When The Drone's Were Dropping Roses (Collaboration)

A little something I wrote this evening, no lyrics yet so just an instrumental. It's not well mixed but just a demo idea. Only 3 chords... I've always wanted to write something with a Synth involved! 
There is a bass, a Snyth, 2 guitars and a drum loop. Enjoy!
