Here is something totally different. I woke one morning and these lyrics were clear in my mind - the disturbing dream I had been having had already disappeared in the morning mist and left my pulse pounding. I had just finished reading a great series of books by Patricia Briggs (the Mercedes Thompson ones) in which werewolves play a prominent role. Maybe that is where this came from. Anyway, I went and wrote the whole thing down in maybe an hour or so. At the time I could hear it having a driving beat like Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer and thought, "Man, I need to find someone who can rock this out." Well, fortunately, Jeff Southerland ("iisee" on SR) responded and he and his son, Derek, just finished this up.
If you read along you will note a few changes in the lyrics Derek and Jeff made as they worked on it. I have not tried to incorporate them into the lyrics but wanted to make sure to give them credit for those. Everything musical in the song is theirs and I am delighted with the way it turned out - thanks guys so much for a terriffic job on this!!!
Also, I would like to share a quote from Jeff when he emailed me the song: " Made loud to be played loud!!"
So, turn up the volume!!!
Thanks to all of our SR family and friends for taking time to read and listen!
