    Wow l, i didnt know this was a thing. I’m the visual version of this - which i already know sucks less.

    I wonder whether you don’t get songs stuck in your head… like as a consolation prize at least?

      I’m almost the opposite. I can recall a song I know and “listen” to it in my head. However my dreams tend to be like comics. A static image with accompanying sounds or, on a couple of occasions, my dream was like listening to an audio book… This was before audio books were a thing.

      I get songs stuck in my head almost every day! Drives me crazy and keeps me awake. There’s no music, just the urge to say/sing the words
