come one come all ... free "red death ball"

hey everyone!

in honor of being stereofame's june "artist of the month"
i made the acoustic version of "red death ball" available for free download for the month of June!!!

go to stereofame http://www.stereofame.com/hanapestle

i got the idea for this song after reading an edger allen poe short story called "The Masque of the Red Death"
about a Prince's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey.

my song is a twist on that...

here are the lyrics to "red death ball":

***

nothing much to see,
but a sad, sad, girl
in purple polka dots
and her long black curls.
she sorts the sad remains
of her broken baby dolls
such delicate delight
in the red death ball.

but they don't see...

if only for a friend,
maybe one she'd spare
after mommy by her hand,
even daddy didn't care
she locked away the dark
and waited for the day

she could play

there's nowhere to run
and no one can hide
come one, come all
to the red death ball

like pawns in play,
we all fall down
so come one come all
to the red death ball

the taste of 23,
the time had come
the invitation read:
Drink, Dance, and Fun!
the guests they filled the hall
as she succumbs to lusts for gore

our hostess locked the door...

the screams were heard for miles
the sight no one believed
she dreamed that they would bleed
but dreams can much deceive
the scarlet river flowed
now our villain is free

not one survived...

there's nowhere to run
and no one can hide
come one, come all
to the red death ball

like pawns in play,
we all fall down
so come one come all
to the red death ball

and as she danced
they took her down
among what was left of them
(away she went)

but they don't see....

there's nowhere to run
and no one can hide
come one, come all
to the red death ball

like pawns in play,
we all fall down
so come one come all
to the red death ball

nothing much to see,
but a sad, sad girl
in purple polka dots
and her long black curls

***

have a great day!!!

Love the sound, piano and viola. And your voice is beautiful. I see you're coming to Denver in July -- I'm going to try to get some friends out to see you.

Is that anything like the "Happy Fun Ball" as advertised on Saturday Night Live?
