"I
mastered this release without the heavy use of compression and limiters
in hopes to preserve it's musical dynamics. Ultimately, giving the
track more head room to properly breath. I personally feel that the
'loudness war' is over. Musical dynamics wins every time in my book." ~

Alice's Last Halloween is based off of a screenplay that we started writing 10 years back but never finished. So we found it only fitting, being songwriters at heart, that we try to tell you the story in a 4 and a half minute pop song!
It's a story song about an urban legend, that we heard as kids, that Halloween candy can sometimes be tampered with in order to cause harm to those who eat it. All of this is centered around a character we created named Alice Crowley.
Alice's Last Halloween was composed in the key signature of Ebm Minor.
Verse One:
She looked like an older version of Bette Davis or Liz Taylor
Yeah she could have been a movie star
but in this town no one gets too far
It was 1982, I was probably seven then,
We lived in a little town called Monongahela
Chorus:
It was Alice's last Halloween
I saw the knife and I heard her scream
The neighborhood was an angry mob
A museum of the macabre
Alice's last Halloween
A wicked witch with an evil scheme
Now children of the Mon Valley
are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley
Verse Two:
A cold night in late October carving pumpkins on All Hallows Eve
I was dressed as Bozo the Clown
Trick or tricking as the sun went down
She was passing out home baked goods, to the children of the neighborhood
It was a night that I'll always remember
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse Three:
Found a needle in my candy apple, broken glass in my Hershey's bar
My sister Helen found a razor blade in the cookies that Alice made
The word spread like wild fire, urban legend turned living hell
What exactly happened that night, Alice never lived to tell
(Repeat Chorus)
Ad-Lib:
Alice's last Halloween, ghosts and goblins kill the queen.
Alice's last Halloween, Alice's last Halloween

Verse One: Well I've been through too many nights with you to give you up without a fight and I don't know if I could learn to let you go But I don't wanna try tonight
Lead In 1: You're always turning away You don't hear me say, "I wanna be around forever" Maybe this time you will see that you and I should be together
Chorus: No one else could ever love you more than I do, no way No one else could ever give you the love you need, oh and Day or night when you're out of sight, you're never out of mind, oh and No one else could ever love you more than I do, not like me
Verse Two: They say people change, just go their separate ways But I don't believe they really do, and Time moves on, yet I know that when you're gone I'll still be pining over you
Lead In 2: You've got the world in your eyes And you say goodbye before they realize you're leavin' Maybe this time you won't go 'cause you already know the reason

Fun Facts: Heaven Discotheque was a dancing nightclub that was open from 1979 to 1984 in the former Fulton Building in downtown
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. It was Pittsburgh's answer to New York City's Studio 54!
DJ's would spin disco, italo-disco, hi-nrg, top 40, new wave, and
dance-pop classics! Heaven had a 'no jeans / no t-shirt' dress policy
and often local celebrities would be turned away at the door if not
dressed accordingly. Heaven was the place to see and be seen! The who's
who of the greater Pittsburgh area would often frequent. It was high-tech and high fashion and its large grand marble staircase cemented its
place in the hearts of discotheque enthusiasts everywhere! Owner Richard
Stern sold his club in mid-1984 to Tom Hayson. Mr. Hayson then did a
half-million-dollar renovation on the place and renamed it 'Mirage'.

Verse One:
How come you're not talking to me anymore
We had a little fight and you pointed to the door
Lead In:
Now I toss and turn can't sleep at night
Without you nothing's right
Chorus:
Look what your love has done to me
I'm on the edge of insanity
I simply refuse to believe we're through
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
Verse Two:
I'm driving by your house most every, every day
I was looking through the window when I saw his face
Lead In 2:
Now I tell myself that I'm alright
My love for you has turned to spite
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
And I'm mad at the world and I'm mad at myself
I'm mad that you're in love with somebody else
You've brought me to this now I think I'm going crazy
Break down:
Look what you love has done to me
Pre-Chorus:
Look what your love has done
Look what your love has done
Last Chorus:
Look what your love has done to me
I'm on the edge of insanity
People say I've gone a little bit cuckoo
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
