Where it comes from: "Under Watchful Eyes" lyrics

Everyone has people they come across in their lives that give them the creeps. For one reason or another, some people make us feel uneasy by what they say or how they behave. We wonder what is going on in their heads, oftentimes without much thought. Sometimes though, we imagine what they're thinking about. We go down that road. We don't like it. We shudder and go back to our happy places, trying to forget about those who unnerve us. I chose to go down that road and stayed there for a while, until I came up with the lyrics for "Under Watchful Eyes."

Sean started with some great lyrics about looking out the window, pondering someone we don't particularly have warm, fuzzy thoughts about, and it got me thinking about someone who sends a shiver down my spine (and no, I'm not sharing who that is here!). My aim was to get YOU thinking about who gives YOU the willies, without being too specific. After all, the best horror flicks let the audience's minds fill in the blanks, rather than shock you with gore.

So visit our music page, download "Under Watchful Eyes," and let your mind wander to that certain someone who makes you look over your goose-bumped shoulder.

New track is out!

Hey all, 

It's been a while, but Strange Land is happy to let you know our first new track since 2009 is out now. You can download "Under Watchful Eyes" for free, or chip in a little to help the cause. Get high quality versions, including FLAC, here http://strangeland.bandcamp.com/track/under-watchful-eyes or grab the 192 bitrate mp3 from our RN page. Thanks for sticking with us, we'd love to hear from you. Let us know what you think of the tune!

This is the first new track from Strange Land since becoming a studio duo. We're working parallel paths, finding ourselves writing both stripped down songs, and playing in the studio sandbox more than ever. This one is on the stripped down side. We're releasing the songs one by one as 'pay what you want' downloads, and you can have them for free if you like. Once we have enough material out we'll put together an album package with some special bonuses. Obscurity is the enemy, that's why we want you to have the track for free. All we ask is that if you can't chip in 50 cents or a buck, share the song with your friends. 

Wishing you all a brilliant holiday season, 

Sean and Brad
