about

First released in 2014 and my first venture into singing is CREATURES. Written almost immediately following A TIME AND A PLACE, I binged a lot of 80s horror including all Nightmare On Elm Street movies, Friday The 13th and of course Halloween where I discovered John Carpenter's songwriting.

CREATURES is a homage to these classic horror movies where low budget films became cult icons - something I could identify with my bedroom productions - and became a precursor to my 2021 track AFRAID OF THE DARK.

Thanks for listening! 🖤

lyrics

Gravity slips as the creatures awake
Are you ready for the nightmare to start?
Keeping one eye fixed to the foot of your bed
They're coming here to take you and tear you apart

Sink down lower to the sheets, your heart is racing to the beat
Hear the scratching of their claws down the hall
See the shadow creeping through the light from under your door
There's something seeping through the cracks in the walls

Don't you ever look back
Cause I can feel the creatures coming
Don't you ever look back
Cause they're coming for you

Is there anybody out there?
I'm praying for the morning light
Cause I know when the sun comes up
Everything's gonna be alright
And when I think that I'm finally free
They never sleep, they'll never stop
They'll keep on following me

Don't you ever look back
Cause I can feel the creatures coming
Don't you ever look back
Cause they're coming for you

The night is almost over, find your way back home
Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there at all?

Don't you ever look back
Cause I can feel the creatures coming
Don't you ever look back
Cause they're coming for you

Don't you ever look back
Cause I can feel the creatures coming
Don't you ever look back
Cause they're coming for you
