Do you listen intently?

I work from home couple of days per week and sometimes listen to music on my system while I work. Something would attract my attention and I would focus on music for a minute and make a note to come back to it for a more critical listen. 

I listen intently at night when the house gets quiet and I want to enjoy music and what my system can accomplish while reproducing what’s on the recording.
 

If I am listening to music, I need to be totally absorbed in it. I don't do background music, except when I have no choice in a restaurant or wherever.  

Whilst reading....an informed intensity.

Whilst eating....a fulfilling intensity.

Whilst showering...a clean intensity.

Whilst driving.....an intensity with a destination.

Whilst drinking....an altered intensity.

And Whilst dancing....an intensity not to pull a muscle.
