daryl1968 401 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Hi fine forum folk Here's a new song that I wrote and recorded. Lyrics below link. There is a pretty tasty guitar solo by James (jamesg1213) Griffiths at around 1:56 if you want to fast forward past the singing Nits and crits welcome ..just in case you're not aware https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=psychic vampires She's a Psychic Vampire Written and performed by Staypress Guitar solo by James Griffiths V1 It was an ordinary night The usual crew At the disco looking for a fight 'Cos there was nothing else to do Prechorus 1 She walked in the building Cold and pale and smouldering But despite her splendour She'll talk 'til you surrender Chorus She's a psychic vampire V2 The atmosphere had changed in the place He turned and spoke to her 'I like your cold unsmiling face.... ....your cape goes nicely with your hair' Prechorus 2 She hypnotised her victim She talked and talked and drained him She made an empty vessel Their love was extra special Chorus Middle bit So they bonded forever She turned him to the night Now they reap energy together They give everyone a freaking fright Chorus to end Edited September 28, 2020 by daryl1968 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bapu 2,392 Posted September 23, 2020 I like your demo mate. It's the demo to beat all demos. If I had a demo this good I'd demo it all over town in every demo spot around. 🙂 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heinz Hupfer 91 Posted September 23, 2020 HI:) Love that groove;) Nice! Bassman. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynn Wilson 463 Posted September 23, 2020 Another terrific song, lyrics, and vocal from Staypress! That was a tasty guitar solo, btw. I once was acquainted with a real psychic vampire, and she truly sucked the life out of the room, so I can relate to this very well. Gee, it's too bad we're relegated to making only demos here because this raises the bar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddy j 376 Posted September 26, 2020 What's not to like. I echo the comments above ---- for a demo this raises the bar very high. I would say it is definitely halloween ready for play. Excellent work by all. Excellent vocals and those are indeed some tasty guitar sounds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Arwood 144 Posted September 27, 2020 Nice song. I like the effects on the vocals - it is a nice change in the sound at that point. Very nice horns. I never did a horn piece. Nice accents with them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
