Title: The Cars Hiss By My Window

"A cold girl will kill you
In a darkened room"

The vocal is a cover of this Doors classic from LA Woman, the backer not so much.

In fact the backer was going to be worked into an original song about a city, for the other fest. It went a different direction.

Fans of paranoia and intensity should take a listen.

It's built around a picked acoustic guitar part, adding Alchemy synth and various GarageBand elements.

man this is mesmerizing to the max.

I got this on repeat.  I loved the panning of the keys... awesome effect there

the track hits heavy and keeps on slugging... this might appear mellow but it can scratch your eyes out.

LISTENERS BEWARE:

this could be in the Halloween Fest...

a massive tune Nick

I just listened to the original of this... and you (IMHO) rescued a very dead song.... I love your version... the Morrison factor not so much.

good to hear a different take on one of my doors blues songs, has a very film noir style to the music, could imagine it in something like sin city . has a much darker and lonely vibe to this version, nice work

Wow, a fantastic re-working of the original. After listening to your version a couple of times, I listened to the original, a song I've not heard before, and it has a completely different vibe. I love your guitar riff on this and the synths sound fantastic. Very cool vocal too. OHD 1 - The Doors 0

I'm familiar with the song title, but this is one of those Doors songs that i've always skipped.

ODH is a man of many surprises. Your turning into a quite a crooner. A real eerie trip of a song with dangerous/seductive vocals.

Never heard the original.
This vocally has tinges of lou Reed.
Very atmospheric.
Could be on a movie soundtrack.
Like that echo vibe on "a cold girl" line.
Nice one.
