Flame of Addiction

I think this fits in with a video that Nigel posted recently in some ways.  I finally got around to writing lyrics which is always hard for me.  I must confess to having AI help out a little, but that doesn't mean I didn't put in the time and work!!!

Wow, steve! I feel like I just left an opera!  You have a great skill for vocally negotiating these bouncing, rolling chord changes that makes for an endlessly interesting experience. Very tight arrangement and the vocals are just great. Oh, yeah, the guitar break was great and the bass that walks all over the place under it is amazing. Great work, worth the effort!

Hi Kevin - thank you very much!  This one took some time before I got to a point where I think it is acceptable.

Wasn't sure if you wrote the music first and then the lyrics or v.v. Either way great negotiating the bouncy music as Kevin stated. And yeah it does seem to fit in with Nigel's latest.

That's quite an ambitious song, a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody in there. Is that you playing piano? It's really good.

Hi Bjorn - the music was first and then the video - I kind of wrote the lyrics based on the video.  Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you very much for listening and your comments.  Yes I did the instruments - the piano is a little bit of a cheat though, because there are two tracks going on.
