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.

The Eagles Greatest Hits album is still my favorite ~ 50 years later ..
I've never gotten sick of a song no matter how many times I replay it.

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

@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

Why would you do that? Doesn't that ruin the song for you?

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.

@uncalled4 you probably have to lean a lot on the technicals to not let it change your mind too much
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@Dan193 Well, yes. That mastering session was in 1994, when I barely knew anything about it. Now I know more about it, including when I have to stop working, 10 hours is the maximum. I also know how not to get burned out on favorite songs, lest my OCD take over.

@uncalled4 how do u stop? I feel like when I'm invested in a creatove project, I can't go to sleep until I fully finish it

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.

@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.

@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
NinaTina · 31-35, F
@Dan193 won't play for me
