I can't stop listening to the same song!

Post Reply New Topic

I can't stop listening to the same song or same two songs for about a week, then somehow I move on to other artists. This week I'm into Electric Light Orchestra

Yes, except with not such dark music like H.I.M...
I can listen to one song for days (with breaks, of course...)
Like, I can listen to just one song on my iPod for a few days without listening to any of the other songs.

I do it too, its usually to songs that remind me of something. Right now its to 3 songs that remind me of the good times I had at a club on a cruise.

In my case, if it's not to get stuck in one specific song, I don't even bother listening to it.

i sometimes listen to the same song for an hour. more often, i will listen to a playlist of 10-20 songs for a very long time, at least 6-8 hours.

I can't stop listening to the same group, but that doesn't bother me. It's a part of my identity.

I usually listen to all my favorite songs first, then other ones. Quite often I'll start a song over several times before I finish it.

About a year ago I listened to the intro of this song probably 100 times straight, it's just so epic, and gets more epic the higher the volume is

Also, several days ago I listened to this intro to YYZ by Rush like 10 times in a row, it's awesome too. And Neil Peart is a crazy drummer.

Yes, always.
But not songs, as such - it's usually a Bach or Buxtehude organ/harpsichord piece that really grabs my attention.

I'll listen to it about 10 times one after the other and repeat this process with a few hours' gap between over several days, as necessary, until I know I have it note-perfect inside my head.
Then I can play it back internally and study it any time I like!

This is how I always listen to music. However I do not often do it with full songs, just parts from the songs (e.g. a guitar solo), I can listen to parts of songs for days straight and keep myself up at night doing it. They could just be 20 second parts that I would be listening for hours upon hours. Normally I have these parts for all the songs in my library, and whenever I listen a song I do not listen the full song, just the small parts, I could really care less for the songs as wholes.

Like others, I also get stuck on pretty much everything. Once I find something I enjoy and have the time and energy to do I get totally obsessed with it. I get stuck on music, movies, games, books, and pretty much any type of hobbies or activities.

I often watch the same documentaries and movies over and over again, listen to the same music over and over, etc.

After watching a movie for around the 25th time I watch the commentary about 50 times so I can know all about the making of the movie. I prefer movies' commentaries over the actual movies.

I had complaints from neighbours once because I was playing the same song over and over so now I wear headphones!

Yes, I 've listened to a same song over and over and over again for long periods of time before. In fact, I'm listening to one right now!

at least once a day, twice for slide show, meaning I've listening to Slide Show 8030+ times.

Urgh trying to find someone else that did this.
I have been listening take you to Rio by Ester Dean for the last 3 hours.
I'll listen to what I wanna not as if anyone else can hear it :L x

Yes, I've been doing it all my life.
My "worst" case was when I had one track (39 sec) playing for more than 9 hours, so it means I listened to it more than 800 times in a row

I definitely do this a lot with songs and with books. If it's a book or song I really like, I can read or listen to it over and over for days, then later on forget about it for a while until I come across it again. Afterwards, I still find it very enjoyable, but not as addictive as when I was first listening/reading repeatedly.
