Symptom of the "Musical" kind?
Yup, I have the same problem. If someone mentions a word or a phrase that makes me think of a song, the channel changes to that song. It's contant. Most of the time, I am singing along with it

For two months I've had "Coldplay" songs running through my head. Good for enjoying nature; bad for work.
(unless I'm painting)OMG!!! I thought I was the only one with music playing constantly in my head. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I wake up with a song. I go to sleep with a song. If someone mentions a phrase or a word from a song I can link it to that particuar song. Sometimes I can whistle the song so perfectly and completely one person said it's like having a radio around. I do play and instrument and maybe that's why I can.

Cold Play is Great!
Wonder if you have any Guster?
Guster started as a local band in CO. saw them live in Boulder ( On The Hill.)
I think if you like Cold Play you would enjoy Guster.
I too have music, note for note, going through my brain most of the time.
By the way, Guster begs for their CD's to be copied.
Would be happy to send one.
Really? I'd like to hear their stuff! The thing I really like about Coldplay is that they kinda brought back a cross between Pink Floyd and Supertramp (lots of spacey keyboards and tasty guitar riffs) I'm an artist; and use music to inspire while I paint. So; the continual replay of the music in my head works as long as I'm painting; but when I'm studying or reading; I wish I had an "off" button.
Jack Johnson music sticks in my head alot too!

Is that your work? It is beautiful!
Not always, but now that I read this post I will. Oh; thank you! It's kinda strange; if I hadn't had problems with ADD; I don't know if I would have become an artist. It was always a "hobby" ; but the more I pulled away from society; the more I went deep into my own psyche. I found that if I could "create" my own world; then the "out of place" feelings would minimize. Besides; the world says artists are wierd; so that was right up my alley! gr8art,
Love the art work.
your art work is wonderful gr8art

i dont have music but i do have several previous or even future
conversations in there all the time, it may be better if it was music
at least you can listen without getting a headache from all the
yammering.
I do the same things (music plays in my head or a phrase will make me think of a song). I always thought it was because I am a musician! I have also noticed that when I want to concentrate I absolutely cannot be around any type of music because my mind will shift to that. Talking is okay but if a commercial jingle comes on I'm off track!
As to the ringing, I have a high-pitched ring in my ears that gets louder sometimes. It also enables me to be able to hear when I television is on without seeing the picture or hearing the volume. I used to could hear when neighbors in a mobile home park I grew up at would turn on their tvs! I have been diagnosed with Tinitus (I don't know if that is how it is spelled though)
OK, now you're just scaring me
Something will set me off and I'll run a song for days, even weeks. I'm into theatre and just did Oliver! with my daughters school. "Food, Glorious Food!" was stuck in my head for almost a month!!
(And it will be back now that I mentioned it.) I also run old conversations, rehearse upcoming conversations, but the most anoying is the buzzing. I have almost constant buzzing, not quite ringing, but more of a low buzzing. It's tone/volume fluctuates with my pulse. Now, I wonder if it's related???I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this!!! I get so into music, it's like it envelops me an I can hear all the insturments and follow their path, especially more complex insturmentals, if there's singing I'm usually singing along... Talk about hyperfocus, I was driving home from work and almost got into an accident as I was listening to one paticular part of Beethoven's 5th, the oboe (english horn?) solo. I get so wraped up in the emotion of the music...
I always have conversations running through my head too! Usually mine are past ones. And I ALWAYS seem to come up with something better to say hours after I have said it! 
Although I have found that while on medication the rehersal of conversations and constant music and day dreaming is dulled and even absent at times. Although I sometimes miss the constant symphony in my head, I find I can do better in school with out it!
OH! BTW, gr8art, that is a stunning landscape you created! Absolutely beautiful! You truly have a talent!
