Songs that play in your head when you have anxiety and are busy doing things

[Ele'ill]

10 hours of overdramatic global war world ending battle soundtrack with Sara Connor's voice narrating everything that I am doing and everything that I have to do

edit: I didn't catch the anxiety part. I usually don't get music in my head when I'm anxious.

I don't know if this counts, but I was going surfing with a friend a couple years ago, and on the way there, she had some burned CD in with a bunch of Phosphorescent stuff, and this:

...came on like two minutes before we pulled into the parking lot. So the entire time I was out on the water, I had it playing in my head. Ever since then, its had a tendency to pop into my mind whenever I'm doing anything that requires that kind of focus.

I don't think I ever get music in my head when I'm anxious, though. I just get that terrible internal narrator (the one I think Freud called 'the superego', who talks in your own voice but is a miserable asshole + a trillion times more cynical/bitter/sarcastic than your actual self, with none of your redeeming qualities) doing monologues like "See, this is why you're such a fuck-up" and "God, you're gonna be so late--what a shocker"

Drugs don't work. The Verve

That ain't a good place for me to be.

Strix, yours is missing. :(

Hey, impressed by all the epic soundtracks! I'm too impulsive to have anything more than fragments and fractals of songs.

Except, this one has been banging around in my head for a good two or three months after turning it up on the radio one night at 4 a.m., not having heard it since sometime in the 90's. can't shake the song - go to sleep and wake up to it. I guess subconsciously it highly appeals to my escapist tendencies, among other romanticized notions. It's got a great waltzing fiddle riff and railroad track symbolism -- I've walked hundreds of miles of tracks in my life. All in all, not a bad song to go insane by.

I dont have songs stuck when im bussy, but whenever I have insomnia bauds I can have a single line of a song on repeat like a stuck record for days. Once had a line of "the mercy seat" in the version of johny cash stuck on a loop for like a week. Thought I was going insane.
