Like I genuinely feel if I’ve heard a song enough times, I can repeat it in my head and still get the same enjoyment as actually listening to it. Maybe everyone can do that idk

But I do know that the only thing I don’t have is speed, otherwise I’d basically have perfect pitch 🥲

For me it's torturous sometimes because I'll hear 5 seconds of a song in a grocery store or something, and the rest of the day I'm listening to a Celene Dion song on repeat.

This happened to me early yesterday and it drove me crazy as my brain wouldn't stop replaying the 5 seconds the whole goddang day until i found out what it was and played it. Twice. Stupidass brain

I have had this last for years. Perfectly hearing the same 5 seconds of a song I can't remember the name of until I randomly hear the phrase like 2 years later

That sounds a bit tiring and a tiny bit scary... but after 2 years i can't imagine the euphoria hit

It's not constant but it's noticeable; at quiet times I'll be thinking of some music and I'll get that repeating music excerpt thing for a while until it goes away when I'm distracted by something else. It's not so much intrusive as "that song again where did I hear that?"

It'll come back soon enough but funnily, it doesn't stick around after I've found out the full thing. One I remember most was the plants vs zombies 1 rooftop theme which I hadn't heard for 2-3 years. And yes it was a cathartic "Quest Complete!" when I found it again
