I’ve been trying to tell people this for the longest time, but I feel like I have such a special connection to music (hexbear.net)

Like I genuinely feel if I’ve heard a song enough times, I can repeat it in my head and still get the same enjoyment as actually listening to it. Maybe everyone can do that idk

But I do know that the only thing I don’t have is speed, otherwise I’d basically have perfect pitch 🥲

Okay, so I misremembered slightly. The 3 skills make up perfect pitch specifically. If I’m remembering correctly now, there’s hearing relative pitch in your head, there’s hearing the absolute pitch of songs from memory, and there’s matching the pitch of your voice to the pitch in your head or to another instrument you hear. So there may actually be people who are very good at two of the skills but you’d never know because they don’t have good voice control.
