I have this theory.

I have this theory that the songs I instantly fall in love with are the ones that most closely match my mind music -- my involuntary humming and natural, internal rhythm.

This weekend, I heard this song (during the opening credits of Keeping the Faith) and nearly lost my mind, I loved it so much.

Tom Waits - Please Call Me Baby
Tom Waits - Please Call Me Baby

It's one of those songs that I know I'll never tire of hearing. Within the first five seconds, it secured a position in the Roxy Hall of Musical Immortality. There are only a few songs that haunt me, forcing me to love them without ceasing -- this is now one of those songs.

Complex Simplicity
That's a nice analogy on the music, never thought of it that way

This is a GREAT song. Meanwhile, I just recently found out that a lot of people don't have mind music. I was shocked by this. There is most definitely music in my head, pretty much all the time,

I like your theory about the songs you seem to fall in love with. Thank you for sharing that. You may be very very correct.....it's like Yoga.....
