I woke up with Kyoto in my head
I don’t mean the city. While I’m sure it’s lovely, I’ve never been. Then again, does one have to have been to a city to think about said city? Probably not. You knew that anyway. Songs are in my head when I wake up, not cities.
This is the third track (second song) on the newest Phoebe Bridgers album, Punisher. I’ll be honest and say that it’s taking me a while to get into this record compared to the last one. Sometimes, some music just doesn’t fit my current tastes, but that changes pretty frequently. Punisher is a bit mellower than what I feel like listening to lately. This song, perhaps obviously, is an exception. It’s fairly upbeat and catchy.
Many times, I will wake up with just a bar or two from a song stuck in my head on repeat. Such was the case today. It was the part about pay phones.
You called me from a payphone
They still got payphones
It cost a dollar a minute
That’s it, I suppose. I’m trying to compose this Wordpress post on my phone. We shall see if it works as far as pushing to Hive goes.
This post is part of an ongoing series in which I document the songs which are in my head immediately upon waking. I've been making them for a long time now.
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!

I gotta say ... I tried Kyoto... not a fan.. I like some of the other songs on your list tho
No worries, thanks for stopping by! FWIW, I don’t even like all the songs on my list. They just happened to be in my head when I woke up. 😆
The problem I have is sometimes its the same track for days!
I have that too, but not always right in the morning. I find myself humming the same songs for days or even weeks sometimes tho.
