It's fun and fulfilling, but the problem is, when I try to listen to any song that I know how to play, I can't listen to it in an innocent form; I have to think about the different parts to the song, how they're formed, how it's played, the timing, the chord changes...all of that. And when I listen to something new, I have to figure out how it's played, or how it's at least organized, and I can never just enjoy listening. It's annoying. It's probably common for people (anyone) to do this, but it sorta bugs me, because when I didn't know how to play anything, I would just listen to the song, and let the music and the words make me think about different things, and so the songs were more meaningful. Now it seems like a chore, almost. At least tonight it does. /stupid rant that no one will give a shit about.

I can play 5 instruments and I can honestly say I can disconnect myself from the piece actually, I have perfect pitch and just focus on the notes and the colors that they make and don't worry about knowing how to play it myself.

I'm an avid singer and formerly avid pianist, in AP Theory I find it worse, because, being in a Music Theory class ruins your idea of music. You think music seems to be a spontaneous wonderous formation of notes to make a beautiful melody when you're uneducated. When you learn about Ionian through Locrian modes, Harmonic minors, Parallel fifths, etcetera, you can't listen through a piece of music without saying "Oh my god, there's Sol, the dominant pitch, but then where's the submediant?"
