Do you ALWAYS have a song playing in your mind, 24/7?

[Mr. Stevens]

Sometimes I get names or words that repeat in my head. For days, weeks, or months.

 

[Sablerose]

Yes an

It’s pretty common for me to make up a completely new tune, create lyrics that don’t make sense, and then it’s stuck for hours or days.

and thankfully the one in my head since yesterday is at least a fun one haha. . . old but fun, its called popcorn, its just music with no words but it makes me want to dance lol.

It’s not usually the same song but I find sometimes I can have a random song I haven’t heard in awhile stuck in my head

Moon River, Andy Williams (1961)

My Way, Frank Sinatra (1969)

Yes, right for all of them. The older and more relaxing the song, the more likely it will get into my head, keep staying there and keep returning there.

 

[Sablerose]

Wow what a nice list this is. . . Its all songs I like though I do like the Elvis My Way better personally. . . but thats just me

Although Elvis is actually my favorite guy singer, and loved his version much obviously, I have a soft spot for more relaxing song sound endings so that wins me over there for choosing Sinatra. Otherwise, would have Elvis' version mostly in my mind and then I could have sung his "Always on My Mind" in my mind as well.

Every time I see my own name midlifeiris I hear the song "Mid Life Krysis" by Travis. I often have some song or lyrics in my head.

I figured it out!!!!

There’s always a song playing. Non stop. And it usually sucks because it’s some crap from 30 years ago or yesterday, but I only remember a few words and those are the only bits of the song that I keep hearing.

Solution: I picked an album that is soothing. Anytime I have control over the music (like in my car on the way to work), I play it over and over. Nothing else. It took me about a week. I listened to the same 5 or 6 songs about 1000 times. Now, when the song plays in my head, it’s usually one from that album. And if it isn’t…., I can consciously change it. And I know ALL of the words. So no more broken record blasting in my head at 2am keeping me awake.

50 years of driving myself insane with music I don’t even like, repeating forever inside ny head. I finally figured out how to change the channel.
