There's A Shadow

Guitar riff based song with a nu metal inspired chorus.

One man band with more patience than talent.
After my old 16 track got struck by lightning, it was time to go digital. The result is several years of slaving over a hot keyboard.

Story behind the song
After weeks of no inspiration, this popped out of nowhere. The chorus was culled from another song that I never finished, and it's been speeded up. Not sure if it works - let me know what you think.
Lyrics
I’m a stranger in my own town I’m lost without a clue A directionless blithering clown I’m falling in love with you You’re a danger to my health You’re making me sick as a dog I haven’t slept for many a night My mind is becoming a fog There’s a shadow hanging over me A great weight of uncertainty And it sucks the life right out of me Right out of me Not sure how long you’ll be mine I’m never on your mind I have my doubts you’ll be around When I’m ninety nine But I’ll take what I can While I’m still a young man You make me feel a little uneasy Maybe even queasy There’s a shadow hanging over me A great weight of uncertainty And it sucks the life right out of me Right out of me

Great song this - really good sound and infectious tune. Nice guitars too. I don't think it sounds like nu metal (thankfully) - reminds me more of Maximo Park without the accents. Which is good.
