Last Stop Willoughby

Any Twilight Zone fans out there?  This original song is inspired by one of my favorite episodes.

I've added a video I made for this song:

Willoughby . . . Willoughby . . . 

I get chills when I think of that episode even though I haven't seen it ages.  

PS: I enjoyed your song and got chills again when I read the webpage.

Cool tune, sounded good in my cans. Totally unexpected & opposite vibe of the episode, one of my TZ favs. (I used to enjoy leaving the tv on  all during the entire 4th of July or New Year marathons until they started chopping off more & more key parts for commercials.) -really enjoyed the track!

HI Nigel - thanks for listening.  I am a Steely Dan fan so I am sure I stole some of their ideas!

Thank you!  I try to catch a lot of the new year's eve airings.  It always amazes me that there is one here and there that I don't remember seeing.

Really enjoyed this one!
I read the title and knew exactly what it referred to.
Nice how the lyrics match the video so well.

I enjoyed that.  I never saw this particular episode, but looked it up and found that Rod Serling considered this his favorite episode from the first season.  I'll have to check it out.

So, I got sick of all the disgusting and violent election ads on TV here and decided for BF to get Paramount+ Premium [Mostly No Commercials] for less than $1.00 / week for a year--and last week I found they have Twilight Zone!  With no commercials!!!!!!!!!  ? Its now on my list to watch over the remaining 48 weeks of the deal.  Thanks for reminding me about the series.

I know how you feel about those ads - glad that is over.  Paramount+ is what Yellowstone is on, isn't it?

Hi Larry!  Thanks for stopping by.

[PhonoBrainer]

Loved it. Haven't seen the episode, but your video sets with the song and sets up the inevitable twilight zone twist!

I 100% got zero Steely Dan out of this, but how about They Might Be Giants? Your vocal is super clean and clear in the mix, and the bgv's are such great adds in great spots.

Kudos for the non-cliche chord changes. Well done! See you in Willoughby. They do have a band . . .

 

cheers,

-Tom

I looked up Yellowstone.  Bad news / Good news: While it is part of the Paramount Network, "Yellowstone is not available on Paramount+ due to streaming rights, but don't worry — we've got super exciting Yellowstone-related series streaming now, plus there's more on the way from the universe of Yellowstone executive producer, Taylor Sheridan. Dec 19, 2022."
