Insane coincidence or ...? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mojo_PeiPei · 10-30-2003, 07:35 AM

So long story short. Every night before I went to bed I would put Metallica in my friends 3 change player (the information is related). It was put in the disc two slot with Tom Petty pulling up the rear. Anywho, everynight (I assume at least 3 of 4) I have woke up and the same song has been playing, Tom Petty learning to fly. Now I really didn't notice it until my friend told me the same thing with him. So yeah, I assume it is coincidence, I doubt there is anything horrible wrong amok, but still pretty creepy. I took the CD out after it happened this morning, so If I wake up tonight and it happens I am giving myself the 86 from this place.

I think you are conditioned to wake when that song comes on. You subconciously recognize that song and wake. Or......... things have gone terribly awry and tom is sending you some sort of message--- fly the hell out of there perhaps.

Jervis · 10-30-2003, 11:31 AM

I find that thing happening to me occasionally as well, I'll wake at exactly a certain time every morning or I'll wake up just before my alarm or wake up to one song on the radio only.

It's just conditioning, your subconscious identifies with that song or you are used to waking up to it so your body does.

Redlemon · 10-30-2003, 11:47 AM

Is it the first song on the album? Perhaps the sound of the CD mechanism switching from disc 1 to disc 2 is enough to wake you up.

Mojo_PeiPei · 10-30-2003, 02:46 PM

Is track 15, seems glitched because once the song starts playing it keeps looping itself.

Lasereth · 10-30-2003, 07:54 PM

If it loops, I'd wager that your body is conditioned to get up and fix the repeating song. That's my guess as to why it wakes you up. Very good music choices, by the way.

Yeah as it turns out the CD is scratched in a way that when that song comes on it skips so bad that it never moves on to the next song. So basically If I were to wake up at any point of the night it would be playing.

GakFace · 10-31-2003, 04:08 PM

heh, thats pretty funny

Sunrise · 11-01-2003, 02:23 AM

And there is your spooky answer

I would be pretty spooked if it happend to me though I guess, but ofcourse there was a logical answer

joesmith · 11-12-2003, 10:23 PM

heh - that works.

You wanna know what's weirder? I have my Tom Petty songs listed right after Metallica in Winamp, and when I opened this thread, winamp was switching from Metallica Until it Sleeps to Tom Petty Learning to Fly...

whoa this is wierd

geodaro · 12-08-2003, 10:18 AM

Check the other CD's in your player. You may have inadvertently placed Metallica CD covers on your recently pirated Tom Petty CD's. This can happen when using song pirating sorfware for too long. I once ended up with twenty-five Jack Benny CD's...and only twenty-two of them actually had Jack Benny songs. Go figure.
