the madness in the music

My day is sometimes steered by the music I wake up with in my head. That happens a lot by the way. Maybe I'm a touch OCD (of course I am).

Anyway last week it was a strange Gordon Lightfoot morning which went from "Rainy Day People" through "If you could read my mind" and on and on ( he had a lot of songs which I could actually remember - probably my age). So my day was a very mellow northernly canadianish kind of day.
AND... I heard 2 of his songs on XM radio in the car that day! Coincidence?

What is it that you wake up with in your head and why? I remember one time I dreamed about the greatest song I had ever composed and my kids were all playing instruments with me. It was out of this world fantastic and cool and when I woke up I could not remember a single note!!! aaggghh why does that happen?

So I'm posing the question, does the music make your mood or your mood choose the music you sing in your head? or could it be both?
