I just wanna say this straight up: I love your voice, and this is a very, very solid song!

I wanna sing with you one day, do a really haunting ballad or something similar...

Welcome back Chris! Winter is clearly behind us with inspiration thawing like the snow. Great track with shades of Bowie in that silky voice of yours.

Pixies Guitar? Joey Santiago-esque. Nice sound. as a great NO-Wave feel to it. Drives along nicely. 

I can hear the drums go doubletime here, tension in the vocal builing and pounding away,  peaking and then gently landing on the next "Bullets built this house" But your way is good too. ; ) Brilliant as always show off. Bravo.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party - Lovely chiming guitar build up. Good sound choice with this vivid lyric and powerful vocal. I'm putting my own personal interpretation on to this and in reality every listener has their own version of any song. I think I'm with you on this being a real stinker of a winter. We still have snow here when we should have spring flowers and little birds singing - just call me a hopeless Romantic. Great post to SC, keep them coming Chris. All the best, Mark

Good to hear your voice and music again! Long time no see! Hope you're all well? :)

love this tune Chris...low vocal register sounds awesome

Is it just me…
Or has everyone just seemed in terrible mood this winter?

...so, I'll leave it up to you...
Is this about a troubled domestic situation? ...or a guy who just arrived in prison? ...or god forbid.... BOTH!
LOL!
It’s good to be back! ;)

“If Bullets Built This House”
Words and music by: Chris Demkow 03/13

If bullets built this house…
There’s nothing worse than this
…The sound of your heart moving on
While I’m crippled with the guilt

If bullets built this house…
Then we’re sharing all the blame
There’s nothing worse than laughter…
While I’m trying to explain

If bullets built this house…
Which one owns the gun?
And if you’re really “serving life”…
Then who’s out having fun?

If bullets built this house…
Then I’m learning to play dead
Cause, what you might think are blanks
Are fucking with my head

If bullets built this house…

Why do we keep holding on?
If everything we do is wrong
And how can we compete with life?
If all our enemies are right beside us…inside us…
Covered in blood and broken glass

Did bullets build this house?

If Bullets Built This House

There's a lot more to learn about me and my music in the descriptions attached to each song...

I'm thrilled to be part of this extraordinary community.

Peace.

Chris
