Music replays in your mind later on?
on: February 12, 2015, 01:37:01 AM
Anyone else notice this?

I listen to music during the day.  I'm probably listening to the same piece over and over and over the course of several days.  Add breaks and repeated listenings.

And then the music plays in mind later on its own.  I'm vaguely aware that's it's still playing once in a while.

I'll just tell them I'll pay it later and let you handle it.  Haha.

Yes.  I'm hearing Ravel's crescendo for some reason.  Something about that game where you mime something and someone has to guess what you're miming induced this piece.

Sometimes I have trouble sleeping because I can't get an infinite loop of music out of my head, and sometimes I can't recall the music after that segment of music, and it drives me insane! >:(

Someone's got worms... Ear worms.

I heard you're supposed to 'control' the piece and 'listen it' to the end, force it to finish.
