This started as an instrumental song, but I thought it needed vocals. Paul had an old lyric submission that had not been used for the music he originally wrote it for, and it seemed a perfect fit for this one.

There are some issues with Steve's drum recording. I did the best I could do to fix that, but I'll probably have to re-sample the snare (some day ...).

Lyrics & Vocals: Paul T. Bathen
Drums: Stephen Smith
Bass: Jonathan Moody
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann

I'll add the lyric when I've found it.

Regards,

Steffen,

Even when you make a fun song, it is always so sophisticated! Love the production, and need to hear it again to pay attention to the lyrics. download!

Thanks for your nice comment! Probably not everybody's cup of tea, but I'm digging Paul's performance. This is definitely not what I had in mind when I composed the instrumental, but IMO it is a perfect fit.

I usually write music for existing lyrics, not vice versa. But this song wasn't originally meant to be equipped with vocals.

quite different but really well executed. The "accordion" sounds great and really gives the song character. The vocals are good...reminds me of something Tim Curry would sing.

I just realized there is a new song category. I think this one would belong there. Sorry for bumping my own song. :D
