I usually don't hear any music in my head. I can watch a Wizard of Oz (dvd) or a Shrek (dvd) more than once and find that a part of a song from Oz or Shrek plays in my head often 18 hours later.

I used to hear music that wasn't even there when I was a kid. I played pokemon so damn much that the music would play without the gameboy even being on..

I think it's called Endomusia. It's somewhat related to the Tetris Effect. Where if you do something constitutively for a long period of time it will begin to occupy your subconscious. Like hearing music thats not there or seeing things that don't exist.

I recently started recording all the decent melodies stuck in my head, and they are starting to outnumber the amount I will be able to ever physically write down. I found that recording them is fun, but since I use my phone it is a bit of a hassle. I hear these really good sounding melodies all the time. Its like the greatest musician of all time and space is beaming them into my head randomly. Sometimes I wonder if it truly is an opinion though. When I listen to musicians even skilled ones, most seem to operate on this terrible frequency that doesn't sound good to me, and I hear these melodies all the time that sound like something I would buy. When I try to look up the melody I realize that it hasn't been written yet, so I vocalize it then turn it into something to play on guitar/piano.

I feel like most celebrities don't have access to this stream of music, because I can't hear the patterns in theirs that make it sound good. Also I can write like 500 songs/melodies in a day, and I hear people saying writing music is hard and that confuses me.

If I could just figure out how I'm tapping into this intangible endless stream of music I would love to divulge it, because I'm getting sick of turning on the radio only to find that the tune stuck in my head is better than whats being played.

P.S. does anyone find the band system of a down not having NOT A SINGLE bad song? They are the ONLY band I've listened to that I hear these simplistic yet perfect-sounding melodies. I rate all of their songs as 98's out of 100. I given no song a 100 yet, but there are a few 99's from other bands.

I hear poetry in my head with music in the background. I have always felt that the lyrics are more important than the music.
Music is important too but it is hard to pay attention to when the lyrics are brilliant. I find instrumental music very boring.

The funny thing is, right now I AM getting a real song in my head, It's the one that goes "And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain"

Thanks a-lot....Now it's stuck un MY head

Sometimes the music is do bad I have to take a sedative to sleep.

ugh, its the opposite for me. I cringe whenever i hear music driven by lyrics (like cristian rock or country music). I wont listen to music if it sounds terrible, if the lyrics arent put into a melody then i should just read the song instead of listen to it. I dont mind poetry, but i just dont understand it. I can write poetry, but it has no meaning to me. But the music seems to be blent in with my emotions.

My brain is like fly paper for music. Any song I hear will get stuck there until something stronger replaces it.
That's one of the things I like about heavy metal, it's like a musical sandblaster, it easily replaces any stuck song.
Sometimes even the mere mention of a song title will instantly bring that song up.

It one of the things I absolutely hate about the Christmas season, is the awful friggin music! I can't go into any store without some nauseating christmas jingle getting stuck in my head.

I'm not a musician though, my sense of time is so elastic that I can't keep any kind of a rhythm going. Also my motor skills are not very good. Not for guitar which is what I would want to play.

i play guitar but my motor skills are terrawful. If you can create music in your head thats all you really need to be a musician. I dont respect anyone who covers more than they write. Also it doesnt matter the instrument, if it truly sounds good then it will still sound like heaven (even on a bagpipe).

Of course, all the time.

I hear voices in my head, usually close to bedtime.

Please turn it down, the neighbors might complain. Just kidding of course, your neighbors keep tinfoil backed foam over their windows and can't hear a thing in there.

I hear music in my head CONSTANTLY and cannot get rid of it unless I hear other noises that override it. It makes it hard to sleep!!

I am happy about music playing in my head. It's a nice change. ^^

Right now it's one of the tracks from the "Less Than Zero" score.
