The other day I was sitting down, chilling out with friends, listening to music same as always,. when I noticed something rather peculiar, we were all moving around with the music, however I was moving at twice the pace of everyone else, which I thought was strange, (although, the music was rather slow: Death in Vegas - Opium Shuffle), then I noticed that I was also moving along with the melodies when they started to become interesting, and everyone else was still bopping along at the same old pace.
my friends seemed to be getting as much enjoyment out of the music as I was, however they were getting it in a different way, they seemed to be getting off on the general 'vibe' of the music, whereas, I was running through the song at a hundred mile an hour in my head scouring the music for every single detail and intricacy that the song had to offer, and I was thinking that my attitude towards music may been changed by all the faster paced, and heavily melodic IDM I listen to.
Later we were listening to some tool, everyone was sitting at their computers doing their own thing, the music was rather loud at this point, and I noticed that everyone including myself was singing along, just loud enough so that it couldn't be heard over the music, and I realised that I was enjoying the music in a different way to before, instead of wallowing in the 'vibe' of the song or listening to the details, I was trying to trying to connect with the music through the lyrics and singing.
I'd found 3 different ways of enjoying music
* the 'Aesthetics' or 'vibe' * listening for the details, like the snare rush that make your head wanna pop
* connecting with the music through singing
how do you enjoy your music?

do you think maybe that's another way to enjoy music, to listen, and add things with your head? maybe musicians enjoy music more this way,
does anyone think they enjoy music in a way that isn't already listed

When I listen to music that helps me sleep (boc, four tet etc.) I close my eyes and imagine that I made the music and am playing it live to a massive audience :P lol, we're allowed to dream...

When I'm driving in my car-car, I sing really loudly, unless I pull up to a light or stop sign, because then people would see me belting out the tunes and I'd be embarrased.

when I was delivering pizza's I used to sing out loud, the only problem was that I'd be listening to it with headphones on my minidisc, so people would hear me singing out loud but would hear no music, I got a few weird looks at traffic lights and such.

This sounds really weird...
But I see music.
I can't explain it, except my mind has its own way of interpreting patterns of songs, like patterns that form the various parts at the beginning of the song...
I dunno, it's just really strange, lol, I suck at explaining it.

Hmm..let's see...Nannou for example.
It's pattern at the beginning: Well it has lots of these ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' (those represent the winding sounds) and underneath are rounder shapes that make up the music-box bit starting up.
It's so bizarre!
