I realised, while in the shower this morning, that Eddy Grant’s Electric Avenue was playing in my head.

It’s not as disturbing as you might think. I believe we all have our own, personal soundtrack running in our heads. You might not be aware of what’s playing there, especially if you are in a noisy environment or have other music playing in the background. But in the early morning, when you are still half asleep, listen closely. I bet you hear a song in there.

The more you listen for your internal soundtrack, the more aware you’ll become of it. I had a roommate once who would, at the weirdest moments – like at two o’clock in the morning when I was just getting home from fixing an ex-girlfriend’s flat tire – ask me what song was in my head. Whether he knew it or not, he trained me to hear my internal soundtrack.

It’s like tracking your dreams: the more you try to remember your dreams, the better you’ll find you recall them.

So, in an effort to discover my internal soundtrack, I’ll be posting the songs that are playing in there whenever I can.

Today, Eddy Grant got my day off to an electric start. What’s playing in your head?
