This song has been living in my head for 20+ years. I talked about it with different bands but for one reason or another, we never got around to working on it—and honestly, I’m glad. The arrangement I ended up with now fits the lyrics in a way I couldn't have imagined back then.
The idea was born while I was traveling for work, spending time with colleagues up in New England. They’ve got their own way of talking, and after a few drinks we got into a whole conversation about the word “Wicked.” Somewhere in that haze, someone joked that I should write a lullaby. Maybe they were serious, maybe it was just bar-talk—but it stuck. And that’s how “Wicked Lullaby” got its name.
Fun fact: Marked explicit over one single word… but I wouldn’t change it. That line is the reason the song exists in the first place. The original riff actually ended up in another song I’ll be releasing later.
Proud of this one. Hope you enjoy the ride. - Mastered by mixea.commore
