Have you ever had a Tune stuck in your brain?

December 3rd, 2013 · No Comments · how the brain works, music and the brain

Almost everybody that I talk to about music and the brain tells me that at some point in their life they have had a serious problem with a tune stuck in their brain.  You know what I’m talking about?  You hear an old favorite on the radio or something jogs your memory and suddenly you start playing this song over and over and over in your brain.  The problem is, even after you want it to stop, it won’t stop!  Now that is maddening!

Recently, I got a beautiful hymn from my childhood, stuck in my brain.  I grew up in the United Methodist Church in the Deep South, and loved this hymn.  The older I get, the more precious these hymns from my childhood become.  Here is a wonderful YouTube recording of this beautiful hymn.  Hopefully, it won’t turn into an “earworm” for you!
