My strange ability!

[saurian]

Hey guys! So, yesterday I was in the gym. And this song was playing. It had a really "obvious" bassline, quite loud. I had never heard the song before in my life. I turned to my personal trainer and said, "you hear that bass?" and I mimicked it. I said, "when it changes, it'll do this..." and I mouthed out this 'next part' I had been hearing in my head. Sure enough, the bassline did change... And it did pretty much exactly what I thought it would! I've actually suddenly started doing this kind of thing recently. I was eating dinner, and I got this lovely chord section in my head. It was soft, and it kind of... Lingered Then I started hearing a drum beat and something that seemed like violins. Similar things have been happening all week, and I've been having things like this, albeit infrequently until now, for years. I don't know where this is coming from, and I'm not trying to show off, because I don't do that.

And I know Michael had a similar ability, much greater than mine though. I'm not trying to replicate him or whatever... I mean what I say. I keep hearing these things. Does anyone know why this is happening? Does anyone else have this? Is it bad?

Sounds like you just have a musical talent! Run with it...Nothing wrong with that!

I can sometimes predict the lines in a move or show, makes my family laugh.
There is more to the world than what we can see and hear
Enjoy ! Do you play music?

Blessed with talent! Also, being mentored by the big Michael, you would absorb many of his skills! What you feed, grows!
I can ‘see’ some music, so I understand what you mean!

I wouldn't say I'm talented. I would just say I've been given this gift and I should use it.

Thank you! Yes, I play instruments, write (in the way I described) and sing.

So you are an artist! I think all artists have to be able to feel something special!!! I wish I could play music.

I had never really thought much about it, but now that you mention it...
I can often harmonize with a song the first time I am hearing it, and so can my brother, who's a professional musician.
Yeah, I guess it's based on musical inclination plus familiarity with common patterns of composition, chord progression, stuff like that! We need to have a jam.

I am inclined to agree!

The mind is an amazing instrument. The more that is properly set in place, the greater its ability to create /make Links (connections). So, what seems as abstract /random connections (what occurs next) is founded in the minds ability to create Links. If one understands that Music is rarely a random collections of tones, but more a structured sentence, what comes next is in fact far less than random.

Music that is in fact abstract /random in its form has a very limited appeal as the Human Mind finds comfort in consistency, a flowing of thought (tones).

Enjoy the richness of your mind. It becomes even more enjoyable when you allow it to free flow to begin finding links in dissimilar concepts /segments and defining a "next" segment that flows, but is not what someone else has done.

Enjoy the depths of your Mind!

Pretty common trait among musicians. I can hear a chord change coming a mile away on most music. Allowed me to do a lot of side man work in my middle years without needing charts or sheet music.

I suspect the human brain is far from completely evolved. Latent musical talent may be the precursor to a more predictive thought process, eventually precognition or a more shared thinking abilities, ie ESP.

That is strange, and awesome!
Also I play bass guitar (the birds aren't too impressed though)

That's pretty cool! What kind of bass do you have?
