Well, here’s the first problem I’ve encountered with having a music-related blog: I’ve barely been listening to music recently.
I mean, obviously in a sense that’s not true. It’s very difficult to not listen to music at all during the day, but I’ve found myself listening to it much less often, generally. Intentional, focused music listening seems to have disappeared from my routine for the time being, as nothing seems to be able to hold my attention.
This is of course no one’s “fault” but my own, if it’s any one thing’s fault at all. It’s not like there’s a shortage of fantastic music out there to discover, new or old, so it’s not even worth trying to pretend like that’s the problem. Likewise, I doubt it’s the problem of there being too much music to choose from either.
To be honest, I’m not sure what the reason is.
It’s no big deal, though. These things happen from time to time. I’ve always thought of it as something of a cool-down period between phases of intense engagement. Some last longer than others, but they always pass.
Admittedly, it has been a while since an album by an artist has sort of taken over my life for a period of time, but the exciting thing is that you never know what will. In fact, some of my favourite albums of recent years have done just that. When that happens, it’s always special, and suddenly all those seemingly lost habits return to you in no time.
I suppose my point here is that there’s not necessarily any need to fret about any of this. Everything will work out just fine, like it always seems to.
Also, all my worries are for naught, as Carly Rae Jepsen has a new album coming out this year.
All hail The Queen.
