"ENJOY THE NIGHT WITH ME" Music and Lyrics Copyright 2021 by Hal Dickens Have you thought of becoming someone like me? I really like you and I know you like me. We'll sleep in the daytime and then wake up at night. We'll go feed our hunger under the soft glow of moonlight. Now you have wings just like my wings and teeth that are long. Don't feel guilty. What we do isn't wrong. It's not like we have a choice. We are what we are. Two creatures of the night. Why is that so bizarre? Fly with me through the night and don't question why. I picked you to be with me! Enjoy the night with me! (spoken and sung) See the people flee! It's so fun to see! Come on and feed with me!

Link is after lyrics. "TO BE HUMAN" Music & Lyrics Copyright 2021 by Hal Dickens Sometimes I wish I was human again, to feel just what you're feeling right now. I'd be meek and adoring, instead of dark and alluring. I'd just be a girl, a sweet normal girl. Do you know what it's like to hang upside down in a tree? Or crave warm blood instead of wine? Of course not! You're only human! But that's fine. Oh, please don't whine. Show a little spirit! Show a little fire! Calm down. Things aren't that dire. All I want to do is hang with you. All I want to do is be with you and do all the things that humans do. Don't you see? I'm just a wee bit tired of being me. So, show me around! Take me to town! Show me off! Make me feel like I'm your special lady! I promise I'll be good. I won't look at everyone as food. I'll restrain myself! I won't be myself! Instead, I'll pretend to be human! For tonight, I'll just be human!

"My Songs And What Inspired Me To Write Them" has just been published! Available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMM2S8H6/ref=sr_1_6?crid=QMIQ549LQ0RS&keywords=hal+dickens&qid=1668662198&sprefix=hal+dic&sr=8-6 I wrote this book for anyone who's wondered what inspired me to write the songs I've uploaded over the past years. The book includes lyrics to my 89 original songs including songs I wrote for scenes from my novels. For many of the songs I talk about what inspired me to write them and for some of the songs for my novels I include the actual excerpt from the book that inspired the song. This was a very personal introspective experience for me as I wrote this book. The song I used for this video is Bunny Lo singing "I Am Something." I wrote it for battered women survivors but it also applies to me. There were people in my life who made me feel as if I were nothing. I set out to prove them wrong and unleashed the talent I didn't know was inside me. The songs in this book are proof that I AM SOMETHING and YOU ALL ARE TOO. Never ever let anyone tell you different. I may not be on Youtube as much anymore but I've enjoyed experiencing ALL of your many talents. Thank you for supporting me these past years.

I was a few days past three months old and she's twenty-eight years old. These recordings are taken from old reel to reel tapes I found in my mother's basement after she passed away. Thank you to Todd Kurland for making digital copies for me. They are priceless. The first song she sings while she's feeding me is "I Cain't Say No" from "Oklahoma! (1951). The second song is "It's A Big, Wide, Wonderful World" (1939). You can hear my father join in. The third song is "When You Wore A Tulip And Wore A Big, Red Rose" (1914). The last song (date she sang it is unknown) is "Yours" (1941). </video> <video> Bunny Lo sings Blood Tango (Lyrics in description) Original song for my vampire novel Description: Amazing Bunny Lo sings my original song "Blood Tango" for my vampire novel which is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.

I'm a creature of the night, a woman with needs, a woman who feeds... If you love me, then come join me. We'll take a bite out of life! But we won't drain it dry! Just enough to want more! To crave more! We'll sleep by day, then wake at night and then...we'll dance the blood tango! Dance with me! Feel your blood boil with me! Get real close and feel the strength in me! Don't back away, away from me. I need you close, so very close. Don't you want to dance the blood tango with me? I'll take a sip of your blood and you'll feel weak but I'll hold you up as we dance...cheek to cheek. We'll work the floor and you'll want more! Do you have the guts to do the blood tango with me? C'mon baby, do the blood tango with me.

Come a little bit closer if you dare. You think you know me. Well, think again. You assume I'm just a girl! I'll have you know that I'm strong and I'm brave! I won't be anyone's slave.

This is my last video until later this year or early the next. I'll be concentrating my time and energy on writing more novels which I'll announce the publication of in the future here. I'm currently working on several stories. My song albums and singles are no longer available for sale from music sites. I had to remove them for reasons I won't discuss. However, they will be back in the future as various artists compilations. I've greatly appreciated all of your support and kind comments over the past years. I'll miss you. One last thing: Stay strong, stay focused, enjoy life and to hell with anyone who tries to bully you or tries to erase you. People who treat others this way are worthless trash.

It'll be fun. Please don't run. I wanna play hide and seek. I promise I won't sneak a peek...to see where you go...to hide from me. Let's play hide and seek. If I find you, I'll kiss your cheek. That's the reward I get plus the look in your eyes when your legs go weak and you realize you can't hide from me. I'd find you anywhere. I'll give you a big head start and you'll think you're smart. I'll listen for your beating heart. It'll be so much fun when I find you. I'll watch your eyes go wide but then the fear will subside when you realize I mean you no harm. No, no, I like you too much. I'd never hurt you. And after I win, we'll play again. It'll be me who hides but I'll let you find me. Then you'll see the reward you get. It's something you won't forget.

In another life you would need me. In another life you would hold me. In another life you would scold me because I'd declare my love for you so the world would know it's true that there's no other man like you. In another life you'd understand me. In another life you'd touch me. In another life you'd know me. I dream of that. I wish for that. I die every day I'm close to you. If you only knew it's true the love I feel for you. In another life you'd take my hand and show everyone that you're my man. I dream of that day when you find me. I dream of the nights when you'll hold me.

But you're also not begging for your life to be spared. I know that you love me. I know that you care. It only hurts for a moment. This I do swear. I'll bite you upon the neck. Don't be scared of a little peck. I love you and you love me. Together we will always me. For years I've been lonely without a man to adore but now that I found you, I'm a woman once more. We'll fly through the night, the cool wind at our backs. We'll see all the colors when the night is pitch black. Close your eyes and do not fear. I'll hold you close year after year. I love you and you love me. It's time to set your body free. You love me and I love you. I can feel because of you. I love you and you love me, together for eternity.
