Hiya,
A couple of years ago I loved classic metal. At college I had the black nail varnish and denim jacket with patches all over. I went to several concerts -- I discharged myself from hospital to see one!
I didn't grow up with it, I grew up with folk and blues (which I apparently loved when I was really little and doubt I'll stop loving now) and love heavy blues. I even made up my own blues songs (never recorded them though) and when I hear a harmonica or blues riff -- even the piano riff on the iPhone -- my ears prick up.
I put some classic metal on, only to have to switch it off because I had a dreadful headache, as if someone had tried to cave my skull in. It was awful !! My poor, poor head!
I also tend to get really moody with it and snap at people (I've had and got behavioural problems) but when I've got what I grew up with on, that doesn't happen as much. I don't have a care in the world when it's on, even though a lot of people call it dreary and say I’d be happier if I didn't listen to it (!)
I've a feeling my enthusiasm for what I listened to at college had been going for a while and have now boxed most of it up -– something I never even *thought* of doing with the stuff I grew up with because I loved it so much. I've played it and had it played so often I should be sick of it by now but I actually like it more!!
To me, if you don't want to keep a CD about and play it regularly there' it should go, but I come from a family of hoarders who say I might want to listen to it again one day.
IIN to just go off music like that, and not only go off it but simply not be able to bear hearing it and not be sure if you ever want to hear it again ?? I’ve tried my hardest to like what I listened to at college like I did before but it's just not happening.
I’ve always said you don't pick what you like; it picks you!
What do you suggest I do ??
