JUST PLAY YOUR OWN BEATLES MUSIC BUT LOUDER!!!
NO BUT SEE
I CONSIDERED THAT but I mean then my thought was "well I mean that would be weird if I can already hear it from here"
but then somehow I feel like I got much more wrapped up in actually being able to recognize each song than simply enjoying them. Like, I mean, it sort of played out like:
1st song: Oh, hey, is that Magical Mystery Tour? ...Oh, hey, it is. That's cool.
2nd song: Oh, and now it's A Day in the Life. Cool!
3rd song: ...I'm like almost certain that's another Beatles song but I can't quite tell which one...
So I walked over to the window just to listen more closely, since I was curious (and, at that point, I'm pretty sure they had turned the volume down at least a little...). And then, once I recognized which song it was, I was content with that, and sat back down. ...But then I kept getting curious every time it sounded like a different song, so I sort of kept walking over to the window a bunch of times and after a while THINGS GOT WEIRD.
Cuz like, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it seems to me that, when you can only
barely hear a song and you're not quite sure what it is yet, your brain tries to fill in the parts you can't hear with some other familiar tune and then
that's what plays in your head until you're actually able to recognize the song as something else and then your perception of it just completely changes.
Like, for a second, I somehow mistook
I Saw Her Standing There for
Helter Skelter and let me tell you THOSE ARE TWO
VERY DIFFERENT SONGS.
And then, like, there were a bunch of times when I
thought it had moved on to another song because the tune sounded different again, but then I scurried on over to the window and realized it actually hadn't changed and that I somehow just started interpreting it as something else after a while of not being able to hear it clearly. And one of the songs that managed to do this to me was Hey Jude, which is INCREDIBLY REPETITIVE. HOW DID A SONG IN WHICH THE LAST FOUR MINUTES SOUND PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY THE SAME MANAGE TO DO THAT TO ME???
As you can see, it's been a weird evening.
