I can’t tell if it’s tinnitus or someone playing something outside. Or a hallucination.

Why do sounds come alive when the lights are off?

[heavenly666sblog]

Did anyone else when they were little used to be in big public spaces where there’d be ambient music and you’d just hear lyrics that weren’t there?

Like, I used to just be muttering the words and they half made sense. But said anyone else or was that me being an abnormal child?

Popular not-sounds the ether gives me while I'm in silence:

-My name in various familiar voices

-The sound of cardboard tubes hitting someone

-Teachers' voices saying "can you-" and the rest is just gone

-Echos of songs that play in yt ads

-Echos of normal songs / music / instruments

-High pitched SHEEEEE sound from electronics (not sure these are imagined)

-Random commands (ex open this jacket, hey wait, stay there, etc)

- Questions (did you get this play right, have you seen, can I make a new campsite)

- Kazoo

The funny thing is, if I try to focus on them and find them they shift the ear I hear them from and the longer I listen the easier it is to fall asleel

"Cécile McLorin Salvant has proven herself many times over as uber-exceptional," Julianne Escobedo Shepherd writes in Hearing Things, naming her new album a Must Hear. "Oh Snap is a musical revelation, not just because of Salvant’s vast talent but because she’s proving that some of the best art is the kind unrestricted by made-up boundaries, and that any great musician is a person first."
