~ Music of the Night ~What is causing this music to play?
Every night, a different song I never hear it during the dayAm I crazy, or what could be wrong?The songs don't seem to be in my headIt's like speakers coming from the wallOh how I yearn to be sleeping insteadMy anxiety has caused sleep to stallWhen I wondered what people would thinkOf my two year nightly serenadesWould they suggest, I should see a shrink?Or laugh that I was dreaming of parades?So I kept this inside and didn't say a wordToo frightened to tell anyoneI think to myself, this is all so absurd Still awake in morning's rise of the sun
As much as I try, I don't understand
I can't keep this to myself anymore
.
Why would it play songs by Glen Miller's Band?
"In the Mood," from the Second World War
So you see, there's no rhyme or reason
Instrumental, Jazz or RockAnd it matters not, what the seasonPerhaps it's time, to go see my doc.......

Author Notes
I did go to see my doctor and she told me that it was normal and completely harmless.
That's because I deal with tinnitus, (ringing, pounding, crackling, paper rustling, heart beats etc...) which are definitely heard in my ears. The music I hear is a form of that but is called "Musical Tinnitus."
They don't even know how rare or common it is because so many are like me, and afraid to come forward, because they either fear people laughing or thinking they were crazy.
This is why I wrote this, in case there is anyone else that maybe going through these confusing, musical night terrors. Now that I understand what is happening, I welcome them. The night before telling my husband, there was a beautiful saxophone playing the old WWl tune of, "In the Mood." I don't understand why that one? But I don't get to get to pick them. Other things I hear are beautiful tunes being whistled.
I read about a woman who moved up north to get away from the noise of the large cities.
She now suffers with this, but she hears construction machinery all night long.
I guess I am thankful that mine is lovely music.
