Does anyone else have a favourite song they DON'T listen to a lot? (midwest.social)

Posted this question on r/aspergirls some time back and I’d like to hear what users on Lemmy have to say.

Do you have a favourite song you don’t listen to a lot? For me, I can’t listen to mine regularly because I don’t want to “wear it out” and make it lose its emotional effect on me; I want to be blown away every time I hear it. It’s a rock song as well, and because of that I don’t want to listen to it much because it can be overstimulating as the instrumental is heavy (in my opinion). I reserve the song for special moments or moments I know I can listen to it better and truly appreciate what a masterpiece it is.

Anybody else feel the same way?

I have a soft spot for long pieces of music. Think twenty minutes and then some, like Octavarium (Dream Theater, 24 minutes sharp) or The Greatest Show On Earth (Nightwish, 24 minutes sharp). Or even music that must be listened by the whole disc, or maybe even the entire album. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (Dream Theater, more than 40 minutes), All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World (Nightwish, just over half an hour), The Theory Of Everything (Ayreon, easily an hour and a half), stuff like that.

Let's just say that I need to make time to listen to it.

Rush - 2112 - 21 minutes and some change

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick - more than 40 minutes

Keygen Church - Bullug Gegbug Ibgabiug Gixcure Dagabciea Fuic - 18 minutes

And I definitely agree. It's hard to over listen to songs you have to make time for. Lol
