This was a... surprising experience. I'm always looking for ways to become a more engaged music listener, and one of the best ones I've found is listening games. I do these fairly often in my personal life, picking some restriction and making myself do it for a while to see what happens, but now that it's become a part of my musical practice I wanted to talk about it in a video, and to do that I had to pick something really ambitious, and long story short I wound up listening to a single song, over and over, every day for a month to see how that repeated exposure changed my experience of it. I did a lot of active listening exercises along the way, approaching it from every angle I could think of, and in one of my longest videos ever, I want to talk about what that was like and, more importantly, all the things I learned.
