Why don't we tire of music?
So, there’s a lot of smart folk’s on this site, and I’ve been wondering why people never grow tired of listening to music. For example, we don’t read the same book over and over, nor do we watch the same TV show or movie over and over. But, we never get tired of listening to the same music. Why is this? What is it in our mentally that allows this to happen? Just curious... Thanks!
larsman,I agree with you. Whether or not we are discussing the technical or emotional aspects of music, it is after all this, music. It is a really good question that is well worth the discussion. The one problem that I have with most music is when it gets 'stuck' in my head and won't go away. It is no longer enjoyable after hours of this, but rather a weed. The best that I can do about it is try and change the song to something else to replace it in the loop. Of course, now it won't go away. |
mapman,
Good point. I suffer from some form of greed myself. It is the buying reflex to having something that I don't really need. The internet promotes this by some exponential factor. Used to be that you might actually have to walk to the store and then decide if what oyu couldn't live without could be carried back home. It was that pause of reality or beginning of it that changed your mind after. Maybe there is a bargain in the next isle. |
