Sometimes songs or melodies get into a feedback loop in my mind too. I wonder if we are experiencing something similar? Sorry that your thoughts are loud if that is disturbing. I guess I have had "loud" thoughts too. Best to you.
Thanks so much for your reply @Yaowen
Thats so good youre able to step out of the stream sometimes! I think mindfulness is really good to quiet down my thoughts. That and yoga!

And I just hear my own voice in my head going along with the thoughts or what Im doing, I looked it up and it said online it was probably an internal monologue that a lot of people experience. I just wondered what others experiences were.

And yes, I experience the same thing, the songs play in a constant loop. It can be set off by the smallest of words that I immediately recognise as part of a song, then the part of the song I know just plays over and over, until the next one. Sometimes i find myself humming them or singing along.
