“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.
