“Lostmyhead” Revisits The 2012 Song “Facedown” To Explore The Album’s Thread Of Matty Having “lost His Head” Seen In “The Ballad Of Me And My Brain ” “If I Believe You ” And Elsewhere . Even Though “Lostmyhead” Was Released Four Years Later According To A 2016 Interview This Is “the First 1975 Song Ever Written” “That Song Stemmed From A Side Project Drive Like I Do That I Made In My Bedroom. That Was One Of The Original Demos So A Lot Of That Stuff In That Song Was Recorded In My Bedroom In 2011. That Medicine Which I Then Rewrote It For The BBC Thing And The Sound Which I Wrote In 2011 As Well — I Wrote That Melody Five Years Ago And It Never Left Me.” That Pre-1975 Demo Has Surfaced On The Internet And More Closely Resembles “Lostmyhead” Than “Facedown ” Although It’s Much Shorter And Lacks The Soaring Post-Rock Influenced Guitars Of The Album Version.
