In Conclusion...

Thinking about it logically, I think the human mind (or my inferior equivalent) subconsciously tries to make sense of stuff where possible. That could be what my dreams are doing. Perhaps putting songs in there that are somehow relevant to my actual life.

However, I reckon there's an element of my conscious thinking (what there is of it) in linking those songs to events after I wake. Kind of like the way a horoscope can be related to loads of different people at the same time. You've just gotta think about it.

Thus, as with all my history essay type conclusions, I haven't arrived at a definite answer.

C+ (Could do better)

P.S. If any particular gold comes up, I'll stick it on here. Other than that, I'm outta here...

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

Perfect. Yet again. Extra perfect as I reckon this is the last one. Perhaps I'll write a conclusion, history essay style...

Too Many Dicks On The Dancefloor

Hilarious

New Sensation

Sleeping spread over 3 chairs sure is one

Hey Joe

Wikipedia comes to the rescue again. I only know the Jimi version

Live And Let Die

Ew

Harvester Of Sorrow

Sounds about right

86

I'd like to take this opportunity to say that oatmeal is rubbish.

Ghost Of The Navigator

Perhaps my favorite Maiden tune.

The Rock Show

The last two have been really loudly in my head. And this one accompanied a dream that wasn't so much weird as completely of the wall...

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Gnaaargh

Poison

Such a tune.

"I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison, you're poison running through my veins..."

Superunknown

First it steals your mind...

Brother

No words, which describes me pretty well right now...

Toxicity

So... little... sleep...

The Bad Touch

Bought to me by a rediscovered cassette tape

Slide

How did it take that long to get these chumps...

Sea Of Sorrow

Every Alice In Chains song I've woken up to has been from the same album...

Mr. Brownstone

I can't sleep!

We Care A Lot

Grosse Point Blank is to blame for this one I think.

Hello

It's been a bad week for morning brain music...

Blame It On The Boogie

I blame tragic.

Go To Work Wasted

"You gotta go to work high, if you're getting paid low..."

Photograph

Oh dear oh dear.

Gold

Oh dear.

Holy Roller

Nowt like waking up hungover on a couch an hour away from your house at 6:30 in the morning when cricket is to be played...

Star Wars Main Theme

Wow. I woke up thinking about all the problems with the new Star Trek movie, and hearing the Star Wars music at the same time. Things don't get much more nerdy...

Life Wasted

Hmmm...

Smoke On The Water

Fire in the sky...

Three Blind Mice

This accompanied another classic and totally bizarre dream.

Not entirely sure on the author/composer, I limit my research to Wikipedia...

Jambi

Damn my eyes...

Slither

Tune

Stacked Actors

Surprised it took this long. Great intro.

All Nightmare Long

This album is really growing on me.

The Riches

"I'm never lookin' over my shoulder again..."

The Final Countdown

One of the first things I learnt to play during music classes.

Been A Son

She should've been...

There's No Other Way

Fact.

Man In The Box

Had this in my head all through football too. Weirdly appropriate for a forward I suppose.

Touch Me I'm Sick

The first band I saw live.

Not A Test

I'm off for the weekend, back soon... Probably...

You've Got Another Thing Comin'

Blast from t' past and no mistake.

Make You Feel Better

Why thank you

Reise, Reise

"Wo Fisch und Fleisch zur See geflochten"

Show Me How To Live

Do.

United States Of Whatever

"Hey I thought I told you..."

Wild World

K...

"But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware"

Desperado

"Before it's too-ooooo... three, four!..."

Open Your Eyes

"How do they know, what's good for you?"

Coffee And TV

"So take me away from this big bad world, and agree to marry me, so we can start all over again."

Hate To Say I Told You So

All right.

Root Down

So how you gonna kick it?

It's A Hit

It is. And this went with a fine, fine dream.

Rock, Flag And Eagle

'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' is genius.

Yankee Doodle

In particular the line; "Put a feather in his cap and called it macaroni"

There's some interesting history behind this song.

"'Yankee Doodle' is a well-known British song the origin of which dates back to the Seven Years War. It has been widely adopted in the United States and is often sung patriotically today. It is the state anthem of Connecticut."

Thank you Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_Doodle

Somebody To Love

Grrr...

Epic

It really is

Don't Stop Me Now

Clearly a result of watching 'Shaun of the Dead'... again...

Dig

"Remind me that we'll always have each other, when everything else is gone"

The Man Who Sold The World

I'm surprised it took this long for Nirvana to rear their ugly heads.

Jane Says

I LOVE this song. But I don't have it. I used to listen to it on Pandora. GIVE ME PANDORA BACK!!!

A Heart Without A Home

Tune

Bone China

The start to my day was about as energetic as the start of this song...

Wasting My Hate

I'm listening to a lot of Metallica at the moment, and this was in my head for ages

I Wish

A song I was banned from singing, but it's back with a vengeance!

633 Squadron Theme

Weird...

The Evil That Men Do

Maiden again!

Hypersonic

"I'm flying hypersonic..."

The Wicker Man

Another REpeat...

"Your time will come..."

Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

Damn straight.

Rockin' In The Free World

One of the few songs in the world I can actually play on the guitar.

Vertigo Of Love

"You saw your reflection in a passing train, and I saw my reflection and it looked the same..."

Danse Macabre

Perhaps best known as the theme music for 'Jonathan Creek'.

Dude (Looks Like A Lady)

One of many songs which can be hilariously adapted for my name.

Mr Tambourine Man

This one is iTunes' fault. It kept coming up on random yesterday, over and over and over...

Mountain Town

The music in the South Park movie is hella good. This is the song from the very first scene. Gold.

More Or Less

A song that has bits that sound strangely like 'The Darkness', not so much in style but just a melody or two. Not that I wish to besmirch their name, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they stole stuff off of 'Screaming Trees'...

Blood

My first repeat!

Curse Of The Pharaohs

"Away out in Egypt in the valley of kings..."

Settle For Nothing

The uplifting theme continues... I was thinking of discontinuing this blog as it seems to be proving nothing, but then this title becomes even more appropriate...

The Grouch

More Green Day. "I don't have fun and I hate everything..."

Nessun Dorma

Maybe the prospect of playing football today bought this one to mind...

One Day These Legs Won't Dance

The first time I've had two blogs with the same title on the same day... But this inspired the other one.

Saviour

Another tune I haven't heard in yonks.

Voodoo Child

Awesome riff.

I Know Somethin' ('Bout You)

Great title, great song.

Helter Skelter

Beatles again? I'm not even a fan...

This Is The Place

I haven't heard this for ages...

The Klingon Theme

I have no idea if this is the ACTUAL title of this music. This is probably my nerdiest post to date.

Anger Rising

I wasn't feeling all that angry though...

I may have to catch up the weekend posts on Monday as our internet is down. You only got this one through the wonders of the library. I'll be back...

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Another cover!

The General

Starting listening to the old iPod, so some different stuff, like this may occur.

Blood On The Ground

I don't really have anything funny or relevent to say about this one.

Everything Zen

This is kinda cheating because it's my alarm clock and I pressed snooze 3 times...

Astronomy

Do I detect a space theme developing?

Zombie

This is absolutely perfect for how I feel today.

Jupiter

Doesn't get the coverage that Mars gets, but this is a fantastic piece of music too.

Sabotage

This is the last song I remember hearing before I fell asleep, so it makes a lot of sense. Unlike posts past.

O Sole Mio

Hoorah variety! For once not a Gimmes cover...

No One Knows

"Call me irresponsible, call me habitual..."

Green Day again!

Stairway To Heaven

It's a Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover again, but still great.

Longview

Bit of Green Day to start a relaxing Sunday, nice.

Carol Of The Bells

One of the better Christmas carols, but a Christmas carol in March nonetheless...

Bittersweet Symphony

You can have no idea how apt the title of this song was to accompany the dream I woke up from. Absolutely perfect.

One

This is another one of those 'playing guitar before bed' occurrences.

Rich Girl

Yikes.

Independence Day Theme

Quite why this was in the old noggin this morning I do not know, but it's a good tune. I think I have the composer correct.

Run To You

Aaaah, Bryan Adams. I once did this at karaoke, it was OK. Probably my favorite Bryan Adams song, although between this and Summer Of '69, it's a very close call.

Day Man

A hilarious song from one of the greatest TV shows in the world: 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'.

Original Prankster

Offspring, one of their more annoying songs. Having said that, I quite like it.

Shadow Of The Season

Oh sweet oblivion, feels alright...

Il Canto Degli Italiani

Yes! A national anthem! Superb tune, one of the best national anthems out there. Italy is well up there with Russia.

Flight Of The Bumblebee

Nice change of pace, and appropriately bizarre for the bizarre day I'm having.

Morning Glory

Oasis, a fine tune, although not my favorite band of all time by any stretch of the imagination.

How I Could Just Kill A Man

Cypress Hill! Thank God, something to add a bit of variety to the last few posts, I was beginning to look PJ obsessed. My 2nd favorite Cypress Hill tune, but it is a great one.

Anna Molly

Yet further indication that my pre-bed guitaring is having an influence. I can't really play this yet though, cos I'm not very good! My favorite Incubus song ever.

Glycerine

I think this was in my head because I was playing 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey on the guitar last night, and Glycerine has the same chords.

Stardog Champion

Well, it isn't Pearl Jam, but it's as close as you can possibly get to Pearl Jam without being them.

Mother Love Bone, an epic tune from an epic album.

25 Minutes To Go

Johnny Cash, but covered by Pearl Jam. I think they're featuring heavily recently because I'm listening to them far too much.

Blood

Pearl Jam are back and not in no acoustic version either...

"Spin me round, roll me over, fucking circus..."

The Wicker Man

Iron Maiden, and also a movie. The original was good, remake sucked.

Great tune too.

Creeping Death

Yeah, Metallica getting Biblical all over our asses!

"So let it be written, so let it be done, I'm sent here by the chosen one..."

Gold.

Hey Jude

The Beatles. Love the bit at the end.

Hornblower

This music's been in my head on and off for weeks previous. I think it's written by John E. Keane, but I don't know what it's called, Hornblower is the TV show. It's great music.

Glorious

Andreas Jonsson apparently. Had to look this one up to make sure. NO idea what that's doing in my head. Still, it is early...

The Throne Room

From the worst scene in 'Star Wars: A New Hope'. John Williams does fine work, but my brain is not making it easy for me to look cool recently.

I Believe In Miracles

The Ramones, not that Full Monty song. Thank God. Thus I regain a little respectability. Just a little.

Everywhere

Oh no. Just when I thought my brain was rebuilding it's respectability after the 'Raining on Prom Night' debacle, it goes and wakes me up with Michelle Branch. Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I Am The Highway

Audioslave, and this one's lingering longer than a post curry Renegade classic.

Fire

Jimi Hendrix, what a guy.

Suite In G Major

Yo-Yo Ma performing some Bach. Brilliant music and brilliantly played on the cello.

Think About You

Guns N Roses are in my brain and they ain't going anywhere!

Know Your Enemy

Rage! About time. Awesome song.

Fluorescent Adolescent

Arctic Monkeys. I don't even really like the Arctic Monkeys, nor do I know how this song goes, apart from the start. But there it was/still is, playing repetitively in my head.

It came in combination with a dream about fighting a guerilla war against robots with a completely useless idiot from school and a character from 'Band of Brothers' who then turned into a character from 'Hornblower'. Weird, weird, weird...

Raining On Prom Night

The embarrassment factor here is diminished by the fact that it was the Me First and the Gimme Gimme's version. But still, fairly embarrassing.

The Pot

To keep the happy theme going, a bit of early morning Tool.

How Soon Is Now

Ooo, The Smiths. That's not depressing in any way.

"So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die."

Strange thing is I'm in a good mood today...

Revelations/Japanese Boy

So sometimes I wake up with music in my head that I don't recognise. Maybe it's something I heard, maybe it's my brain trying to be creative without stupid thinking getting in the way.

But I think this is the first time my brain's mixed together two songs like this. Truly strange. Audioslave and Aneka, you don't know what you're missing.

Thank God It's Monday

NOFX. Ate first glance this doesn't make much logical sense, but the line that I was hearing when I woke up was, "I really never liked Fridays". Which makes a lot more sense.

Baba O'Riley

Didn't really sleep yesterday - hence no post.

But today it was The Who that roused me from my slumber. Teenage wasteland indeed.

Portions For Foxes

"There's blood in my mouth, cos I've been biting my tongue all week..." was the line in my head this morning.

It's a good song, perhaps Rilo Kiley's finest. I shall recharge the iPod so I can hear it today.

Sometimes

Overslept somewhat today and awoke with the gentle guitar intro of Pearl Jam's "Sometimes" in my head. And it was a live version if that means anything.
