Banshee
By the Cavedwellers

I know that you care
But you are
Such a Cassandra

That might not be fair
I'd get lost
Without your candor

We live to tell
The dramas you create
A liar at will
Misfortune generates

You said you were worried about me
And I told you you were wrong
Then I heard the banshee wailing
All night long
You shouldn't be worried about me
And I told you you were wrong
Then I heard the banshee wailing
All night long

All of my friends
Will pretend
Not to avoid ya

I'd be remiss
To dismiss
Your paranoia

The harbinger looms
Waiting for her cue
Somewhere in the room
A devil wants his due

You said you were worried about me
And I told you you were wrong
Then I heard the banshee wailing
All night long
You shouldn't be worried about me
And I told you you were wrong
Then I heard the banshee wailing
All night long

It seems you were right
That tonight
I'd need my end game

I misalign
The traps
To force a stalemate

I can't begin
To relive my close call
The ghost or the wind
Echoes down the hall

You said you were worried about me
And I told you you were wrong
Then I heard the banshee wailing
All night long
You shouldn't be worried about me
And I told you you were wrong
Then I heard the banshee wailing
All night long

I really wish I could explain why, but that main riff (eight staccato eighth notes, two dotted quarters and a quarter) gets on my nerves. Which is a shame, because it comes up a lot in this song. Everything else about it is fine - I like your lyrics, the lyrical phrasing in your chorus, the "banshee" background vocals (and the shaker that accompanies them), and the a cappella breakdown (although I agree with j$ that it seems a little forced-in). The vocal breakdown reminds me a lot of Eddiebangs' "Troublemaker," which is a good thing in my book. I keep trying to describe what it is about that main riff that bugs me, but I'm just dancing about architecture here. Sorry. I'm glad you survived a low ranking from me.
