I've been into an Imogen Heap song for the last four years, and I could listen to it over and over again still. The songs that play in my head rotate; usually it's the few songs I'm listening to obsessively at the moment (currently OneRepublic and Florence + The Machine....).
When my life settles down (i.e. not desperately working on X, and have more than £1 in the bank) I need to get a music player and buy some music. That should solve my problem. But without that I just hear the same ancient stuff constantly.
The music that's stuck in my head is usually from my Mormon upbringing. I have nothing against Mormonism in general, but the song I hear most is the hymn "Oh How Lovely Was the Morning" - a hymn about how Joseph Smith saw God. I wouldn't mind if it was well written or inspirational, but it's not a great song and it's all about what I think is the weakest and most problematic part of my former belief. I wish that song would go away! But it's been played so often in my head that the neural pathways must be an inch thick and incapable of shifting.
Why couldn't it at least be a good hymn?
