So recently I've been stuck in a bit of a musical rut. Am I allowed to admit that? I just can't seem to find any music to satisfy my tastes and I'm trying to find something that can be played alongside my studying without distracting me too much or boring me more than my work.
I tend to find that the upbeat, indie/alternative, rock tracks I used to listen to obsessively aren't quite cutting it anymore, I want something more stimulating than a simple strophic song with the same chords, same riff, same tired voice and uninspired lyrics. There are times for songs like those and I just think that while studying they won't do.
Then again, the more complex, whirring, heartfelt singer/songwriters (the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Keaton Henson, etc.) are a bit too intense and after an hour or so they put me in an odd 4am state of mind where I feel like I need to drop everything I'm doing and fall asleep in a forest or something.
Anyway, I am determined not to settle for anything less than wonderful to talk about on this blog, so I assure you that my search will continue and the next you will hear from me will be a sincerely worthwhile recommendation. Thanks for sticking around, looks like we are all learning a lesson of patience so far this January.
