The song really took me on a trip! I've never heard you sing that high. Great guitar sound as usual.

heh, yep, i was really reaching!
 
there is definitely some flesh ripping there in the end.....

This is a very cool song. Nice guit pickin' as usual. How many pair of vice grips did it take to get your voice so high? LOL

"The Werewolf Song" - a classic horror story re-told
 
story background:
it's a little ditty about 2 brothers and a lycanthrope.......

it's loosely based on the original wolfman movie, the one where larry talbot gets bitten by the werewolf,
and he sees the pentagram in his hand; he knows he's doomed, so he goes to the old gypsy woman-
who knows about these things, to hopefully find a cure, and she basically tells him the only thing for him to do, is to kill himself......
what a bum deal.
anyway, in this story, these 2 brothers have been partying all night, drunk as skunks, and one of them staggers out into the moor, and proceeds to meet his maker.
The remaining brother wants revenge, but has sobered up now, and has figured out that he'd better get some kind of ammunition...
....so he goes to see the gypsy-witch, to get some aconite (wolfsbane) and a spell here and a prayer there,
and believes that he's well prepared, and he goes out to the moor to get his revenge.
but that's not what he gets......

“The Werewolf Song”
Written by RF Gilliland
 
Nightime, on the moor
drank up all the mead
mist is in the air
full moon, did the deed.
never saw the evil...
that poor ole son of a ****
felt the claws that gripped his throat
yeah, he was dead without a twitch.
"it's your brother down on the moor,
with his head down at his feet!"
drink the aconite, tonight
toast the witches curse
pray to whoever you believe in
to pass over you the worst
it's your brother on the moor,
with his head down at his feet
and the debt has not been paid in full
will you, your maker, meet?
run into the moor
and see the evil eye
upon you, cast a glance,
and the payment, it is nigh.

thanks stevec............ !

Absoflippinlutely excellent all the way around.  Great story complemented by music that perfectly accentuates the lyrics and sets the mood.  Wonderful production, mix, playing, and vocals.  If I tried to hit those high notes, I just know I would hurt myself.
 
Excellent professional job!

gonzo, as always - you blow me away. I've said this before, but it's beyond me why you're not selling millions of records - you should be.

but i just couldn't handle all the autotune!
LOL
