This post is part of an ongoing series in which I document the songs which are in my head immediately upon waking.
I don't know if this is something that is common with everyone or not, but I seemingly wake up with a song already in my head every single morning.
There is often no reason why it should be there. I hadn't heard it in the previous day, hadn't discussed it, nothing.
Do you wake up with songs in your head on a regular basis? What song was in your head this morning? Comment below, I'd love to hear from you!
What song was it today?
It's not terribly surprising that I woke up with a Bright Eyes song in my head today. News surfaced last week that the band was getting back together, touring, and working on new music. When I learned this, it compelled me to add some of the albums to my Apple Music library and revisit them.
Recently, I'd been enjoying a newer project with Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers called Better Oblivion Community Center. That band name is nearly as wordy as an opening track on a Bright Eyes album! A few years ago, I saw Conor's band Desaparecidos play a show and thoroughly enjoyed that. I hadn't really thought about or listened to Bright Eyes in quite some time, though.
This song, Make War, starts off slow, but I think it gets pretty catchy a little later on. When the album it's on came out, it was one of my favorite albums of that year. I guess I was definitely into sad-sack folk music at the time or something.
