I could rarely pick out more than a few words here-and-there before I got into Hi-Fi. It's much easier since the AD700 (now moved on to the Q701's), but I still mainly listen to music for the melody. I guess it's kinda like how my beginner's photography stood out by with good composition, because I didn't get distracted by details because my eyes aren't that awesome. Other kids my age took snaps of friends and family, only interesting to themselves and eventually even they got bored of the activity, while I saw things differently and it became a kind of quest to show people something they might've missed. Once I got glasses (like good headphones), those same "cool shots" usually became amazing, though I remembered that I have to experiment and not take things too literally. In music, I can hear the lyrics, but I immerse myself in what all the musicians are doing, and hearing "more" just builds the mood and tension.
Did I mention my sleep schedule is messed up and I don't really have anything to focus my attention to? Yeah. I even sound crazy to myself XD
