As I awoke today, as I was shaving, I had this crazy song jump into my mind. It was sung long ago by a crazy group named "The Beatles." It was entitled, "Hey Jude." Now please don't try to psycho-analyze my inner brain, my hidden rationale to come up with that song. It was certainly a surprise to me. I often find myself humming or singing a song that has no reason to be in my mind. Now why that particular song, I have no idea. It really wasn't one of my favorite songs when it was popular many moons ago.
As I realize that I was having that song go through my mind, it angered me. Why does my mind take on a personality and decide what song to ring through my mind or echo through the halls of my thoughts? (Now you can psycho-analize why we do that, or is it just me that does that???) I decided since it was the Sabbath, I would choose the song to run through the chambers, the halls of my mind. So I chose, "Rejoice, the Lord is King." I have always loved that song. "Lift up your heart, life up your voice, rejoice...."
So as I finished my morning activities, I had that song running through my mind. I paused many times during the morning hours before our church started and took solace, strength in that hymn. I even felt to rejoice, rather than singing in my mind, "Hey Jude" which as no redeeming qualities. If I remember right, it kept repeating the same two words throughout the song. So, I started to repeat the word, "Rejoice" over and over in my mind in the morning.
It felt great, for often my mind just did it's thing while I was doing something else, but it had those familiar notes going through my mind. But it is interesting to me to find any of various songs, singers, authors, and tunes going through my mind without being invited, and I all of a sudden realize that I am "singing" those notes in my mind without realizing it.
Would someone explain that to me, for I don't understand it.
