Listen to the Same Song on Repeat. Isaiah Fazio
For me, listening to the same song on repeat is either very relaxing to me or it puts me into a lot of thought, but it also depends on the song that I play. Usually, putting songs on repeat depends on my mood as well. A good few examples of songs of when I’m doing okay or happy, I listen to anything really. My taste in music has no preference, except for country. I don’t listen to country music. My preferences are rock, alt rock, hip-hop, electronic, and lofi. And my favorite band that has most of that genre is Gorillaz. Their music is really relaxing for the most part and very well known.
My personal favorite songs from that band are Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., Dare, Dirty Harry, On Melancholy Hill, Rhinestone Eyes, Empire Ants, etc. I enjoy all the albums that they have released for the past two decades. Their songs have a lot of meaning to them and people like to joke about it mostly being about drugs, which is also true, but there is a lot more meaning to a lot of these songs. And some of the songs put me in deep thought or in focus mode. Lofi on the other hand is a genre Gorillaz doesn’t have. But when I’m feeling down or upset, I’ll listen to lofi music to calm my nerves and my depression. And yes, I listen to Gorillaz a lot, but I also listen to other songs on repeat, and some songs I rather keep private because I’m still a bit insecure about sharing all my music, but it’s getting better.
I listen to songs on repeat a lot because some songs are very good and sometimes, I’m just deep in thought preferring not to listen to other songs. A lot of these songs give meaning that I understand and that’s why I think song is an art. And listening to these songs on repeat can be kinda annoying or it grows on you, but most of the time these songs help me through the day whether it’s a good or bad one. So my question to you is what kind of music do you listening to depending on your mood? What is your favorite type of genre to listen to, whether you’re happy or sad? To me I think genre is a huge piece of art that is used in music…which I also consider art.
A lot of music genres can sometimes make me listen to songs on repeat, whether it is a specific genre or even a specific band. Some people listen differently to songs like whether they are boring to you or have any meaning to you. And this is the reason why I listen to Gorillaz a lot. Their genres are unique to me and personally I love their art style. But most of all, I listen to their songs on repeat because to me, the more you listen to their songs, the more you’ll fall in love with their songs whether it is meaning or tone. So you may call me weird for this, but I don’t find it weird. If people call you weird for this, they have no taste or know meaning. Just saying. But feel free to try this yourself if you haven’t! But you don’t have to specifically listen to Gorillaz. But have fun, and vibe to your music.
