Anyone who loves music with a great passion can't understand someone who doesn't love music. Being a music lover means that pretty much anything reminds you of music, and you take music very seriously. Music isn't just an interest or hobby, it becomes a way of life for some. If you're one of those people, then you'll be able to relate to the following points.
1. You get overly excited when your song comes on.
Like seriously, sometimes you wonder how many people see you freak out when your favorite song comes on the radio, and it's even worse when you're in the car with someone because sometimes you can't get excited about it. Then of course, there are your closest friends who completely understand that you're just crazy or they like the song too, so you end up blasting the radio and dancing to the song with them.
2. Listening to music in public.
3. You hum, tap, or lip sync to songs without knowing.
How many time have you been just sitting somewhere with background music, and you just sit there doing one of these things? I've done it more times than I can count, and most of the time it's when I'm at a restaurant which makes it even worse 'cause whoever I'm out to eat with just makes a weird face at me. I can't help it! Music is everywhere, and I love it too much to ignore it.
4. The feeling of rediscovering a song from your childhood...
5. New album means new tour.
The statement itself should just get you excited. Automatically when an artist announces that they're in the process of making another album you immediately wonder when the tour will be announced and which song title it will be named after from the new album. Then of course there's the excitement of buying the tickets once they announce a show near you, and after that the concert is by far the highlight of the whole process.
6. Changing the station to avoid hearing a song only to find it on another station.
Nothing is worse than purposely changing the station to avoid listening to a song only to find it being played on three other stations all at about the same point in the song.
7. Road trips? More like new music trip.
Any time your family goes on a trip somewhere you love it because it means you get to discover new radio stations which could lead to discovering new songs. There's nothing more exciting than finding a new song you really like. It doesn't matter if it just got released to the radio or if it's from before you were born because your parents found an oldies station. Finding a new song you really dig is always a rush and the best part of a road trip.
8. Concerts are attended more than family events.
Your cousin is having a birthday party the night of a concert that you bought tickets to months before; there's a 10 percent chance that you'll skip the concert for the party. Then again, you bought these tickets as a birthday present to yourself... four months ago... so that you and your best friend could go... and you're not sure when they'll be back to this venue... so you go with your gut instinct, and you go to the concert, and your mom gets upset, but she gets even more upset when you keep talking about the concert a month after.
9. Making up dances to your favorite song.
This is something many people do, but never admit. If you are a horrible dancer but passionate about music, there's a very high chance that you've made up a dance or two in your time to some of your favorite songs.
Maybe your friends even join in with you.
10. Casual conversation reminds you of song lyrics.
You said you want it to rain tomorrow? Is it because you're thirsty or because tomorrow's another day? Oh, what does it matter anyways, I mean tomorrow is another day, and you are thirsty anyways so just bring on the rain. (The song I'm referring to is "Bring on The Rain" by Jo Dee Messina, but you can do it with almost any other song.)
11. Music takes up more space in your phone than anything else.
I'm pretty sure that I have over 3GB of music on my phone and maybe only a half GB of contacts. That includes my email and Facebook synced contacts. As for pictures, I think I'm around 1.5GB for photos and videos and that along with music is what my phone consists of. So yes, I do have an obsession with music, and no, I do not think that it's a problem.
