Music in your head

Barbara Cook, the original Marion the Librarian, dies this week, and I keep humming "Til there was you."

And Glen Campbell? "Gentle on my mind" and countless other songs keep running thru my head.

How about you?

I've been singing it off/on for three days now--I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy. I am not in love. With a wonderful guy or otherwise. I did just get a new turntable and I've been playing albums. South Pacific was on the top of the stack.

Usually some opera or classical music. Today it is an obscure aria from an opera called La Vestale. The Vestal Virgin. In the aria the high priestess is telling Giulia to reject love because it causes nothing but suffering and will lead one straight to hell. I think I need to listen to something more upbeat. Lol

Whatever song that I last heard! Right this moment it's an insurance commercial.

Wes has one; a mega 64-something, it-does-everything model. He downloads a lot of pod-casts on hunting dogs, training hunting dogs, fishing, and hunting, etc. He's also taking "Speak German" iPod lessons. He has all our photos and music in it. I got him a Bose docking station/speakers. It sounds awesome. He downloads the Prairie Home Companion pod cast each week and we listen to it in the den. I want one of my own. I would put my every-growing collection of audio books in it. I'd get a small docking station so I could carry it around the house and out to the garden as I do chores and "stuff." I listen to the audio books this way now, but I have to carry the bigger CD player and keep changing the discs. I don't like wearing ear buds. I want an iPod, or an iPad.

Music...What's Your Guilty Pleasure?
Q
Comments (41)
I have fairly eclectic taste in music, but as a general rule I find myself more drawn to music that works on more than one level, especially music in which you can hear the virtuosity of the performers. Either their skill on their respective instruments or in the voice of the vocalist, or in the poetic beauty of the lyrics. For my tastes much of the popular music spectrum fails at one or more of the above, and demonstrates instead the skill of the post-production crew in hiding the flaws of the performers who are often famous more for being pretty or sexy or dancing well. Furthermore if a piece of music requires me to listen carefully to the lyrics to enjoy it, or even to differentiate it from other works within its genre, I'd rather have silence. To this includes pretty much everything that would be called "hip-hop" or "heavy metal" as well as much of the new pop-country and the old country music.

Have your radio stations started Christmas music?
Q

We sing in a Christmas chorale and have to memorize all our music. That's pretty much all the Christmas music I can get into. We have a local radio station that starts playing non-stop Christmas music about a week before Thanksgiving. I refuse to listen to that station any longer. There's only so much Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas and Brenda Lee's Rockin Around the Christmas Tree I can stomach. I only listen to Sirius radio, my iTunes music or one local talk radio station. If there is a weather emergency and I happen to be in the car, I will tune into a local station for updates.

Organizing your photo, video, music files
Q

Richard, Mo - yeah, I need something like a meta-data tag that I can alter per file, quickly and easily. Then search and sort by tags, and various configurations of tags. It could/should be more complex than renaming a file, but simpler than Foobar's display capabilities. Maddie, I played with my search function and it's less than I want. For instance, I can search on "daffodil" and get lots of pics of yellow flowers. But I can't search on "yellow" or "yellow flower" or "flower yellow" -- I get a null result for those terms. I could make up an album scheme but then I'd have to drag/drop or click/paste each time I put a pic in an album. So if I had albums for yellow, flowers, landscapes, national parks, insects ... one picture of a daisy with a butterfly on it in the park overlook would go in five albums. [edited to add: still one picture file, not five picture files, but that's still more clicking than I want to do.] I'd rather have one big tag field that I could type those words into, and later search on them. Dedtired, what do you mean by keeping photos in categories? Is that the same, or different, than folders aka albums?

Recently it has been the 'do re mi' song from The Sound of Music. It has been running through my head for long periods daily.

I have Glen Campbell & Steve Wariner singing "Hand that Rocks The Cradle" running through my head since hearing it yesterday. robb333- a friend of mine who liked my brother in high school used to sing that song. She is still a good friend of mine even though my brother didn't return her feeling! :)

Without fail, any song running through my head is there because something in the lyrics relates to what I'm thinking about or are concerned about--subconsciously or otherwise. This morning it's Paul Simon's "Slip Sliding Away." I like Paul Simon, but this is not one of my favorite songs by him. I don't know why it's in my head, but I can probably figure it out. It might have something to do with my current fears about nuclear war.

Is this sort of thing known as an "ear worm"? I hear this phrase and always wonder what it means.

Yes it is a song stuck in your head.

I am hearing Taylor swift shake it off, I think that is the name.

Yesterday, my head was playing "All of Me" by John Legend. Today's mental hit seems to be "Reckless One" by Sunday Lane.

Sure. Yesterday I heard one line of Wayne Newton singing "Daddy don't you walk so fast" and it's been in my head ever since.

I still can't get "Bohemian Rhapsody" out of my head, although it's slowly being replaced by "We'll Meet Again" from "Dr. Strangelove".

It's definitely Glen Campbell week. I went to bed with "Rhinestone Cowboy" and woke up with it this morning.

For the past three days it's been "Love Potion Number 9". I really have no idea why as I've not heard it in decades. It's a catchy tune, but I'm sick of it lol

Lately it is most often a hymn that was featured in the latest church service.

The Doobie Brothers' China Grove has been rattling around in my brain for three days.

I had talked to an old Texan friend; then got to thinking about Texas and all the fun I had there, and the 1970s, and have just been on a nostalgic journey in my mind.

On Hold by XX. They were on SNL a few weeks ago and that song has been in my head ever since.
