Allen Brooks – I’m Killing You (unplugged)
2 min read
Today I am reviewing Allen Brooks “I’m Killing You” Unplugged.
When the song started I got a heavy Natural Born Killers soundtrack vibe. This song would fit absolutely perfectly on that soundtrack. The sound, the content, the voice, and the vocals are all eerie and absolutely stellar when it comes to dark-themed music. The guitar is a nice mellow laid-back loopish sound that doesn’t seem to change tempo too much, and for me, I love that. I am a hip-hop guy so anything that could have a nice drum added to it is wonderful when it comes to rap and this is one of those songs I can see someone down the road trying to sample.
“Run a need up in my arm and tell me if it feels the same, the beast in me tells me what to do” This song has super dark and devilish lyrics, I could hear Marilyn Manson singing this song as it has that slow Manson style that he is often known to do. The thing I like the most about this song isn’t the instruments or anything like that, but the writer really did an excellent job on this song. I’m assuming Allern Brooks wrote the song as well and it is a hit. Allen told me that this is a re-release and there is another version that’s not unplugged, Id love to hear that version as well. When it comes to dark-themed music, being able to reach the listener and make them believe what you are saying is the key to making your song good. this song when I hear it I don’t feel sorry for the singer, I don’t feel like he doesn’t want to be the beast, but I feel like he is proud of it and he is bragging about how badass he is even tho he knows it’s a suicide mission to be one with the beast. “You’re KILLING ME, BUT I’M KILLING YOU” haha, I love this song. It’s going on my playlist for sure.
I would love to make a song with this guy! What a treat!
