Song #1 - Killer on the Loose

The first song I put online is called, Killer on the Loose. No reason for this, other than it was the first song that sounded okay. I think it was the seventh or eighth scratch track we recorded, so that fact that we finished it first was just a fluke.

(It's currently a free download. Snag it!)

The vocals on the current version are okay, I guess. This isn't to say that I don't like what I've done. It's just that... I'm getting more confident behind the mic. And with the confidence comes a stronger voice. 

The version that's available today won't be the final version. My studio partner (engineer/producer) Ron and I both agree that the mix is a little rough around the edges, and I can probably do a better job on the vocals. 

If you're the type of person that likes to have your hands on "rare" things, I would suggest downloading the current version - within the next few weeks it will likely be gone for good.  

If you would like to hear the song there's a music player right here on the blog. Or if you'd like, you can listen on my RevebNation artist page.

Here are the lyrics:


Killer on the Loose

If you see me coming your way, you might want to run and hide,
Not that it will matter much, I’ll be coming at you like the tide,
I’m the nightmare when you sleep, be it near or far away,
And if I get you in my sights, this will be your final day,

I’m a killer on the loose, tonight
Killer on the loose...

Here’s something you may not know, I’ve got a trophy from every kill,
Before you step outside tonight, you might want to write up a will,
You won’t know what’s happening, until it is much too late,
Once I stick the knife into your side, you’ve made your last mistake,

I’m a killer on the loose, tonight
Killer on the loose...

If it seems there’s something wrong, when you are inside your home,
In the darkest hours of the night, when you are all alone,
I’ll be standing next to you, a stranger in the bloodstained clothes,
Sliding the blade across your neck, and that’s when you will know,
I’m the nightmare when you sleep, be it near or far away,
And if I get you in my sights, this will be your final day.

I’m a killer on the loose,
Killer on the loose...

  1. Dude, amazing tune. And I totally hear you about mic confidence. It's amazing how important mic performance is, and how long it takes to master. But you're doing pretty damn good already. Almost like Bob Dylan meets Tom Waits. Love it!
