Hello all! This will be going live tomorrow on Youtube as my video for the month of October. This song was such a fun one to cover—Danny Elfman has always been a hero of mine. I extended the original a little bit with an instrumental verse since it's really quite short without it.

My next move is to start on my cover of a Chappell Roan song. I'm always hesitant to share what I'm attempting next in case it doesn't work out, but for transparency's sake, I will be tackling Pink Pony Club! I'm a good way through the lyrics and there's lots of meat on that bone to work with, but the instrumental is a bit intimidating. Stay tuned!

Aside from that, I would love to provide another ambient fantasy piece for you all soon. I've had some requests for a tavern vibe, but if you have any specific desires please let me know in the comments.

Wishing you all the very best!

I had a lot of fun altering the art of Lucy of Syracuse to look like her. The Art: MS M.399, fol. 334v Da Costa hours Illuminated by Simon Bening (1483/84–1561) Image courtesy of Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt, Graz/Austria. The Lyrics: I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enthusiastic cloud Try as I may, it doesn't last And will we ever end up together? No, I think not, it's never to become For I am not the one
