Earworms...

mousmeI've had a few songs on loop in my head today, in no particular order. It's like a mini playlist set on "random." ;)
One is "Julia" from the Random Colour set. Also, I no longer hear the Horrorpops version when it gets stuck in my head. It's always our cover. :)
Another is "Break on Through to the Other Side" by The Doors. I blame L, who started talking about going to "the other side" when I was about to start my filing.
The third is a Christmas carol, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," which is one of my favourites, and always makes me want to go back to church when I hear it.
O come, Thou key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery...
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
I love Christmas carols. I love all religious forms of music, really. I seldom feel close to God except when I'm performing music. It has always seemed to me to be the best way for me to worship, to express my gratitude for creation, for existence, for life and the world. If I lose myself in the music, I guess I feel more open to the other planes of existence of which I'm not normally aware, more open to how awesome (in the original sense of the word) the power is that made everything I know possible.

Why are people annoyed by earworms?
