Have you ever just had one of those moments where you're scrolling through your music and all you seem to say is no, slowly growing more and more agitated?
Then, you decide to try and find something new to spice things up and BOOM! You find it, the song or artist, the diamond in the rough, and your life is renewed. Through this process, we go through the stages, I like to call, of Music Rejuvenation.
Stage 1: The Quest Begins
This is what we've kind of talked about already. You've decided enough is enough and you are bound and determined to find something new to listen to, no matter how long it takes. So, you may ask for suggestions from friends or family or look to see what's trending.
Stage 2: Garbage. This is all Garbage!
Disappointing song after disappointing song later, and you're beginning to get frustrated. You're ready to rip your hair off or resign yourself to your fate of listening to what you have if you don't find something to pique your interest soon.
You decide to try one more time before calling it quits and this is when it happens...
Stage 3: HALLELUJAH!
Finally, you find it! That song that lifts you up and really gets the blood pumping in your veins. Your hole of boredom has been filled and you seem to be walking on air. Nothing can bring you down.
Stage 4: Download It
Now you know you need it in your life and where it is easily accessible. So, you whip out your phone, mp3, iPod or other musical device and download it to your musical library where it will be cradled and loved.
Stage 5: REPEAT! REPEAT! REPEAT!
Time to turn up the speakers as loud as they can go and possibly lose some hearing, and you get your JAM on!
One time isn't enough, so the replay button is pressed and the chords fly through the air once more. Again and again and again and again...and again until you once again reach our last stage.
Stage 6: I Have Nothing To Listen To.
And now, since that golden nugget is nothing more than fools gold to you, you must begin to find something new to listen to...here we go again.
