I listen to too many songs from my youth and get carried away for far too long.
I've never seen listening to music as an activity requiring active participation. People usually put it on the background as they do other chores, or to 'get inspired'. That is my understanding. It is probably incorrect. For I have a 'music listening' dedicated time. I go to youtube to put on background music as I write. Three hours later I'm all emotioned up, having listened to dozens of songs. Full of energy and vigor, I decide I don't want to write at the moment. The songs soaked up all my energy.
No, I don't listen 'listen' to songs. It just happens that when I hear songs, I tend to feel them quite strongly. The feeling is enjoyable, sure, but it is not preferable. I'd rather write meanwhile, or read, or listen to something less moving, in the background.
It's a pity my music choices have limited my uhh station in life. I listen to old hindi or Nepali songs, and some very classic english ones. If I could learn to like hip-hop or r&b and so forth, options would expand. Even if it's just Taylor Swift. It is not to be so, unfortunately.
It's okay to listen to songs, not just when I'm meant to be writing. That is all.
