Devil May Find Me on Soundcloud
Devil May Find Me on YouTube A singer boasting that his soul is not available for the taking. Style is _7THWARD.STY (7th Ward Bluesy Pop Guitar Solo) RealTracks in style: 2906:Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm BluesyPopMike Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 2905:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BrightBluesyPopColin Ev 100 RealDrums in style:BluesPopBusySnare^01-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, RideStyle was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer. Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played the hot, devilish guitar. I played bass and sang. Devil May Find Me...keep your enemies closer Devil may find me cuz I never try to hide. No reason I should live in fear. If he catches me, he won't know what to do. My life of crime is insincere. Designate a day to have the posse search. I'll send up a little white flag. He knows where I'll be in my private little church. I got this in the bag. Devil may find me if he's looking for some peace. I'm not the one who's breathing fire. If he was to come for a visit from his quest, he may decide to retire. Then he might relax and learn to just enjoy all there is to living life. Maybe then he'll burn all the craft he would employ to bring about this strife. I never did undo the traps he set along the way. But he forgot to bait those traps, and God helped me escape. Devil may find me cuz he knows right where I'll be. He knows I won't be all alone. He could stop his search and go back to his own hell, or help me build my firestone. If he has the time we could make a batch of smores and toast them over his hot breath. He could oust the fire and open up new doors. He has no power left.

Marty,
What an awesome song and performance! Killer vocal and arrangement. Love the production, mix and overall presentation. Dave's guitar is on fire, as always, but really kicks into high gear here.
One of your very best!

Hey, Marty! Well, Dave's participation became obvious early, didn't it? He leaves a unique (and always welcome) musical fingerprint. Your vocals sound especially nice here, with a very pleasing FX chain. Very capable BiaB backing band, too.
Cool and crafty write. "He has no power leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeft....." Quite cool indeed.

I liked it when you released it on YouTube and I still like it. Nice chops from both of you, and your production is really good, seems like you've learned a lot from Dave

Hi Marty. A good, solid blues write that ticks all those "I really enjoyed this song" boxes... write, arrangement, performances and production. Dave's additions are unmissable and add extra sparkle. Excellent work. I think Ray's comments about your being a "playful writer" hits the nail on the head. It's easy to hear that making music brings you lots of pleasure. This is a fine addition to the BabuMusic songbook --Noel

Marty and Dave, IMHO this is your best to date. You have had many winners but this one raises the bar.
Outstanding vocal and lyrics.
Dave's guitar is smoking hot
Super backing band
Loved it

That video is a positively infernal piece of artistry – quite the visual depiction of the Prince of Darkness! I was particularly struck, and frankly, relieved, by the lines, "I never did undo the traps he set along the way, but he forgot to bait those traps, and God helped me escape." A triumphant narrative of deliverance, I presume?
Beyond the video's unsettling charm, your bassline is a veritable engine – driving the song with a groove that's both relentless and refined. And need I mention your signature 'narrative vocals'? You're practically the Dickens of the Musicverse! Dave Bell's guitar work is, as ever, pure aural confection. You gentlemen are clearly operating on a level that transcends any need for dubious crossroads bargains. Superb work – utterly captivating from start to finish! 💗
best to you

Bob Thanks, Bob. I think the devil found Dave and Dave beat him with cooler fire. Hey, Marty! Well, Dave's participation became obvious early, didn't it? He leaves a unique (and always welcome) musical fingerprint. Your vocals sound especially nice here, with a very pleasing FX chain. Very capable BiaB backing band, too.
Cool and crafty write. "He has no power leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeft....." Quite cool indeed. Hey, Ron. Thanks, man. Riiiiiight? ALL performance and feeling - excellent.
Love the lyric - you are a very playful writer. Thanks, Ray. I blame Lennon with his Eric Hearble and No Flys on Frank early innfluence kind of stuff that makes me live with my tongue in my cheek. I liked it when you released it on YouTube and I still like it. Nice chops from both of you, and your production is really good, seems like you've learned a lot from Dave Thanks, Brain. Yeah, I learned a ton of stuff from Dave and from everyone here.

Epic sounding from the opening notes! Exceptional guitar-work from Dave. A literally tremendous song!
Some favourite Waoist Adages:

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Marty,
As always, it's a great video.
If the setting is Japan, I think the Devil could be replaced with King Enma of Hell. (He often appears in Buddhism.)
When I was a child, my parents often told me that if I told a lie, King Enma would pull out my tongue.
It reminded me of the days.
It's a little extraordinary, but I think it's a great song.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

I'm constantly amazed how some of the forum Masters can produce song after song after song after song, and every song has even more killer blues riffs and blues licks than the last killer song with blues licks and blues riffs.
It surely must be the devil and a lot of people must have sold their souls!
Marty, there seems to be no stopping you guys now, but you understand the consequences of the contract right?

Cool tune. Nice blues progression. I like this.
Everything fits so nicely.
That guitar is good. Smokey tone fits nicely.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Superb. Caught my attention from the first bar. Dave is something else on that guitar (especially in the beginning, as well as in the interlude). Then again, so are you . Your lyrics hit home, your delivery is one of your best (strong staccato, accented singing) ... the writing is incredible. A masterclass in artistic defiance, and certainly one of your best. Absolutely loved it.

Izzy Thanks, Izzy. Prints of darkness are the photographer's nightmare. The videos are the least rewarding and often most dificult part of the whole process, but I do like seeing how the Ai comes up with images based on my elaborate prompts. The dickens, you say. Dave's "aural confection." I really like that one. Yeah, I sat at the crossroads once and the devil never found me then either. Did see Robert Johnson in the crosswalk though.

Well sung, and Dave brings some serious guitar chops!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
