Music of the Night

Comment from Sally Law
Sweet and dear friend, you are not alone. I've suffered from this for a long time! I have jukebox head too because I have listened to music and been in chorus and choir the bulk of my life. Music begins and ends my day. I hear it all night in my head and sometimes in an audible way. One night when I was close to death, I heard angels singing over me and it was not my imagination. I was so much better the next day, I could sense the change in my health. I can honestly say, I haven't heard the Andrew Sister is in my head, but nothing's been ruled out. I'd rather have music than the incessant ringing though.
My personal observation as a self-ordained doctor. The ringing is worse when the sun goes down because our melatonin rises, and signals to the body it's time for sleep. It seems to lessen as I rise and shine and get on with my day. Just something I notice. I had it worse when I lived in the North, especially in the winter when daylight hours are shorter. Upstate New York is snowy and gloomy and I had flare ups all the time. Jack and I lived there for 8 years.
Thank you for being brave enough to share this. Beautifully written and presented as always, my friend.
Love and blessings always,

Thanks so much Sally for your comments about this poem. I do believe that we share a common occurrence of these. However my night music has to be only when it is very quiet or you conednt hear it.it is crystal clear. And is so precise and never hear it during the day. Especially since it seems to be from a speaker. There are so many forms of this and now that I know what and why, I no longer fear it and enjoy much of them now. That may also be true about the melatonin for me but it doesn't surprise me that we would have so many of the same thins, after all sisters are like that. Thanks Sweetie for your kind comments and insightful story z

Most welcome. I'm glad to hear that you're not fearful of it and can enjoy the music of the night. This is odd, I'll give you that! Love and blessings always,

Comment from Susan Newell
Debbie,
What a fascinating revelation. I hope you can at least enjoy the music. Hearing is a confusing sense. My father suffered from something similar after he became deaf. But he would hear voices, mostly conspiring against him, and it was impossible to convince him that he hadn't heard them. They were sort of auditory delusions or hallucinations. I'm not sure which is the proper term. I am glad you have come to terms with your experience.
Sue
Or is this satan's belligerent calls? -- Out of agreement. Suggest "are these" or alternatively "call" which would give you an exact rhyme.

Hi Sue, actually I just want to tell you first that I was editing more a little while ago, cause I am always still fixing on a poem for the first day after I post. So yes, I did not like that about satan, so I wrote, "oh how I yearn to be sleeping instead" "Anxiety causes sleep to stall." Then I changed from walls to wall, so it is an exact rhyme. But thank you, because I love feedback. And it is amazing how many similar kinds of this. Now that I know what it is, I am completely ok with it. It is the heart pounding, ringing, foghorns etc... that I hate. But that kind is more common and I think they would laugh me out of here if I wrote a serious poem about that. Lol... I truly wanted to save someone else from this kind of experience. And I believe that what your dad heard was as real to him as my music is to me. Crystal clear. And what I have is also called hallucination tinnitus. So they are all related. Thanks for such a kind review and comments. I love when we can all help each other to understand these things. I so appreciate it my sweet friend.

You are most welcome, Debi.
Comment from GWHARGIS
I feel your pain. I hear a tea kettle whistle. Talk about annoying. I look around to see if anyone else is searching for this phantom tea kettle. I did this for two years before I found out it was an actual thing. At least you had good music. Lol. Seriously, it is a strange phenomenon. There are medications but some work and some don't.

Thanks Gretchen. I do know how annoying the other sounds were, but I knew they what they were. The music made no sense to me, so we fear what we don't understand. Now I relax and try to enjoy the concert. Haha!
Thanks for the kind comments. And that tea kettle had to be irritating!
Comment from Sarah Lefort
Your poem was recommended to me by someone who read my poem on tinnitus. I am glad I did. I don't have the same tinnitus as yours and in a sense it is incredible to see the variety of this sound but at the same time whose impact felt is commonly shared. Your rhymes give beauty and texture to your work... like music... like your tinnitus. Well done and i'm sending you my support

Thanks Sarah, since writing this I am finding that there are so many related forms of it, like yours. For me and now that I have answers I no longer feel the anxiety that I went through the last couple years. It almost felt satanic because I just couldn't think of a logical explanation why this crystal clear music seemed to be coming out of the wall right above my head. Now I actually welcome and embrace it, so just wanted to save anyone else from the horror of the unknown. What a wasted two years just because I feared being laughed at or whatever I would hear from others. Lol, all is well with the world now. At least in my little circle of it. I am glad that Helen contacted you and it is so nice to meet you. Thanks my friend for the very kind comments and review. Best of luck with your episodes of this. I will have to take a look at some of your work. Helen also told me that you had written about yours as well. Thanks again!

I really enjoyed this poem your words flow so smoothly. I love the picture that they paint. My husband has tinnitis but I can't imagine what it is like.
I absolutely love the Andrew sisters and "The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company B".

Thank you Moonbeams. Tinnitus is more common but I guess the musical form is less common. Now that I know that I am not going crazy, I no longer fear it. And I take comfort in knowing that if anyone else who sees this, has the same thing, they may not live with the fear that I did. Thank you my sweet friend for your kind comments for my poem. You are so very kind!
Comment from John Ciarmello
I have heard of the intense ringing in the ears, but never of the music tinnitus. I suppose it is all a challenge, but if I were to have any of it i'd have to embrace the music. I'm sorry to hear you have this, Debi! Best, JohnC

John, all is well now that I know what it is. I really worried because it was every night, no request option, lol, so I had to hear what was playing. And it was crystal clear so it was spooky as long as I never shared it w anyone, The last thing I ever expected was that it was related to tinnitus. However they do think that most people w tinnitus don't have the musical one. I even thought it could be satanic because for the life of me, why was it happening? So now that I know, I thought I best share in case I could help someone else.
Thanks for the awesome comments my dear friend, as I truly appreciate them.

Beautiful poem about music and how it makes you feel. I can relate to that. Sometimes certain songs make me cry and other times makes me happy.
Well done!

Comment from Wendy G
Thank you for sharing this excellent and well-written poem. I guess if it must be tinnitus then the best form to have would be the musical sort - a concert every night! My husband suffers from tinnitus, but just thhe ordinary high-pitched ringing. I liked your Notes, and I am glad you refuse to honour the evil one with the respect of a capital letter! Well done.

I think it's great that you shared. It would be very unsettling, but now at least you are assured that it's not satanic, and you are not going crazy. You must be musical though, or have a musical background?
-
I do love music, but mostly Christian. And I do love that song, 'on the Mood,' but would have never thought I would be serenaded all night long w it. Lol
Comment from lyenochka
I'm so glad that you shared this! Other people do have this either from "musical tinnitus" as your doctor explained or if there is some white noise, it could be auditory pareidolia. But I'm glad you can be at peace about it. And the songs you heard are totally fine - not something spiritually harmful that the evil one would use.
Great job sharing about this in your abab rhyming poem! I hope you'll find others who experienced the same!
Best wishes in the contest!

Yes Helen, and if it weren't for you, I might have been still dragging my feet on sharing it. The only reason that I worried about it being satanic is because it was so strange of an occurrence, with absolutely no reasoning behind it, that if it wasn't mental illness, then what would cause crystal clear music to sound like it was coming from the walls? Y'know? So I am glad I finally told Glen and all is well now. And I can relax and enjoy my concerts w ease. Lol!
Thanks be to God for leading me to read your post that night, that got me going w this. And thank you for writing about the other sounds. I know exactly how those are too. I hear that stuff too, but these will only happen when it is completely silent. Thanks again lovely lady for such a wonderful review and and comments. Love ya lots! Debi

I'm glad to know the difference and I sent your post to Liz (Elizabeth Emerald) who used to be more active last year. She experienced that same thing. Hugs!

Oh that is great Helen! That was my complete purpose of doing this. Even if she knows what it is, it is still nice to know of someone else is going thru it. Thanks!

Comment from R.B.Bunn
This was an interesting poem. I thought it was a metaphor for insomnia at first, though I guess musical tinnitus could lead to it. I loved the flow and bounce this piece had.
