Upon first listen you're often unsure .... or disappointed. It's not what you were expecting. It's not what you hoped for. It's different and your soul was expecting similar.
But you promise yourself that you'll give it another chance. The musician is an old favorite after all.
Then after three or four listens, it's even been known to take three or four years, you've decided that you like a song or two. Quite a bit in fact. Then another .... and another.
At some point, you begin including it in your mind, right there with all the older, classic albums that came before.
And before you know it, it's time for another new record. Renewed expectations and excitement about the release date, often leading to initial letdowns only to eventually become loved treasures.
..... and further notes and thoughts:
- Should all of the above be one paragraph or is it good as is?
- New release day isn't what it used to be. Even with all the access to information now, more often than not it seems, I find out about new releases, AFTER they've been out a few months.
- Or maybe I should just accept that my favorites are just not as popular with other age groups as they are with me. They've been replaced by new names and genres a few years ..... errrr decades ago.
- And why does my ankle feel tonight, like all my previous sprained ankles are coming back to haunt it?
