When my hearing is bad it’s hard to find any music to listen to, it all sounds off.
Some is worse than others. it may have something to do with the frequencies in the music, but I think it’s got more to do with how deep in my brain it is. Stick with me!!
I thought I would really enjoy Sons of Korah, but it’s way off. I’ve only known of them for 15 years.
Midnight oil is OK. Crowded house too. And Stryper. they are all bands I listened to in the 80’s.
But since before Christmas when my hearing crashed nothing sounds any good. So yesterday I tried something from my childhood. Yes Spotify actually had the Sesame St Ernie and Bert sing along. And yes, it actually sounded OK. ‘Old Mc Donald had a Farm’ etc
My guess, it’s from when I was 5-10 years old, it’s so deep in my brain it can’t hear it wrong.
I have listened to U2 ‘Where the streets have no name’ many more times. But even that sounds a bit off.
So if you find me listening to Harry Belafonte ‘Banana Boat’ don’t panic. I’m just having a bad hearing day.
