Wall of Mystery: Part 2

This is a song written by Rick that will likely end up on our next album.

Here's the original demo recorded alone by Rick on an acoustic guitar:

After a week, the band reconvened an produce its own demo.  It's interesting to hear the added dynamic from a full 5-piece setup.  Along with the additional instruments, the other four members added backing vocals and there is a musical bridge written by Sameer.

Months later, the band has been recording and re-recording parts to the song with some new effects, strings, and a fantastic oboe solo by guest performer Liz Schlueter!
