I didn't upload the song, I got the ID from the track_from_id() example at: http://echonest.github.io/pyechonest/track.html.
I also tried with a number of ID's I got from the following query:
songs = song.search(style='rock',
max _tempo=150,
min _tempo=30,
results=100)
song _ids = [a _song.id for a _song in songs]
and got the same results.
