Happy Halloween!

To celebrate this auspicious night, Red Heaven releases a cover of “The Hell Of It” by legendary composer/actor Paul Williams from the 1974 cult classic “Phantom of the Paradise.” A long time favorite and a perfect creepy rock tune for the dark Halloween night.

#Pheeeeeonixxxxxx

lyrics

Roll on thunder
Shine on lightning
The days are long and
The nights are frightening
Nothing matters anyway
And that’s the hell of it

Winter comes and
The winds blew stronger
Some grew wiser
You just grew older
You never listened anyway
That’s the hell of it

Good for nothing
Bad in bed
Nobody liked you
You’re better off dead
Goodbye
We’ve all come to say
Goodbye

Born defeated
Died in vain
Super destructive
You were hooked on pain
Though your music lingers on
All of us are glad you’re gone

If I could live my life
As worthlessly as you
I’m convinced I’d wind up
Burning too

Love yourself as
You love no other
Be no man’s fool and
Be no man’s brother
We’re all born to die alone
You know that’s the hell of it

Life’s a game where
They’re bound to beat you
And time’s a trick
It’ll turn and cheat you
We’d only waste it anyway
And that’s the hell of it

Red Heaven Ottawa, Ontario

Red Heaven is lots of weird and intense original rock, blues, and world music. The band formed in 2011 and has released five semi-experimental hard rock albums. Red Heaven’s Joel Tamas (guitar and voice), Trevor Lubin (guitar), Jake Ferrera (drums), Cyrus Tearlach Robertson Orkish (bass), and Allison Bruneau (voice). Someone once told me the band sounds like umami tastes. ... more
