about
No Reflection is a song that didn't quite make the cut for my 5th album, Character Witness. On that album I tried writing from the perspective of various figures; No Reflection sung by an immortal vampire who is tired of constantly having to restart his life.
This is a scrappy demo, a little rough around the edges, but I thought it would be fun to share for Halloween.
lyrics
I'm tired of starting again. Roll into the next town, waiting for the end.
New friends, I swear we've met before.
And it breaks my heart when they invite me in through the door.
I've seen it all before but no one really cares.
No reflection.
No looking back.
Fade away;
I remain left on my own.
Oh, constant hunter
Oh, potential reprieve
Have I been chasing you
while you're chasing me?
I've seen a million lives, it feels just like a curse.
No reflection.
No looking back.
Fade away;
I remain left on my own
Left on my own.

Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
