Spooky 70's undead Go Go Dancer inspired song

Necromancing

LYRICS:

This house feels haunted, like Halloween night
Not sure how I got here - no exit in sight
I wander for hours through dim winding halls
these dusty old photos all lining the walls

I might know some people that fill out these frames
But the details are fuzzy, like what what their name?
Now is that an angel at the aisle in white?  
Well I'm certain I know her. At least, I think I might...

Do you want a dance? Take one. Do you want a dance? Take one
So do you want a dance? Take one. Do you want a dance? Won't you dance with me tonight?
Take one. Do you want a dance? Take one.
So do you want a dance? Take one. Do you want a dance? Keep this moment in the light

That man in the picture is holding her hand
A concept of contact my palm understands
Those lines and the wrinkles hold my sight for a while
'til my bones ache inside me, but still, yet, I smile

I feel there's a reason that I've been brought to this place
Where foreign is familiar - out of body, mind, and space
When it suddenly hits me, a memory set free
The man in that dusty old photo - is it me?

I feel I know you from somewhere
From before my mind began to tear
Please please don't you leave me
I wanna stay

Do you want a dance? Take one. Do you want a dance? Take one
So do you want a dance? Take one. Do you want a dance? Won't you dance with me tonight?
Take one. Do you want a dance? Take one.
So do you want a dance? Take one. Do you want a dance? Keep this moment in the light

The Spy (demo)

Sad Money

Working at two themes with this one. First theme is 'SPIRIT' while the second is to make a song in a genre that I don't normally touch. I went with a heart-break cowboy folk song for it.

It's the first time that I'm playing the spoons and harmonica on a song, so that's a thing now. I also really enjoyed how the first verse contrasts so much with the rest of the song. It was fun to put together the atmosphere around the song in general by including a backing track of a bar and recording some Foley work with cork sounds, clinking glasses together, etc. 

LYRICS:

I’ve been seein’ spirits of a love I used to know
But fate, it seems, had other plans in stow
I guess I got too near it, she’s a light up in the sky
And it hurts so much to fall from so damn high

My mind is running circles. And slumber still evades
A heart that’s torn to pieces - in my chest a vacant hole.
Still might be too near it, but she took my spirit, yeah

I’ve been drinkin’ spirits thinkin’ bout that love of mine
I wonder why she up and left me behin’
And curse out holy spirits she’s the one that got away
And I won’t find that again for all my days

I have so many questions - some best left unresolved
Quickened breath and heavin’, but I’m drownin’ in my mind
Still might be too near it, but she took my spirit, yeah
