With a song in my..................head

Almost everyday I seem to find songs in conversations I have with other people and things around me. Possibly I’m a bit strange but I was brought up in a home where music was normal. My lovely Mum has a wonderful mezzo soprano voice. Mind you at home she would never sing properly with us and usually put on silly voices to sing nursery rhymes and ditties. She is also very good at playing the piano and organ although she doesn’t really think so. And even though she has Alzheimer’s disease she has lost none of her ability to play the piano or sing.

With Christmas only just over a week away naturally Christmas carols and songs play a large part of the music going on in my head. ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go’.

At other times it can be any thing at all and often it’s quite random but usually triggered by a phrase, a word in a conversation or something I see.

There’s family stuff like ‘Sister’s are doing it for themselves……’.

There’s just an hello ‘Hello, hello how are you today…..’.

‘You’re the voice…’ ‘Mama Mia…..’ ‘Here we go again…..’ ‘The wheels on the bus go round and round….’ 'Somewhere over the rainbow'.

The list just goes on and on.

So if I look a little distracted ‘Don’t worry be happy…’ it’s ‘Just the music in me’.
