Great at Cowboy (Extended) - Demo
🕑 Added 2022-09-03 21:24:47 +0000 UTCA work-in-progress vocal demo of the full version of Zora's credits song, Great at Cowboy. In case it isn't obvious, this is an abstracted version of Zora's backstory.
----
At the stroke of sundown
There's a shadow in the wood
Not sure what she's up to
But you know it ain't no good
She's a demon, she's a devil,
she's a rough-and-tumble rebel
Yeah, she's far beyond your level and
She's watching you...
Oooh, ooooh...
In the gloamy orange light
you won't live to see the night
In the woods you hear a whisper
Could it be the Phantom Drifter?
There's a chance you went n' missed her
Just don't turn around...
In a flash she's there behind you
Out of sight and out of mind
And now no one will ever find you
Buried six feet down...
Oooh, ooooh...
Staring at the sundown
A green flash of memory
In the lambent light I spy
My pa, my ma, and me
We were diggin’ for a dino
‘Neath a sunny morning sky, though
Lookin’ back now only I know
What it’s gonna be…
Oooh, ooooh...
From the dirt and bone and rock
They unearthed that golden box
And the Banzais came a-crawlin’
What they did then was appalling’
Golden hunger ever-callin’
Needing to be fed
And those yellow-bellied cowards
Saw that ma ‘n pa were showered
With a lead rain and the flowers
Were a blooming red
-- (whistle break) --
Summers full of sundowns
Winters flew by like the leaves
Little girl grew up alone
And learned to shoot the breeze
Moved from drillin’ on to killin’
Made her livin’ as a villain
Heart is broke, but body willing’
And the gun’s for hire
Someone said “Your gun misguided”
Had a fight that was one-sided
Eye-to-eye they both Kaleid-ed
Came down to the wire…
She’s a demon… she’s a devil…
Finally someone on her level
Found a bass to match her treble
Now she comprehends
And the dawn, she starts to brighten
Finally knows why she is fightin’
On her own she was a titan
Now she’s among friends…
Oooh, ooooh...

Love this whole thing. Having no AC knowledge, my mind is rattling with theories for her backstory based on those lines. Can't wait to hear the complete version!

Nice! I was wondering, is the plan to release all the extra kickstarter stuff (songs, hoodie..) first and have the actual book be the last thing to release, or will stuff be released in any order?

Amazing work! I really dig the cowboy campfire vibes you did with the song!

I hate that I can't see the word among the same anymore. I'm sorry, the song is great, I'm just ruined by the funky spacesuit game

your voice is incredible

Puts a bit of context on why she was brutal to bugsy. She wasn’t taking any chances
