The lyrics you play on repeat are the words you’re rehearsing. Choose what you’re memorizing.

A song on repeat does not stay in the background. The lines go in the same way a times table goes in, and after a hundred plays you are quoting them to yourself without meaning to. That matters most with the songs about being worthless, or about someone who will never stay.

Look at your most played this week and read one chorus as a sentence someone said to you. Keep the ones you would want repeated, and let the others live somewhere other than repeat.
