Boo! I humbly submit this ghoulish rock song of the underworld, “Devil”, co-written with Bryan Wolf, for your Halloween playlist consideration.
I've had this tune in mind for years, but could never find quite the right angle for the lyrics. Writing it as a spooky season banger with Bryan turned out to be just the jolt of electricity needed to bring this monster to life.
The track features Bryan on guitar and Josh Wilson on drums and bass. The three of us had so much fun working on this and my last song, Bad Nerds, that we are looking forward to sharing more as a full group in the future.
If you'd like to support the work directly, you can purchase the track from my Bandcamp page:

Lyrics:
Title: “Devil”
The beat was breaking down just before we met
Sweating in the dark, burning from the sparks, it glows
Body heat was rising up as the mood was set
You had my bleeding heart, picking me apart for show
Satan satin lover you don't understand
A demon in the night could be your last dance
Danger masquerader, stranger persuader
How do you know who I am?
I don't want to be alone
Coming undone, I can't control the devil on my own
You save yourself, but don't let me go
Don't let me go
If you think I've been around, better watch your step
Tangled up in red, tango in the dread limbo
When you spin me in the web I'll have no regret
Who's the real prey? You just watch me sway below
Whip me up like butter, I'm a firebrand
Hold me to the pyre and leave me damned
Witchy witchy woman, who you gonna summon?
And how do you know for sure?
I don't want to be alone
Coming undone, I can't control the devil on my own
You save yourself, but don't let me go
Don't let me go
I bet you took a gambler's chance looking in hell for romance
I thought I told you to run, run, run for your life
I don't know what to say for myself
How do I keep from breaking down?
How do I know you'll be there in the cold morning light?
I don't want to be alone
Coming undone, I can't control the devil on my own
You save yourself, don't let me go
I don't want to be alone
Coming undone, I can't control the devil on my own
Stay with me tonight, don't let me go
Don't let me go
