I also have a song playing in my head most of the time (even while reading but not writing , like you). I’m a hobbyist musician; maybe that’s part of it.
But I also have an inner voice . I think the music stops when the voice starts, not sure.
For the last week I’ve had “right down the line” by Gerry Raferty (70s pop song) playing.

- te0006 5y agoThis repetetive inner soundtrack thimg can be really annoying sometimes, hampering or even killing concentration on "real thoughts". Any pro tips on how to turn that off? Best approach I found is bulldozing it over with a really powerful but not too beautiful/memorable song. The famous "rickrolling" piece seems to work OK for this. (I.e. not by actually hearing it, just by intentionally "playing it internally".)
