Your experience brings up an interesting concept: the general idea that certain songs/pieces of music will only sound amazing under certain circumstances.
That is, a piece of music won’t “hit you” if the conditions aren’t right (you can’t hear the words, you’re not doing something that matches the song, you’re just not in the mood).
- JohnBooty 4y agoMusic is how I know that I'm in the doldrums, or depressed -- it stops sounding good to me.
- tsimionescu 4y agoThis is exactly why I never thought stuff like "concert violinist plays his Stradivarius in the subway and barely anyone listens, even though it would cost hundreds to attend a concert" is surprising, or says anything other than "you can only appreciate music if in the right context".
