Has your opinion on a song changed because of hearing it in a certain situation?
I have heard many songs that when heard in and of itself, I didn’t like. But then I hear it in some kind of context (in a commercial or promo, for example), and I like it (even when heard out of the context). For example, the song Paradise by Coldplay I did not like when I heard it. Then I was on vacation and having a moment of reflection on top of a mountain when the song came on. It seemed to be apropos in that moment, and now I like the song when I hear it on the radio.
I’ve also had instances where I hear songs for the first time in a promo and like it, but when heard on it’s own, I’m not a fan. This has happened a lot with songs that are played over sports highlight reels to preview the playoffs or something. I like the song there, but then I download and listen to it without the context, and I hate it.
Does this happen to you? Can you give examples of the times it has happened?
