I usually have a song stuck in my head when I wake up in the morning. It makes me wonder what the reason might be, but like with most things, I might be reading too much into it. Is it because of what I was dreaming about or something triggered by things going on in real life? Is it foreshadowing or reflective? Who knows.
This morning I had a line from “Bright Lights” by Matchbox Twenty stuck in my head. The following ran through my mind right before I jumped in the shower.
If the bright lights don’t receive you,
You should turn yourself around and come on home.
A bit emo of a song choice for Monday morning, but I always thought there was something comforting about Rob Thomas’ voice.
I’ve noticed lately that the radio has this weird ability to make you hate songs you used to love, and bop along with songs that used to make your skin crawl.
Exhibit A: “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz, and any Leona Lewis song
Exhibit B: Rihanna’s lyrics could have been written by a tween and T-Pain is the male equivalent of Janice from “Friends,” but their songs are so damn catchy. Subliminal musical crack?
