This is quite normal.

Eckhart Tolle said something along these lines in the power of Now :

"Sometimes someone would say to me: Yes but I am in control of my thoughts !

And then I would say: Oh Really ? In that case, stop thinking right now, prove it "


I think the same goes for music playing in your head.

If you can "switch it off" at any time, and keep it that way for as long as you want, then you are in control, and that is fine !
If you can't, then you are a slave to it instead of it being a slave to you.

Thought and or other phenomena like music playing in your mind are supposed to be tools to your aid, not to drive you crazy. Otherwise it becomes "the thinking disease" as Eckhart Tolle calls it.

I hope I am making sense to you guys
