I mean do you listen to the same few song/songs over and over again, when you feel a certain song just captures something inside of you?
I do, and this song is in another language(still very comprehend-able to get the basic idea).
It's not the message of the music, but just the tone, the note and chords. I have listened to it 30 times in a row one day on repeat. I started listening to it maybe 3-4 months ago, and maybe total heard it around 300-500 times.
I am STILL NOT tired of this song, and I can't explain why. There is something about it. Its not quite melancholy, and its not the opposite either. However I do feel a little bit depressed when I listen to it, it just connects with me.
...And it is a hip-hop song, so the riff repeats itself. Its just an electric piano and drums, but its so dissonant.
Most music to me is either ehhh or thats cool. But this just strikes a nerve, and paints a picture, it represents something that I am missing, or something I dream about. Again just referring to the music, not the lyrics, which are in another language.
I'm not trying to promote this song, I just want to see if anyone here can hear what I hear. Does this song have the same or a similar connection to you? Can you hear why someone could get addicted to it? What are some examples of your obsessive songs????
I don't really care about the video, don't get caught up in it.
