First music you heard awakening?

Anyone remember the first song they've heard once they had woken up?

mine was, Kelly Clarkson. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Very appropriate song! No, don`t remember, sorry, but was in a coma and my family played me music and talked to me. First song that got into my brain when i got home was Beautiful Day by U2. Its still there and will always be a special song.

Honest it was realised like the week I was in a coma so I heard it from the reception desk.. It's down on my solicitor records which he finds crazy but it clearly was a sign.. Obvi I quickly forgot it weakening up and eventually realised a fur months after

Aerosmith - Amazing

A lyric from the song is tattooed on my shoulder

My hearing was kaput for quite sometime after I came out of my coma and couldn't filter out sounds so it was just a great racket of noise entering my ears! I was played my fav music when in coma and my friends chatted to me but I have no recollection of that either. Have sensitivity to noise still so can only sometimes listen and volume has to be low.

My son drove me home the night I was discharged and he took me for a closer view of an unusual building, with beautiful artwork and a light which flashed on & off at night. I watched it each night from the window by my hospital bed and became strangely attached to it.

We sat for a while admiring it and he turned on his stereo. That was the first music I'd heard for almost two months ; Michael Jackson's 'You are not alone' filled the car, and it was a pretty magical moment.

The first song I heard after my TBI was nickelback - if today was your last day, think it was my nan telling me to live my life to the full because the first video I decided to watch about a week after I got discharged was a funny animal video on youtube but the video that actually came up was the nickelback song, bit spooky but I listen to it on a regular basis now, don't really remember the words to it though.

I used to listen to the radio all day when I worked freelance at home but after home and ABI = no music coz synaesthesia = mix-up between vision and sound. Can't remember if listened to any music,no idea now. All VERY hazy. TV was going too fast though and I couldn't understand/keep up.

SO out of touch (decade) with music and loads more = old dinosaur/isolated from society and my old life/the old me.

I used to love music. Tried to block out neighbour's building work banging (this time, many months ago didn't think to try and thought of even trying unbox stereo, put together and fear it too was broken = felt too much so only finally got it out now/this time = one thing NOT broken in moves! So this time tried different music and guess what won? (Just had to go look, forgot name) = Elgar. I'm not up to much with classical but now learning (at my age!). Tried Mahler too, bit too 'pretty' (so far) and hated with singing (like opera) but not heard whole CD yet.

I spent most of that month either in hospital or dozing on the sofa/bed since this was December it's possible and likely even to be A Christmas song.

Was a lovely Christmas though I don't remeber the detail but I remeber the emotion of being happy.

thats a good one pal!

if a positive song is on the radio i can relate to it and think its good to be alive

just to be a pedant, that line , what doesnt kill you makes you stronger is attributed to a guy called friedrich nietzche, but how could he have been the first person to have said that?!

heartfm was on at weekends being transferred to renal HDU . if we were feeling better the nurses used to dance at weekends, it was a great ward . coming home i used to stick heartfm on at weekends, but i dont remember any standout song.

most of kate bush's music is un-listenable but i remember listening to the album the ninth wave or the hounds of love(?) coming home. its a concept album about a shipwreck waiting to be rescued at sea , it struck home a little bit, and i did relate it a little bit to my experience i think.
