The music in my head...

[David Evans]

Okay, so I'm crossing a few subjects together here....

Am I the only person that hears music playing in my head when I dive?

Specifically:

When I dive the wreck of the HMCS Columbia, I hear Hendrix "All along the watchtower". I have no idea why. I just do. Over and over again.

The song "Going Under" by Evanescence is my new cave diving theme song... I doubt that I will be able to dive in a cave for a long time without hearing that song... again, I dunno why. It's actually a little frightening to think about the lyrics of that song in a cave diving context, but oh well.

When I am wall diving, I hear Bach (a wide variety). Sometimes Debussy. But always classical when wall diving.

And when diving at about 130 feet on Great White Wall in Fiji (on air), I heard the Blue Planet theme... but that could very well be narcosis...

Anyone else hear music when you dive? What tunes go through your head?

Actualy I sing yellow submarine when I dive. I get some stange looks now and then but it helps control my bearthing and Yellow submarine seems to be the right song. Some times I'll sing "will you still need me when I'm 64" by the Beatles.

Glad I am not alone hearing songs underwater. For me tho, it is the song that is playing in my head previously to diving. On Friday afternoons, one of the radion stations that I listen to plays Joan Osbornes "What if God Was One of Us." For some reason unknown to me, that song gets stuck in my head and that is all I can hear.
Dang, I am off diving shortly, guess what song I will hear?

You are definitely not the only one. I frequently hear music while I dive.

I too sing a bit, though I'm rarely aware that I'm doing it. Watched my dive buddy have a mini-seizure during a dive. I didn't see the smile until he lost his regulator laughing. It seems my crummy, aquatic rendition of our national anthem struck a chord with him. I didn't know that I'd been singing or that that was what prompted the laughing fit until we surfaced.

'Amazing Grace' seems to come to mind..

No, you are not.

But its not only when I dive. Its all the time. Drive, doze, dinner - just all the time. Being a musician, and always playing with different artists doesn't help... I'm having to constantly learn new stuff - so something is just always there.

When I first got married, it was creepy for my wife. I would be driving, and humming or tapping. Laying in bed, tapping and humming... all the time.

My diving time is especially susceptible to music intrusions, because its so mellow, and so quiet, and I'm usually pretty focused.

Specific tunes to specific places? Naw.. .not really. But there is always a tune on the brain.

I've been in the studio recording all week. The songs go around all day, all night in my dreams and when I turn over, and all during last nights dive. Even right now. Fortunately, I am a church worship leader and they are songs that bring me great joy.

During my first "Night Dive" the theme from "Jaws" kept playing Over... and Over... and Over, in my head! (Does that count?) :11:

I always have something calm and etherial running through my head, I am not sure what it is, perhaps it's my own composition? It's rather like De Bussy's La Mer, appropriately.

I have heard of dive ops (I think it was in Bimini, but I forget) who sink speakers when they have divers on snuba down, and play music. I would friggin hate that.
