The song in my head...
Flashback to 1968 and I was going to high school by day and a musician in a garage band by night. I enjoyed school with the exception of a few subjects. Typically, it was lousy teachers for that. My older brother remembered many of the ones I got.Anyway, to pass the time I would 'rehearse virtually' long before personal computers and internet allowed us to do that.
In my head I could go through a 40 minute set, which was perfect as most of my classes lasted 40 minutes!
Since then, I cannot recall not having the ability to 'play' a song in my head.
Having blogged about people who cannot work without music playing, depending on what I'm doing... I could be the opposite. At work, I'm paid to do a job and need to focus.
The last thing I need is to have music (any music) as a distraction.
Maybe if I'm putting stock on shelves in a warehouse or painting can I get lost in music and not have it interfere with my job.
The one contradiction is the music in my head. If I'm driving in my car, listening to music and go into the house... there's a really good chance that last song I listened to is still playing in my virtual jukebox. If I have no distractions, I'll play the song in my head and it will be there when I wake up!
Currently, I'm 'listening' to Emerson Lake and Palmer The Endless Enigma. It started this weekend when I did a YouTube marathon on ELP.
Absolutely a great song... I could listen to it for days!

Rachel Flowers really shines on this composition.

Lots of phone calls and meetings and the song was still in my head.
I didn't listen to any other music this afternoon and Cher's song was playing in my head all afternoon.
After dinner, I took a nap and I'm up watching some news stories about the fate of those onboard the submersible Titan, lost at sea while scheduled to explore the Titanic wreckage.
It's more than 10 hours later and the song is still playing in my head.
