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?

Hi Richard , I hope all is well. For me sometimes I just get tired of music. When this happens I leave the house and do outdoor activities. I know we old farts spend more time at home than we used to. When I’m not feeling up to activities like cycling or fishing because my body is weak, I have a mens social club I attend and usually have a good cigar. But usually sooner than later the stereo is on again. Regards , Mike B. 

Put it back on the shelf and pull it out again a week, months or even years later and you'll definitely have a different opinion of it.

I know what you're talking about.  I play golf or go for a walk or a bike ride, that usually clears the mind.  Sometimes, if I can't decide the type of music I want to hear, I'll stream from Idagio's various curated mood/genre offerings and see what gets me interested.

I have a bit of that going on myself, I think this happens to me every spring. I just have to stop listening for a few days, or longer, until the need returns, it always does. I also attended AXPONA and just added some new speakers, too much critical listening has added to the problem.
