Do you ever get a song stuck in your head that just won't leave? We all get songs stuck in our heads, but typically, I think they get stuck, you listen to it once or twice, get busy with other things and then forget about it. I assume other people do this too, but I tend to get something stuck in my head every single day. In fact, I often wake up with something stuck in my head, but it usually dissipates within a couple hours of waking up. But sometimes, I'll listen to a song, get it stuck in my head, and then it embeds itself in my head and refuses to leave.
Like I can just be sitting there, minding my own business, doing something completely unrelated to the song or even music in general, and then all the sudden, I will just have part of a song screaming at me. Sometimes literally, I might add. So I'll go and listen to it, trying to get it out. That doesn't work. Then repeat this cycle for MONTHS. I can guarantee you this has happened my whole life, so therefor, there's definitely more songs than what I can name that have done this to me. But, there's 3 in particular that I can think of, that have lasted a very long time. And by very long time, I mean more than a couple days. The three songs are, "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time" by Panic! At The Disco, "Bow Down" by I Prevail, and the most recent one, "Sleeping In"by All Time Low. Weird mix, I know. Now "Bow Down" is the longest running one, as that song came out just over a year ago now and I'm pretty sure its popped into my head at least once every single day since then. That only got worse after I saw I Prevail live in August 2019, but I think everyone on the Facebook page knows that by now. More than one person has grown to realize that's pretty much my favorite song just because of how often I've shared it. "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time", was a random one. I had heard it a time or two, and had the whole Death of A Bachelor album on my iPod. And I was actually in line to meet Shane Dawson at a Books A Million, when a friend asked if I had that song, because it was stuck in his head. I said yeah, and gave him an earbud. We listened to it, maybe two times? It wasn't excessive, and then for some reason it was severely stuck in my head. When I mentioned this on the Facebook page, I said it was only about four months it was stuck in my head, but that's absolutely false. I started thinking about it after I said it, and I am positive it was still stuck in my head near the end of that year. Still no idea why, either. Because as much as I like the song, its not meaningful, and its just random really. Have you seen that music video? If you haven't, highly recommend you do. It tells quite the story, you will be hooked on it just for the weirdness alone. "Bow Down", was a rather different. At first, I just found it catchy, plus I was so excited to have new music from I Prevail. But then it grew to feel very personal for me. So now its a mix of both, and yes it definitely is one of my favorite songs. Fun fact, I would say that and "Scars" by Papa Roach are my favorite songs. If you want to hear more thoughts on that, click here. I wrote a whole thing about songs that had impacted me over the last decade and talked about that a bit. Now as for "Sleeping In".....man, I don't even know what's up with that. Because frankly, out of all the songs All Time Low released prior to the release of their new album, Wake Up Sunshine, I initially said this was my least favorite. Just because its light hearted and fun, there's no meaning to it. But that being said, what I didn't talk about at all in my interview was this is one of the only songs on the album that has that truly classic All Time Low sound. This one felt like it easily could have been released right along Nothing Personal or Dirty Work, but its brand new. I think its because its just catchy fun that it keeps getting stuck in my head. All I know is the song has only been out for one month, and its been stuck in my head for three weeks. Which is how long I've been in quarantine, I might add. I still love the song, but the fact that I just have the first half or so of the chorus just playing on repeat in my head is getting old. Like imagine, you're almost asleep in bed, all nice and comfy with the fan on, and then all the sudden you hear Alex Gaskgarth screaming, "IF I SAID I WANTED YOUR BODY, WOULD YOU HOLD IT AGAINST ME? SEVEN IN THE MORNING, WANNA LISTEN TO BRITTNEY", in your head. Like I get it, go listen to Britney Spears and lay in bed, I'm trying to sleep! I say that with a laugh, by the way. I'm not even actually annoyed with this, just am questioning why its so deeply in my mind for absolutely no reason. I listened to it three times while writing this by the way, and its still stuck. We'll see if I still like the song by the time this quarantine crap is over, because if it stays at this rate, I'm going to over play it. That's not something I even experience often, but I could see it happening. Also side note, the singles for Wake Up Sunshine really brought my love of All Time Low back to the surface. I didn't like their last album, Last Young Renegade very much, so while I still enjoyed everything but that, and still listened once in a while, I didn't find myself loving them nearly to the extent I used to. Ever since, "Some Kind Of Disaster" came out, that love has come back. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I'm not complaining. Also, I know this was totally pointless and random, but I felt like writing, so I went with it. Its a way to interact, stave off my own boredom, and pass the time. So, with that being said, expect more random, thought dumps out of me because I very well might do it. And while we're at it, please feel free to tell me any songs that are stuck in your head right now. You can do so in the comments here or over on the Facebook page on the link to this post, or in a private message. I'm always here to talk if anyone wants to. I'll probably be back shortly, as I have a couple more ideas of random posts I wish to make, and still plan on doing a ton of reviews.
