That song

Got that song on repeat again.

Apparently this behaviour isn't entirely normal?

Do you do this? Get stuck on a song, listen to it on repeat, over and over, for hours, days, keep coming back to it, hear it and think "I love this song, hang on, I will just listen to it again" and later someone comes in and says "I swear that same song was playing earlier" and then they look at you strangely when they realise you have listened to the same song for the last 3 hours?

I really love this song. I loved it the minute I heard it. I don't get tired of it, no matter how many times I hear it. When I put on my music, I look forward to this song coming on, even if its on the playlist with all my favourite music... it's still this song I am waiting for. And I don't really know why. I love the vocalists voices, I love the simplicity of the lyrics, the repetition, I love the melody, I love the beat, I love the way it gains complexity throughout the song, I love the crescendo, the ritenuto at the end.

And I wish I could do this. Come up with a song that someone just can't put down.

Of course, I'd have to turn off this song to do that. Maybe I will just listen to it one more time... Maybe in a few hours...
Good thing I don't compose music actually...

Again again!

One thinks of how many times we listened to 'Stuff and Nonsense" on car trips....
