Usually it's mine, or a variant of mine (the inner voice, which is always talking--it's saying the words I'm typring right now, for instance--has lots of different accents and pitches).
Does that happen even when, say, you're reading the signs on a highway?
With music, you have to distance yourself from the medium of transmission to talk about it, whereas when talking about text, you're using the same medium.
Lots of theorists argue this -- especially Schenkerians, since one of the biggest selling points of Schenkerian analysis is that the result is still some kind of music. I think the salient opposition isn't mode of input vs. mode of output, but... mode of input vs. the mode your brain is written in? I think primarily in words, and music gets translated into words when I listen to it -- so putting a final product in words isn't a big deal for me, although I can see how it could be for someone whose brain was 'written' in music?
