What’s in your brain at night?

Do you wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to get back to sleep because of the music playing in your head? I don’t mean your worsening tinnitus from too many hours listening to Led Zepp or the noise from the neighbour’s party; I’m talking about the song in your head that won’t let you get back to sleep.

Here’s my admission – last night it was Daryl Hall and John Oates. “You’re a rich girl, and you’ve gone too far. ‘Cause you know it don’t matter anyway. You can rely on … ” well you get the point. The same chorus and first verse over and over again.

Couple of nights ago it was the guitar intro to The Wallflowers “Some Flowers Bloom Dead” followed by Jakob Dylan singing “We didn’t make it, We did not pull through. You shouldn’t blame me, I don’t blame you”.

The thing is, I don’t remember actually hearing these songs anywhere. They are not on my iPod Nano that I use when working out, and I doubt they were on NPR which is the only radio station tuned in the car. So where’d this all come from?

Calling Dr. Freud right now.
