Devil On Your Shoulder, by Some Kind of Infernal Machine (song, 2021)

“You see that boy? You see that girl? You see that longing glance
Don’t you get all chickenshit, go ask them for a dance
You see the way they look at you that gaze all scorch and smoulder
Let me be your wingman, I’m the devil on your shoulder”


Blurb: "Devil on Your Shoulder is a song about making friends with one of your nightmares to ward off the others. What could possibly go wrong?" (from SKOIM's website)

Why is it worth your time?: It's a fun three and a half minutes of a girl making friendly with the devil on her shoulder, who encourages her to live a little and pursue the boy and/or girl of her dreams. The song quality is rough, but the Devil's infectious enthusiasm carries it; it's worth a  few minutes of your time.

Plural Tags: metaphysical/spiritual

Content Warnings: I don't think it's a huge spoiler to tell you that a song about the Devil will involve discussions of death, the afterlife, and Hell.
