I Hear Music, Music, Music
I'm curious to know if what happens to me happens to other people, but especially curious to know if it happens to non-musicians...
I wake up in the middle of the night hearing music, actually songs going through my head over and over and over again. Sometimes to the point of it keeping me from getting back to sleep. Sometimes it happens when we've been singing something a lot, like during VBS. But most of the time it's a song we've not sung for months, or something I haven't really sung at all. Such was the case last night (or really, this morning). The Psalm response we sang on Sunday is not one we do often. I actually only remember doing it one other time. I don't cantor it or sing verses on it. The verses sort of scare me because I don't know the song well enough. But this morning? The song, in it's entirety, with all lyrics, was running through my head. Non-stop. If you had asked me Sunday night after Mass to even hum the tune of the song I would not have been able to do it, but now, two days later, I can't get rid of it. Crazy! Does this ever happen to you???

It happens to me sometimes, I think it's the Holy Spirit, at work.
It happens to me all the time. I can't say it wakes me up. I'm used to it I guess. It does KEEP me up though. Before bed and all.
Then again, I'm not sure you want to be in the same mental boat as me ;)
It seems to happen most with songs I'm not sure of and need work on or that I'm trying to memorize, but it can happen with any song. For instance, on God of Wonders, I was feeling unsure about where I was supposed to come in on the Hallelujah part and then I dreamed about it the night before rehearsal and my brain had it all worked out by the time I woke up. So it's helpful. But not if it wakes you up or keeps you awake I guess...lol!
