This is the first episode of Sunspot’s brand new podcast, See You On The Other Side, a new paranormal pop culture podcast. In it, you’ll get a little background as to why we find it fun to talk about the supernatural, paranormal, and general other-worldly topics and their relationship with the entertainment industry.
Mike and Wendy recap some of the strange things that they and their bandmate Ben have witnessed while on tour, including a terrifying post-show excursion into the haunted basement of Ballyhoo’s in Merrill, Wisconsin, visiting the haunted railroad crossing in San Antonio, Texas, brushes with orbs caught on video, suspicions of aliens, and more.
Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions for show topics! We’d love to hear from you.
Featured Song: We Are The Darkness from the album Singularity
This song is available on iTunes and also has a video on YouTube. We hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics:
We are the impossible,
the things that should not be,
caught between Hell and Purgatory.
We are the invisible.
Waiting in the dark,
bearing the Devil’s mark.
We are the untouchable,
the kind they walk right through and never even have a clue.
We are the polluted souls.
Sloth and gluttony,
a leper colony.
The unwashed and the unholy.
Better to rule in Hell than never have a chance,
I’ve never been so glad to be forever damned.
And we will scream and we will cry,
and we will stand against the wind and watch them rail against the night.
Beware the human and his silly little game,
We are The Darkness, baby, we are not the same.
We are the undesirable,
Bleeding from the barbs carved into pariah hearts.
We are the un-nameable.
Demonic and sinful,
diabolical.
We are the abominable,
with spirits that are stained,
drunken on the blood of saints.
We are the wicked and the cursed,
doomed to fear the dawn,
an infernal spawn.
We are the whores of Babylon.
Better to rule in Hell than never have a chance,
I’ve never been so glad to be forever damned.
And we will scream and we will cry,
and we will stand against the wind and watch them rail against the night.
Calling all vampires, calling all succubi,
We are what they fear the most and we will never die.
And we will scream and we will cry,
and we will stand against the wind and watch them rail against the night.
Beware the human and his silly little game,
We are The Darkness, baby, we are not the same.
We are The Darkness, baby, we are not the same.
We are The Darkness, baby, we are not the same.
We are the ones that they will try to hold in chains,
the ones like you and me, we are a different breed.
And they’ll call us evil, the sons and daughters of Cain,
Find excuses for their hate and they will know us,
When they curse our name.
When they curse our name.
When they curse our name.
And they will know us when they curse our name.
And we will scream and we will cry,
and we will stand against the wind and watch them rail against the night.
Calling all vampires, calling all succubi,
We are what they fear the most and we will never die.
And we will scream and we will cry,
and we will stand against the wind and watch them rail against the night.
Beware the human and his silly little game,
We are the darkness, baby, we are not the same.

The entire podcast is amazing, which is to be expected from Sunspot
and how they put it all together. The concept is unique and tries to
say that we don’t know a lot about us nor our universe. The banter
between Mike and Wendy is fun and represents our confusion about what it means to be human, or nonhuman, politics, and the paranormal
that is subliminal and some of us including myself have had unexplained experiences. It would be fun to have Sunspot do music for the old Twilight Zone TV show (Rod Serling). Congrats again.
Hi Ned, thank you so much for your kind comments! We really appreciate it and it’s great that you “get” what we are going for here.
The Twightlight Zone idea is a great suggestion, we’ll add it to our list for a future episode! đŸ™‚
Thanks again for listening and for the feedback!
