I think I've posted this before - I have music in my head constantly. I wake up in the middle of the night with music in my head. Usually it's something I REALLY dislike or something I haven't heard or thought about for 60 years. Sunday school songs and Christmas carols I don't care for are examples. Then I can't get rid of them for days sometimes! But this morning I woke up with Steely Dan's FM in my head! YES! So, I had to pop up that album in my headphones...

Steely Dan is most welcome in my head, too. I have a few of their songs on my Spotify playlist.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I usually have my whale (ambient space) music playing in the background during the day ... and then when WOM is in the same location and humming a tune the next thing I know is I'll start playing that tune in my head too. Draclvr, I've never had music in my dreams ... especially tunes I don't care for ..."weird dreams!!" inhabit my brain most nights just before I wake up.

Soot, one night I was dreaming about an old negro spiritual song called "The Old Ark's A'Movering." This was a song that I sang acapella in a trio of 3 girls when I was a junior or senior in high school - which makes it a minimum of 60 years since I've even thought of it! We did sing it at the Iowa State Music Contest and got a #1 rating!
Where does this stuff COME from?!

I always have music in my head, but I could not sing worth a [blip] and I did not have the determination to practice and so progress beyond a pretty basic level of musical instrument playing! Most recently the song in my head was Sand and Water prompted by a quiz posted by Urban Worrier: such a wonderful and emotive song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHf7DtRa5TYBut at the other extreme I have also been exploring the Hellacopters prompted by mention of them in a Jo Nesbo Book, Sweden's answer to the Ramones, and been surprised to discover that Kevin Costner and Modern West are a pretty good band when I did not even realise he was a musician! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-g5eFf3hdc

That's a beautiful song. I have it on my Spotify playlist. Watching TV sometimes reminds us of things we've forgotten -- yet after decades, I remember the words. Something different, from my past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95SWMqzM_Sg

Wow ... that sounds like it was a blast! And from an educational perspective I imagine you learned quite a bit by "doing!"

Thanks connie, glad you like the selection. A couple more that were usually somewhere in the mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZJiGu6Gz8Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1FRrZD2y9Y I never had a fixed setlist: I relied on inspiration guided by my take on the mood of the room (not often wrong) and would take some requests while disdaining others!

Every now and then a song transcends genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW9Cu6GYqxo&t=4sI cannot believe how lovely her vocals on that song. Just gorgeous. EDIT: That sounds like Bruce Hornsby on keyboard.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and...Raitt. This one popped into my head today for no apparent reason and it's as lovely today as it was back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlwIDxCjL-8

That one's from Ten Summoner' Tales, which is one of my all-time favourite albums, now that I recall it!
