Fuck man that sucks. Hum your melody into a voice recorder or something so you don't forget it. Even if your pitch is shit it should trigger your memory when you listen back to it.

I usually do that whenever I'm away from my computer; the song started forming as I was shitposting on another board and it got to the point where I needed to open Fl Studio to get into it.
Couldn't find the appropriate instrument, so I used a different one as a substitute until I found the right one and everything started to vanish.

I think I got the beat right, just not everything else.

I'll do this occasionally, just not all the time.
