What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?


I listen to music every day for several hours. It’s a daily routine.   But some days I just can’t seem to get into the music.  It takes a while for me to find the exact music that I want to listen to.  Other days I’m fine with it from the beginning.  If any of you have the same problem what do you do to get out of it?

I have always "preferred" reading paper books to music though listening  to Quadrophenia with a Migraine comes pretty damned close.

When music dosen’t speak to me , I do not insist. I know , it will come back.
Reading , watching tv .  

This hobby should  be one among others . 

Equilibrium comes from diversity ( an ecological principal  ) 

I use random play of my library a lot.   It’s like  my own personalized radio station.  Sometimes it helps to not have to think about what to play especially when you chose all the content to start with. 

I just shut it off...same with book or video...I just let it go for a few hours or even a day or two...

Hi Richard , I hope all is well. For me sometimes I just get tired of music. When this happens I leave the house and do outdoor activities. I know we old farts spend more time at home than we used to. When I’m not feeling up to activities like cycling or fishing because my body is weak, I have a mens social club I attend and usually have a good cigar. But usually sooner than later the stereo is on again. Regards , Mike B.
