The mix quality is excellent, a real pleasure to listen to, and the guitars are so beautiful.

Hi Scott,

I heard your song for the first time about a week ago and found it very impressive and dark.
Heavy guitars complement your strong voice, as do that menacing organ and the heavy drums. Very well done!
I couldn't help but wonder, how did you come up with those lyrics, about the "little fingers"? Impressive.

I didn't respond then, but I've listened to it twice now. The feeling I described above only grew stronger.
As did that question about the lyrics... ;-)

I noted a buzzing at the end fade out. Maybe just my connection.
Thanks, SpaceDog. I'll have to listen with my headphones to see if I hear it.

The key change from Em to Gm is brilliant.
The lyrics are a little difficult for me to understand, but they fit the song perfectly.
I was a little concerned about the Fdim chord at the ending, but I think it's acceptable considering it's a rock song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thank you, Shigeki. I used the Fdim to evoke a sense of discomfort to match the subject of the lyrics.
