Emotional Vampire

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Keith was in a "reflective mood " when he wrote this song.
I just added some keys, strings and percussion to it.

 


Emotional Vampire

Here's where you used to lay, fast asleep, safe and tight
A crease, is that all you left, in the space, on the right?

Move...you can move me
And move me far away

Roll like you used to roll, in your day. A hey-hey
You say, there's no useless words can take your place, never will

Move...you can move me
Move me far away
Here's where you lose me
You lose anyway...Lose anyway...lose...

Deep in your soul there's a hole for a heart
Deep in your soul there's a hole..............in you...

Dear God you leave me now without a hope in hell
Where I used to wander free, I never will again
I never will again
Never will...

Move...like you move me
Move far away
Here's where you lose me
You lose me anyway

Just amazing songwriting and performing! Great job with the lyrics and and arrangement ( stunning outro btw). Listening to this twice...it's so good!!!

[BerryPatch]

What a song guys! Perhaps one of your best ever. I love your additions to this great track, it's so full and dreamy sounding. The layers of acoustic parts are wonderful and so is the song. You guys should do more acoustic tracks!

A tune you can get lost in - Excellent!

[StephenM]

this is heartfelt and beautiful... lyrics, vocals and music... it reminds me of something the great Moody Blues could have come up with...
so that is about as good as it gets... !!!

bravo

really love the bass lines... I love the octave work and the in betweens...

Yes this is class, the production is just great.
Loving the vocal and the general ebb and flow of the track.

Great stuff  enjoyed it lots, John

[Ray Brookes]

Great song and great arranging/production. The layers of sound work so well and embellish the emotive content of the lyrics. Another brilliant track from you two.

This one got me from the get go....lovely song ...well produced and performed

[Zoltan]

Certainly one of your best songs and that's saying a lot. The way it plays and sounds makes it to sound like a bonafide 90's era hit that i never heard before.

It's retro in style, but there's a vibe / overall sound that makes me think of 90's era bands rather than anything from 60s.

A beauty of a sad song. Well done, gents.
