Timber Timbre – Demon Host

I suppose it’s appropriate that with Halloween weekend around the corner, I post the most haunting song I’ve heard this year; I promise this wasn’t planned, it just sort of happened.  On a side-note, I remember using that line on an ex-girlfriend, after showing up to meet her parents hungover and still wearing clothes from the previous night, but I digress.  Demon Host comes to us from the Brooklin, Ontario indie-folk/blues artist Timber Timbre (Taylor Kirk).  The song can be found on Timber Timbre’s self-titled 2009 PolarisPolaris reviews long-listed release.  IMPORTANT:  until midnight this Saturday (Halloween), the album is available as a FREE download off of Timber Timbre’s website here.  So go download it, and take it to the Halloween party you’re attending.

Death she must have been your will
A bone beneath the reaper’s veil
With your voice my belly sunk
And I began to feel so drunk
Candle candle on my clock
Oh lord I must have heard you knock me out of bed
As the flames licked my head and my lungs filled up black in their tiny little shack
It was real and I repent
All those messages you sent clear as day, but in the night
Oh I couldn’t get it right
Here is a church and here is a steeple
Open the doors there are the people
And all their little hearts at ease
For another week’s disease
And eagle eagle talon scream
I never once left in between
I was on the fence and I never wanted your two cents
Down my throat in the pit, with my head upon the spit
Oh reverend please can I chew your ear? I have become what I most fear
And I know there’s no such thing as ghosts but I have seen the demon host…
