[OsCKilO]

quiet menace.

Thats the term I was looking for...!

[Satchwood]

Ooo...  Sinister story song, i really dig this!!   Ha, cool and creative!   Amazing how great this sounds, and you didn't even need to add percussion....

Reminds me a bit of GnR's "I Used to Love Her, but i had to kill her"  :~)

[T.C. Elliott]

I hope it's not real!!!! Lol.

Okay. We'll go with that...   (j/k)

Every week you turn out another masterpiece and this is no exception. Sounds great but I would love to hear it with a full production on it. You have a great talent for lyrics and I have just read your "Tips for Songwriting" - they are a very welcome read with plenty of good advise. Thanks for posting.

This is the best song I have heard so far on this site.
It's wrong to say that this song needs any background information.
A good song is what it is, a good song.
A good song sparks the imagination and forces the listener to think.
A good song can tell a story while still retaining a certain ambiguity.
A good song is not an alibi, please tell us you didn't do it.

A good song is not an alibi, please tell us you didn't do it.

Of course I didn't do it! 

(Was that convincing enough?)

You even out-spooked Henwrench with this one.  You know how I hear this song, loud grungy electric guitars strumming the "campfire" chords, like the way Neil Young does it, to me that would really bring this bad boy to life, and one mother of a grungy electric solo.  Deep grunge and electric guitar sludge would sound really good here, and a very simple, driving bass line, hypnotic almost, just banging on the root note.  I guess I hear this done in Neil Young full on electric treatment, that would sound great to my mind.

[T.C. Elliott]

I'm a fan of Neil Young but until I started posting my original songs I had NO idea he was an influence. Now I hear it in a lot of places. That being said, I can totally hear that take on this song now that you mention it. Thanks for the comments everyone.

So cool...one of your best songs, reminds me of Masters of Reality...one of my favourite bands...killer lyrics, great chord progressions...loved it.
