Story Behind The Song

I was just messing around with some sound effects one day and ran accross some swampy sounding loops and it inspired me to write this song.

Song Description

Very spooky song about the fear of venturing into the swamp in the middle of the night. It fits no standard genre. I call it Cajun Funk. Many eerie sound effects are used, instilling a sense of trepedation in the listner. A funky bass line drives this song. The song is exciting yet spooky. It's definitely different than anything out there!

((Music Intro)

(v1)
It always makes me nervous
When I look into the sky
I see that full moon rising
As the daylight starts to die
That Loosi-ana Bayou
Takes on a whole new face
As shadows and black magic
Take o'er that haunted place

(v2)
Your skin will crawl with goose bumps
Your hair will stand on end
Static charges through the air
As the midnight sun sets in
The swamp takes on an aura
Like no man could ever know
As the Mistress of the Darkness
Casts her spell of ebb and flow

(Chorus)
Moonlight weaving shadows
As the critters play and romp
Bayous all flow backwards
When it's midnight in the swamp
When evil spirits moan their chant
Their sonnets chill and daunt
No mortal man should be there
When it's midnight in the swamp

(v3)
Nothing like you've ever heard
Wind passing through the threads
Plays its arcane symphony
On the silken spider webs
The swamp goes spooky silent
Just before it starts to shake
And in a pirogue left behind
Alligators dance with snakes

(v4)
When the moon starts falling
'Fore night breaks into day
A hush spreads cross the bayou
As the magic fades away
The eerie frolic ceases
As the daylight filters in
But it's just a few short hours
'Til the madness starts again

Repeat Chorus

(Music Outro)
