Music — in the foreground!!

When was the last time when you were listening to music while doing nothing, and just listening to music? I hope you remember it but I bet you don’t.

Everyone loves music in the background while drinking, working-out, writing, and even during as regular activities as just being on the job. Everybody got their earbuds plugged-in. But here is something for you to try next time you are just scrolling to kill time. Make a playlist of your favorite songs that would last for at least half an hour, or if you dig into albums, pick a favorite one. This is so that you don’t have to pick up the phone to change the music. It will break the flow, I am talking about some spellbound shit here.

Now play it. Not on the phone or laptop, but on a good speaker/earbuds that does justice to the piece of sound being played. Just LISTEN to it to the end. You might stumble on a string sound or lyrics which you did not acknowledge earlier because you never LISTENED, or you might not. Whatever the fuck it is, that’s not the point. I don’t wanna ‘insist-upon’ things that one ought to feel, but I hope, you appreciate it and hopefully, would want to do it more.

If possible, don’t even stroll, just sit comfortably. If you cant do that, just try to keep LISTENING as primary.

It’s not ought to be a therapeutic or a healing activity, though it might turn out to be for someone. But it can make you appreciate the music you listen to and might make you ponder upon what else do you wanna listen.

I hope it feels better than usual listening sessions, LOL, as if you had some !!

Happy listening in the foreground!!
