Renfield's Dream

Story Behind The Song

Thank you for you thoughts on "Renfield's Dream" as that song is near and dear to my heart. Several years ago I had just purchased a new Key board, I set it up, plugged it in and wrote the song pretty much as it is, as though it were just there waiting for me. The lyrics came from a scene in the 1931 Bela Lugosi version of Dracula where the in mate of an insane asylum relates his account of the vampires visit.

A haunting effort with earnest guitar work, this track pulls from a variety of post-punk and dark wave/goth elements. Notably: Red Lorry Yellow Lorry/Gang Of Four/The Cure. Cheers!

Happy/ up lifting

If I had hair I would be throwing it around. Well played hard rock with a good melody and lyrics. Interesting quality in lead singers voice - liked it.

Egdy 80s themed rock track. Nice driving lead guitar and varied movements within the song

Nice work! Great hook and clear enough sound.The melody line was very catchy.

sounds way more pop than goth,,,, weird its more happy than dark?

Well written, very meaningful lyrics, well sung and well performed. A great overall track!

great song good production

not my genre but sounds like a lot of genius and creativity

lyrically dark track. with quite a uptempo melody
interesting lyrics and style of the song. catchy chorus

I liked this song. The guitar lead at the end of the song really helped to make this song shine.

This one really grabs me, like I am being lured in. I like it.
