Headphones....

Since I've been at my new job, I've had to use headphones to listen to music.

I hate wearing headphones.

However, I have noticed that when using headphones, I hear things I haven't heard before. Usually it's some small sound or background accent, but it's amazing how that little sound adds so much to a song.

That or you notice more sound separation... what I mean by that is sounds on either the left or right side or moving back and forth. Some songs that are great examples of this:
  • Here's Comes The Sun - The Beatles
  • Whole Lotta Love - Led Zepplin
  • Walking Blind - Foolish Things

I wish I had a GOOD pair of headphones.

Of course that works the other way too. You can hear stuff that you may not like as much too.

U2's song, Moment of Surrender is a great song, but they put in this weird beedledeboop in the background that, for me, is really distracting and takes away from the song. I would love to talk to them and ask them what they were thinking.
