various people I’ve met (temporary or not). I can remember and feel the feelings, and then just allow it to fade back into the background. I doubt I’m the only one listening to music this way, but if that’s not you, it’s a sentimental outlook to lean into!

listening to music by decade

one of my favorite ways of listening to music. it's like having a time machine. i like being transported back to different time periods in my life, rediscovering old songs, and even discovering new ones. it's also really cool to revisit the trends in music from that specific decade, and see how much music has evolved since then.

Revisiting artists & bands

Music hits so much harder when you haven’t listened to it in a few years. I feel like I understand the lyrics and appreciate the sounds more than I used to.

Cat massages

if you have a cat lay on your belly in bed and they just might come lay on your back and massage you with their sharp little claws. it doesn’t feel good but it does feel special. The only catch is, it’s illegal to try to get up
