Pink Floyd had a good point when resisting the demands to release their albums digitally. They argued that their music was written to be listened to as a whole – that their songs melded into one another and were not distinct entities.
I am very guilty of that. I hop in the car, switch on my phone and stick it on shuffle* – I enjoy being surprised and not knowing what the next song will be. And as I have a wide and eclectic taste in music it can jump from one genre to the next with some startling contrasts.
However, I have become guilty of only listening to music in this way. I need to sit down, relax, and make the time to listen to a whole album in order the way it was meant to be.
Pink Floyd’s Animals is a good candidate to start with. So I am off to redress the balance.

Interesting I listen on shuffle too and if old school friends are in the car with me they always express surprise at the diversity 😀 hope you’re all well

When things get too stressful I’ve got a great gratitude app and I’ve logged things I’m thankful for as I go along and it’s good to remind myself of them 😊 all my London auditions in the next week 😬

That sounds like a good idea I might look into that.
