Stuck in My Head
Stuck in My Head https://soundcloud.com/orygun/stuck-in-my-headThis was inspired by one of Jesse Screed's songs. I forgot the name of Jesse's song, but I believe it had a number in the title. :-) Memories are made of this. A memory is nothing more than a formation of neurons with a specific pattern to them, and they reside within a definite location in your brain. So all those really BAD memories in your head? Don't you wish you could just get in there among the offending neurons, zap 'em dead with a laser and never be bothered by those thoughts again? Yeah, me too. NI Sunburst AD drums Indiginus Renegade Thanks for listening Stuck in my Head Well, that woman she done me wrong Yeah, that woman she done me wrong so wrong Stuck in my head what she done to me Won't go away all the misery If she weren't in my head the pain would be gone I'd be happy again I could carry on Drinking away her memory Puts an end to the misery But in the morning it's back at my door The pain returns even more than before If she ain't in my head the pain would be gone I'd be happy again I could carry on Can I get a system restore Back to the way I was before Somebody hit that Reset key So she ain't there in my memory If she ain't in my head the pain would be gone I'd be happy again I could carry on Hey can i get some neuro surgery Poke inside my head in the circuitry Remove the misery, that's what I need Slice and dice away her memory If she ain't in my head it never took place I'd be back where I was with a smile on my face

Profound words as usual, and if you didn't have those memories where would this song be ... so it's not ALL bad. (BTW I see your using NI Sunburst, was it used on this song ... sounds so real !) Good work mate, BTW I love your lyrics Regards Steve

Nice one Bjorn. I like the way you write your lyrics and they tell the story well. As Steve says that guitar sounds very convincing.

Sounded great Bjorn. I like the solo guitar/synth that interweaved through the song. Love the lyrics. The vocals are very Dylanesque. Nice job!

Steve Thanks. I really like NI Sunburst and I find myself using it more and more. I don't play guitar very well so it's great to have all those virtual instruments out there. Like I've said before, I have a bit of an inferiority complex posting here among all the excellent guitar and keyboard players and singers. Only way for me to express my music is via technology. Yeah, I know I should practice, but I'm getting on in years and I'd rather spend the time making music vs endless playing of scales.
Adrian and Leadfoot Thanks. I appreciate your comments.

Completely agree Bjorn ... every piece of work posted here is an abstract train of thought no matter how it's presented, and I know how you feel about the talent here but what can you do ... so keep up the good work! All the best Steve

I like the laid back approach to most of your songs. It suits your nearly whispered vocals and somehow works for you. Every time I hear a song with this kind of lyrical content it reminds me of a great old country song by Webb Pierce called "There Stands the Glass". (This is David Ball singing it, and he's also a really good songwriter.) Bill

Bill and Beagle Thanks for listening. That laid back style is pretty much how I am all the time, the outside me anyway. There could be a plane crash next door and my response to that would likely sound as if I'm talking about the grocery list. I really do need an Emotion plug-in.

Welp it's cool as usual! But I would pop those vocals up louder. I'm straining to hear 'em, really . . . got any cool compressors like an LA-2A somethin' er other? Or that $29 CLA Vocal ? What are you using for compression on those? nifty tune, Bjorn. -Tom

I'm always reminded of Leonard Cohen when I hear your songs Bjorn - a good thing in my book. I would love to hear a simple bass riff in this one. Low end is a bit lacking.

Tom I used Izotope Nectar on the vocal track and tweaked one of the presets. It seemed like the vocal was too loud so I toned it down a bit. Maybe too much I guess.
Daryl Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I really like doing bass tracks so I'm not sure why I left it out of this one. Definitely needs it.

Other than a bass line, for me this song has a classic feel. Props for being able to successfully use "that women done me wrong" - it sounds right and doesn't come across at all cliche. I'd say your focus on the song rather than the technique is working.

Hi Bjorn Kind of remind me of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia's playing. Nicely done. Thanks

@Steve Thanks. "That woman done me wrong" just sounds better than "my sexual partner is not responsive to my needs." @Vicente Thanks. I appreciate the comments. @Jesse Jesse sez: I hope I get to meet you sometime I sez: You'll probably be disappointed.
