She was an animal

A fun song about telepathy.
The chorus came to me in a dream, music and lyrics fully formed.
I recorded it straight away on my smartphone, I still have the recording somewhere. It’s happening sometimes you dream of music and it sounds incredibly good, but as you wake up it’s all gone and you feel quite disappointed. 

Well, this time around I had the full remembrance of the chorus and could fix it on tangible media.


I had no idea what it was all about at first and had to figure out what to write for the verses and middle part to give flesh to the story. I made it about fantasies, repressed desires, connecting telepathically with another to try and fulfill the impossible. The whole thing is of a bit tongue in cheek of course, is great fun to play live and a crowd pleaser.


The initial guitar solo I came up with was a bit more intricate, but in the end the simpler version fitted the whole song better and I had to make every guitarist’s dreaded choice to pick what’s best for the song and not what satisfies the guitar ego. Oh well. Sigh.
