Thanks for your kind words, eloneen , Horacewimp , vlogdance , dillwyn ! We put quite a lot of work into it so it's nice to know you guys enjoyed it. Now, given that I helped creating this song I'm hoping the Monster will adopt a somewhat lax position regarding my behaviour at least for a couple of months... Au contraire, it's probably fortified our determination to see the law enforced around here - thanks for that!

You should have been a lawyer, unomusette . Your ability to twist things around (and do it convincingly) doesn't cease to impress me.

Ha! I do hope you're not imagining this kind of flattery might earn you some immunity.... *drums claws suspiciously*

I think it’s not showing dillwyn because the song is set to private.

dillwyn: is this one from the old times or it belongs to the new material?

dillwyn, quite a dark song, with a bit of a gloomy feel to it, that's well acquired. Personal opinion after just a couple of listens, having in mind the level of the previous songs you've shared here ("Inside of you", "Temporary madness of the heart", "Higher"...), I liked this one a bit less than the others. Maybe it's me that I'm more an upbeat, direct pop songs kind of guy; of course music is totally subjective, but in any case a good album should feature different kinds of songs so I can picture this one filling in a certain role effectively in the context of an album. If you have other songs you would be willing to share with us, I'm interested in listening.

Thank you, yes it's an open letter to someone so ..yes certainly sad. the lyric is fairly short as it encapsulated my mood at the time and is meant to add a slower pace The cellist didn't quite get what I wanted but with limited budget there was no time to get another so we added a viola line it sadden it further... here is a more upbeat one... soundcloud.com/sirenblue/bulletproof-by-bedtime/s-7KwKp

Yeah, that's way more my style. Very good song, I liked it. You gave it an interesting twist because -what I thought is- the bridge, finishing in that V grade, made it sound like it would totally explode after that and instead you decided to go the other way and make the chorus softer, without powerchords, like more ethereal. Well done. Is that you with the long hair and the fretless bass on the album cover?

Thank you Helmut with that wall of sound approach i thought i needed to mix it up a bit to stop everything sounding the same. On the one, the vocal melody came before the chords and the last bit is a jam because i wanted to showcase her voice a little.
Yes that gig the guitarist had got hold of a kazoo and that was the one and only solo ever.

Calling all forumheads! Just when you might have been thinking it was safe to maybe try a little rule-breaking or even all out lawlessness around here, it's time to remind you of why that's a very bad idea. Dishing out justice whenever it suits us for the benefit of all is of course the sacred duty of your own, your very own Two Headed Monster. BSJ and myself have selflessly taken on this role and it's been a whole lot of fun very hard work which we do for the good of all. So to celebrate all things spanky and roary, and in co-operation with the esteemed Helmut83 , here's a glorious anthem lovely song for all to enjoy. Credits to Helmut83 for: music, keyboards, electric guitar, zither, harmonica, arrangements and production, BSJ for vocals and my good self for: music, lyrics, vocals, arrangements. Anyway, what are we waiting for? Before you dive in, we heartily recommend listening with earphones because there are some sneaky additional bits which you may not be able to totally appreciate with notebook/cell phone speakers or the naked ear And if you tiptoe out before the end you might miss the best bit This is a great song. Very cool, very catchy with a slightly Halloween-y tone I'd say. It's quite dark and the guitar reminds me of Nirvana. I love the effects.
