Hi All, Sharing another new song - this is called VAMPIRES. Push back the darkness be done Walks with his eyes full of pain Under a dirty cold rain And we stumbled down the path Like vampires under the sun Trying to outrun the gun Out in the morning so blue Where some lies become truth And we hide in the shadows Like vampires under the sun Then like the weight of a ton You took off to fly all alone Coltrane spins in the dark And we fade out in the dawn Like vampires under the sun And we fade out in the dawn Like vampires under the sun All BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent Ev16 085 832: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, AltCountryMoody Ev 075 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 a:Snare on 4, HiHat, b: Snare As always - thanks for listening!

A moody elegant and atmospheric write. Excellent lyric, performed in your trademark manner. Great use of the band - excellent chord solos, and a lovely big guitar and drum sound. Excellent track.

Bob,
Peter said much of what I was about to...I like how he described it "A moody elegant and atmospheric write."
One more in a long line of songs that sound like they were recorded for an upcoming album...
It is popular these days in many of the cable shows to have the characters in a bar where a solo act or small group is playing on a small stage providing an atmosphere to what is happening (often, sparse, heavy conversation). (saw one last night - the latest episode of "Better Things"). THIS (you) could easily be one of those performers...

I really loved the moody tone to this song. When I first clicked on the thread I got super excited to hear some monster mythology weaved in to a song format. Then I played the song, heard the intro, and went back and started reading the lyrics. I realized it was more a metaphorical vampire, but I have to say I enjoyed the song just as much as I would have if it had been a song about mythology. Really liked the artistic choices you made and the imagery of this song. Thanks for sharing it with us!

"A moody elegant and atmospheric write"
Yep, Peter nailed it with three words...we would only add "cinematic" as this should get attention at the song libraries.
Add in a fine vocal performance and a pro mix...those drums are tremendous.
The roll continues and we are enjoying the ride.

Love the instrument choices
this band rocks
put me right there in the scene
Coltrane spins in the dark, you're gone
my drink sits unattended, melting
and I'm fading into nothingness
like a vampire in the sun
great write and performance,
Kenny

Really nicely done! It flows beautifully, and some of the lyrics really stand out to me. The backing track selection is excellent here as well - everything compliments eachother, especially your vocals. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Good set of allegorical lyrics... Backed by a your usual well-done vocal, backing tracks, & production... I had to listen a couple of times to let the lyrics sink in... Good job!

Number 2914 is easy to recognize and has become one of my favorites Great use of it and plays well with the electric guitar. Dry mix matches nicely with your vocals. Interesting lyrical landscape, although blood wasn't sucked Janne

Bob, I always enjoy your poetic lyrics. The band you’ve assembled here just kills. Big drums and fingerpick acoustic are perfectly complimented by the big chords of the electric lead. Nicely presented. The production is impeccable, Tom

Metaphors and similes abound in a very picturesque song that has a very supportive arrangement beneath it. For my part the catch phrase/hook is the least convincing of your very credible writing... "And we fade out in the dawn Like vampires under the sun" I think of all the fang flicks I've seen and the undead doesn't go lightly. Ah, but those are my cinematic memories intruding.
