WAIT, me too!! That’s amazing! Mine took place in the afterlife with the group originally all against each other for a chance to be brought back to life- the big bad was actually a big bad liar and wasn’t going to revive any of them, and they found that out and were pretty much forced to work together to take down the game master. This song inspired the game master so much and I’m surprised I’m not the only one who used it in a DND campaign!!!

Imagine Shayfer James and Aurelio Voltaire on a song together... a villain song for the ages
This song implies that no matter what the relationship is, straight, gay, lesbian, there still is the possibility of being cheated on, along with some killing :) So glad you and Will Wood collabed!!

Man when I suddenly found ferryman when searching for one of your songs I was shocked because Shayfer James and Will Woods? Like wine and dark chocolate, sour and bitter and soul sinful. I have probably contributed at least a 100 listens on Spotify via looping the song. Hope you guys would collab again! Or just make more music to bless our ears in general. Maybe a duet could be fun? Idk but you’ve been a huge musical inspiration for me and gosh I dont have time to say how your songs have helped me in accepting my own love for music so excuse me whilst I go listen to the ferry man on KZread again!
a 10/10 song from two 10/10 artists AND now it's getting animated? lets GO
"The ferryman only deals in cash" is a phrase that's going to stick in my head forever now. This is just excellent.
