She Walks in Beauty in the Night (early demo)

This is an early demo of my new song "She Walks in Beauty in the Night". The lyrics below are in flux and the vocals are a first take. I'm working more on the demo, recording new vocals, adding some fills, and making a video in time for Halloween, but hopefully sooner. I programmed the Ample Guitar LP electric guitar VST3 as the main guitar on the track, and added the powerdrumkit VST3 that Chris mentioned to augment my existing drum track. I may also solicit an engineer from an online gig site to help improve the mix EQ on my next demo.

song from my forthcoming fictional horror novel "Omega's Dark: The Transference"

--Verse 1
I know it's no secret
To anyone who knows me that I love this girl
She's a sorceress
With darkness in her soul

--Verse 2
She gets to my heart with kisses
Her way with words
The scent of her skin and her sweet charms
She's the lightnin' in the storm

--Pre-chorus 1
Her dark hair spills one hand past shoulders length
and shines in full moonlight
When the sun has set 
And twilight turns to night she comes alive

--Chorus
No power or god will matter
No force on earth
Once Hedra's mind is made
The wicked lives will shatter
And when her will is done
There's hell to pay
It's much too late for sorry
Her blood moon's in the sky
And she walks in beauty in the night

--Verse 3
I'm mortal man of flesh
Not sand or stone
My heart and bones are hers to take
She's the one inside my soul, the one I crave

--Verse 4
She holds my heart in her hands
In the wink of an eye
All life is hers to own or break
She's the one of fire and flame

--Pre-chorus 2
Her raven locks fall down past shoulders length
And shimmer in the night
When the moon has come
Her curse in tongues becomes nocturnal fire

(repeat chorus, then to bridge)

--Bridge
Her beauty passes all creation
It's wondrous at night
She's Heaven and she lasts forever
Through eternity with her dark eyes

(repeat chorus 1x then outro)

--Outro
She is the breath of love
The one who walks
In beauty in the night
She is the taste of love
The one who walks
In beauty in the night
She is the face of love
The one who walks
In beauty in the night
She is the bliss of love
The one who walks
In beauty in the night

  • Love the way you linger on "And she walks in beauty in the night" - I think that's my favorite part, though I like outro too.

    Good stuff.

  • Joseph,

    This is a fabulous song in the making. I love some of your chord progressions here, and I'm so glad you made use of the drum vsti I suggested. This song has so much potential. I can almost here it with some guitar power chords. Not to turn it into a rock song, but just to give it a bit more edge. I think this is brilliant.😀

    Thanks for listening and your good comments @ElvisNash! I took your advice and boosted the vox in the current rough demo mix. I'm recording the vocals cleaner and stronger for the full demo. The current vox were just a quick and dirty first take for practicing. I drive around in my SUV singing to it to the top of my lungs. LOL! Now to find the perfect pretty brunette for my video as the one who walks in beauty in the night. There's no shortage of beautiful brunette models to choose from.

    Looking forward to your next song, man!

    I get the same crap , Go sing in the car , I'm tired of hearing that song , From Mrs Hitler , on ( occasion )

    Nope plenty of them, On we will never look like you from Walmart girls . I like the Asian models you can date for older men ads , You to can have a 25 -year old for the right price and a KI visa .  Yes perfect pretty brunettes . Mister I hope your quick on your feet , Baby they're fast.

  • LOL! I'm not sure what some of that means, but maybe it's the Jack Daniels talking. 😂🤣 LOL! If you mean life is all about plenty of pretty women, lots of money, and good health to enjoy both, I'm onboard with all of that! 😀

    Cheers,

    Joseph

    Yes , after the rant , basically lol. 10's on a waiting list

  • Hi @icystorm


    Long time no speaky! 🤪


    This is dripping with 80's rock drive and style with that unrelenting bass. Your vocal is your best to my ears. The lyrics read (and more importantly sing) very well. It also flies by and rewards repeat listens - great work!


    I hope your project is coming along well.


    All the best,


    CCB

    Thanks, Lee! It's great to hear from you! I appreciate you listening and your comments and well wishes! I'm working more on this one, recording new vocals, and adding some fills. I hope to have a video ready before Halloween. I'm working on the book, too, as time permits. Hopefully by 2025!

    I will make my way over to Soundcloud this evening and catch up on your latest songs there! I always enjoying hearing tracks from @CorkingCrackBand!

    Cheers,

    Joseph
