Under Her Hypnosis is a song I wrote and recorded last summer.🎵 It's about a guy who falls under the spell of the adorable enchantress, Hedra. While in love with Hedra, he rudely tells off his ex-girlfriend and cruelly shames her. Of course, Hedra controls his mind and made him do it! 😲😮😱
My mix of the track is muddy, and the guitars and drums are obviously too loud and dominant in the mix. Those are facets of the production I will work on and refine in the final demo. Plus, I can imagine a new music video that supports the song's story in a better way. Yet, I love the lead actress in the preliminary video below! ;D

song from my forthcoming horror novel "Omega's Dark: The Transference"
--Verse 1
You used to be a lovely girl
Sorta lonely, kinda cute in your own way
Now that's in the past
And lost with yesterday
--Verse 2
You used to be the special one
With a radiance you made all faces smile
Now that didn't last
You've only tears to cry
Pre-chorus 1
My new love is a mega-force
She's got me, she's the one
Her draw is an attraction
With the pull 'n power of a thousand suns
--Chorus
I'm into her like a comet's tail I chase behind
Our love storm's like a winter's blizzard white-out leaves me blind
She comes and moves in her spirit
Her love takes us high
Up off the ground
Far beyond the clouds
I'm under her hypnosis now
--Release
She comes and moves and her water sends me higher now
--Verse 3
You used to be so fun to kiss
Sorta clever, kinda new in your own way
But that's over now
That ship has sailed away
--Verse 4
You used to be the only one
With a perfect whisper wrapped in love so shy
But you're over now
You've many tears to dry
--Pre-chorus 2
My new love is the only force
Behind her there's no one
Her call is an attraction
With the pull 'n power of a million suns
(repeat chorus/release)
--Bridge
Bliss is the lost state of mind
An illusion in the sky
I'm out of orbit chasing her
Past the moons of Neptune
Drawn into her light
(repeat chorus x1)
-- outro
She comes and moves and her water sends me higher now
(you're under my hypnosis now)
She comes and moves and her water brings me higher love
(you're under my hypnosis now)
She comes and moves and her water sends me higher now
(you're under my hypnosis now)
She comes and moves and her water brings me higher love
(you're under my hypnosis now)
Quote from: Vicki on Jul 04, 2025, 10:21 PMI find the song energetic and engaging. Opportunities for improvement: I only remember noticing one thing--there was a place where the word "the" was emphasized more than what I consider the important words in the sentence. It's just before the 2:45 mark "Bliss is the lost state of mind". I think of "bliss", "state" and "mind" being the strongest words, with "lost" a close second and the remaining three words as meriting the least stress.
I like the frenetic feel of the instrumentation.
@Vicki — Many thanks for listening, your kind works, and your constructive critique. All are much appreciated! 🎵 :D
Kind regards,
Joseph
