thank you for sharing this poem about the music you hear. I have never heard anyone else express it before, but living alone, I often think there is music or singing in the air. It is faint but definitely there. I never did know how to explain it, but figured it was just in the air waves. thank you for your explanation.

    Thanks Anne, maybe living alone can make it so you hear something during the day. But they say if you don't suffer from a severe tinnitus, then you probably don't have the music tinnitus and it is most likely caused from something else. The music I hear is loud enough that I used to worry that it may wake my husband up in the other room. Until I found out that only I can hear it. But what is so strange that some of the songs I have never heard before. Anyway, I am thankful tha5 it is not mental illness or dangerous, but I still can't believe that it is in my head because there are times I am sure someone is in the next room playing it. I guess I have a lot more to learn about how our brain works. Thanks for the lovely review and comments my dear friend!

Very nice piece of work! This flowed smoothly and had a logical ending.

As long as it isn't elevator music or gangster rap, I would probably be good with some phantom music.

Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you Douglas, I certainly appreciate your very kind response to my poem. Especially since there were some that didn't seem to get what it was I was writing about. In your review, I could tell that you not only read my poem, but you also read the author's notes. You are what reviewers should be. I am proud to call you my friend.

Hi Debi, I can perfectly understand you were worried about what was going on. At least you now know what it is. I hope you will able to sleep from it.
I really liked your poem, it was a joy to read. Ulla xx

Great poem with an excellent story. I don't have this problem,
but I will wake up and have a 40s song in my mind. Chattanooga Choo Choo for example. I had a dream once, that I was killed by the Germans in WWII, and I was reincarnated. Maybe that's why I like the music. Terry.

    Hahaha! Well Terry, I can certainly see why you were appreciative of that outcome. I am glad that you survived the battle. This was a pretty traumatic thing for me for the last couple years, only because these songs did not appear at all to be in my head. It was like a radio on at about the volume of a conversation. At times they even seemed to be coming from a different room, so I just couldn't figure it out. I was so puzzled that I even considered that my iPhone and ipad were picking up signals from way out there, but they weren't on the devices so that didn't make sense. Anyway, now that I know, I wish I hadn't waited so long to talk about it. Now I do embrace it, but there are nights that I would like to turn the station.... Thanks my dear friend for the kind comments and for your story. Wish you would have told me earlier about your dreams, cause I would have worried about you more than myself. Hahaha!

I didn't know there is such thing as tinnitus and you are really lucky with those lovely music ringing in your ears. The accompanying videos made the message clearer and added beauty to the poem. Thanks for sharing.

    I thank you so very much Nassus for the very kind review for this unusual nighttime occurrence. Yes, I'm so thankful that it was just a different form of tinnitus but one that doesn't appear to be in your head, so was a little frightening until I went to the doctor. I truly appreciate your lovely comments.

excellent poem about a condition that many people are not even aware of. I have occasionally had ringing in my ears and my dreams are filled with music.

And me out of 6 stars, for
this beautifully poetic and
fascinating poem actually
deserves far more, my dear
poetess friend. Musical
tinnitus, how unique. We have
singing angels here. They
have been here for close to
9 years. I feel so blessed.
They have started singing
the classic Christmas hymns.
They also sing, "Regina,
Regina, the Lord loves you
forever and ever." They are
a big comfort. Debi, your
tinnitus gives you music,
what a great gift. I will write
again soon, sweet poetess.
Many blessings to you.

    Joanne, you get more beautiful all the time. Is this a wedding picture? Stunning! Just as your personality is. You are so sweet and I appreciate your lovely review of my scary music until I found out that as much as I couldn't tell, it was indeed in my head and not coming from the walls. Very strange and wish I hadn't hid it from everyone for so long. Now I truly embrace the beautiful music I hear every night. Thank you so much for your gracious six stars my sweet friend. Like I said, you are beautiful inside and out!

That is an interesting malady, Debi. Thanks for including the Andrews Sisters' song. I haven't heard them in a long while. Nice big band in the background.

    Thanks Paul, I know it is bizarre but it really sounded like it was coming from the wall above my head. I never minded the music, but wondering where it was coming from was frightening. It didn't feel like it was coming from my head. So I really feared I was losing it. Lol! Thank you so much for very kind review and comments my dear friend! And that song was the last one I heard before I decided to confide in my husband, after two years!

    Thanks so much Jen. You are so sweet and now that I know where the music is coming from I feel great about it. It was kinda spooky tho when cause it sounded like it was coming from my walls. I know it almost sounds comical because it is so bizarre. Now I enjoy the music immensely.
    Thank you my sweet friend for your love comments. You are so sweet, as always!
