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?

Yep yep yep, I do this with songs and albums and bands that I love. After the initial period of listening to it non-stop on an endless loop as much as possible for an unknown amount of time (weeks to months) I have to stop altogether for a while.

Every once in a while I need to listen to [album with favorite song on it] and then I have to do that for like a week or two straight and then not touch it for a long time. The breaks get longer the more I've listened and absorbed it because, again, I'm trying not to get sick of it.

Isn't this everyone though?

I always had the impression NTs could play their favourite song more often, while I need to hold off and only listen to my favourite song max 3 times a month… if that. Maybe I’m wrong though, I don’t know how people generally do it.
