So why do I LOVE this mess? First and foremost, the lyrics. Second, the key change up between the verses and chorus (very 80's, very cool). And finally, the fact that her angry vocal ("In the paintings on the wall, she says, 'There it is'...") IS VERY GRUFF and all over the place.

The demo we have seems to skip in places, which sucks because it is a very short song. But I adore it and believe she could turn the muddy mess that I love into a powerhouse rock ballad.

BTW - Is there a better, clean copy of "Night Galley" out there? One that doesn't skip? I never heard of anything else regarding this song surfacing when we got all those master reels many years ago.

I wouldn't exactly call it a song. I would call it a sophisticated mood piece with a great vocal. Very dark and delicious.
