Yeah, it really sounds like one of his more recent songs. The story sounds like bullshit too but I gave him the benefit of the doubt since I can't see why would he actually bother making this stuff up? Then I read: "Three months ago, I was advised by my personal manager and life coach to finally let people hear it, to resolve the nightmare" and it almost makes sense cos who knows what Eugene Landry shit's going on with Andrew WK right now?
If the story's true then I hope can forget all the angst it's caused him because it's great. It's powerful and over the top while still being at heart a simple rock song. I'd like to hear Bonnie Tyler doing it.

sounds bowie-like, like something off Labyrinth.

OK, the "I'm not me!" shit 6 months ago was one thing, this is just WEIRD. Is this guy touched in the head or something? Whoever mentioned Marissa Marchant upthread was OTM.

I hope this is the "Willow" song Desdemona sings before her death in "Othello."

Goes with the stalker-ish sentiments of "This is My World" and "I Want Your Face".

That baritone doesn't sound like any 17 year old I've ever heard. Maybe Rick Astley.

"Harm / that's what you're in for / if you don't open the door"
YIKES!
I had a crush on a girl and was deeply and passionately fixated on her. She had a baby face, a 14-tooth smile, large eyes, a crowned forehead, an oversized brow and a tender style.
What's a "14-tooth smile"?!?
