Not op but have a similar “problem”. Straight up an earworm machine over here. But I can control it for the most part
Meditation is not my thing but if the song is getting annoying or too repetitive on a certain part I will intentionally try to distract myself. I certainly do have a monologue that reads, speaks, etc “out loud”.
It only takes until i at least know a portion of the song enough to be able to sing along that I can play the majority of it ( as long as I don’t get stuck in what I call a lyrical loop where one verse will tie back to an earlier one). It always sounds as is, with the band as well. Even if I don’t know the lyrics I can hear the mumblings of that part.
Sure, but this just replaces the music with the sound of my breathing. There’s always something in my brain. The only meditative peace I can get is in a flow state e.g. working out.
Yup, damn near always. Yak yak yak goes the brain.
Usually just vocals unless I focus on the music, or if it’s instrumental then I hear everything.
Music that I can play in my brain on demand is usually music I listen to all the time already, with some exceptions. Don’t have exact data on this, but it depends on context - if it’s my favorite band then it’ll stick around after 1 listen. If it’s someone else or music I dislike it may take several listens.
I play The Axe by which I mean a ukulele. Not particularly well IMO but it’s fun and relaxing.
I don’t think so, but I can identify most songs I’ve heard before pretty quickly if I know the band or song name. It’s like an involuntary Shazam.
I have so many questions.
Have you tried meditating to get a few minutes of quiet?
Do you “hear” your thoughts / have an international monologue?
How detailed are these songs? Do they have just vocals? Harmony? Drums? Bass?
How many times do you have to hear a song before it becomes 'playable"
Can you play an instrument?
Do you have perfect pitch or is everything relative?
