Best way to listen to a good song to make it greater!

with good songs that catch your ear, you should really be a musical surgeon and dissect the different parts to analyze it individually. i think it's the best way to really appreciate a song.

this is what i do:
- first listen to the song as a whole
- listen and focus on the lyrics
- focus on main instrumentals - pick apart instrument parts (just piano, drum beats, bass, etc.)
- pick apart harmonies
- pinpoint background music, especially the hints of an otherwise hidden instrument
- listen to it again as a whole

that's how i write my analysis on the songs posted here before along with my random thoughts connected with the song.

if you have time and you really like a song, this is how you start to LOVE it.

more to come. i finally found another artist i wanna put on the spotlight.
