For some reason, and my parallel may be completely off, your T's response to being asked to listen to a song with you, reminds me of conversations I've had with a friend or two when they asked me to accompany them to a very intimate medical procedure. I wanted to help in the best way possible, so I asked a bunch of question like "do you want me to come into the examination room with you or wait in the waiting room?" Do you want me to stand by your head? Do you want me to hold your hand? Do you have questions for the doctor you want me to be sure the doctor hears? And so on. I think when the other partner in the relationship wants to help in an awkward and/or new territory, understanding what you need and what you want from them is pretty essential. I tend to run with the theory that most of therapy is relational, where we show the T what kind of partner we are and they show us what kind of effect we have on them. Although I understand you feel rejected, is this really an accurate interpretation of what this interaction really was?

I'm not sure that desiring to share your inner world through a song is very interactional, though. It seems kind of imposing something on someone without being willing to hear his feelings about it. There are times and places for sharing one's inner world, but the recipient ought to have a voice in it. Expecting someone to receive information without being a part of understanding the meaning of it and how it will go seems unfair and one-sided, almost like he doesn't matter in the transaction.
