My mind is very close to me..in fact it is my best friend and companion and i do most of my understanding...thoughts or whateva in it..and it makes up for my introvertiveness and the lack of close friends. And funnily there is a jukebox in my mind too...for every thinking i do i play a song related to it...if im thinking abt injustice pavithranaya saaguna song plays..very interesting experience..

dont worry..even i have similar prob..or habit or whatever you may call it ..sometimes i dont even realise i am in a public place but i'll start singing any song that comes to my mind...but not too bad..people say i can sing well..so that helps in a way that i dont embarass myself..

its maybe because ur a music lover...i'm guessing from ur ID and avatar....

well sometimes if i listen to a song...it sticks to my mind and doesn't manage to get out of my head for like 2-3 days...at home i sign teh song out loud...and at skl i dnt pay attention to class and tht song just plays over and over agains...its soo weird...2day i was listening to ava ulaga alagiyae from lesa lesa....omg its stuck in my head, i cant get it out!

well that happens to you when u hear a nice song...
but for me, its happening all the time...

Ghilli,
It happens to me everyday and sometimes these are songs and tunes from languages that I do not understand (Tamil and Hindi). There are some speculative theories about the hold of music on us; see for example Robin Dunbar's "The Human Story". There is a more recent book " The singing Neanderthals; the origins of music, language, mind and body" by Steven Mithen. I have not read it yet but I read his earlier "The Prehistory of Mind" which was speculative but very interesting.

arr...the mind is a very complex and powerful entity on its own...the mind keeps whatever things we see or hear or interact with in its database till death. You may think you may have forgotten certain memories but it can be refreshed at times where there is a similar instance to that memory. As for songs playing in your mind...usually when a person is thinking of something or udnergoing some emotion during his thoughts..the mind tends to accompany it with a sort of music or in other words making that thought lively. Usually this depends on how interactive and musically inclined the person is....if the person relates to things with sound and not just visual then such songs playing in our mind is very likely to happen.

Emotions are also another form where the mind enlivens it with our memories of a song. When we are trying hard to describe a emotion or trying to visualise it...the mind supports it with playing a "song" very similar to the emotion or related to it and this results in you getting songs in your mind. This is not a unnatural phenomenon and is very common amongst humans....it just depends on how desriptive a human is in his/her thinking and emotions.
