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?
Rene by Residente. It’s so real, but also very depressing. In the song, he says that his happiness is still broken. Then in the chorus, he says he wants to call 755-0822 (his childhood phone number) to see who answers. It’s like he’s so desperate, that he’s acting on habitual childhood behaviors hoping they work like they used to because he’s running out of ideas.
I avoid it because to me, it’s like the place where Tom Hank’s character in Cast Away almost committed suicide. We know not to go there because the emotional weight is too heavy. Even writing this comment put was rough.
It’s in Spanish btw.
