Feb 2022 spooky chamber-pop zecoopdrums
Thanks to @zecoop for the drums. (I slowed them way down.) I wanted to do kind of a wordless chorus, and it came out ghostly-sounding, so I rolled with that for the lyrics
It's drifting up the steps
following on cobblestones
where you wouldn't want to go
Feel the breath upon your neck
and you turn around and check
it turns out you're alone
You feel a tightness in your chest
it will not let you rest
you dream of cemetery stones
Feeling helpless at best
for solace you read poems by
Edgar Allen Poe
AAAAAAAHHHHH
Wind rattles the glass
you can hear it whistle past
and you hear something howl
There's a corner of your cellar
that you've started to neglect
because it smells something foul
There's a scratching in the attic
and it's driving you mad
it might be just an owl
In the grasp of the shadows
you must have lost
track of the hour
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

See... I was GOING to go to bed.... Then I saw you had a song with my drums. :) Nice one slowing the drums - I love hearing them differently (these are BY FAR the most popular this year). Love the subject here, as a big EAP fan, this sounded kind of like me and before I got to the breaks, it was easy to wonder how that AHHHHHHH was going to go. Too funny, but beautiful. Those spoke parts are awesome... Lovely backing with the clarinets (or whatever). It's a calm, sleepy nightmare. Very smartly done throughout. - Good song!!!

AAHH. This is brilliant and gorgeous and weird and funny. Interesting melody, and cool chords in the chorus.
