If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don’t, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?
EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.
I’m a performer, which means that I will listen to the same song probably hundreds of times while I write an act to it. My Spotify wrapped is literally just all the songs I performed that year (no Spotify, no one actually enjoys Imagine Dragons). I’ll sometimes hear the songs in my sleep. Send help pls.
I imagine the rules change, so to speak, as a performer. As with stage acting, that you somehow find a way both to separate and reinvoke the songs? And, I guess, musician dinthe same as OP, right? Fully or partially retire songs eventually
