It probably helps with concentration, maybe listening to the same song could be considered a type of stimming. Do people find it absorbs their nervous energy?
I find that I just listen to one or two songs over and over again for a period of time (a month or two) and then move on to another new favorite song...mostly just in the car. It feels better to drive while I'm listening. But when I'm feeling anxious or sad, I will listen to it even more...I'll go for nightime drives, for instance, when my husband is home so I can just drive and listen to the song. Or I'll play it on YouTube over and over again.
For a long time, I listened to "River of Deceit", by Mad Season and "Down in a Hole", by Alice in Chains over and over again.
