Here is a song that I took an old 17th century poem and put it to music.
It is about a Girl who dies, and her lover cries out for help, and magically she
seems to be better. Well, she got possessed by a demon and she 'lived' that
way for like 2 years without her lover knowing. But, as they attempt to get married,
....Well, just listen to the song..... You got the idea.

At one point, I'm not sure why, but this song reminded me of "Dead Can Dance"
They tend to tell stories like this in their hypnotic songs.

Your on a roll Ig, another great tune, those vox really tell the story, only thing I would change is the drums, would try another drum kit and add a few fills to break it up, apart from that this is a winner.

I like the melody and guitars. I agree that the drums could be made more interesting, and possibly mixed a bit lower. But I also think that this song would greatly benefit with an additional melody section. I'm not sure how/where to do it, but the same melody repeated along with the drums not changing up made it seem a bit repetitive.
I love the story and how you put it in song form. This is pretty ambitious. I like the hummed or dada vocals at the end. That's a nice touch.

Very cool song, Larry - Love the concept! I could picture this being done in a live environment with some lead here and there.

Sweet!
