Pierre - your orangutang buddies literally don't know what they're missing. Perhaps they just haven't found the right music yet. Still there are definitely times when I'd rather hear the wind in the trees, frogs, crickets and cicadas (which sound like Summer to me), the ocean, birds and a raft of other pure natural sounds rather than human-man music. Thanks for relaying your memories. It sounds like a powerful one.

Maybe the most curious aspect of how our brains react to music is the way a tune or line worms its way into our brain so quickly and just keeps popping up at random moments. Your latest release with Daryl has been doing that to me Shell... your chorus keeps popping into my head, clear as a bell....
Chris - Sorry buddy. That's Life DEFINITELY became an Earworm while Daryl and I were working on it and afterward. I actually sent Daryl an email at one point because the chorus (and yes my choir) was looping in my hear something wicked. I had urgent, urgent work on that I really needed to focus on (required serious trouble shooting and creative solutions) and the Earworm just keep going round and round and round... Crazy making. Daryl laughed.

ratbag!
I find that sometimes you can shift an ear worm with a new song, especially if you're singing along. Perhaps the act of recalling new melodies and lyrics reboots the hard drive.
Thanks for the chanting. It's very hypnotic. Good for the soul indeed.
