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. 💔
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!!
