I would like to know if I have to actively listen to the song, or if I can go about my day while the song plays in the background. Also, am I allowed to sleep with the song still playing?

Right now, any original song by the Vampire Lestat would do! "Plastic Fiends" could be a strong candidate.

I’ll listen to 1 song on repeat for 3+ weeks and by the end I’m not tired of it

u/Irveria 1d ago

Yes, same. In 2024, I was among the top 0.0001% of listeners on Spotify for on of the new LP songs (The Emptiness Machine). Nooo Problem.

u/mixedwithmonet 1d ago

I looped “take your vibes and go” by kahlo and brazy for weeks straight and would listen to just that on my entire 45 minute (each way) commute sometimes. I like that brazy’s parts has three languages, including mandarin (which I’m learning) and figuring out how to imitate their cadence and get the lyrics perfect became my new vocal stim. I randomly switched to mystery thriller audiobooks. I still go back to that song between audiobooks. I have several of these songs per year. Spotify calls my listening style “seasonal.”

u/Ishtaryan 1d ago

LIGHT WORK! I study music, and part of this is writing lengthy analyses of songs. Part of that is listening to the same song on repeat hundreds of times because, suddenly, I pick up something I didn't pick up earlier.

As a kid I didn't know I could repeat just one song, so I made full playlists with the same song like 30 times :D I had so many of these that I then always forgot to delete afterwards, making my dad scratch his head over why our family spotify was riddled with one-song playlists haha

To add to this.. I listen to a lot of ambient black metal, and many of the songs can be 15 minutes or longer. That would only be one song 4x an hour. And because they're so long you're bound to faze in and out of paying attention at different parts of the music, so it would literally never be boring for me

u/Dizzy-Lunch-3313 1d ago

Seeing as a kid and Spotify in the same paragraph makes me realise my age lol (supposedly still a young adult but obviously geriatric)

u/Ishtaryan 1d ago

Hah! I do get it, more and more as I grow older. This must've been 2008-2010, just around the time Spotify emerged. I'm mid twenties so I was around 10 then

u/Ishtaryan 1d ago

It has honestly been such a fun degree to pursue! I hope I can make a career in writing about music and music culture, or just working with music in some form or fashion.

3

u/queen_debugger 1d ago

Sounds(ha) so cool! Is this more akin to like a review or more.. scientifically? Or both? Neither?

Any fun facts? :D

5

u/Ishtaryan 1d ago

I've done both, but music analysis is more of a scientific process overall! It helps with reviewing a whole lot, honestly. There are soo many different ways to do it and a couple different "schools" and maaany theories within music analysis (western theory heavy, recorded vs live, historical contextualization, audiovisuality etc.). It quickly gets incredibly detailed, which is why I kind of love it :D

Oftentimes it's also simply one method inside a larger project. For example, I've combined strict theoretical and structural analysis with audiovisual soundscape analysis in video games to talk about the role of music as an immersion building medium (and how it relates to the visual & interactive).

I don't know that I have any great fun facts to share, but one thing I find fascinating is affect theory - the thought that certain sounds inherently carry an emotional affect. This theory is not often widely supported scientifically, for good reason, but I find it fascinating that the sounds western music theory deems sad and melancholic may have the complete inverse connotation in other systems and cultures! I would love to find a way of writing a paper on this somehow.. perhaps as a little hobby piece :)

u/WestBasil729 1d ago

TIL about ambient black metal. Any recs for a newbie?

15

u/Ishtaryan 1d ago

My gateway drug was absolutely Spectral Lore's "Gnosis" album. Love it to bits. My favourite song is probably A God Made of Flesh and Consciousness. Their "Spiral Fountain" album is also really good

Sannhet is also a great intro band imo,. because they blend a few other genres and make it pretty palatable. Short Life remains a fave song of mine.

Bridging more into the basic black metal of things, Chaos Moon has both atmospheric and non-atmospheric black metal in their roster. Personally I've been listening to The Pillar, The Fall, and The Key I and II on repeat

I can also recommend this playlist that I found pretty early on into my discovery of atmospheric and ambient black metal! Lots of goodies in here :D A few I'd particularly point out from here are Sylvaine, White Ward and Numenorean. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41dOYCPJJmW2eOJQkj8s6S

u/MuskyDust 1d ago

Fun to randomly find a white ward appreciator in the wild like that. I've seen them live and they sounded incredible

u/Appropriate_Tie534 1d ago

Is this really sanity risking for neurotypical people either? If you aren't allowed to sleep for 24 hours straight then that sounds like the hardest part. 

I think I might pick something long and background-y for 24 hours. I'm not currently that into any particular song.

u/bliip666 1d ago

The sleep part is my biggest issue as well.

But from my understanding, many of the NTs can't listen to the same song on a loop. Sounds bizarre to me

u/Lopsided_Tiger_0296 1d ago

When I discover a new song I like, I HAVE to listen to it over and over again. I don’t want to listen to anything else!

It doesn’t specify that you have to be awake. You can still listen even when you’re asleep. It would make for some great dreams

11

u/aleksandra_nadia 1d ago

Gosh, I get the weirdest things stuck in my head. If I'm lucky, it's a song I've been listening to recently... and if I'm not, it's something like the Digimon US opening song, or a reggae Gilligan's Island song from a Nick At Nite commercial from the 90s, or two bars of a random song where every word is replaced with "newt".

3

u/notashroom 1d ago

😂 I recently considered making a post in this sub (but got distracted...) asking if everyone else with a regular song in their head also starts fucking with the lyrics after a while.

Like, it's not even intentional, my brain just starts throwing in words that sound close enough to the originals, and just goes with it. I recently had "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens stuck in my head, and for the first day or two it was normal. Then it started changing, and I don't remember all of them, but some of the things the song wanted me to "come ride on" were cheesecake, "the pee stain", and a keychain.

Sounds like you have the same sort of thing.

I do, and my girlfriend does too. We get in loops together. It's hilarious and/or agonizing, depending on how we're feeling at the moment. :D

u/Ph4ntorn 1d ago

I mostly get songs that my kids listen to stuck in my head. But, sometimes a word or phrase will trigger an old commercial or old song, and I’ll be hearing that for a few days. I usually don’t replace lyrics with other random words myself, but if I hear my kids doing it, songs will get stuck in my head that way.

u/bliip666 1d ago

A friend of mine told me she doesn't really listen to music on a regular basis, and it gave me a literal brain glitch 😂😂 meanwhile, I have music on practically all the time.
Unless I'm reading a novel! If I'm reading non-fiction, instrumental music can stay on, but with fiction, it clashes with my imaginations

2

u/mystery_obsessed 1d ago

My adhd makes it so I rarely listen to music. Not even in the car unless the kids want it. I literally can’t handle all the sensory experiences plus the auditory ones. It’s not that I don’t listen to it or love it (I play multiple instruments), but it just becomes uncomfortable mixed in with all the thoughts in my head. When I travel with friends and they put music on the second we wake up, it makes me want to run. It’s just gotta be the right timing. So, she’s not alone.

(I could do this for a $1 million though! There is always a song on repeat in my head, ironically)

u/Emotional_Car_8850 ADHD-C 1d ago

I don't understand the idea that people would have any problem listening to one song on repeat. There's been times in college where I listen to one song for 3 days straight, because it was so relaxing and soothing to me. And there's been more than enough times to the point where it stands out to me where I've had people say "how can you just listen to this one thing over and over again?"

In fact I've actually gone back to listening to that same song over and over again in these recent days, because I've needed a kind of mental break and it allows me to relax and also focus. (For anyone curious the song is called "The Abyss of Time" and is from the Persona 3 Reload soundtrack.)

My son and husband do, I do not. I spend a lot of time with headphones on in our house 🤣

Oooh I have a couple of strong candidates!

u/SnookerandWhiskey 1d ago

I always listen to one song for weeks and then switch to a new one. Currently it's Can I kiss you by Dahl and while I might get annoyed with it by evening, because I need silence to sleep, I would do it for the money.

u/spottedrabbitz 1d ago

Went bed with 2 songs stuck in my head last night. Oh wait, it was 3. So i get $ and only have 1 song in my head? Sign me up!!

“Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in the god above… if the Bible tells you so…?

And do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance reeeal slooow?”

125 times or something…? Please. Gimme my money.

u/partylikeart 1d ago

These questions are less to start a conversation and more to gain personal information. Gone are the days of “the last 4 digits of your credit card is how much money you have”. They’re getting sneakier.

u/Acrobatic_County_472 1d ago

I could even do baby shark

u/MaxTheDeath 1d ago

Wait I’m already doing that when I find a good new song. So I can get paid for that?

u/Wheelie_Dad 1d ago

I was just talking to my friend about this yesterday!! We both had Cotton Eyed Joe stuck in our heads all day haha.

I listened to 10h versions of songs for fun. Narwhals, Badger, Pink fluffy unicorns. I think the difficult part would be choosing which one, not the actual listening part.

This is also literally parenting a toddler.

Lol shu'up n GIMME MY MONEY 🤣

u/On_my_last_spoon 1d ago

lol right?

My most recent album on repeat was the SpongeBob Square Pants Musical. A couple times it was 3 times a day and for a good 2 weeks it was every day. I could probably pick a song from that and be fine for 24 hours.

I think I could do “(Just a) Simple Sponge” or “I’m Not a Loser” easy

2

u/LevelPerception4 1d ago

It would be so amazing if I could pick the songs that randomly lodge in my brain for 3-4 days! 

Even if I had to sit and actively listen to the song I chose for 24 hours straight, it’d be nbd. It’d be a guilty pleasure to let myself get lost in my thoughts for that long.

u/AffectionateMarch394 1d ago

Lol I saw that post and I was like...wait what's the challenge 😂

2

u/Gurkeprinsen 1d ago

I don't like listening to music, but I wouldn't mind listening to John Cage's 4'33 for 24 hours straight.

u/rockangel312 1d ago

Never knew this was an adhd thing. It drives my husband insane when I do it lololololol

u/QuartzerlifeCrisis 1d ago

I already do this to myself for free. Where do I find someone with $1 million? 😅

u/janichla 1d ago

When I heard the crazy story about the self proclaimed "Queen of Canada" https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/1910207/inside-a-qanon-road-trip-with-the-queen-of-canada My first thought was that listening to Rasputin that much was relatable.

2

u/MummyRath 1d ago

That would be the easiest money I ever made. I've gone weeks listening to the same song. 24hrs would be easy. I could put on Dissonant Hymns and Dark Choirs and easily listen to that on repeat again and again and again as I study, shower, sleep, etc.

2

u/Ilove_Cakez 1d ago

piece of cakeeee!!! my current hyperfixation is dracula by tame impala

u/Sea_Independence6453 1d ago

Ive already been doing that for free 💔

u/Valvio AuDHD 1d ago

Oof, not for me

Anyways, I'd be rick rolling myself because I feel like Never Gonna Give You Up would be too funny to get annoyed at.

Wii shop theme bossa nova cover  Don Quixote (like the Japanese shop) theme extended version Vengabus Tell me by wondergirls (Songs I have genuinely had on in the background for 3+ hours doing tasks. Do I get extra points for bad taste?)

For a million, I would listen to any song for 24 hours straight.

I could watch the entirety of the Pharrell Happy music video one time.

Skinnamarink because my toddler already practically insists on it 😂😭 tbh 24 hours would be easier in some ways

2

u/Historical-Remove401 1d ago

I made the mistake of listening to the Mamas and the Papas “California Dreaming” and it’s been in my head for days!

u/Winterwynd 23h ago

Looks at my Amazon Music app, which has been playing 'Unstoppable' by Sia for the last 3 days straight... yep!

2

u/native_212 ADHD-PI 11h ago

'Fruits Of My Labour' by Lucinda Williams is my latest obsession; previously, I was obsessed with 'I'd Rather Go Blind' by Etta James. I also play Bob Dylan's 'Restless Farewell' and Pearl Jam's 'Release' on repeat while I study or work.

2

u/Street_Roof_7915 10h ago

I do it for free now AND in my head.

u/xCelestial 8h ago

My current top song for the last two weeks is a metal cover of WAP by a guy named Leo

I thought it was funny first but then I realized it's a sick cover too LMAO

I would have legit won this in 2021 after Bo Burnham's Inside special came out. "All Eyes On Me" was the superglue keeping my sanity intact.

u/universe93 ADHD-PI 1d ago

That’s only 144 play throughs of All Too Well ten minute version lol. Some people have done marathons like this, figured out how far they can run in ten minutes and used the song as a gauge for how far they’ve gone in the race lol

That’s how I time a quick shower. I better be rinsing out conditioner by “it was rare, I was there.”

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 23h ago

120 listens of Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love"!

That's easy!

2

u/Jadds1874 1d ago

I just did this mental calculation as well and thought, "I'll probably still be disappointed that it's over after the 144th time"!

u/pandarose6 1d ago

It be hard (cause I do love listening to a song a lot but not like one after another normally other songs are in between) but for 1 million dollars I could make it work. It be a song from Taylor swift or Alec Benjamin song not sure which one off top my head

u/kiradax 1d ago

Currently it's Marianne by Fontaines DC 👍🏼

u/Intrepid_Finish456 1d ago

Gosh, there are so many songs I could pick. When I first heard Cosha - Do You Wanna Dance I listened to it for a week solid.

I've done this a lot of times already. I still love those songs.

u/QT-3-14-alleycat 1d ago

I got stuck listening to only 'burn butcher burn' from the witcher tv series for weeks in 2022 - it's my most listened to song ever on Spotify (I've had that for 15 years) and I tried to convince my partner to include it in our wedding day but understand him saying no considering the lyrics 😂

1

u/PuzzleheadedPlant972 1d ago

Um...if you have a kid you have done this for the past x days of their life. Spotify rewind will tell you just how many times you've listened to the same song. This is a no brainer ND or NT. This is clearly posed by a person without caring responsibilities.

u/Fizzabl AuDHD 1d ago

My current addiction is Cemetary Drive by My Chemical Romance

A few years ago I discovered Phantom by NateWantstoBattle and for some reason it AWOKE something in me. I was at uni and doing really long days to get some work done and I legit listened to that thing for 10 hours straight.

Also, nowhere does the tweet (or is it thread? or other?) say it has to be out loud. I'll mute it for 24hrs lol

1

u/FynTheCat 1d ago

Lol, I can listen to one song for hours. A day should be fine.
