about

Lead vocalist Tornado on the single:
"YNAMW (You Never Ask Me Why) started out as a funny triplet feel guitar riff with sound effects of whipping and wicked screaming. The first idea was to write a song with the feel of a Clint Eastwood type of a Western movie. While being on a sick leave, vocalist Tornado Bearstone watched The Twilight Saga (accidentally of course). Somehow the idea of superhuman powers, beauty and eternal love appealed to Tornado's state of mind and a modern Cowboy - Vampire character was born in his imagination. So you can say that the story of You Never Ask Me Why was inspired by the movies."

He continues, "As a composition YNAMW is somewhere between Gentle Savage's songs Run Run Poor Boy and Karelian Magic. It has a melodic chorus that gives a good contrast to the quite bold and rhythmic feel of the verses. You can easily recognize it as a Gentle Savage song with the guaranteed sounds they are already known for. There's plenty of interesting things going on both musically and story wise as the Cowboy - Vampire goes out looking for the one he loves! And bites."

lyrics

1. I walk down the street, looking good, feel the heat, feeling good, look at me.
See you standing at your door, looking good, i want more, looking good, come with me.
You never ask me why, i don't stop an' talk a while...
Too proud to say hello, just stand and watch me go.
2. I walk the street, feeling good, look at you, i want you, to be my queen.
Don't want no other love, i want you, feel my need, i want you, bleed for me...

Ch: You're the one i want your the one i need, let me know you are mine o' forever.
Leave your shadows and fly wash hands out of lies, let me know you are mine o' forever.
Never wanna lose the feeling of holding the one of your kind.
Always have the right for your pleasure to love an' play an' feel allright...

3. All my kind gather up, feel the need, who's to bleed, time to feed, feast with me.
My tribe on my side, looking good, feel the night, feelin' good, the beast within...
You never asked me why, i don't stop an' talk a while...
Too proud to say hello, you never touch...

Ch: You're the one i want your the one i need, let me know you are mine o' forever.
Leave your shadows and fly wash hands out of lies, let me know you are mine o' forever.
Never wanna lose the feeling of holding the one of your kind.
Always have the right for your pleasure to love an' play an' feel allright...

Ch: You're the one i want your the one i need, let me know you are mine o' forever.
Leave your shadows and fly wash hands out of lies, let me know you are mine o' forever.
Never lose the feeling of holding the one of your kind.
Always the right for your pleasure to love an' play an' feel allright...
You're the one i want your the one i need, let me know you are mine...o' forever mine..
