Every now and again, I stumble across a song that latches onto me and becomes an obsession. I hit the repeat button, I go back to seek it out at random times, and long before my fascination fades, I've got it memorized nuance by nuance. This is one of my most recent obsession songs, and fair warning, it's creepy:
Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) - Aurora
The atmosphere combined with the song and Aurora's piercing voice ... it's pretty much perfect. The acoustic version is also haunting, but I love the beat and ethereal sound effects here.
Who is the "he" in this song? And is the song even meant to be taken literally, or is some abstract part of the singer dying? That's up to the listener.
About Me

I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes.
