Hi Mark,
Wow! You certainly managed to pull of the 'spooky vibe' really well.... very impressive arranging and orchestrating!
From the first note to the last, you held my attention.
I'm a fan!
Noel

Spooky!
I like your work, this is the third I've heard I think. Always something a little different, which is good!
I like the different sections, and the spoken word latin bit at the end was fun.
What are you using in addition to the BIAB tracks?
Good work, enjoyed. Happy Halloween!

Delightful and unusual. Fun to listen to. "I see a headstone with your name." Love that line.

This song definitely seems dark when you first read the lyrics, which I feel is a really perfect vibe for Halloween! Thanks for sharing.

'Mark K'... 'Spooky' vibe??? Spooky? Is that all? How 'bout downright sinister, creepy, and morbidly musical??? Hope you got a lotta candy tossed into your wrinkled brown paper shopping bag when you went out trick-or-treatin' tonight, so you can lighten your mood -- jus' kiddin'  !!! All this atmosphere came out of three Real Track styles, eh? Ya' sure ya' didn't whip up some kind'a evil potion and drink it BEFORE you started the composition in Band-in-a-Box? Open your mouth, young man, and let me see your tongue  !!! All kidding aside, 'Mark K', your song, Help You Find The Reaper, was delightfully scary and very, very interesting, musically speaking. Did you employ any other instruments in the production? BOO !!! LOREN

I really enjoyed this creepy tune. Nice slower and more acoustic introduction. Very exciting and even scary chord progression without becoming unlistenable outside the Halloween context. Electric guitar, rhythmic bed and cello give another deeper reaper level. Mix is excellent. Maybe the piano could have had a little bit out-of-tune sound?

Mark,
Creative, creepy fun with well structured changes and a good mix. The metal? guitar works well and that ending spoken Latin is very cool.
Well done!

Fun but the drums, & snare in particular, were at odds with the general vibe. Sounded like an 80s drum machine inserted for effect.

I really liked the 'Dark Vibe' that you perfected throughout this song.
This just got better and better.
Halloween Delivered!

Hello Mark,
Yep ... some really spooky stuff going on here! Great song for the season.
I personally liked the drums as they reminded me of approaching zombies closing, almost in a military marching mode.
Cool song with lots of spooky effects! Best to you ...
Alan

Hi Mark,
You can surely make creepy songs that really sound creepy!
At first I thought 'where are you going to with the melody. Then you caught me till the end, like Noel said.
I'm not a fan of Halloweenparties or so, I think it's my nerves prefend me liking it.
But if I would, your song should be in the top 5 of nice, very well made spooky songs.
You made a nice atmosphere for finding that reaper.
Hans

Mark,
The chord progression is very nice.
Many others said, it gives this tune Halloween atmosphere very much.
The use of each instruments and the orchestration are wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
