How long/how many times do u need to listen to a song to get tired of it?

Whenever I find a song I like, I just loop it all day, or find those 1 hour versions on youtube.

I've never gotten sick of a song no matter how many times I replay it.

@Dan193 That's mostly in the last couple years tbh. I kinda do that with most shows I like

@Dan193 I have my degree at Cyber Law .

I would prefer not to share any comments in a public forum about that trial.

Takes me at least 72 hours of listening to a song I like for me to stop listening to it

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@NiteRaven93 That's a fair amount. I can relate

I burned out Son of a preacher man and some others, but try not to do that. Burned myself out on Harry Nilsson, was hooked for a couple years in the early 2010's

@alongalone so in your case it takes years, I see

It takes me a while. I consciously don't overdo it. If I'm in the studio, I can begin to dislike the song I'm working on.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@uncalled4 uh I never imaged people in your profession to struggle with that

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

@Dan193 I can only speak for myself. After a while, I can't focus. The first mastering session for our first album was fifteen hours. I ended up sitting in the corner like an infant. Brain checked out.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@uncalled4 you probably have to lean a lot on the technicals to not let it change your mind too much

It must be something really special for me to play it again after it finishes. 3 times in a row is typically enough with anything. Then I need a break and will listen to it later again. I typically play a song twice a day if I really like it but it also depends on the length and composition. For example, Nightstalker by Kenji Kawai is something that can be easily looped and I wouldn't even notice at first.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@CrazyMusicLover yeah I get it the part where the song loops and u realize it's been like 4-5 plays already. I normally don't listen to music. I like the quiet, but sometimes I hear a song somewhere and I like it enough to Shazam it, download it and loop it all day until I get tired of it.

I did that with Coldplay, Something just like this, song. I played it on loop for about a week. I found an hour long version of it on YouTube on loop and got fed up with it straight away. I didn’t listen to it for weeks after that but I still say it’s one of my fave songs of all time.

@helenoftroy2000 how do u entertain yourself if u get tired of stuff so quick?

NinaTina · 31-35, F

Depends on the reason I liked it,and the mood I was in at the time

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@NinaTina if you're in a good mood and it's a good mood song

@NinaTina this song is kinda like "la bamba", the lyrics are sad, but the tune is so catchy that it makes it sound like a fun song
