Originally a very different song, slowed to a dragging pace and laced with dense moans of twisted agony. There's a little bit of John MacDonald on lead guitar in the build too.

This is the first real attempt at recording this properly and its got some way to go. It needs a guitar solo and vocoders and so on. But this is some of what I did in my 24 hour slot. I battled with my vocoders and lost :(

"Burning Anna Rose" is a murder ballad. it's about a man who's love takes him out to get him drunk and in so doing, seals her own fate. Despite killing here on a snowy, winter afternoon he knows they'll always be together.

here we are, for the very first time

here we are in my bedroom all alone…

The flute on this piece is done by a very gifted flute player by the name of Melinda Eckels. You will hear Melinda on any of the songs where I use flute. Her abilities have spoiled me so, that I can never use keyboard or my limited flute skills…
