Absolutely sick beat on this. Yet another song I could write to all day, every day.

I met him, fifteen years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding; and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.

One more Herbie tune. This one is a little wonky at first with what i think is an alto flute? Bear with it. lol

Funny quote from the comments on the youtube page:

Jesse Clark3 said:
Playing this song on a bluetooth speaker while making food at the restaurant I work at. Don't realize that everybody in the restaurant can also hear it. Everybody ultimately perplexed at the sounds. Somebody thinks an alarm is going off. Manager comes back and says "Turn this shit off, old people can't listen to this kind of shit." I say, jokingly, "This is 'old people music', Fred." He stalks off. I don't turn off the song. By this point, the strange sounds have stopped. Fred returns with a vengeance in any case, pulling the speaker and phone unplugged from the wall in a rage, taking his spoils to the office with him. Now we aren't allowed to have a speaker in the kitchen with us. Thanks a lot, Herbie.​


Also this cool anecdote:

Joseph Miller said:
I lived next door to Herbie when he was Composing this song, Chameleon... and many others... but his studio was behind his house and I could stand out in the Moonlight in my Driveway and hear the subtones of this all coming together a piece at a time. Great times. Great Memories.​
