shower thought: did people in europe like 400 years ago have classical music fever dreams where they had church songs stuck in their head
like imagine being really sick and trying to sleep but you just can’t get Handel’s Messiah out of your brain
That's a good question. . . Would music be as accessible, or catchy? When I think about everything I get stuck in my head it's because it's so catchy or whatever, which classical definitely could do but probably not as effectively
yeah the original angle I was going at was have people always had bad earworms and then I had the thought of people only having frequent access to music through church (which was obviously not the case for everywhere, it was just convenient) and then I had the funny thought of that being what torments you
they wouldve had folk music and stuff as well, mfs arent humming bach to themselves as they sew crops lol
you’re right I’m sure there were some banger peasant songs we may never know 😔
