Oh my. How dare I speak the unspeakable. Or in this case...type the untypable. Is it possible for people like us, you know...music lovers....to get tired of music? Does the word "tired" even come to our mind when we think of our beloved music. Aside from perhaps a few bands, artists, or styles that we might grow tired of, but what about music in general?

Ok, let me clarify...

I have loved music since I first heard it, what age that was...I dunno. I can never think of a time when I didn't love it and my love for it has grown over the years to a level of superb appreciation and adoration. I'd probably trade my eyes before my ears if I had to make that choice. But ya know...sometimes I get tired of it. Yes I said it...tired of music!

This never lasts a long time, sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days, perhaps a bit longer, but not much. This is just a stagnant time when nothing really grabs me. Nothing really appeals to me and I am just in a rather blah kinda mood. Sometimes I would rather drive in the car with NO music, rather than listen to whatever CD is in and I am too disinterested to try another CD. Maybe this is just a phrase that most people go through.

I suppose that I attribute much of this to just the staleness that happens during dry spells, like when it's been awhile since we heard something fresh, invigorating, and passionate. My musical well has run dry and I yearn for a thrist of something pure, clean, and that will soak my heart again with a quenching feeling. I go through these musical droughts maybe a few times a year, but I always recover. Typically I either discovery or re-discover some band, artists, whatever and go on a large binge for awhile to get back on my feet.

So I dare ask.....do you ever get tired of music???
