I do, every single morning it seems like. This morning it was RL Burnside - Rollin and Tumblin'. I just had to get in here and dial this one up. (I don't have it on CD????) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgsC1WlAzWE&feature=channel

What about you?

if I am working on a song to record, then most definitely. another time, and it sees very rare. I woke with an original song in my head. I quickly got it on tape and fleshed it out later.
it is easy to get an earworm, but that's different.

I've been working on sight-reading the bass clef. Woke up with the C major scale in my head. :roll:

You're workin' too hard

I have been known to wake up with a song in my head, but Her Indoors seems to do so most mornings

I usually go to sleep with a song in my head....every night, I try and visualise (should that be audiolise?) one of my own songs and go through it in my head. It's kind of an exercise....try and hear it in my head, like you'd try and remember a song you heard on the radio. But I'll try new solos, new basslines, change riffs around, etc....

As for waking up in the morning - yeah, most days I'll wake up whistling. Funny thing is, though, it'll never be a song that was on the radio or the TV yesterday - it'll always be an oldie. Usually the last song I actually played the night before.....

:D :D :D

Not quite the same, but i have dreamt of code or database schema to programtically determine the outcome of dream sequences. Waking up brain dead is the result. :roll:

Woke up this morning with "Young Girl" by Union Gap going through my head. Marilyn had got up before me and put the radio on!

:D :D :D

I wake up all the time with great music in my head! If I got up and played then instead of having to go to work, I'd be 100X better!

This is an interesting observation on the subject, from a few thousand years ago:

"But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night'"

(Job 35:10)

Nice youtube Roy, and comments guys! Thanks for leading me to Rollin' and Tumblin' by Johhny Winter and Cream too. :D

Actually, I'm one of those who has the song in the head going to sleep. Umm, never occurred to me to wake up with one? :wink:

This is similar subject matter in a song which I am writing at the moment. In the song, I am trying to capture how music seems to come to me during the night. (I am an insomniac) The line goes like this:

"...And midnight speaks to me in a voice that only I can understand. The conversation carries on forever..."
Name of the song is " I Am All the Time"

And yes, I do seem to wake up with a tune playing in my head every time.

I have songs in my head when I go to sleep all the time...it's annoying and I can't go to sleep....and whats even worse:

I get a lyric or melody stuck in my head of something that I would like to write...then I really can't go to sleep...and when I fall asleep, I can't remember the melody when I wake up.....that annoys the crap out of me!!

In Space, no one can hear me sing!
