And it’s hard to explain away---- what happened to you and I
A slow entanglement---- of dreams and desire
And the world was born---- in a ball of fire, a ball of fire…

A second ghost story, but of a different sort. Once again in Hungarian Minor.

It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.

October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.
Uploaded
October 2023 B-side? Halloween/spooky music always calls for theremin. I don't have a thermin, so I made do with what I had.
Uploaded
October 2023 C-side? Because it was appropriate for the monthly theme, I decided to butcher a song I wrote in 2005.
