I call the experience you describe in the first paragraph "icking." As in, I've been obsessed with [insert here] since June, but now I'm starting to "ick on it" - have momentary feeling of disgust/hurt when it comes to mind, even if big picture I still love it and always will. Worst thing: icking on the extant obsession without a new obsession in the wings.
oh that's interesting! To me, that wasn't a moment of "ick", it was the fact that it was Adam Lambert and not Freddie when his voice is all I wanted to hear.
But yes, I feel the ache in my chest when you describe that feeling of hurt and disgust around something that you love so deeply. 💔
Just in case you haven't had the opportunity or just aren't familiar, I highly recommend the last album with Freddie, MADE IN HEAVEN. It's a painfully poignant masterpiece recorded during Freddie's final months. And it's amazingly brilliant and beautiful. It also highlights how truly he special he was..... He was dying and still sounded better than anyone else at their best.
I actually hadn't listened to this album all the way through yet. Here's a glimmer of hope that it will revive my obsession. I still get jittery and excited when I come across all things Freddie, but it's no longer to top of mind and all encompassing as it was. And I miss it!!
