Over-familiar, the music has become a kind of audio- Valium, background music rather than something I listen to actively and attentively. A gin and tonic after a long day. A shame, I think, because while each note remains the same, I used to hear them differently. It used to sound better.David Nicholls
About This Quote
The music has become a kind of audio-Valium, meaning it is too familiar. The music has taken on the typical sound of the typical bar, but over time it has become more of a background music rather than something you listen to actively and attentively. It is like having a gin and tonic after a long day, it makes you feel better, but that drink is just one drink, not your entire life.
