Anyone else not able to listen to a certain song?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if I get like that, but I do sometimes get embarrassed at a certain song. When it comes on I feel like cringing, even though it is not a cringing song and a lot of people like it. I hear it in my head and get a feeling of embarrassment, a strange kind of embarrassment what I can't explain.

I get that feeling too! It's weird because you're embarrassed about something somebody else is doing.

I get totally nauseated whenever I hear Celine Dion's song "That's The Way It Is." She's just horrible on that song; I have to turn off the radio whenever it comes on.

Yay I'm not the only one! I get that weird feeling at other things too.

Anything by Colplay makes me feel like someone is holding my nose very tightly. I have to turn them off immediately when they come on the radio. It's amazing how they manage to portray the feeling of dieing slowly through asphyxiation so adequately in each and every song they produce.

There is one song that I absolutely can't stand, for no reason I can see. I'm not fond of the singer, but nothing else he does upset me like this. Once, a few years ago, I had to put up with someone humming it near me ; I managed to remain calm but I was getting crazy.

Anything by Celine Dion. I cannot stand the sound of her singing voice.

There is one song on the album "Four," by Blues Traveler. I can't remember the title; it is either immediately before or after "The Mountains Win Again." It is AWFUL. I was listening to that album in the car the other day (hadn't played it in years) and had forgotten that song; I had the volume turned up and was shouting along with the music and then that song came on.

I damn near wrecked the vehicle scrambling to turn the freakin' CD player OFF. That's a little bit of an exaggeration, but-- I really did scramble for the OFF switch, and it really was painful enough to mess up my vision and processing for a few seconds. Fortunately I was sitting in morning traffic on 279 South at just short of a dead stop.

There are lots of songs I can't stand to listen to but the worst one is The Joker by the Steve Miller Band. I HATE THAT SONG. I can't even describe the way it makes me feel.

Disco music/funky old music makes me feel like I'm trapped in a hot stuffy car.

I know exactly what you mean

Yes, anything by Beiber.

Club/techno music makes me feel like a seizure is imminent.

That dreadful whitney Houston song "I'll always love you" I hate that song it sounds like she's in agony.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who hates that song with a burning passion. I don't know whose idea it was to put those horrible clipping bass sounds in the beginning or to spam it everywhere in the late 90s, but they earn my disapproval.

On a related note, I can't stand most pop music, especially pop songs with bouncy female vocals. For whatever reason, the very sound of it just drives me insane, and I need to listen to something like this afterwards to get it to go away

This works too in more extreme circumstances (warning, extremely loud and dissonant, as Japanese noise music should be)

Trust me, you don't want to get me started on music. I have strange tastes, like one day I'll be listening to softer stuff like Depeche Mode or The Beatles, and the next I'll be checking out grindcore bands.

I only like instrumentals I really appreciate instrumental music it seems to have much more effort than mainstream music with lyrics which to me I see as a generic/basic pattern

So in the end most of my music is from the incredibly indie musicians or video games or animes.

I can't stand most jazz. "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley makes me want to crawl out of my skin (so does his name). "Doctor Doctor" by the Thompson Twins used to give me insomnia if I heard it.

So. Yes.
