I play 2.5 instruments well, sing well, and like lots of music, but after I went through major clinical depression, I stopped listening to it. I can go to a concert and be totally enthralled from a musician's perspective; I can play for hours; but I rarely listen to CDs (which I did for hours each day before my depression) and never listen to the radio. The desire to listen to music seems to have disappeared permanently. I theorize that it has something to do with my lack of desire to feel emotions, but maybe it's some brain difference. Interesting.
