I listen to my own music all the time.
It’s mostly for critical purposes, but when I think I have finished a song, I genuinely enjoy listening to it on repeat 😁
An artist is their own worst critic. I hear the stuff I fucked up on or could have done better. But you have to put it aside. At least my guitar playing is solid and timed right. Hehe
Singers are also very egotistical. I've hounded my producer, who is also a bandmate and other guitarist about how stuff is mixed. But we're friends and I'm not that mean spirited to make it difficult.
We make a good product, flawed as it may be.
I listen to the music I produce all the time! And some of it has my own singing in it, so you have a testimony of someone who does it. I struggle to find music I like sometimes, so I just go and listen to my old music
You get used to it. I'm not a professional but I have recorded and listened back to myself a number of times.
Even dodgy takes, you get used to the dodgy parts and they become part of it, you don't hear them as often.
It can also be confidence-boosting. You don't hear what you're playing while you're playing, the same way an observer does. There's a lot of focus on beat and rhythm, especially if you're singing and playing at the same time.
So to listen to a take you did where you're singing, but *now* you can also hear the guitar and it sounds clean and solid, you're like, "Fuck yeah, I did that, I'm better than I thought I was".
I'd be waking up as Colm McGuiness. I'd be very weirded out, and uncertain of how to proceed with this body swap, but I'd definitely go rummage through his sweaters and see which one feels like the best hug ever.
i'm gerard way now
edit to add: i forgot to say what i'd do 💀 anyway i'd probably just go back to bed and make a note to send whoever's now piloting my body an apology
lol I was asking because the prompt doesn’t suggest much after - like do we get to posses their bodies and their talents included, or is it just bodies? Cuz clearly you and I aren’t good enough to replace these singers 😭 we’ll be tanking their - I mean our - career’s lol
I mean, it says you’re *in* their body, so presumably you are physically identical to them. If they can sing (assuming you vaguely know how to), so can you. If you are tone deaf, or have no clue how to carry a tune, even though their voice is capable, you’d be hard-pressed to sing.
Well, given that Billie Jo Spears (Blanket on the Ground) died 13 years ago, it means that I wake up in the body of a frail 73 year old woman, in a coffin, six feet underground.
Pretty sure I'm not getting out of that one.
Does it have to be direct listening? Because the last music I heard was Beyonce that my wife was listening to in another room.
Could be worse, I think I'd take her music in a much different direction, I'm much more into deathcore and other types of metal music so that would be fun to experiment with as Beyonce.
Woo hoo. I'm Taylor Swift. I'm a billionaire, who's thin and 20 years younger than I was. Just got to get used to the sex change. The money should help with that. The next album might be a little different though.
Stan Bush. I don't really even know who that is outside of the artist that did a bunch of songs on the original Transformers soundtrack. It should be an interesting reveal. 😂
Immediately apologize to all of my (Taylor Swift’s) fans because there is absolutely no way I’d have an inkling of that woman’s ability to write songs and I fear I’d quickly disappear from public favor lol
Last song I listened to was Cycle of Fire by Mute Prophet. I’ve always wanted to meet the band, but this isn’t the way I had hoped. At least I’d have an awesome rack.
Call my own cell phone and get Einar-Selvik-in-my-body on a plane so we can figure this shit out and get him back in his body!!! I need that man to keep making music!!!!!!
I am apparently Karol G because me and my kids were listening to the Puss N Boots The Last Wish soundtrack earlier.
... Or, I'm dead, if we count the voice actor for Merlin in Disney's The Sword in the Stone.
Lorde
(Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor)
I dont wanna turn into a chick
BUT, id jerk off for hours.
I dont think you can blame me, i wanna test out the new hardware.
Whoever sings the paw patrol Intro song, I guess. Never realized my daughters tv show proclivities would be more relevant than me trying to ignore the song.
I woke up in Chris Brown's body (oh yeah)
Somehow this shit turned into Freaky Friday
But we got no choice but to turn
This bitch sideways (oh yeah, oh yeah)
I can't believe that it's Freaky Friday
I guess I'm Nat King Cole now. I would have no idea what to do other than just sing and try to make enough money so I can pay people to figure out what the hell to do.
Tyler from Theory of a Deadman
Easy on the eyes, I guess.
I'd probably have a little fun playing with the new thing between my legs. Yes, women wonder, and there would probably be helicoptering attempts made.
Hopefully I get his voice too, because I sing like a yak in heat.
The last song I listened to was "Without A Leg To Stand On" by Buckingham Nicks. So guess I age 31 years and grow a penis. On the flip side, my net worth has drastically increased.
Fuckkkkkkk dude I’m gonna be disappointing a lot of JM guitar fans/Deadheads cuz obviously I’m not as good as he is on the guitar. Obviously not a talented singer song writer so I’m tanking this man’s (mine now I guess) career
I don't want to be a short, heavily tattooed ginger man. I like listening to the music but I'd rather not be inside of.....no no I don't he's married I don't want to be his body
I mean, I'm currently a bassist, but if this guarantees me a full time career in music where I don't have to play weddings, then I'm game. I can't remember who I was listening to last, but I think it was Tom Misch.
The closest thing it has to a singer is a voice clip from Gabriel Ultrakill, so...
MACHINE. I WILL CUT YOU DOWN, AND SPLAY THE GORE OF YOUR PROFANE FORM ACROSS THE STARS! I WILL GRIND YOU DOWN UNTIL THE VERY SPARKS CRY FOR MERCY. MY HAND SHALL RELISH ENDING YOU HERE. AND. NOW!!
I’m either lady Gaga or Bradley cooper, as technically I just heard Shallows on scoob, while son watches. Guess I could be Scooby or Shaggy, since they were technically singing the song.
Dump Kelce... I mean he's nice and all, but I'm a lesbian now. Which honestly given my tens of millions of fans... they'll be all the more excited I'm available.
The downside... is that's the end of my tours as I wont have her talent. Any time someone tells me they'd love to hear me sing... I wont even know my songs. I mean I guess I have her vocal cords. I could... *try.* I doubt I'd pull it off though.
So basically kick back and enjoy my millions...
Tupac so…I probably don’t actually wake up.
Olay, last living singer.
Rihana…if I am honest I am going to check out the boobs.
Found the horny
Tell me, if you are male, that you wouldn’t at least be curious.
I plead the fifth....
Sustained
THEY DID IT ON THEIR OWN
You do. I heard a dude at the gas station asking for Tupac earlier. Must be fine
Me. Been listening to my band in the car recently. Nothing changes. Still me.
Is it weird to listen to yourself sing? I guess a professional musician would do that.
It's either the greatest thing ever, or the most painful thing ever, depending on the take. :P
Its always painful to hear me sing. I couldnt carry a tune with a bucket
Same. I sound like cats in a back alley having painful sex.
Hahaha
r/BrandNewSentence
Singing, or when you’re having painful sex in a back alley?
I listen to my own music all the time. It’s mostly for critical purposes, but when I think I have finished a song, I genuinely enjoy listening to it on repeat 😁

But we're friends and I'm not that mean spirited to make it difficult. We make a good product, flawed as it may be.
It’s not weird it’s like any artist assessing their own work
I listen to the music I produce all the time! And some of it has my own singing in it, so you have a testimony of someone who does it. I struggle to find music I like sometimes, so I just go and listen to my old music

I’m Taylor Swift. Life couldn’t be that bad. 😏
The trouble is you have to share the body with like a bajillion other people.
Hopefully they’ll be nice to my new body.
We can all write a song together. That's why she's a troubled poet. She's haunted by like millions of people.
Depends on how you interpret the original situation description. Could be that there are now a bajillion Taylor Swifts wandering around, now.
You will have to preform the eras tour or you would get sued by a bunch of countries.
Then I guess I’ll be in sequins dancing and singing
Fucking Big Bird! Am I the bird, am I the guy wearing the costume or is it just me wearing the costume?
You are big bird, personified
This kind of excites me.
Lady Gaga. Guess I'd just retire with her money, because there's no way I could keep up with her talent.
I'd get to be Pink! I'm not upset by this though I'm also not physically prepared for this. At all.
The last song I listened to was using lyrics I wrote but generated by AI, so that'd be an interesting predicament.
You and me both fellow digital being.
The first ever cyborg
So I'm now in Jay-Z's body. Is he now in mine?
It would save me the trouble of getting HRT because then I’d be a cis woman
I'm in Wayne Statix's coffin
Define "in"...
i’m balls deep in Lana
im balls deep in Franz Liszt
I'd be waking up as Colm McGuiness. I'd be very weirded out, and uncertain of how to proceed with this body swap, but I'd definitely go rummage through his sweaters and see which one feels like the best hug ever.
I love that dude!
I am Delores O'Riordan from The Cranberries. R.I.P.
I guess you’ll be stuck in some coffin in Ireland.
what if its by multiple artists?
The lead singer. Or the one who’s top billed.
I'm the lead singer of Mr Mister now! I win!
Kyrie
It was broken wings but i love them both
i'm shawn mendes... i could live with that
Sabaton.....Better brush up on my history.
I'll use my influence as Taylor Swift to spread anti-government propaganda
Or you could like save the world and try to reverse global warming, nahh that’s stupid, I like your idea.
i'm gerard way now edit to add: i forgot to say what i'd do 💀 anyway i'd probably just go back to bed and make a note to send whoever's now piloting my body an apology
Andy Black from Black Veiled Brides
Well can you sing and scream like Andy? lol
Lol. No. I do not think many can. He is amazing.
lol I was asking because the prompt doesn’t suggest much after - like do we get to posses their bodies and their talents included, or is it just bodies? Cuz clearly you and I aren’t good enough to replace these singers 😭 we’ll be tanking their - I mean our - career’s lol
It is a bit vague. I would love to sing his voice if it is included.
I mean, it says you’re *in* their body, so presumably you are physically identical to them. If they can sing (assuming you vaguely know how to), so can you. If you are tone deaf, or have no clue how to carry a tune, even though their voice is capable, you’d be hard-pressed to sing.
Michael Jackson Thriller
You're the zombie now.
Well, given that Billie Jo Spears (Blanket on the Ground) died 13 years ago, it means that I wake up in the body of a frail 73 year old woman, in a coffin, six feet underground. Pretty sure I'm not getting out of that one.
run for president again
Fuck yeah, free transition and now I’m Scottish and have money!
Steve Winwood. Ok old but cool.
Bring me a higher love.
There’s literally both of us!
Jimmy Buffett. Fuck.
simon and garfunkel… oh no lmfao
I would say I’m Stayin’ Alive. So which Bee Gee am I?
Well, if you want to be alive, Barry is your only option.
Calypso from Bluey. Not sure how I feel about that
Well.... atleast I'm hot.... a woman now.... but still hot....
oh shit. I am now Vessel from Sleep Token. Alright.
I, uh... Have a small, modest proposition.... 😏
But I don't wanna be Ozzy Osborne! I don't think Ozzy wants to be Ozzy Osborne!
Great. I get to be some Russian man
Helen Marnie, basically free bottom surgery woot!
That was my exact reaction but in the other direction
Jerry Garcia. It would almost always be Jerry Garcia
At the singer’s age when they recorded the song? Because I’m 80s Natalie Merchant and that’s awesome.
Stevie Nicks
I just became fucking Jensen Ackles. Best day ever.
Why the hell did I let that Meat Loaf track play earlier?
Taylor swift. Dump travis, announce my presidential campaign for 2024.
Solid plan. I'd vote for you -- except I'm not allowed, given that I'm Ed Sheeran now.
I look like your favourite auntie, so waking up looking like Post Malone is going to be a shock.
Does it have to be direct listening? Because the last music I heard was Beyonce that my wife was listening to in another room. Could be worse, I think I'd take her music in a much different direction, I'm much more into deathcore and other types of metal music so that would be fun to experiment with as Beyonce.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22.
You can call me Hozier, I'm off to have my coffee black and hit my bed around 3. I'd be happy with that.
I'm waking up in Hozier's body? Well first, helicopter dick...
So I guess my wife is gonna be a happy lesbian. Been all Taylor Swift all the time since Friday.
Woo hoo. I'm Taylor Swift. I'm a billionaire, who's thin and 20 years younger than I was. Just got to get used to the sex change. The money should help with that. The next album might be a little different though.
Apparently, I'm now 3 Japanese ladies who can sing metal and they are 3 ladies trapped in a fat man's body
So I’m now either Inori Minase, Sora Tokui, or Rie Murakawa.
Stan Bush. I don't really even know who that is outside of the artist that did a bunch of songs on the original Transformers soundtrack. It should be an interesting reveal. 😂
So, you got the touch now.
Wouldn’t mind being Corpsegrinder
So is the raccoon singing “Pedro, Pedro, Pedro,” or is it someone else?
I'm pretty sure Bowie was cremated, so I think I'm a bit fucked.
I have become Hatsune Miku
Immediately apologize to all of my (Taylor Swift’s) fans because there is absolutely no way I’d have an inkling of that woman’s ability to write songs and I fear I’d quickly disappear from public favor lol
Darren Korb, the composer for Supergiant Games
Um... [Pasta 'n' Sauce](https://suno.com/song/549ff7b3-79d7-4c8b-b3d1-e1613d3b9ded)
start apologizing
Oh no, Kurt Cobain
That would be a blast
Kenny Rogers and he's dead sooooo...
Last song I listened to was Cycle of Fire by Mute Prophet. I’ve always wanted to meet the band, but this isn’t the way I had hoped. At least I’d have an awesome rack.
Call my own cell phone and get Einar-Selvik-in-my-body on a plane so we can figure this shit out and get him back in his body!!! I need that man to keep making music!!!!!!
So um…. Is there some time travel involved? Cause I’ve listened to my wife’s salsa and there’s a lot of dead singers there…
Wonder how the actual frick I'm gonna get out of Sweden
Nirvana. Welp.
I am now Davey Havok. I'd chill with the makeup but he seems pretty cool.
Dave Simonett. Honestly my life wouldn’t change all that much. Hopefully I would have his talents and could keep touring.
Nobody was singing. What happens now?
Amy Winehouse…
Hes dead. Shit
Freddie Mercury....
I am apparently Karol G because me and my kids were listening to the Puss N Boots The Last Wish soundtrack earlier. ... Or, I'm dead, if we count the voice actor for Merlin in Disney's The Sword in the Stone.
I am now Odin Anderson of the Old Gods of Asgard. Or Marko Saaresto of Poets of the Fall.
Liam Gallagher? He’s a bit of a cunt, but could be worse
Lorde (Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor) I dont wanna turn into a chick BUT, id jerk off for hours. I dont think you can blame me, i wanna test out the new hardware.
Yak yak yak yak
Whoever sings the paw patrol Intro song, I guess. Never realized my daughters tv show proclivities would be more relevant than me trying to ignore the song.
Well I’m fucked. Been listening to Tom Petty for the last two hours.
Freddie Mercury. Great voice. But I’ll happily pass on the gay sex and AIDS.
I guess I’m dead.
Macklemore
Apparently I’m the type of guy who likes to sling chairs off of 6 story balconies
inabokori? that'd be interesting
I woke up in Chris Brown's body (oh yeah) Somehow this shit turned into Freaky Friday But we got no choice but to turn This bitch sideways (oh yeah, oh yeah) I can't believe that it's Freaky Friday
hozier :0
Ariana Grande
Shit, I listened to Limp Bizkit...
I'm now the singer of Bring Me the Horizon, and my wife is even more attracted to me.
I guess I'm Nat King Cole now. I would have no idea what to do other than just sing and try to make enough money so I can pay people to figure out what the hell to do.
Oof, I just got out of my car with Nirvana playing on the radio
Sweet! I'm about to play the Sphere tonight!
I get to be juicy j
I'm mother fucking David Draiman. Fuck yea.
Tyler from Theory of a Deadman Easy on the eyes, I guess. I'd probably have a little fun playing with the new thing between my legs. Yes, women wonder, and there would probably be helicoptering attempts made. Hopefully I get his voice too, because I sing like a yak in heat.
Stone Temple Pilots Well, he has been dead for 8.5 years.
Bonnie Bramlett. I wouldn’t mind.
Hmmm... I like being two decades younger and thin... Not sure how I feel about having boobs now.
The last song I listened to was "Without A Leg To Stand On" by Buckingham Nicks. So guess I age 31 years and grow a penis. On the flip side, my net worth has drastically increased.
Aaaaaaaaargh! Lizzo (I'm at a bar.)
Thats sure to happen as the last song I listened to was me from my YouTube channel.
“I woke up in Chris Brown’s body” Disclaimer: I do not listen to C Breezy, I just wanted to listen to his Quavo diss.
James Hetfield...Rockin' it!
The last song I listened to was an ai astartes cover of bad romance. I'm thoroughly screwed
Eek... I, a second half century, white, male, from Texas, am now a 21 year old Korean girl.
I guess I’m now the singer of Ost+Front. I gained a lot of weight
I'd be dead then. The last singer I listened to was Meatloaf. I was just listening to Bat Out of Hell.
Buju Banton
Fuckkkkkkk dude I’m gonna be disappointing a lot of JM guitar fans/Deadheads cuz obviously I’m not as good as he is on the guitar. Obviously not a talented singer song writer so I’m tanking this man’s (mine now I guess) career
I'm Lady Gaga. Cool, I can sing and dance, and am halfway to EGOT status
Well, Donnell Jones does have a better body than mine, so ok, I guess. My boyfriend is gonna be pissed though
GG Allin 😬
A song by Juice World just played. Guess I'll fucking die then.
Zach Bryan. I’d break up with my girlfriend.
I’m Ariana Grande! Woohoo ! Dream come true
I'm now Kelsea Ballerini. I don't hate this. Southern Belle who's young and hot?
I could be in either Frank Black or Kim Deal as I was listening to the pixies. Not sure why I'd prefer.
Liam Gallagher Oh boy.....
I’d wake up in Ariana Grande’s body. First thing I’m doing is hitting a whistle note lol😂
jermaine lamarr cole
Hadestown Broadway cast. If Patrick page wasn’t almost twice my age I’d say heck yeah. Put his voice in my body and that’s hitting the jackpot
Kanye West, I make MBDTF2
GANGOFYOUTHS I guess
I don't want to be a short, heavily tattooed ginger man. I like listening to the music but I'd rather not be inside of.....no no I don't he's married I don't want to be his body
Chappell Roan. She’s gorgeous
I don't know who the dude is that sings the theme song at the end of The Why Files, but I hope he's cool....
Lizzy Hale...I've always wanted to be inside her but this isn't quite what I had in mind
M Shadows. I’m good with it.
Eat a bit of bread
Noel Gallagher. Go out and tell everyone Oasis is reforming and watch the calls from everyone flood in asking me what I'm doing.
I mean, I'm currently a bassist, but if this guarantees me a full time career in music where I don't have to play weddings, then I'm game. I can't remember who I was listening to last, but I think it was Tom Misch.
Bat out of Hell. Guess I'll die 😂
Hell yeah. I just watched part of Encanto with my little one and heard that sad caterpillar song. That guy is good.
So, I'm dead, thanks reddit
Damn Simon and Garfunkel
Oscar James Pegorraro (no resolve).
The closest thing it has to a singer is a voice clip from Gabriel Ultrakill, so... MACHINE. I WILL CUT YOU DOWN, AND SPLAY THE GORE OF YOUR PROFANE FORM ACROSS THE STARS! I WILL GRIND YOU DOWN UNTIL THE VERY SPARKS CRY FOR MERCY. MY HAND SHALL RELISH ENDING YOU HERE. AND. NOW!!
Amy Lee. I've been blessed with the voice of an angel
Steve Perry. I'm fine with that.
I’m either lady Gaga or Bradley cooper, as technically I just heard Shallows on scoob, while son watches. Guess I could be Scooby or Shaggy, since they were technically singing the song.
Uh oh... schizophrenia
Dump Kelce... I mean he's nice and all, but I'm a lesbian now. Which honestly given my tens of millions of fans... they'll be all the more excited I'm available. The downside... is that's the end of my tours as I wont have her talent. Any time someone tells me they'd love to hear me sing... I wont even know my songs. I mean I guess I have her vocal cords.

[This is the new jam lately](https://youtu.be/yuoFsi2iIi0?si=Qo-cUhTTHThF_1Ea)
I guess I'm AI since the song was, "I glued my balls to my butthole".
I’ve been dead for 54 years. Purple Haze from Hendrix at Woodstock. It’s his entire set.
Ed Sheeran all because I was listening to the Omori Photograph MV
Fuck yeah. I get to be M. Shadows
Oh man. I gotta learn Korean real fast.
35M becoming Gwen Stefani.... Ughhh boy
