I never don’t have a song playing in my head, day or night. Sometimes a song I love; sometimes a song I hate; mostly a song I can ignore, or that has a beat I can work with. Sometimes the music is so clear it’s like an auditory hallucination. Frequently two songs that have common or similar elements will tag team me, switching off with one another when the music gets to the part they share. Sometimes I’ll get stuck in a loop of the song and it will push my dreams around. If I hear a new song that’s too catchy to shake, I’ll have to look up the lyrics and learn to sing it so I can make it end.

These are today’s songs (for this morning, anyway).

“Plastic Jesus” Eddie Marrs
“Rocky Road to Dublin” The Pogues
