when you pause a tape, you go from hearing a full fledge of audio, to a silent hum that for some reason can fill up an entire room and seem louder than the audio itself. but why do you pause the tape? why not just continue to let it play and get to the end of the song?
there’s always a reason. and although that uncomfortable, hindering, hum may not be pleasing for it’s duration, when you press play again, you can go back to enjoying what you were listening to.
just hope that your tape doesn’t get eaten in the process.
