I screech and crowd,
But only you can hear.
I sometimes get so loud,
I fill up your whole ear.

That was pretty hard! I mean, I knew what it was, but I didn't!
I thought it was going to be earphones. Does the last line say "as long as you have power" because... if you are dead, then it obviously stops because you are no longer concious?
Actually thats incorrect. For one thing, being unconcious is not the same as being dead, and for another thin, just cause you died doesnt mean the music stopped..
Well written and I enjoyed it. Good Job on it.
