Ghosts - Sounds against War

The October 2022 DIAMC writing prompt was about displacement, taking a character either fictional or real and putting them into an alternative reality. I imagined a world where Little Red was all grown up and off to the bright lights and big city, in search of Mr Wolf.

Demo, recorded in the spare bedroom of our holiday cottage in Ackergill.



Little Red

Little Red she’s grown up proper
Little Red, nothing’s going to stop her
She’s going to shine, like the moon
Mr Wolf, big man in the city
Mr Wolf sure likes them pretty
In for a surprise, Mr Wolf
You’d better watch that back
Look both ways
She’s coming for her due
Little Red

Little Red, headed for the Hood
Telling Granny she is going to be good
She may be lying, but honest she’s trying
Little Red steps into his bar
Mr Wolf greets her with a snarl
“Hrrrrrrrr, Babe, you’re looking swell”
Little Red flicks back long hair
Walks by, ignoring his stare
“Make mine a double on the rocks 
And wipe that look, off your face,
I swapped out that blunt old axe,
For some Mace
And I’m not afraid to use it,
Don’t need a Woodcutter no more.”

Little Red, now she’s a star
Mr Wolf, he’s gone and bought her a car
And a house, and a yacht, and a ring
He fell under her spell
Little Red, she played him so well
But damn, that girl could sing
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

“Turned out there’d been a bit of a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf isn’t all bad, you know? Last I heard…he’d gone and bought Granny…a new condo”

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

"Turns out, it had all been a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf, well, he is all bad you know. In fact, the last I heard, he'd gone a bought Granny a new condo.

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

========== Lyrics ==========

Out in the field, at night
I find myself twirling out of space
It’s like a dream, it seems...

There comes times where I don’t really care
About what goes on around 

All I hear is my boom box going hard
Out over here, nobody seems to notice us
At times I may have my own reasons
But never will I turn you my back 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Out in the field, we dance endlessly 
Out over here where you can see the city
We don’t dwell into tomorrow’s worries
We live for now and glorious memories 

We don’t mind, we don’t mind nothing 

We are at our rhythm 
We don’t care about your competition 
Nothing sane in soulless repetition 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

This piece is expressly composed to honor my father. He died in 1956 as a consequence of the penalties suffered in the concentration camps after the Spanish civil war. I was six years old. Life didn't give us much time to be together.
