Oh those twanging memories do tend to repeat again and again. I like the way you have written this poem- single words on a line have a great impact. Let's hope that the 'ghostly refrain' begins to fade (as the capchta says!) and the broken chords and missing strings can regenerate.

In the age of vinyl, on many records the needle/stylus arm didnt move off the record but rather entered a continuous track designed to prevent records being scratched and to stop the needle being damaged when the stylus came to the end of the music.
Thank you Uranus.

My actual guitar IS in exile (to my friends) since my next door neighbours became new parents I dont get the chance to play at home (the old walls are very thin lol)
I hate those songs too - the local DJ has made mention of such ditties - calling them 'ear-worms' lol.
I appreciate your words my friend.

I was drawn in by your well-crafted title & the poem didn't disappoint! Love the ongoing metaphor of broken musical ideas, well-stated. The final stanza works well to be like the nagging memories.
True. Memories can be that and more, perhaps too much to bear and sometimes just going way overboard... I guess the ghostly refrains repeating themselves depends on how much you really want to hear them...
Interesting captcha btw lol my captchas are always gibberish haha :P

It made me think - if 1% of our being wants to hear then will 1% of the echo be enough to distract the 99% that is positively engaged in not hearing them...
Yeah captcha gives me cr*p 9 times out of 10 so I only report the good ones lol. Selective hearing (1%) and selective reading at work!!
thank you for reviewing this one my friend.
