RB, it's really, REALLY objective. When I listen to Ode to Joy, every time I hear something new, but it's about evoking a strong and favorable emotional response out of beauty of the piece. One might as well ask why one smells a rose or hangs a piece of art. Yes, I get sick of songs or write new songs all the time, but I don't see myself ever stopping listening to Ode to Joy. One of the benefits of some pieces, usually classical or jazz, is their complexity. When I listen to Daphnis et Chloe, by Ravel (the very reason I chose my screenname), I can be swept up in the incredible melodies and movement.
