Description

Here we go again. Yesterday Chad Miller (known as Bizarre) heard this tune in my original version. He got very excited and wanted to add something. And he did in an impressive short amount of time!! The result is to me very beautiful, and i hope that I will get the chance to work with him again!! Mister Miller has added some guitars on this one, those of you who know my original will understand what he has added!

When asking mister miller if he wanted to add some words to the song description he answered: " I unleashed the deep satanic tendencies through sacrificing a goat, and burned my guitar and performed Ouija board rituals" I guess that about says it all! Enoy this haunting tune!!

Ps: He also claims he played with peanutbutter on the fretboard!

Lyrics

i gave you everything
You gave nothing back
I gave you my time and soul
cause your soul was black

i gave you the time
that you didnt have
you painted it all so dark

You painted it all so dark as the night

I gave up everything
and you didnt care
I gave up my heart and soul
I gave up my fear

i gave up the time
that I used to spend
You painted it all so dark

you painted it all so dark as the night

	Super job guys Love it. Great depth to the vocals. Really emotive without sounding too sappy. and the guitar leads are hauntingly refreshing without overpowering the main theme of the song. Well mixed and produced. Kudos. Malachai Check out my latest song called Left to Swing (w/ The Composer)

First off, just so everyone's clear...
...Mr. Miller is NOT kidding when he says that stuff about the goat
sacrifice and the peanut butter...

This is a cool collab, just 'cause you guys are two of the kings of the
dark viewpoint around here... and maybe so effective you both know
how to salt your take on 'dark' with essentially optimistic
outlooks...somehow...

Okay. Stop me before I type again.

The guitars sound very nice together. It reminds me of demos you get
in box sets...a couple of takes before the full, mellotron-laden version
with drums... So the guitarist is trying to sound like a mellotron, and a
harpsichord, and...

Well done, gentlemen...

	Beautiful and creepy Especially towards the end where the ethereal solo voice comes in in the background. It's a very cool collab. Nice and dark and haunty. Enjoyed it. Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	Great song Very nice ... atmospheric and ambient with a lovely haunting melody. The peanut butter adds a lovely tone. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

Einarus	Einarus said 1395 days ago (January 27th, 2006)
	beautiful There's really a lot of emotion in this track. Really good. Bizarre's additions are very nice - very subtle - but definately add a little 'something something' to it. Beautifully bleak. Check out my latest song called Good Things Come in Fours

thoddi	thoddi said 1395 days ago (January 27th, 2006)
	strange ...but i get the feeling of hearing the sound of a church calling to service. its those echoed guitar chords that runs through it that gives that feeling I guess. Indeed a great one Selters, and the addition from that bizarre guitar dude is immense. Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

	wow those whispered vocals ... the dreamy guitar... the angel singing in the background... very cool haunted track Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

Alannah	Alannah said 1394 days ago (January 27th, 2006)
	Deep and Dark Indeed ..... the puppeting relationship is working for you two ... great tune. Love the darkness and baritone quality of the sound. I am a lover of deep dark music anyway ... so this one fits right in with my collection. Good job you guys. Check out my latest song called I'm Drownin' - Smokey VW (feat Alannah) + Outtaorbit

Rolo	Rolo said 1394 days ago (January 28th, 2006)
	Cool Very cool one. The background synth gives it more melancholy. Production is very nice. Only problem i find is a little ambient noise in the guitar (maybe from the recording). Check out my latest song called Sempiterna Decepción

A Boy and His Puppet
So, Mr. Miller's first act is to take over your back catalog, selters. It's a
genius move. I'm wondering who I should try to convince to be my
puppet.

I haven't heard the original, but all of the additions sound organic to
the song, as though they belong completely. Really nice work by both
of you. The only suggestion I have is to bring the reverb on the guitars
down a little bit.

Go puppets!

	Dark Bizarre's arrangement made your song even more haunting than ever. It provided a great background to your deeply moving vocals. The lyrics are dark but very heartfelt. I'll listen to this when I am in a dark mood... Damn, i just might cry. Check out my latest song called The Nightingale (music and lyrics by Oceans)

	Good Tune and I'm not sure I'd call the production lo-fi, but WTF. I like the moody, floaty vocals and the guitars. My only question is 'where's the bass'?

aclarke	aclarke said 1393 days ago (January 29th, 2006)
	This sounds great! The guitars on this add so much depth and warmth to a cold, dark song. Must have been the peanut butter. Very solid mix- the guitars added dimension while not overshadowing the cool vocals on the track. Nice work, Bizzelters. Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Eating I was eating peanut butter while I listened to this and I smeared some on my ears, too. Check out my latest song called Black Star (MJ Live Aid w/jgurner)

	not reafly lo-fi This is a complex and wonderfully layered piece. I injoyed the original as well, but this is better. Nice stuff. Check out my latest song called Gardens

Very moody and quite dark
Kinda like the color itself! Well done - good job conveying the intended feelings. I don't wanna know the person that the song is about! Like ledebutant and others on here, I didn't hear the original, so I don't know what was added (although I think I can noodle it from the guitar tones). There were a couple of spots where the timing between some of the guitars was a little off, but the drag actually kinda adds to the piece (given the theme). Brililiant collab, my friends - maybe the first of many between you two?

Check out my latest song called Piece of Heaven

	Nice punch up to the song, Selters and Bizarre - it's very chimy and dreamy, which really takes the lyrics into a whole other realm. Nice collab, guys! Check out my latest song called Dive!
