-- Getting a fragment of a track stuck in your head...
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

I'm so glad Wizzy Noise-Sea Song got IDed because that melody was in my head for 8 months plus before someone got name of the track.

That piano loop and the spoken vocals at the beginning of DJ Shadow - Building Steam With A Grain of Salt will probably be stuck in my head for forever

happens often, should happen with good songs, if the hook it's very powerful i think it's more likely to happen at some point.

Some tracks that got stuck on my head were:

Talla 2XLC - Shine (Stoneface & Terminal Remix)
Dakota - Chinook

I got them on my head and i needed time to realise which songs were.

And the most notably song that has been playing on my head for a lot of years is The Mistery - Mistery , if a track can be on your head for more than 10 years... it's definitely a good track.

The melody was stuck in my head for weeks, so I tried to recreate it on guitar (the melody was a guitar anyways). I emailed him and he has no idea. Recently there was a track produced by Envio called "Love Poison" which resembled the melody, but the track I heard was a lot more proggy and middle eastern sounding, Mo Shic style. Probably the best track I've ever heard, and I'll never hear it again...live anyways.

Still haven't found this track and never will

Yea, happened today and I just remembered what track it was. Worse thing is, it's not even out yet and I was trying desperately to find it on beatport. I just had the vocal sample stuck in my head, which is basically just the word "free" repeated over and over.

It only happens with tracks I don't own

Beatport samples get stuck in my head ever-too often.

Tigerskin - Too Hot was in my head for months before summer due to the carefree summer vibe I get from it.

i shouldn't have looked at the ID sticky topic... now i have many tracks on my head that i have already listened but don't know his name

All the time. Right now for me I have the first breakdown from BT - Tripping The Light Fantastic stuck in my head.

Finding out what the song is and hearing the first part of the snippet makes you feel great though

It could just be luck but I've found that sooner or later you eventually hear the song again.

This happens to me all the time as well, but last week it got freaky. Keep in mind, I'm relatively new to EDM.

Last week, I was at work early in the morning and the vocals "My feelings for you, will always be free." I was humming it all day long, trying to figure out what the hell it was or where I heard it. I get home from work, get on Beatport quick quick to download some songs out of my crate before heading out again, and see Avicii - My Feelings for You on the top 10, so I click and preview it, and.. it blew my mind. This song was brand new, so how did I know the lyrics and the melody?

I left my house without doing any research, and it bothered me.. I had come to a conclusion that it was definitely a sample from an older song, but I had no idea where I heard it. I asked my EDM friends, and sure enough, one of my friends played the Cassius version for me nearly a year ago, she remembers. Since then, I've never heard the original or any of its remakes...

Yeah, it totally does.

Three years on, my brain has developed a new and even more fiendish version of this damned affliction. Now I get it so that a track I've never heard before on a TV advert or whatever will have a snatch of harmony or chord progression or hook that reminds of a track I do know but can't name. This one is twice as bad because you're trying to ID a sample while a totally different track is playing, and it's not even a reliable snippet you've got to work on, it's a vague resemblence.

Yeah, this happens to me, both with tracks I know and don't know.

The weirdest thing is, songs can work their way into your brain out of no where. I had a sixty five year old co-worker who used to randomly get the Addams Family theme stuck in his head and hum it sub-consciously. I've never had it that bad, but tracks I barely liked and haven't heard for three or four years randomly pop up at times.

this use to happen alot from time to time, usually in the shower or on the train etc but it works kinda different with me. i dont care what the track is called im more curious on how it is played so i try to picture the piano and then it comes clear to me how it really is, and then i usually find out which track it is also because i usually do the same when listening to a track i like, sort of memorize it visually. its cured by listening to more music all the time though.

I only get popular tracks like "Never gonna give you up" or "Telephone".

Yup tis true, although sometimes it never happens, look at the Oakenfold Essential Mix ID's.

It happens all the time, it was happening just as I clicked on this thread actually

I think that the more music you listen to the more often it happens. It never happens when there is music actually playing, only when it's not...so my theory your brain is in withdrawal of hearing good tunes and begins to scan your memory banks for tracks you have heard in the past to fill the void.

Thats because your brain can't focus on two different melodies at the same time. Did you ever try to hum the melody of a song while another track is actually playing? It's pretty difficult.

The closet I've come is creating my own mental mash up haha

i hear Doop - Doop in my head several times a day. it's VERY frustrating

even my tinnitus is starting to sound like it

It is so amazing, though, when the name finally hits you.

I've had some song stuck in my had for a while, and was just messing around mixing and somehow came upon the song. I didn't know until like 9 minutes in, but then wanted to have a party once I realized I was playing what had been stuck in my head.

thats when u should reach for the revolver

Haha, awesome. This happens to me so many times, ever since i started listening to Trance. It's mostly old tunes though. A few years ago I knew almost every track that came out (well you know, I'd like to think so at least ) but I'm not keeping up with it as much as I did. Man, golden times. Glad to have experienced that. The last melody that was stuck in my head was from DJ Vestiga - Night Operator, and for the life of me, I couldn't find out it was this track. Then a fellow Dutchie helped me out, after i made a quick melody remake in Reason.
