Happy Halloween! Thanks for the challenge which inspired me to finish this song and find it a home. It is based on a nightmare I had several years ago!

Lyrics
I suddenly woke up, in the early morn'
Feeling awful nervous, insides pulled and torn
Stared out of the window, next thing I knew
Surrounded by blackness, bewildered by the fumes.

Walking down an alley, I sensed danger in the air
But my feet kept walking (walking in my sleep...in my sleep...)
Straight ahead were bloodshot eyes
A big monster snarled, twice my size
As I turned to escape
It wrapped it's claws around me stared me straight in the face!

I don't make deals with darkness
And somehow I got free (somehow she got free)
Somehow I got free (somehow she got free)

Only one more corner, I was on my hands and knees
It started all over, and the beast was at my heels!
Until dawn we wrestled...THIS DID NOT SEEM REAL?!
Somehow I won
And it's neck cracked with a blow.

The beast whined...curled at my feet
And blood began to flow
Now it seemed all over, my entire body drained
But what happened next was TOTALLY INSANE!!

Peering out their window, Uncle Bob and Auntie Sue
Their dead dog at my feet! (AHHH) What would they all assume?!
Feeling awful nervous, insides pulled and torn
I finally woke up, In The Early Morn'.....

an exciting escape
Better than morning coffee, that woke me up and got my blood pumping! I like the almost tango-like music and the way you stop it for dramatic effect. Good job singing your way through the story, though you could probably lower the music volume a little, sometimes it swamped your story. Anyway, very glad to see you finally scored a victory against the evil upload-monster, and got this posted! Yay! We gotta get you off of dial-up! :-)
ttfn,
Drakonis

Thanks Scott! Made the neck crack thing by slapping two cd covers together next to my mic. A friend was over doing the screams and it was her suggestion...good one huh?

Powerful
and evocative of an Argentinean horror movie. Nice pauses on meeting the monster. Lots of creativity here - would make a good accompaniment to a Burtonesque cartoon.

Only nit as Drak said is the vocals can get lost in the synths from time to time.

Great Hallowe'en entry!

Take care,
Doug

Thanks...I'll have to check out those Argentinean horror movies and Burtonesque cartoon? Can't say as I've been exposed to those being a little gal originally from Montana! Like your Desiree (JM Space Race).

Somehow,
I didn't get the idea you were scared. It was more like you enjoyed it. That makes it very scary, indeed. Thanks.
