can't wrap my head around..

I've been trying, without much success..to listen to music while writing; in the lowest of volume, the loungiest of music, and yet, it distracts to the point of compelling me to turn off any sound playing in the background.
It kills my concentration, and I can't seem to hear my own thoughts in my head..and it's not as though I were penning down sage thoughts of deep profundity requiring abstruse meditation; No!, I'm talking vacuous garble more akin Beiber's lyrics..and yet, if there's so much as a hint of anything playing in the background, I stay frozen, fingers on keyboard, eyes affixed on the screen, unable to think/type a word.

It baffles me, annoys me..I've seen people study for their exams with their headphones plugged into their ears for hours, and though admittedly my grades were far better than theirs, I've seen them study, solve equations, pen down essays and read books, all the while listening to music!
How?

The closest I come to this miraculous talent is listening to music/audiobooks while DRAWING! not reading or writing but drawing..something that doesn't need me to speak my thoughts aloud in my head. Something that only needs my hands to work on paper.

It baffles, nay, mystifies me..I mean, I tried listening to music while typing this very post, and five words into the first sentence I had to turn off the music, and wipe out each alphabet I wrote, because it felt like gibberish.
