On Halloween

[hummingbird]

Light-hearted, comical, campy, and fun is what I'm shooting for, with 'over the top' creepy music and 'scary' vocals. Got the music as well, but nothing recorded yet. There'll be some listings in the spring looking for Halloween music, I'm sure. On HalloweenOn Halloween the Goblins danceWhere the wild Wolves howlOn Halloween the Vultures landWhere the mad Trolls growlIn an ancient groveBy a haunted hillIn the dead of nightfeel the midnight chillOn HalloweenOn Halloween*howling dance musicOn Halloween the Ghosts flyWhere the Vampires dwellOn Halloween the Witches soarCasting evil spellsOn a whistling windBy the ancient gravesIn the gathering darkAt the Wizard’s raveOn HalloweenOn Halloween*spell-casting dance musicOn Halloween the Specters riseWhere the Zombies lurkOn Halloween the Orc band playsIn the creepy murkBy a bubbling streamwith the Monster ChoirChanting as they movePrancing round the fireOn HalloweenOn Halloween*chanting/prancing dance musicIn an ancient groveBy a haunted hillIn the dead of nightfeel the midnight chillOn HalloweenOn Halloween© 2007 VL Flawith (Socan, Ascap)

I believe I commented on this a while back on another site, Vikki ... as I said before, I like it but the "orc band" still throws me (although you have explained the meaning and I know it fits in). Not sure this is exactly the same as before or if you have made any changes. I don't believe I have heard it with music but I would like to ... I'm sure you have appropriate haunting-type music befitting the great visuals you have provided! Mary Lou

I gave it a quick read and liked it a lot, I found a nice rythm to the words as I read ... except for ORC BAND. I don't have a clue what that is. See Mary Lou doesn't either. Funny SPECTERS did not bother me much on the first read, but I don't know what that is either. (maybe I have a vague idea that i've heard it before or it sounds halloweeny anyway)Maybe you are going for too much in that verse. Maybe keep it simple so everyone understands. Maybe it is just me who is dense .. lolDean
