lol i always thought this aswell

Should people who don't excel at anything be allowed to live?

I feel like we need to start doing hunger games / Olympic type events, which at around the age of 12 u need to participate in. U will be tested to see if you are good at anything and if you are not u will be dumped or something. Probably be fun to televise as well.

Am i on to something ?

you remind me of that one friend of a friend who basically lives couchsurfing, taking acid all day spouting nonsense about how he's a reborn king of the natives.. he told me everyone should just put their 2-3 y/o kid on the street for a few years so they get strong and develop individuality. all this while he hasnt showered in weeks and has a 9 year old son

When u guys listen too music do you hear your own voice singing the melody or the instrument playing it ?

the instrument

people who don't excell at things should be sewn inside of horse costumes (two persons per) & then put through a prolonged manchurian candidate style brainwashing campaign to convince them they actually are horses. then the people who are left will ride them to get places, as is befitting a king. this will solve the problem of global warming as well, there are many benefits

When u try to follow it. DO you hear the note of the instrument going up or down or like your own voice in your head doing it.

that's a weird yet interesting question. which raises many questions: 

why are you asking that? what made you think of that? what about you, do you hear your voice or the instrument (or both)? why did you type "do" in all caps?

oh yeah, that's called audiation. which is completely different from what you're asking. you're mixing up 2 different things. 

Yea i noticed it was different. But i started trying to do it and now my voice wont shut up when im listening to music. I wonder if thats just ADD or maybe other people hear their voice doubling up the instrument aswell when they listne to music. But i hadnt heard of that term before i will check it out.

I  didnt mean anything by that capitalization.

I misinterpreted what u said i didn't know the difference.

i just realized you didn't mention if the music was new or already known to the listener, i assumed your question was about previously unheard music, for no reason.

if you already know the music, you audiate - meaning you hear the melody in your head before it's even played. if not, your brain just processes and memorizes the pitches. 

I have it with both new and known music. Its kinda like being at a concert and some asshole next to you is screaming the whole melody. Very annoying because i don't know how to not do it now.  I feel like im just overthinking it constantly,really ruins music listening compared to when i dont have that problem. Because when i dont have that problem im able to follow / hear the melody much better.

So whats it like for u when u listen to music ?
And when u audit u hear your voice or the instrument in your head. Like in the video when the bass drops out. I was only able to hear my voice because thats all im thinking of now.

if you have it with new music, it's not audiation, it's just very fast processing from your brain. which can be super useful when coupled with ear training and knowledge of music theory.

when i listen to music i already know, i hear the instruments in my head, not my voice. you might have a brain lesion my friend  

btw, i forgot to mention that one can audiate even with new music, when the music follows a familiar/predictable pattern and you can hear what's coming next in advance. and music is all about predictability, repetition, surprise, subverting expectations etc.

im just a dirty glue sniffer.
