from a somewhat under-appreciated band. Thanks for sharing.

...in our first gig ever.
We did 4 songs in a row with no break between them. We rotated the lead vocal so each of us sang one.
Blood & Roses was the 2nd tune, sung by the bass player. Putting our stamp on it, I didn't put a second guitar part, choosing to find a way to add keyboards. And we sang the repeated verse in 4 voice harmony.
We changed it substantially, but we kept the same dark mood.
