The Animals Are Watching

Description

This one's a little dark and experimental for me. Everything but the vocals and end guitar are effected GB loops. I won't deny the Radiohead influence... really into them lately. Best listened to with headphones!

Lyrics

THIS EVENING AFTER SUNSET
I WILL SPEAK TO YOU

AND I WILL TELL YOU
EVERYTHING DEAR
THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR

THEY ARE WATCHING
THROUGH THE CAMERAS
THEY ARE VERY NEAR

ALL THE VAMPIRES
HAVE ALL DIED OFF
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME

WE ARE FLOATING
DOWN A RIVER
WE ARE DRIFTING OFF

WE ARE WATCHING
ALL THE ANIMALS
AND THEY ARE WATCHING US

	sounds good I really like that backing you have. the reversed drum (and whatever else you've got) sets the jam up pretty well. Check out my latest song called Represent

	The Animals Are Watching Killer album art. Spooky as sh*t. I like the sparseness of this one. Not overdone. Quietly disturbing. The effected loops are decidedly tasty. Cool lyrics, too. RR Check out my latest song called Paper Thin

	NINish I'm getting more of a Reznor vibe than Radiohead, but either way, it's vintage Ridd. Cool percussion going on there. Great stuff! Check out my latest song called One more One Shot

	concept reminds me of that weird little dark part in fantastic mr. fox where he's riding out of town and he stops and watches a wolf howl on the hill and there's a sense of impending revolution. really like the little claps and the tambourine. Check out my latest song called The Double Helix
