Lost passion for music
Recently I've been going through periods of time where I'm sick of listening to music, so sick I feel it in my stomach. Don't get me wrong, I love music, its gotten me through a lot and a lot of times has been my only friend (if that makes sense). I listen to music a lot, from the beginning of my day to the end of it. The past few weeks I have listened to music very minimally, just on my bus rides to school. Maybe I'm just tired of listening to the same music because it triggers feelings of the past, I don't know; it doesn't feel that way. I try to find new stuff to listen to but I hardly find anything I connect to. I can listen to a song and think, "hey that sounds decent" but ends up being an afterthought, I can't remember the last artist that blew me away or moved me or felt any connection to. I'm sure I'll get back to loving music again eventually but it feels like I won't anytime soon.
Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

[quote=kienn]Yeah, the bass most certainly matches the song, as for the harmony, not really lol - dang, I wish I learned how to play the piano; not too late right? [/quote]
I started to play half way through high school using only what I knew from elementary school and a piano for dummies book. I'm not very good but I had some good times on my used keyboard. Never too late i say
You guys don't get it, I'm onlinemusic, I HAVE to be passionate about this stuff...I have given music a break for almost two months now with the exception of my bus rides, hopefully it'll come back around
[quote=Avatar]omg I love that one too. I started learning that on the piano and I can play up to 0:25 haha. I stopped cause I suck at the piano and I would lose my patience quickly.
It sounds a lot like agate village from pkmn colosseum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5s9FEa7mCo doesn't it? Someone said it was a remix or something but i'm not sure[/quote]

I was like that for a good two years and then i met this person who was really into music and they showed me a lot of new stuff and I guess the association of them along with the music and their passion for music got me into it again
but idk, you don't have to force yourself to be passionate about something just because you've always enjoyed it. If you need a break, take a break and maybe you'll rediscover why you loved music in the first place
Exploring a new genre of music usually helps me when I feel that way. If that doesn't work, then just put it off for a while.
[quote=Avatar]I think that's completely normal. Just like how the first time you buy deodorant it is really fragrant, but then you don't even recognize it as much compared to before. Or like eating chocolate too long then feeling sick of it.
I mostly listen to video game soundtracks and I really enjoy the nostalgia of when I played the video game for the first time. Right now its like -30 Celsius, there was a blizzard yesterday and I'm listening to a sound track from pokemon diamond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF8iHFM5mBI The saxophone just melts my heart and I enjoy remembering when I first went to that town on a breezy summer evening while wearing my undershirt in my room.[/quote]

yup, maybe take a break.
Just take a break, don't listen to music so much for a little bit, then I'm sure you'll love it again. Listening to music from sunrise to sunset everyday'd make anybody sick of music for a little while.
