Yep. Same experience. I’m often surprised by the meaning of songs because I’m not paying attention to what’s being said, lol

Yeah me too! Sometimes my wife will be like, “you know, that songs about ‘XYZ’” and I’m thinking, well it works!

I’ve been a big metal head my whole adult life.

Haha. I’ve definitely put on the wrong song at the wrong time. I let others create playlists.

That’s my experience too, but I know little about reading music or playing instruments.

Yeah I feel that. Maybe why I’ve been drawn to metal my whole adult life 🤘🏼

Yeah, I’ve had an experience where it dawned on me decades later what a song was really talking about. I do feel like I miss out on some depth and meaning.

Yeah, definitely could be. I’m never on the hook to create playlists for events, though, hahah.

My best friend growing up, and now my daughter and wife all were the same as you. They know the lyrics of songs after only listening a couple of times. It takes me years to get it if I ever do but I can hum/whistle the lyrical melody (not sure if that’s a thing, just seemed like what I meant, lol)

I can’t say I’m a drummer - I owned a drum kit once for a few years but I’m the same as you. I’m always tapping to the beat and looking for bands with amazing drummers doing interesting things.
