Brilliant story!! I think you're gifted. I hear music a lot in my head but I know it's the songs I've been listening to. That sounds really cool.
Thanks
I hear music frequently in my head also. Usually when that happens spontaneously (Ie. when I have not been listening to music) it's because the particular song is telling me something in an intuitive way, similar to the way dreams can be interpreted. The song will just start playing in my head over and over insistently. If I think about the lyrics and any other associations I have with the song, it will be a message about someone or something in my life and the message is always accurate.
For example, last year, for months I started to hear the song "Renegade" by Styx. Just out of nowhere the tune started up in my head, very insistently. Here are the lyrics:
Renegade Lyrics- Artist: Styx
Oh momma I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh momma I can hear you a'crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very
long
The jig is up the news is out they've finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man
Oh momma I've been years on the lam
And had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear momma I can hear you a'crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man
Oh Momma, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is coming down from the gallows And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man
the wanted man
and i don't wanna go,
oh no
dont let 'em take me
no no
OK now this one was weird and this is before I realized the meaning of why I spontaneously get random songs stuck in my head. When it happened with the "Renegade" song, it was only the tune, the exact tune over and over. I recognized it but did
not know what song it was at first and I also didn't hear the lyrics in my head. It started bugging me, because it would not stop. So, I hummed the tune to someone I knew and he immediately told me what song it was and who did it. I'm not a Styx fan at all, but because of my age, once he mentioned it was Styx, I immediately recognized it. I looked up the lyrics to get them exact and I got a cold chill up my spine.
The short version of this story is that I
didn't listen to my intuition at the time. This song was sending me a very clear insistent message about a guy I was in a relationship with at the time, who turned out to be highly abusive and ended up physically assaulting me. He also had a bad past. I eventually left him when that happened, but not until after going thru pure hell. If I'd listened to that song that played over and over for
months when I was with him, I would have saved myself a lot of pain.
The music I hear from vents is different, though. It's an external thing. I read recently that what I'm experiencing is an auditory hallucination and what I am doing is spontaneously "filling in the blanks" of other sounds and turning them into something else. I'm not sure about that theory.
