I bet many of us cant listen to a song without thinking of "how did they do that"...
How so you cope with it?
Can you enjoy music without analyzing?
For me I try to...
But always end up analyzing.
If its melody, chords, effect.
Those "i cant figure out what's happening" songs always stands out as a, "i need to find out" songs.
Like the Devin Townsend song Kingdom.
I have seen some videos of Devin later on where he explain how he uses delay instead of reverb on vocals.
And how that killed it...
Its hard to just enjoy music
If you are trained in pedagogy, performance, and composition, it's impossible. We get carried away with buying stuff that really only appeals to other users instead of the everyday person in the street.
There's not a person in my neighborhood would say "Oh you should have used Fab Filter instead of stock DAW plugins. "The dude should be using a Gibson instead of an Epiphone". "Squire are for noobs, get a real Strat."
That's just another side of the coin.
Even with classical music sometimes I want to look at a score to see what was done.
