Here is something I learned this week: I learned about “earworms.” When I listen to music, I often end up with music “stuck in my head” for periods of time, sometimes lasting over a day and often I wake up with it. This is mostly a good thing because it is usually songs I have listened to that I very much like. But it can be awful if it comes from some annoying commercial jingle or something, or from “music on hold.” I have always had music in my head a good bit of the time, but I never before knew there was a word for it.
Sometimes my brain even makes up the music. Sometimes I wish I knew how to transfer what is in my head onto sheet music or into some form where I could save it. And who knows, maybe someday I will learn how to do that. Anything is possible…
