By the time you’re done with a song, are you sick of hearing it?

Or is your most recent song your new favorite, even though you’ve just listened to it 437 times to get the mix right?

I don’t know, maybe I’m getting old or something. But it used to be that I would get sick to death of my own songs pretty quickly. Now, though, it seems each one is my new favorite, at least until I start on the next one.

Anyway, I was thinking today about how my perspective has changed, and was wondering how other people feel about their own stuff after working hard to get a song out the door.

Still love it, or sick of hearing it?

Finishing the mix, does it change how you feel about your song?

  • I usually find that if I'm sick of hearing a track at the mixing stage, that's not a good sign. It means that particular song is destined to the "commit to oblivion" bin faster than the rest.

    But then again sometimes I can fall in love with something I've made, only to really hate it a few months later. Generally it requires at least a few months worth of hindsight to judge the work objectively. Some things aren't as bad as you remember, and many things are not as good.

  • I can’t really speak about this since it has been ages since the last finished tune I made. But I probably would vote for both: I’m in love with my last creation but I won’t be a able to listen to it one more time but for self propaganda

  • At the moment I finish something that's when I am sick of it or vise-versa.

  • I can't respond to the poll because the choices are too extreme.

    What happens to me is at some point I stop actually hearing the song. Whereas when I was producing it I would focus in on various parts, and how the whole fits together, by the time I'm happy enough with the mix, I start to tune out. But, I don't think I get to the point of having put in that much work only to think it's rubbish. I quit a long time before that if so.

  • Definitely of the, “my new favourite” group. I enjoy the entire process. I’m also like @richardyot, I go back a few months later and see how I truly feel. Same when I’m writing fiction - there, I actually do need to put something down for a while before I actually finish it, otherwise I lose objectivity completely.

  • Never, my family is though. They’re being nice about it though and generally dig the tracks.

  • I'm sick of it before I start recording it. The recording is instrumental to the process of getting it out of my head and putting it somewhere else.

  • defo. But often i enjoy coming back to the tracks - the good uns - after several months.

    I love almost all of my tracks and can listen to them enough times to drive everyone around me insane...right up until I record vocals on them. It’s not that I’m a bad singer, either, but I just have a hard time enjoying listening to myself. Of course, that’s also what typically signifies completion. Probably a sign that I should seek another person to handle the lyrics and vocals...

  • I usually like stuff better listening back to it months or years later when I have kind of forgotten it, usually pleasantly suprised but cringe level listening back does increase generally with the age of some tracks

  • I love to listen to my songs many times, even after they are finished. I don't get sick of them at all. Also, I love to listen to my unfinished tunes and the 8-bar id ideas.

  • I'm making the music that I love, so I love listening to it...
