Story behind the song
A song about growing up, discovering light can turn to dark, the many shades of grey, and that ultimately we have to strive to become the author of our own destiny - we all have to keep our own darkness away because there won't always be someone there to protect us.
Lyrics
Good Night Alice She knows that words are sometimes cheap But only words can walk so deep Into the dark, confusing hallways of her tired mind. A mirror shatters in her hand Another seven years are planned Chasing the dream of lost reflections she will never find Good night, good night Alice Good night, good night Alice What's in store (what's in store)? When the predatory darkness comes a-calling at your door Was once upon a time ago In twilight shades of indigo Lost in the turning pages of a solitary tale Now when her demons come to play She never hides or runs away Guiding the fateful writer's hand she knows she must not fail. Good night, good night Alice Good night, good night Alice What's in store (what's in store)? When the predatory darkness comes a-calling at your door (Anybody out there?) Good night, good night Alice Good night, good night Alice What's in store (what's in store)? When the predatory darkness comes a-calling at your door Copyright 2006 Rodrica Rudge All rights reserved

Ok gain A+ vox The song I agree with Keith-compressor/tape sim. I have been trying out many such VST's and so far sounds not so hot still learning, I want my 8 track tape recorder back serious. Digital not a big fan, but music has changed so much. Song brilliant work

One of my long time fav's here, Such a Brilliantly written story along with the S.Dynamic Pro class playing & sound. Vocally it always somehow reminds me so much of KarenCarpenter my all-time fav star!
