happy halloween! -- "the WEREWOLF song"

"The Payment (werewolf song)" - a classic horror story re-told :D


story:
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 see's the pentagram in his hand; he knows he's phucked, so he goes to the old gypsy woman who knows about these things, to find a cure, and she basically tells him the only thing for him to do, is to kill himself......
what a bum deal.

anyway, these 2 brothers have been partying all night, drunk as skunks, and one of them staggers out into the moor, and proceeds to meets 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 Payment�
Written by Robert F. 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 bitch
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.

Like it! Nice and theatrical. Very professional sounding. I want to see this live with smoke machines and a huge lighting rig!

heheh

what happened in 1988? wolf attack?

thanks man, glad you dig it



man, i remember as a kid, i loved watching all the old scary flics, and then sneaking into the theatre with the older kids to watch whatever was the current horror flic....

i tried to make this one theatrical, but 'serious'.
the original wolfman movie, yea, that was pretty serious....


the coolest part of this mix, for me, was getting to record all the feedback guitar stuff.


it replaces what would/could have been a synth line...

i cranked my rig up really loud, and would fret certain notes, and just let them take off on their own, feeding back thru the amp....

sometimes they would go somewhere i hadn't planned...

the whole idea was, to let it do whatever it was going to do, and somehow, capture it and use it.


i have a lot of those tracks (i think 5 or 6 in all) and i blend them in and out of the mix here and there......

it was so loud and intense in the recording room at the time, i was afraid i was going to rip a speaker!!

but it made it feel like i had a tiger by the tail..

or a werewolf by the short hairs.
LOL
