about

Invoking powerhouses like Big Mama Thornton and Amy Winehouse, Bassels’ deep and sultry Halloween friendly jazz/blues track tells the story of a strong, powerful woman who falls in love with the Big Bad Wolf and is led down a dark path. However, through Bassels’ badass blues vocals, big range, and strong, effected electric guitars reminiscent of The White Stripes, she convinces us that she’ll take care of business next time a Big Bad Wolf comes “sniffin’ round.”

lyrics

If it talks
With a tongue made of silver
Make your legs shake and shiver
So bad your feet can’t walk

If it walks
With the feet of a dancer
You can bet that the chances are
They ain’t gonna take you far

I was ahead
You were a flag
We had a crash
And life was a drag
I had to crawl
Out of a pit
You ain’t never gonna drag me
Back down to that abyss

Flesh and bone
Like a child that aches to be older
Thinkin’ age makes you bolder
You’d be safer if you’d stayed home

Ripe and round
Like a warm peach
Ready for the plucking
Make a wolf feel lucky
When a’ he come sniffin’ round

I was ahead
You were a flag
We had a crash
And life was a drag
I had to crawl
Out of a pit
You ain’t never gonna drag me
Back down to that abyss

Then I awoke the high and mighty
He said “Now you’ve gone too far”
And when I saw the one before me
He was a big bad wolf
With some wide open jaws

Red beady eyes
Long dirty claws
He wanna take a bite outta me

Never let me down again
Never let me down again
Never let me down again
