How do you do it? I mean, really listen to your stuff.
Do you listen to a new album a few times in a row? Or are you the type that needs to sit down and focus on the music to grasp the meaning of the lyrics with each song?
I find that a majority of my music, I've never really researched and understood the "why" behind the songs and albums. While much of today's music doesn't deserve heavy analysis, I find that some of my music just gets played, and I don't really absorb it. I might sing to a popular verse or two, but that's it. All in all, it's just a song, not a meaning.
It's pretty hard for me to listen to music and just not do anything else, but I love it when I can. How about you guys? How do you absorb your tunes?
