Following Sea’s “In My Head” is one of those songs that touches into one of those feelings that can be hard to shake, trying to move on but your mind keeps coming back to somebody you thought you'd left behind.
This song is about recollections of a summer fling that keep playing over again even after the fling is over. It’s a familiar emotional territory, especially for those who have experienced the odd gulf between knowing something is done and still feeling it. The primary emotion of the song is made particularly clear in the notion of lying awake at night, wondering where that person may be, longing for the possibility of just one more dance. It’s a really intimate emotional base for the tune, created by the nighttime backdrop, illustrating how memories can get louder when everything else goes quiet.
"In My Head" emotional concept is so simple that it’s its strength. Moving on seems easy unless the memories don’t want to cooperate. The song is a contemplative composition that knows how some moments can linger long after the relationship that gave them birth has evaporated.
