Another obsession this week. This time it's Jack's. I originally started this cover of "Jack’s Obsession" from The Nightmare Before Christmas as a straight remake for practice... but somewhere along the way, it morphed and I had some fun on the bass and guitar. Coming to the usual platforms very soon! Check here for updates and links or keep an eye on https://blake.so/r47 Danny Elfman's original is, of course, untouchably brilliant, so this is more of a lovingly unhinged half-tribute, half-improvisation. Think of it as a Halloween Town fever dream, part orchestral, part rock. Want to hear more of our music? Craving some extra spooky musical madness? Gloom Darkheart and I have a whole playlist full of them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLROcUs85n5LreuosHiC8kp9OJbF3DrXLg or find us on Spotify @ https://blake.so/spotify Lyrics: Something's up with Blake, something's up with Blake We tried to feed him but he's only eating cake... He's all alone up there, locked away inside Never says a word, hope he hasn't died Something's up with Blake, something's up with Blake! Christmas time is buzzing in my skull Will it let me be? I cannot tell There's so many things I cannot grasp When I think I've got it and then at last Through my bony fingers it does slip Like a snowflake in a fiery grip Something here, I'm not quite getting Though I try, I keep forgetting Like a memory long since past Here in an instant, gone in a flash What does it mean, what does it mean? In these little bric-a-brac A secret's ready to be cracked These dolls and toys confuse me so Confound it all, I love it though Simple objects, nothing more But something's hidden through a door Though I do not have the key Something's here I cannot see What does it mean, what does it mean? What does it mean? Hmm I've read the Christmas books so many times I know the stories and I know the rhymes I know the Christmas carols all by heart My skull's so full it's tearing me apart As often as I've read them, something's wrong So hard to put my bony finger on Or perhaps it's really not as deep as I've been led to think Am I trying much too hard? Of course, I've been too close to see The answer's right in front of me Right in front of me! It's simple, really, very clear Like music drifting in the air Invisible but everywhere Just because I cannot see it Doesn't mean I can't believe it You know I think this Christmas thing Is not as tricky as it seems And why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone Not anyone, in fact, but me Why I could make a Christmas tree And there's no reason I can find I couldn't have a Christmas time I bet I could improve it, too And that's exactly what I'll do Hee hee hee hee Eureca, I've got it! #cover #tbrso #jacksskellington #nightmarebeforechristmas #dannyelfman #earlyhalloweenmusic #halloweenmusic
