In My Head’ was the second song released as a single from Queens of the Stone Age’s fourth album Lullabies to Paralyze, released in 2005. This was one of, if not the, first songs I ever learned to play on guitar. I was ten, got an acoustic for Christmas 2005 and I think my sister was in her Queens phase then. I believe that’s the only reason I may have heard this track in the first place. The guitar riff during the verses is spicy. Very melodic and very easy to play. It’s a great tune.

The track was originally released as ‘In My Head…or Something’ on Volume 10 of the Desert Sessions series in 2003. Assumedly, Josh Homme saw a lot of potential in it to make it a proper Queens number. There’s not much difference between it and the final album version, just a bit slower in tempo, but it’s all quality. It’s a love song. You know those ones where the narrator’s missing their significant other whilst on tour or something along those lines. That’s this. Quite psychedelic in places though very straight-forward – verse/chorus/verse/chorus/solo/bridge/chorus repeats/end. Can’t go wrong.
