"November Never Comes (In Peace)"

[artokh74]

This one appeared just in time to enter an autumn song competition on Finnish music site Mikseri.net.
Some pretty cool and funky guitar riffs here. The lyrics the same old usual thing from me. More fiction this time around though, fortunately

I used to love the cold late autumn air
and the way the wind feels in your hair
We'd take long walks in the park
among the yellow leaves
but now November never comes in peace

When I was with you I was a king
I was so proud that you would wear my ring
A vault of happy memories
like the month we spent in Greece
but November, now it never comes in peace

One late November noon we did wake up
You seemed aloof and distant somewhat
The next night at your sisters
you slit your wrists
November never comes in peace

Now I walk on this old graveyard at slow pace
It's raining dead leaves upon my face
My intentions may not be too good
but I know the pain must cease
it's November, and it never comes in peace

This lonesome death valley
is where my baby lies now
One November morn we'd wake up
The next one she did not

This lonesome death valley
is where my baby lies now
One November morn we'd wake up
The next one she did not 

I still often think of her in the dead of night
wondering if I could have helped her fight
It's a  worn autumn memento
a nightmare that never leaves
and November never comes in peace

Thanks Geir!

Oh and here's a video again. My 9-year old daughter filmed most of it
The whole thing took one full working day to film AND edit so it's rather rough as usual
but hey, we're just having fun with all this...

That is a beauty of a riff or should I say riffage  throughly enjoyed...

[ODH]

Top class.  What I love is that the backer is a proper rocker, yet the vocal is understated and delicate.  And yes the riffage is excellent throughout. 

Enjoyed the video too.  I have no idea how to go about making a video, so hat's off to you and your daughter.
