I’m paying for Spotify and have access to every song ever made. But… right now I don’t seem to enjoy it either. I can’t find any “good” songs. I used to love music until recently.
However during the day I have music on in the background.

I have been so lucky in that I still get a lot of pleasure from music and can listen to a lot. I appreciate a lot of us can’t.

When my illness began the lyrics bothered me so I listened to music without singing. Now I listen to a lot more because the lyrics don’t bother me as much.

I listened to music constantly all my life until my only child died when I was 51. I was simply mad about music until then. And I loved all music. My favorites were pop and rock. My least favorite was country. At 51, I no longer found any joy in music so, I quit listening. Same with movies and TV.
Now, twelve years later, I’m finding myself in love with classical piano music for the first time in my life. And I’m watching movies and TV again.

I’ve discovered blues and jazz. I don’t really like long jazz improvisation just the songs with words. I never tried to learn popular music on guitar and I’m now learning some blues. I wanted to learn popular but I wasn’t honest with myself so I stopped playing entirely.

@Jinx, you weren’t honest with yourself how? You mean you didn’t like popular music?
I wasn’t honest with myself that I wanted to learn popular music and I was studying classical.
