A free weekend in a creaky old house turned into a recording session.
Amber Le Fay Moon improvising a poem over musical riffs - and then the track took shape.
lyrics
Where's the strange animal live
Strange animal
Where is the strange animal
It is hunting
It is howling
It is creeping (strange animal)
Are we wild ?
Are we strange ?
Is it coming ?
Can you feel it in your veins ?
Hunting...
Primal... and unfettered.
Scenting the air
Pounding the earth
This chase begins
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
This chase begins
Teeth baring
Tearing through shadows
snarled lip
Bow string nerves
Claws and fir and glittering eyes
Coming for you
Run, run
Heart pounding, lungs bursting (devour)
Where are you?
I sense you
Closer and closer.
