Music is great but this is kinda sad. The little guy looks bored out of its mind. Like circus elephants chained to the ground. Can you get the owner ? to toss in a few toys for it? Plastic legos or a ping pong ball maybe?

@CatpurrRobertaBobbi Hi, yes, I've been waiting for his response though....

It's the year 2100, and New York City, submerged after a massive hurricane sweeps across the east coast, is now presided over by a gigantic mutant octopus whose suckers salaciously savage Lady Liberty, whose glaucous frame he has retrieved--with mischief aforethought-- from the deep.

But of course there's no such thing as GLOBAL WARMING--is there?

Boogie to the end, my friend!

@apollonmusagete LOL :-)

A great and spooky boogie. Well written! Really cool sound; I like that octatonic mode. Of course, it could work not only with an octopus 'visual,' but in a film score about a crazy chase of some sort. I can see all sorts of possibilities...

@yeoldepiano thanks :-)

Hi. I hope the owner will. :) I love octos. Sadly I read they live only a few years even in the wild. The females even if not mated lay eggs and die. Sad but natures way I guess. Take Care. BTW I am enjoying your music.
