really nice song. a very nice mix and blend of effects as well. [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

I enjoy your music. I'll leave it in my playlist. Thank you!

thank you so much for the great feed back 

Another lovely song.  Brilliant songwriting.

Wow this song is really good! I like the vocal echo a lot

Lovely dreamy song Steve, like the arrangement!

I watched a horror thriller 'Veronica' on Netflix. It was in Spanish with subtitles. Having to read the meaning didn't help my racing imagine though.  Well crafted and scary stuff.

Anyway, I watched this film with my wife and son Evan. He referred to the 'demon' in the film as El Creatchar, especially when it did that lurking around thing in the shadows/corridors etc. Jaysus!

Well this  made us all laugh alot,  and funny enough, the next day this song jumped out - a tale of bewitchment, possession, some fantasy sprinkling of  teen angst.

Apart from a large amount of poetic license especially in the play around with the title dictionary definition, its really simple. Don't be messin around in the school attic with that Ouija board people  :) The Reaper has got enough cowbells.

[Verse]
Demonise,
Cold as stone,
A racing heart,
That won't let go.
Eyes forward,
You're all that you 
needed to be

[Verse]
Phased Out,
Ocean wide,
Your aching body is,
Next to mine.
The sky is yours,
The earth is far below.

[Chorus]
And the wire's gotten crazy, (* I'm gone *)
And the lights are getting dim, (* I'm gone *)
Just how long will it take me, (* I'm gone *)
To put on this second ... skin. (* I'm gone *)

[Verse]
Demonise,
Raging fire,
The lines that are drawn,
Won't go higher.
Eyes backward,
There's no one watching you.

[Verse]
Fly Straight,
Razor thin,
You ask the impossible,
That's where I begin.
The sky is yours,
The endless rains below.


[Chorus]
And the wire's gotten crazy, (* I'm gone *)
And the lights are getting dim, (* I'm gone *)
Just how long will it take it, (* I'm gone *)
To put on this second ... skin. (* I'm gone *)

Song Production Notes:
Iteration1 - basic verse and chorus
Iteration2 - full song structure, added space for a guitar solo , Added short organ solo.
... bit later , like 5 or 6 - This one is killing me - added a *VERY ROUGH* guitar solo, redid all the acoustics into one each side ... eh - realised that everything was too loud in the mix and so gain staged a bunch of tracks down to like -18 ... and now the mix is back as a work in progress .... meh. Never got back to the vocals verse 3/4 ... put in 1/2 as placeholders
 Iteration 7 - Put in a better solo. re balanced the vocals, doubled the backing to panned 60% left and right   ... think its getting close
Iteration 8 : Recorded vocals verse 3 and 4 ,  noticed the vocal is brighter but leaving it as is. ( mic setting was exactly the same - must have been a different approach ) .
Iteration 9 : Rebalanced the intro guitar to  sit better. Removed a long trailing cymbal at the end. Added a little bit more reverb on the main guitar solo.

We're here!!! : ------> Done for now.
