A haunting track equipped with spurs, stomps and a love of death. This track was inspired by a series I had read about the love between Death and his daughters and occupants. The story and plot was so moving, I became slightly obsessed (not that I haven't ever been into polytheistic religions before) with the idea that Death was a mercy to life, for if we didn't die we would grow old and rot and always remain aware. I loved the idea that Death was in fact a physical thing that was always feared and misunderstood, much like the story of Hades. Why wouldn't death love it's spoils? Thus we have "The Watcher", the lullaby through Death's very own perspective. In all attempts to retain it's lulling qualities, I physically couldn't keep it soft enough for it to remain a simple "sing this to sleep" sort of thing, though it was my intention. I wanted to create a song that would be sung the way "Rock-a-bye baby", or "London bridges", or "Ring Around the Rosie" would be, where there meanings are morbid for a children's nursery rhyme and you grow up going, "what the hell were my parent's thinking?". But rather than scaring the young I really wanted to embody the story of love between us and death, making it more of a reassurance than a warning. In the end, I feel it started as a simple lullaby and ended as much more, and I hope you enjoy it.
