about

I had recorded and completed this new song, for my upcoming album. The album version will vary significantly from this singles version, and will include a button accordion lead instrument and "normal" vocals.

The track you are listening to here grew from album discarded tracks (three vocals, rhythm and slide guitar. I decided to play around with these tracks and got excited about an alternate version.

I altered the vocal pitch, on all three tracks, recorded bass tracks, one which included backward effects, and added orchestral percussion, along with some other creepy audio parts.

lyrics

MR JELLYMAN
words and music by Johnny Stephen Zawacki

A chill I can feel, the goosebumps they rise
As a darkness envelopes this place
His breath I can feel, though his body it hides
He's there but I can't see his face

But I know there's someone, from my skin as it crawls
More than once I've confirmed that it's true
So, don't close your eyes, it's not safe for your soul
When the Jellyman comes 'round for you

Mr Jellyman lurks in the shadows of night
He'll prey on the weak and the small
But make no mistake, he's a huge appetite
And he'll go after any and all

So, I'm hiding my vest. as the specter roams 'round
No escape, no comfort to share
As the Jellyman searches I want not be found
Not of this - no, I want it ne'er

So, I'm telling you now, beware and forewarned
That the Jellyman will come for you
Don't let your guard down, when he's taking his form
Cuz there'll be nothing that you can o

Mr Jellyman lurks in the shadows of night
He'll prey on the weak and the small
But make no mistake, he's a huge appetite
And he'll go after any and all
Oh, make no mistake, he's a huge appetite
And he'll go after any and all
Yes, He'll go after any and all
