Description
This is the new extended version of the previously posted song "I Won't Go Softly." The last version was made from loops, and Fellow MacJammer Jim Bouchard generously offered to redo the song with some rockin' guitars and piano instead. So now the backup has all been done by Jim. I really love what he's done with it. I believe he used JamPack4 for a few things, and his own guitar and bass. A dreamy spooky bridge hads been added as well as a repeated chorus at the end. James did some funky cool stuff with effects at the end, too. I re-recorded the vocals to lessen the clipping, but there is still a bit of distortion (since I had to use the pinhole mic). Play it loud or use headphones because the overall volume is low (to lessen some distortion). Hope you like it! The artwork is by Diane Fenster.

Lyrics
My bags are packed and ready to go
You've caused more damage than you'll ever know
You're sweetly sleeping in your bed
While I'm going out of my head
As per your request I will be gone
By the time you wake up in the morn
I may go calmly in the night
But I won't let go without a fight
I won't go softly
I won't go quietly out of your life
I won't go softly
You can't leave me, you don't have the right
I'm not obsessed, don't be absurd
I simply hang on your every word
It's not the time for this to end
I don't want to be your f***ing friend
I'm sorry, that was not required
I'm feeling a little overtired
I just can't sleep without you there
Don't you make me go, now don't you dare
I won't go softly
I won't go quietly out of your life
I won't go softly
You can't make me you don't have the right
Will you dream of me
while your sleeping peacefully
Will you dream of me tonight...
I won't go softly...
You've caused more damage than you'll ever know
You're sweetly sleeping in your bed
While I'm going out of my head
As per your request I will be gone
By the time you wake up in the morn
I may go calmly in the night
But I won't let go without a fight
I won't go softly
I won't go quietly out of your life
I won't go softly
You can't leave me, you don't have the right
I'm not obsessed, don't be absurd
I simply hang on your every word
It's not the time for this to end
I don't want to be your f***ing friend
I'm sorry, that was not required
I'm feeling a little overtired
I just can't sleep without you there
Don't you make me go, now don't you dare
I won't go softly
I won't go quietly out of your life
I won't go softly
You can't make me you don't have the right
Will you dream of me
while your sleeping peacefully
Will you dream of me tonight...
I won't go softly...

I had a feeling this would be good, when I saw the
collaboration. This is a much more organic version than
the original, much more alive and, more frightening.
Excellent job of taking a concept--dangerous obsession--
and fleshing it out musically. If that makes sense.
My only suggestion is to consider adding some
nightmarish harmonies to the chorus, a choir of deranged
Emilies...
Nice work, both of you.
