Imagine...the woods. Maine. #Curling. Draw your own dots and story.

I used curling terminology in almost every line. For reference: https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/curling-101-glossary. I tried to make it so that the line would make sense for curling AND in the frame of a story. (An open one.)

Super fun. Took way longer than I planned. Would love to fine-tune it more. But we're done, for now.

Lyrics

Rings at night Less less light Draw it right A button in sight

Night house - grab your stones! Night house - draw from you bones! Night house - tee like glass! Night house - the freeze shall pass!

Swingy or straight A shot to take Out and raise This sheet’s our fate

Night house - grab your stones! Night house - draw from you bones! Night house - tee like glass! Night house - the freeze shall pass!

Hurry hurry hurry Curl curl steal The night’s alive At our Bonspiels

Skip sees the tee The rock and me Raise it now For all to see

But if you don’t weight it With your force fading To the night Everything'll be alright

Good night, Bonspiels Good night.

This seems like the theme song of a show my daughter would tell me is way too scary for me to listen to. Then that change to the party in the dark woods vibe. I noticed that I heard This freeze ahall pass as This three shall pass. I kept expecting Bonspiel to be Bonfire - and the mistaken expectations added extra emphasis to the new word.

This is awesome! And danceable! You created this cool otherworldly kind of world. I love the guitar tone and the riff you transition to in the slower part when that drum groove kicks in. That's a satisfying moment. Love the line "This sheet's our fate." The owl made me smile. Good night ...

@edwinb 1d

Ha, this is brilliant! Seeing the comments it came from, it covers everything!

@blowupradio 1d

This came out so good! The music, the melody, the lyrics, it really painted a visual in my head... someone lost in the woods, overlayed with people curling on a frozen river. This is perfection!

@nadine 1d

This turned out awesome. Its one of those lyrics when you know, you know..otherwise its a mystery. The xylophone is a great choice

The owl 😂 The xylophone! Also I think I've learned more about curling terminology from this song than the whole Winter Olympics. Absolutely fabulous – well done!

Fascinated by the way you using curling as an allegory to discuss something so deep.

I'm no dancer, but this made me want to dance. It also made me want to walk through the woods and search for that owl I keep hearing at night. Play it again.

Those echoing vocals on the bridge brought a tear to my eye. Really accentuated the shift to a minor key.

I wasn't sure where you were going with that xylophone intro, but it really worked!!! Rock on!!
