Dark Company: Black Lite (alpha mix)

Black Lite by Dark Company. From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'. BLACK LITE I hear noises in the walls They don’t bother me at all There are voices in my head I never hear what is said I’m a well adjusted loon I only dance to my own tune A majority of one I’m a vagabond of fun All alone inside the bus Riding there without fuss All the moons have gone away Cos the night has turned to day World there in a tear drop A crystal liquid full stop Can you hear the rabid choir Singing liar, liar, liar Now and then I look around Just to see what’s going down Well past my sell-by date I am fashionably so late All I ask of the night Keep on shining your black lite All I ask of the sun Is please give me back the fun I hear noises in the walls They don’t bother me at all There are voices in my head I never hear what is said Lyrics by P. Greatorex May 7th-8th 2013. Music by G. Davies/P. Greatorex Copyright © 2013 D & G Music/Explicit Music. Cover Art: “In a Drop of Water” by Peter Greatorex.

FUN FACTS: * This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of. * His vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit. * Well, quite a lot actually. :) * At the end of the demo version, the bass continued on for a while alone. * It played some interesting things, which have been captured and sprinkled here and there throughout the song. * The whistley flutey sound that appears in the fade-out came from some ghost sounds in the guitar. * They weren't actually there, but were clearly audible during editing. * They simply had to be included. * The guitar to the left is the Zakk on the Ice Maiden and Barry is to the right on the ESP. * Somehow the demo for this started on the 3-beat rather than the 1-beat. * All the same, the feel worked perfectly with the electronic drum rhythm. * That rhythm was captured as a drum sample and moved half a bar, with the end chopped off and stuck on the beginning to make it a round 4-bar sample. * The sample appears here and there throughout the song. * DSK synths used include the Zith, the Zeth, the Oranze, and The Grand with a ton of reverb. * DSK synths are available for free here: https://www.dskmusic.com/ See also: https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/artists/dark-company/ https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/artists/dark-company/a-for-acronym-cd-1-snafu/ https://linktr.ee/dark.company https://www.explicitmusic.co.uk/lyrics-information/dark-company/a-for-acronym/black-lite
