TL;DR: Title.
Exposition below:
I have the brain worm that makes it hard to focus on things I don't find (for lack of better words) arbitrarily interesting; but all my favorite songs, the ones I "would" use to learn how to read, just because I like them; are all convoluted pieces with weird time signatures, intentionally subversive rhythms, or dense chord progressions and arpeggios.
I would sooner fall asleep if I had to play one more second of Hot-cross-buns, but it's not exactly like I can just jump into reading "On Green Dolphin Street" or "Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ, part II" or whatever Tool song of the week I'm listening to: My brain would implode! What should I do?
