This song makes me nostalgic for Halloween 1998. The local oldies station would play spooky-adjacent music and ghost stories the last week of October and this song popped on in the car and genuinely sounded so unhinged, driving on a pitch black road at 8pm, the crisp scent of dead leaves leaking through the windows, and rising on the back of the vague sense of fragile mortality that "Bad Moon Rising" had left me with.
This doesn't have anything to do with the post, I just got rocketed back to being eleven and easily rattled for a second.
Shout out to The Night Has A Thousand Eyes playing that night and giving me a twenty year obsession with stalker/possessive songs that sound deceptively happy
