What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?


I listen to music every day for several hours. It’s a daily routine.   But some days I just can’t seem to get into the music.  It takes a while for me to find the exact music that I want to listen to.  Other days I’m fine with it from the beginning.  If any of you have the same problem what do you do to get out of it?

@hilde45 "Take a day off"

 

Do what hilde said, and if this does not work, take a week or a month off. Get away from it for a while, and go do something else, with another hobby, exercise, bike rides, whatever - simply stepping away for a while can help a lot.   

I had to do this during the pandemic, and it was due to overexposure to the system, trying too many different components, was missing the music, all of it fell flat. Had to completely step away for a 90 day stretch once.  

You might be surprised to learn you can enjoy your existing system all over again if you just give yourself a break from it for a while.  It works.
